THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1947. Record Traffic Jam Expected On July 4 “Be Alive on the Fifth” Keynote of Nation wide Campaign The biggest traffic jam in the na tion’s history will occur during the Fourth of July week-end holiday this year, the National Safety Council predicts. To meet the threat of a record breaking traffic toll, the Council ap pealed to motorists and pedestrians to “Be Alive on the Fifth” as the keynote of a nationwide campaign against accidents during the holiday. Close to 30,000,000 vehicles are ex pected to pack the highways over the Fourth of July, the Council said, and their speedometers are expected to clock nearly four billion miles dur ing the three-day holiday. This es timate is based on gasoline consump tion, which shows mileage this year exceeding even the previous record level of pre-war 1941. One hundred and thirty other na tional organizations have joined with the Council in a united effort to pre vent a jamboree of carelessness over the Fourth. The campaign is designed to help public officials, traffic officers and safety leaders in their efforts to curb the holiday death toll. In asking for public support of the campaign, Ned H. Dearborn, presi dent of the Council, pointed out that a similar coordinated effort last year helped to reduce the July traffic toll 23 per cent below the previous high in 1941. “Nevertheless,” he said, “8,300 persons .died from accident! of all kinds in July last year, and as usual the Fourth of July celebration con tributed substantially to that figure. "This year we have many danger ous factors—a three-day holiday, in creased mileage, relative prosperity. It adds up to a big celebration-—and a big pile-up of dead and injured— unless we all make it our business to do something about it. “We can do something about it. be cause these tragedies result from j things we can control —haste, selfish- j ness, thoughtlessness, the desire to show off. "Take it easy on the Fourth. Be alive on the Fifth.” Lions Club Installs Officers For Year (Continued From Pago One) and Ralph Parrish: directors for twoi years.
