Traffic Accidents
Cause More Deaths
• Than Nation’s Wars
Common Sense Rules of
While Driv
ing Is Urged
Traffic accidents in the single month
«f July last year killed only 900 few-
P%r Americans than were killed in the
Revolutionary war.
That ironic fact underlines the Nat
ional Safety Council’s campaign to re
duce accident, especially on the na
tion’s highways, over the Fourth of
July—the day which commemorates
that victorious struggle for independ
ence.
The Revolutionary war cost 4,044
patriots who were killed in action or
who died of wounds. Traffic accidents
Jin July last year killed 3,150 persons,
according to the Council.
Tragic as war is, the Council said,
the number of Americans killed in
traffic accidents since the invention
of the automobile in nearly twice as
great as the number killed in combat
in all the nation’s wars.
American dead from enemy ac
tion in riie eight conflicts of our his
tory, including the war in Korea, total
about 533,000, the Council said, while
traffic accidents have now claimed
more than 971,000.
“With traffic deaths approaching
the 1,000,000 mark, the high-hazard
of the Fourth of July cele
bration is a good time for every mo
torist to pledge that he won’t be one
in a million,” said Ned H. Dearborn,
president of the Council.
“The calendar will save lives this
year, since the Fourth will fall in
mid-week and bring only a one-day
“holiday for most persons,” Mr. Dear
born said. “Even so, it will be a day
of tragedy for many unless common
sense rules of behavior are observed.”
He said these rules are:
I 1. Start your trip early enough so
*that you won’t have to hurry. Take
it easy.
2. Be patient in heavy traffic. Don’t
let annoyance make you take chances.
3. Leave fireworks alone. Instead
take the children to a supervised pub

Surface bass-bug fishing is to warm \
water angling what dry-fly fishing is i
to the trout angler, and it isn’t much ,
different although generally heavier ,
gear is used. However, fly-rod fish
ing for bass and other warm water 1
fish is not confined to the use of sur-
face lure.
There are all kinds of semi-surface ,
and underwater artificials to use with j
the fly rod that will take anything •
from the willing panfish to the musky. ,
Among them are feather bucktails, \
spinners, spoons, midget plugs, rubber
and plastic imitations of insect and
animal life, poppers and whatnots. 1
The basic equipment for such fish- j
ing, according to Bill Wolf, consists of 1
a rod about nine feet long with enough 1
backbone to overcome the wind re- <
sistance and /or slight weight of the
lures, a level or tropedo-head fly line,
and a strong but rather short leader
of nylon or gut. Lighter tackle is
sometimes used.
I Most important to the fish is the
terminal tackle—(the lures that go on
the end of that leader. Their num
ber is legion and obviously it's impos
sible to describe them here.
There is a standard way of fishing
bass bugs and surface lures that seems
to give best results. The lure is cast
to the desired spot, usually in shal
, low water, and allowed to rest where
it falls for seconds that often grow
to as much as a minute. Then, the
rod tip is raised slightly to make the
lure twitch as though some animal
or insect is moving feebly after fall
ing in the water. In this manner the
lure is retrieved almost to the side of
the boat or bank, and a single cast will
take many minutes.
This method can be varied with
profit. I have seen surface lures
skipped over the water with great
success.
But lures are what you make them.
Their success depends upon exactly
the same factor that governs all fish
ing that is above the level of plaiq

lack: The angler must know what the
lure would look like naturally in the
water and present it accordingly, and
he must know wh4re the fish he seeks
would naturally expect that kind of
food to appear.
