A Speed, commanding officer of Troop E, State Highway Patrol of Aaheville, was the prin cipal speaker at the Andrews Lions Club meeting last Thursday. Capt. Speed compared the over all total number of deaths in all U. S. wars from 1775 through 1951 to the total traffic deaths from 1889 through 1951. Although the period of American history Cover ed 177 years, while the period of auto usage covered only some 40 to 50 years, the millionth death by each cause was recorded within three months of one another. Capt. speed listed me two top causes of fatal auto accidents as <li speed and (2) drinking drivers j In graphic actual clinical cases, he painted the horrible results of ac cidents In each case. He gave statistics which prove conclusively that speed limits have a definite Relationship with the number of accidents. Capt. Speed stated flat records show that states having 55 miles per hour speed limits, and over, led the na tion in the number of accidents. States with a SO mile per hour limit had 20% less deaths; while the state of Massachusetts which ha* a 40 MPH limit had 49.3% | fewer deaths than the national av erage. Capt. Speed deplored the ever increasing ntimber of drinking drivers. He stated that alcoholism was fast becoming a major prob lem in America. Capt. Speed listed two major problems facing the NC State Highway Patrol. One was the com parative low salary scale of patrol men. rhe second problem was a lack of judicial facilities to take care of traffic violations promptly. The oicture of death on the highways as shown by Capt. Speed was a glum one. However, he of "ered what were, in his opinion, some ways of harnessing this gi gantic killer; (1) A compulsory education program in all high schools where youngsters are ef fectively taught the danger and the 1 responsibility Involved in driving a car. (2) State adoption of "alco hol content tests" whereby, quite simply, it can be proved whether or not .1 driver is intoxicated. (3) Traffic courts in each county, with a competent lecturer, which can employ the psychological approach in convincing drivers that safe driving is the only sane driving. In conclusion Oapt.
