The 742 persons killed in traffic accidents on North Carolina streets and highways the first eight months of this year represented a 45 per cent increase over the 509 persons reported killed in the same period last year, and i the number killed through August of this year exceeded the number killed through October of last year. "Although traffic fatalities all over tlie country have increased this year as a result of increased . motor vehicle registrations, soaring gasoline sales, the stepped-up tempo of life in general, and var- 1 ious other factors, North Carolina's record stands as a shameful commentary on the thoughtlessness, recklessness, carelessness and inattention of our drivers", ucciarcu iwnaiu iiuluh, uucwn of the safety division. "Only two states in the country have a higher mileage death rate than North Carolina and only one state is charged with a greater percentage increase in .1 fatalities", he added. Sixty-six of the 1U0 counties I showed increases, 23 showed decreases and 11 stayed on a par with last year's record. Some of the heavier increases were recorded in Wakev Columbus, Davidson, Durham, Cumberland, Onslow, Pender, and Sampson Counties. Some of the 1940 high fatality counties which are showing decreases this year are Forsyth, ;. Edgecombe, Nash, Cabarrus and Catawba. "It looks like we are headed for the worst year in the state's j history with respect to traffic deaths", Hocutt stated.
