THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Death stalked on the highways
of this county again last week.
tx>osting the number of its auto
mobile accident victims to four.
While the record this year trails
that of a year ago. motorists are
swinging into the home stretch
with an apparent determination
to maintain the tragic pace It
is apparent that we haven't seen
the tragic picture that has been
painted for four families in this
county so far this year If only
the burdensome thoughts that
prey upon their minds could be
registered in ours, possibly we
would readily realize that the
wild dash through life is not as
net . vsary as we now believe it
to be. ?
Two more months of the cur
rent year be ahead, and it would
appear that nothing could be
worth more than to exercise cau
tion and care that one or more
human lives might not be snatch
ed into eternity.
The following tabulations of
fer a comparison of the accident
trend first, by corresponding
weeks in this year and last and
for each year to the present time.
