THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Martin County motorists
rounded out the first quarter of
the new year last night with an
ugly record to behold for the
period. Two lives have already
been lost, seventeen persons
havi' been injured, several of
whom will limp the remainder
of their natural lives. And that's
not including the property loss
If Martin County motorists ab
hor war, then they should take
, a definite stand against the
ghastly business of war on the
highways.
If some one were to risk his
life in any other manner or
stand on the Roanoke River
bridge and nonchalantly toss one
hundred one-dollar bills into the
stream, his action would be the
talk of the day. Some would even
call him crazy. In a little differ
ent way and after an extremely
dangerous fashion many motor
ists are flirting with death on
the highways every day and the
wreckage cost is running well
over a hundred dollars a week.
