HIGHWAY TRAGEDIES
The tragic death toll for the nation's extended
Labor Day week-end appears headed for the preholi
day estimate of 420. Final figures are not yet com
piled but it is certain that death took no holiday
over the past week-end.
The traffic toll for the past Fourth of July was
370; for the Memorial Day period it was 371. Over
the past week-end, the count has already been an
nounced at 403. Our highways are becoming in
creasingly dangerous with speed and intoxication
causing the vast majority of the fatal accidents.
Western North Carolina was fortunate this past
week-end with only two being killed. Many were
seriously injured but only two deaths were caused
by highway mishaps. Nine out of ten accidents
could be prevented with more soberness and sense.
And how sad it is that most of the accidents involve
young drivers. Regardless of how often they are
warned and regardless of how efficient our State Pa
trolmen and other officers are1, too many young men
and women disregard all warnings, seemingly think
ing that "it can't happen to me."
We urge parents to emphasize the dangers of
peed and not get "mad" when someone tells them
that their son or daughter is reckless while driving.
We urge officers to "clamp down" on speed-minded
youngsters and arrest all offenders regardless of
who they might be.
A few of the "last words" of some of the very
dead Labor Day motorists might have been:
"Notice the way she takes this turn at eighty . .
. "Why should I dim my lights? He aint;" "Wan
na drag . . . ?;" "What's wrong with these tires?
They've only gone 40,000 . . ,;" "Sure, I'm on the
wrong side. There's never any traffic coming this
way , . "Thanks, but I'll light my own;" "I am go- ; .
ing to see if this thing Really can do 120 . . .V, fJ&PoJu-.
