Traffic Fatalities In N.C. Now 5 Per Cent Under '55
The Motor Vehicles Department
reported today that, contrary to a
national trend, traffic fatalities in
North Carolina this year are run
ning below last year.
National Safety Council statistics
show that nationwide road fatalities
are running eight per cent high
er than in 1955. In North Carolina
current highway deaths are five
per cent below last year, the ve
hicles agency said.
This reduction was brought about
in October when 86 persons were
killed on Tar Heel streets and
highways compared with 137 fur
the same month last year.
Past experience indicates No
vember and December are particu
larly hazardous for highway deaths.
"If we are to continue with the
present trend toward reduced fatal
ities," said Motor Vehicles Com
missioner Ed Scheidt, "we must
realize that the year's most dan
gerous walking and driving period
still lies ahead?and act according
ly."
Ordinarily the vehicles agency
calls a year "good" when fewer
than 1000 road deaths are report
ed. A
Thle^Bwere 1165 fatalities last
year ^Vl991 in 1954, the first full
year of scientific law enforcement
techniques brought in by Scheidt.
Attached are some comparison
figures showing month by month
fatalities for 1955 and 1956 to date:
1955 1956
January 85 90
February 69 60
March 76 92
April 86 94
May 92 91
June 88 80
July 106 93
August 82 107
September 98 89
October 137 86
Border Line Dropped
ASHEVILLE <AP> ?- The North
Carolina border was extended in
to South Carolina 60 feet without
fanfare after a survey team dis
covered an old error in private
property lines.
Politely the variation was called
to the attention of both Tar Heel
and Palmetto state officials and
the error rectified, including the
replacing of border markers on
Highway 107
In 1821 there were about 30.000
pioneers in Australia. More than
