DEATH WALKS THE HIGHWAY The gods of recklessness are devouring thousands of lives each month on American highways—and there is no limit to their appe tite. During the recent Fourth of July week end, close to 500 people met accidental deaths— the largest number for that period since 1931. Fireworks were responsible for a smaller num ber of fatalities than usual—but that greatest destroyer of all, he carelessly operated motor car, chalked up a grisly record. And every week end witnesses similar occurences. If, in a single disaster such as an earthquake or a fire ,as many people were to be killed as have been killed in accidents in the last month, the v.'orld would be aghast. But we seem to regard accidents as be ing inevitable, and look upon them with equa nimity. But the great tragedy is that accidents- are not inevitable. Nine out of ten are prevent able, and easily preventable. Carelessness, reck lessness, ignorance and stupidity are the prin cipal causes of accidental injury and death, and surely they can be cured—through force of public opinion and, perhaps most important of all, through education of the individual. Death walkks the highway. He strides through our homes. He is an unseen visitor at every place of amusement. He is apt to ptit in his appearance in the happiest hours. The deaths that follow accidents can be eliminated almost 100 per cent if we will only make a small effort, and learn that a foolish act that saves a minute or provides a brief, futile thrill can send us or others into eternity. No graver problem faces the American people than the accident problem and its solution is entirely up to the people. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Alford of Henderson visited the Durwood Edwards Tuesday night. Mr. Al. ford addressed the Lions Club at their dinnen. Mrs. Roland Geddie is spending a week with relatives at Lewiston. Mr. and Mrs. W. D.
