Millionth Victim Os
Highway Slaughter
Remains Mysteiy
At Present Rate Date Is
Set For Sometime In
December
Who will be the one millionth per
son to die in a traffic accident? Where'
will it happen ? Exactly when ?
The National Safety Council says
the answers to those questions
will be known.
If the present rate of traffic deaths
continues, some time next December a
child will dart into the street, a home
ward-bound salesman will try to pass
a truck on a hill, a young couple will
hurtle off a curve on the way to a
dance, an old woman will become con
fused crossing a street—and the mil
lionth traffic victim will pass un
heralded into a dusty police file.
But even though the actual identity
of the millionth victim will remain a
mystery, the Council has made plans
which will enable it to name the fate
ful day as a climax to an intensive
safe driving campaign in which all
safety organizations are cooperating.
The Council announced it is setting
up the machinery to supplement its
regular monthly reports with special

Maybe you’ve noticed that dollars don’t
seem to talk as loud as ihey used to in a
lot of places.
But you ought to hear what they say about
this Buick.
They say—here’s the big thrill—big mileage
big power of a valve-in-head Fireball Engine
-eight-cylinder performance at the price
you’ll pay for most sixes.
They say—here are size and room and comfort
that are hard to match at anywhere near the
price tag this Buick Special is wearing.
They say—here are such things as an oil filter,
air cleaner, vacuum booster, built-in summer
ventilation not as “extras” but yours at no
extra charge.
They say that “smart buy’s Buick”—by a wide
measure.
But a smart buyer will also let this dashing

weekly summaries from the states.
On November 15, the Council will be
gin issuing weekly bulletins on the
grand total of traffic deaths since the
advent of the automobile. These bulle
tins also will forecast the probable
date of the millionth fatality.
“Our only purpose in trying to iden
tify such a grim date in history is to
dramatize the horror of such a huge
traffic toll,” said Ned H. Dearborn,
Council president. “Perhaps 1,000,000
dead—almost twice the number of
Americans who have died in combat in
all our wars—will crack the apathy of
a nation which can see 35,000 persons
killed by autos in a year without much
concern.
“It has taken a little more than 50
years to kill the first million. If traf
fic deaths continue at the present
rate, it will take only 30 years to kill
the second million. We can only hope
that this terrible day of seven-figure
reckoning will become a safety mile
stone —not just another gravestone—
on the road to more responsible use
of the automobile.”
The Council, which makes regular
cumulative tabulations of traffic
deaths, said that even its elaborate
nationwide reporting system is not
fast enough to give up-to-the-m : ntite
totals. Furthermore, vital statistics ;
, were not recorded completely by all
: the states in earlier years after the
turn of the century, so that motor,
: vehicle death totals for some years
are estimates based on the best avail
. able information.
; Thus any attempt to identify the
! actual millionth victim, Mr. Dearborn
1 said, would place the spotlight of no-
toriety arbitrarily on the tragedy of
one family when “the spotlight should
be turned on the tragedy of a nation
which permits motor madness to go
on.” ____________
