PAGE FOUR I—SECTION TWO. Life Policyholders Had Good Health Year During 1956 Accidents By Traffic Take Heavier Toll Past Two Years Based on present indication, the death rate for 1950 among life in- 1 surance policyhollers may reach a, new all-time low, accordfny to the Institute of Life Insurance. Most’ causes of death appear to have re- j corded lower rates in 1956 than the! year before or at least held at j about the same level. One notable ; exception has heen automobile fa-1 talities. Through most of the i year, traffic accidents have hoeiJ taking a heavier toll than for the I past two years. “The area of accidental death to-j day looms as one of the most ur gent on the nation’s health front,” Dr. Louis I. Dublin, eminent statis tician and consultant on health and! welfare for the Institute, comnient-l ed. “Medical research continues to I I make remarkable progress and the annual toll from many diseases is still falling. Tuberculosis, for in stance, once the leading cause of, death, is now on its way to elimi nation as a serious menace to health. During 1956, it accounted for only about 1 per cent of all! deaths among policyholders, while' ten years ago, it accounted for -I 'or! 5 per cent. Challenge for Individuals “On the other hand, the rate for accidental deaths, today account ing for over seven times as many deaths as tuberculosis, has shown relatively little improvement over ten years ago. The motor vehicle death rate has actually increased in the last few .Vears. This is an area in which every man, women and child can act without waiting for medical research. Thousands of lives coould be saved from acci dents each year, if the American people showed ordinary precaution! both in their homes, their factories! and on the road.” I i Deaths from the circulatory di-| senses led the list fop 1956, ac counting for well over half of the! total. The death rate front these causes was- slightly higher during the year, and this is still the No. 1 Killer. During 1956 deaths from the communicable diseases of childhood held at the same record low rate of the year before.
