Onlv a reversal of pan experience
rtnrin? tlv> last two weeks of this ,
month will prevent North Carolina's
1940 traffic death toll from exceed
?ii ? the 1339 slaughter.
.?ccidents records received by the
R'ate Hiehway division .show that
more than 900 persons were killed
on North Carolina streets and high
ways from January 1 throuah Dec- '
ember 15. 1940. The state's 1939 traf
fic toll numbered 934 persons, which
means that am average of two fatali
ties a day for the remainder of Dec
ember would run the 1940 toll above
that of last year. And pas: experi
ence in the state has been that Dec
ember. most dan.terous month of t'-e
year, averages between three and
four traffic fatilities a day
We hope all North Carolina moto
ruus and pedestrauis would hee<l
Governor Holy's terent plea for
greater caution, alertness and obe
dience to trarttic law* during the re
mainder of this year
It is true that there has been an
increase in traffic fatuities in the
nation as a whole this year, and it
is also true that motor vehicle re
gistrations and gasoline consumption
have hit new peaks in North Caro
lina this yar. but these factors do
not mean that there f.s any more ex
cuse for a bird accident record this
year than there \va slast year, they
only mean that there is more oppor
tunity for accidents and all who
use our streets and highways have am
alternative of rejecting that oppor
tunity.
