DEATH ON THE HIGHWAY Now that Spring i> la-re the annual slaughter of men and women on the highways of the nation lupins to climb toward its peak. There are a couple of million more earn <>n the rbud* this year than last year, and greater incentives to motor travel in the attraction of the two World's Fair- in New York and Kan Francisco. It will be, therefore, xnne thing like a miracle if the highway death toll of 1939 drops below that of 1938. In 1937 more people were killed in motor accidents in the United States than there were soldiers killed under the Stars and Stripes in the World War. In. that year .'{9,500 Americans met death on the highway, while only 35,886 members of the A.E.F. were killed in action. Last year's record of motor deaths was somewhat bet ter, only 31,500 fatalities in 1938. lint whether we kill 30, I5.000.y0 of the amount in^Re voiviug Fund has b?-en pledged t?j- j wards the building of an Armory ! in Louisburg. and $500.00 towards I a Community building in You agt ville.
