Wilkesboro Your Life Is In Your Hands I Raleigh.—Do you live a charm ed life? Probably most of the victims of fatal traffic accidents last year thought they did, according to S. L. Gaynor, assistant director of the highway safety division of the North Carolina department of motor vehicles. This reluctance on the part of those who drive or walk to real ize, and accept, a personal re sponsibility for traffic safety is the April target of the motor ve hicle department. "Your Life Is In Your Hands" is the month's traffic safety slogan. . "Just why the average person feels that Joe Doakes, who is killed or injured in a traffic ac cident, is someone special—some one marked by Destiny for mis fortune-^is a mystery," Gaynor said. "Last year, 32,000 'Joe Doakes' died in the United States as a result of traffic accidents, and if the present rate continues, traffic authorities predict that one out of every two persons now living has been or will be injur ed or will be killed in a traffic accident during their lifetime. Right here in North Carolina, 734 persons died,, and 7,490 oth ers were injured in traffic last year. "This will illustrate that the April safety theme, "It Can Hap pen to You", is no idle figure of speech. ( "The best way to lower the odds against yourself,' Gaynor said, "is to remember that when you're behind the wheel of your car you're like a rolling powder keg with lighted fuse. It's not necessary for anyone else to be involved to create a fatal acci dent. In 1948 in North Carolina, 22 persons were killed in auto mobile accidents not invjDlving another behicle, a pedestrian, or fixed object in the road. The bulk of the blame in these accidents rests on the driver's carelessness, ignorance, or disregard for traf fic regulations". Just paying attention to your own safety, the department of motor vehicles believes, may not be the perfect solution, but when the day comes that every driver and pedestrian adheres to it, our traffic accident figures will be mostly concerned with deaths and injuries resulting from auto mobiles being trapped under fall ing trees, or in other freak ac cidents. Referring to such a possibili ty, Gaynor said, "I'd rather cope with falling trees than with some of the drivers on the roads to day". o — Soil fumigation to control nematodes or eel-worms is just as effective if the fumigant is limited to the soil immediately surrounding the plant. Dog Vaccinations Here On Saturday A. J. Brown, dog vaccinator for ^ North Wilkeaboro township, will | be at Reddies River grocery nearl the Reddies River bridge in this , city all day Saturday for the pur pose of vaccinating dogs, as pro- • vided by law. • ( ""Police here are endeavoring to do something about the surplus of dogs, many of which apparent ly have no owners and have not been vaccinated. | Warning has been given that dogs running loose and which have not been vaccinated will be destroyed in the interest of pub lic safety. ( Mr. Brown has stated that per sons who wish to see him on any date other than Saturday may find him at his home, located on the Mountain View road one-half mile from Fairplains.
