Mac Ray Whi taker, of Frank lin, chairman of district camping McGlamery Talks To Rotary Club On Airto Safety Why did 1.108 persons die in automobile accidents in North Carolina last year? Because somebody violated the law. In every fatal accident, there was a violation of law. B. L. Mc Glamery told the Franklin Rotary Club at its meeting last Thursday night. Somebody was driving under the Influence of alcohol, or was on the wrong side of the road, or failed to give the proper signal, or was driving too fast, or doing something else in violation of traffic laws. "There is no such thing as an 'unavoidable' traffic accident". Mr. McOlamery said, quoting Gov ernor Luther H. Hodges. The traffic death toll can be re duced. the speaker, a member of the Governor's Traffic Safety Council speakers' bureau, declar ed. The proof is that is has been reduced. Last year there were five per cent fewer traffic deaths in this state than in 1955, and the reduc tion ill deaths is much greater than that figure suggests; because activities, announced that a camp oree will be held May 17-19.
