Road Mishaps In
State Show Sharp
Increase Lately
First 10 Months
Of Year Shows
An Increase Of
26 Per Cent In
Highway Accidents
RALEIGH Highway accidents
in North Carolina are on the march
again.
The State Department of Motor
Vehicles said that there was a 26
per cent Increase in fatalities on
state highways and streets in Oc
tober of this year as compared
with the same month in 1944. A
total of 77 persons were killed and
436 injured this past October,
while 61 were killed and 436 In
jured in October last year.
The department reported that
during the first ten months of
1945, more than 5,000 accidents
were listed, in which 564 persons
were killed and some 3,000 injured.
During that same period last year,
there were over 4.000 accidents
recorded, with 512 persons killed
and more than 2,000 injured. This
is an increase of more than ten
per cent for the ten-month period.
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
T. Boddie Ward, said that the
"pathetic part of this report is
that practically, if not all of these
accidents could have been avoided
through careful, efficient and
courteous driving." He pointed out
that as long "as motorists continue
to drive carelessly and recklessly
witli a total disregard to the safety
of themselves and others, the
tragic toll of human life will con
tinue to be exacted.
"It would seem." he added,
"that the living would eventually
learn from the mistakes of the
dead and maimed, but unfortunate
ly their story must be told by
others."

Man in Reno Pays $50
For Chance to Hit Wife:
RENO Patrolman Robert F.hel
ing thought a pedestrian v.as
"joking" when he asked: "How
much will it .cost me to hit my
wife?"
Ebeling said that when he re
plied, "It'll cost you $50," the man
swung and slapped his wife, who
was standing nearby.
Eliding wasn't joking, either,
when he took the man identified
as Bill Crowson, forty-nine, of
Montana to police court. Police
Judge Guy Walts fined Crowson
$50 on a disturbance-of-the-peacc
charge.
