Slow Down And Live
ticipating in the 1954 summertime
highway safety campaign. Slow
Down., and Live, show a reduction
of nearly seven percent in traffic
deaths for this July Fourth, week
end as compared with the same
holiday last year.
Highway deaths in the region,
which includes every state from
Maine to Texas, totaled 179 this
year. Last year's figure was 192.
The reduction, according to Cap
tain C E, Taylor of Florida, chair
man of the Southern State Safety
Coordinators group, and Paul E
Burke of Maryland, chairman of the
Northeastern State Safety Coordi
nators, is "remarkable" because of
the length of this year's holiday.
The coordinator pointed out, that
this July fourth weekend covered
a full three days. Last year's was
listed officially as i two-day holi
day. Seven of the participating states
showed decreases in numbers of
deaths this year. They were Arkan-
i-sas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massa
chusetts, New York, Tennessee and
Virginia.
Seven other states, Alabama,
Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Texas and West Virgin
ia, held even with the toll of a year
ago. The states of Connecticut, Del
aware, Florida, Georgia, Mississi
ppi, iMortn Carolina, ttnoae isiana,
Pennsylvania,' South Carolina, and
Vermont reported increases.
In announcing the figures, Cap
tain Taylor and Mr. Burke said.
This is a remarkable record in
view of the difference in the peri
ods of time covered by the two hol
idays. We must remember that the
1954 Independence Day weekend
offered 45 per cent greater exposure
to traffic hazards in point of time
than did last year's weekend."
This is the second consecutive
1954 summer holiday during which
the ' Slow Down and Live states
showed ; reductions from the 1953
death figures. During the Memorial
Day weekend the states experienced
18 per cent reduction as com
pared with last year.
