March :! 1 The nation’* t nil'lie deaths in Fell ruary were the lowest in 111 years, tlie .National Safety Conn oil said today, hut cited figures whhh it said indicated a stahili zing of the toll at levels from 4U to 50 per rent below those ol lft4 1 the last pre-war year i Although the 1.<1(111 toll last month was •jL’ pet tent below the February, 1942, total and :1s per cent lower than the all-time February high of 2,579 in 1941, the council said the figures pro vided additional evidence that the sharp declines in traffic, deaths that started last year with wartime restrictions, apparently had ‘‘touened bottom ' The council said travel trends had not been determined but it believes that the death trende themselves “prompt th eeoncius ion that mileage rationing now in effect probably has made its lull cut in travel, and that war time traffic will continue at, pre sent levels.” ! For the first two months this year, the South Atlantic states showed the largest drop in tiaf fic facilities—50 per cent the council reported. The decrease in traffic deaths in the South Atlantic stales in February was 48 per cent. In all states and regions the biggest reductions continued to oe in rural rather than city areas. Similarly reductions were greater i in smaller cities than in larger. The Cherryville ninth School Hand will play it's final conceit Friday nijrht. April 2, at the School Auditorium.
