Who be the one' millionth per
son to die ua traffic accident? Where
will it happenl Exactly when?
The National -Safety Council says
the answers to those' questions never
win me Bi(iwn."v:;. , . y .
, If the present rate of traffic deaths
continues,, some tiro next December a
child will dart into the' street, a home-
ward-bound salesman wfll try 4to pass
a truck on a hill, a young couple will
,. hurtle, off, a' curve on the. way to a
dance, ah old woman will become con
fused crossing a street and the mil
lionth traffic victim will pass un
heralded into a dusty police file.
. But even though the actual identity
, of the millionth victim will remain a
mystery, the Council has. made Diana
which avUI enable it to name the fate-
on,'
Report Given On.
Pig Demonstration' ' t ,
, You can believe only half : of the
you read in -the papers and
less .than half the things you hear,
so goes the old adage. Roy Chappell
of- Route 1, Hertford, had heard and
read about the ' new wonder drug
Auromiein being used in feed for
hogs and the results obtained. He
decided to' get the facta for himself.
With the assistance of J. K. But
ler,. Animal Husbandry Extension
Specialist, and the local County
Agent, he set up two feed lots by di
viding a ladino clover pasture and di
vided two litters of pigs so that some
of, both litters were in each feed lot.
All were fed the same from self feed
ers except that the pigs in one, lot
received a small amount of auromi
ein in their protein supplement. The
demonstration was in : progress 84
days during, which time the pigs re
ceiving the auromiein made an av
erage gain of 149.3 pounds at a cost
of $12.60 per hundred pounds. The
pigs on the other side bf the fence
made an average gain of 130.5 pounds
at a cost of $13.30 per hundred
pounds. . This is a saving of 70 cents
per hundred pounds of gain. :
I These figures were based on .corn
at $2.00 per bushel-and protein sup
plement at $6.34 per hundred. Clar
ence Chappell, Jr., of Belvidere, a
4-H Club members, is running a aim
ilar test with younger pigs. Records
on his demonstration are not complete
at this time. ; " -
. P T I advent of the automobile. These bulle-
t - J tins .also will forecast the probable
&r I date -of Alp millionth fatality.,' y
"Opr only purpose in trying to iden
tify such a. grim date in history is to
dramatize the horror of such, a huge
traffic toll,' Said !-Ne4 H Dearborn,
Council president. "Perhaps 1,000,000

all our wars will crack the apathy of
a nation whieh'can see 85,000 persons
killed by auto in-a year without much
concent. " i" . '
"It has taken a little more than 50
years to kill the first million. If traf
fic .deaths continue . at the present
fate, it will take only 30 years to kill
the second million. We can only hope
ihat this terrible day of seven-figure
reckoning will become a safety mile
stonenot just another gravestone
on the road to more responsioie use
of the automobile. , ' . " ,'
; The Council, which makes regular
cumulative tabulations of traffic
deaths, said that even its elaborate
nationwide reporting system is not
fast enough to give up-to-the-minute
totals. Furthermore, vital statistics
were not recorded completely by all
be turned on the. tragedy of a nation
which Permits jnptcjr jnadpess to go
ful day "as a climax to an intensive the states in earlier years after the
Bjue unvuig ! campaign m.wmcnaii
.safety organizations' are cooperating.
, The Council 'announced it is setting
up the machinery to supplement its
Tegular monthly reports with special
weekly summaries from the1 states.
On November 15, the Council will-begin
issuing weekly, bulletins on the
grand total of traffic deaths since the
turn' of the century, eo that motor
vehicle death totals for some years
are estimates based on the best avail
able information, i,
Thus any attempt to identify the
actual millionth victim, Mr. Dearborn
said, would place the spotlight of no
toriety arbitrarily on the tragedy of
one family when "the spotlight snouia
