N. C. Motorists
Urged To Drive
With Care
Memorial Day could become
a memorable day on North Caro
lina's streets and highways If the
trend isn't reversed from the
recent Easter holiday period,
warns the N.C. State Motor
Club, which estimates that at
least 28 persons will be killed
in more than a thousand traffic
accidents during the long week
end. . 1 ,. .
Since some offices will be
closed on Frday, the state will
count its highway toll from 6 p. m.
Wednesday, May 29 through mid-
nWTnwaayV June 2, a pertoUPtg,
or iuz nours. a similar period
last year claimed 30 lives and
brought injuries to 645 persons
In 1,032 accidents.
The three-day Easter week
end toll In April this year soared
to a new high for all state holiday
periods as highways deaths
climbed to 41, eight more than
the previous high.
Fourteen of the 30 traffic
deaths counted last Memorial
Day were recorded on Saturday,
Leading driver violations were:
speeding, 207; failure to yield
right of way, 138; driving left
of center, 121; and following too
closely, 98. . ,;; ; ,
Thomas B. Watkins, motor
club-, president, called upon
motorists to make an all-out
effort to stem the rising highway
slaughter.
"We are alarmed and deeply
Concerned that highway fatalities
are now running well ahead of
last year's, pace," he said. "An
unusually large number of multi
ple-death accidents have exacted
a high price. Weekends are the
most dangerous time on our
highways,, with the most lives
lost on Saturdays, followed by
Sundays, and Fridays. An ex
Memorial Day that much more
dangerous, so please drive care
fully and help reverse this
trend."
