A Call To Arms
For A Safer
North Carolina
Editor's Note;. The article below
was written by Mrs. E. W. Griffin,
Chairmen of Safety of the State Federation
of Woman's Clubs, and published
in the January issue of The
North Carolina Clubwoman. This article
is very appropriate at this time
as this week is National Highway
Safety Week.
Another vohi- lias passed "and the
death toll from accidents continues
to mount steadily in our state. Can
we boast in sons and story of a love
for our native lahd and yet sit Inert
while Dl'Oeious liven n re nr., .SUael .
sacrificed momentarily? Yes, literally
speaking, momentarily is right.
One Injury every three seconds, on?
death every "five minutes, >120 lost
in property value eVery second and
an immeasurable amount of pain
and sorrow following in the wake.
This is Indeed a call to arms to
every citizen! Let none fail to heed
the" call. Let every community
arouse Its people to co-operatlvb action
to the end that no city, town, or
village in our state may fall to do
battle in its full strength against
this menace, that takes, in one year,
a toll in -human life greater than two
world wars.
In urging people to enroll "in thfs
war on accidents, .one Is, after all.
only urging them to act upon the
first law of nature, that of self-preservation.
Statistics show that one
person out of every twenty Is destined
to suffer injury or death by accident.
Thus we know that, if not we
ourselves, certainly someone very
near and dear to us, must soon become
a victim. Can we fall to be
aroused to action when facing such
a certainty? - ' It
is not enough that we have club
programs on Safety, although these
are timely and commendable. The
time has come for action. Set up a '. i
Safety Committee in your club. Urge
Other organizations in your town Into
a Town Safety Council afflltatei
with the National Safety Council.
Tills organization should have an
Executive Committee composed of
the president, vice-president, ' secretary
and treasurer, and one member
from each working committee. There
should be at least five working com- mittces:
Statistics, Traffic, Public
Education. Child Safely nnd Enforce
nient.
Further information to be used by
this o ganizatir n may be had by
writing to Natiohal Safety Council,
tin N. W'acker Drive, Chicago, Illinois.
,'i
Also, see 'Hint your town is enrolled
in the National Safety Contest iu
-which 1 "no cities look part last "'' ;
year. T'-is is an excellent incentive
in-outni which to build a sound accident
j. event ion program in your
community. Entry in this contest
involves 110 charges or fees. Further
information may be had from the
above address. .
if every city and town in North
Carolina Is instrumental in preventing
cue fatal nccidet each, that
alone will mean more .than many , .
hundred deaths less In our state than
last year. Can any town withhold
Its help toward accomplishing sucn
an objective as this and at the game
time feel justified in expecting the
lives of its people to be spared
