Safety council members cite automobile deaths recorded over a four week period in urging a drive against accidental deaths.
Atlanta, Ga. - When six hundred and fifty-six persons are killed in four weeks in automobile accidents in United States cities and on highways near cities, it is time for more drastic measures to be taken to safeguard human life, it was pointed out here today by members of the Atlanta Safety Council.
The National Safety Council, advices just received here state, thinks the time has arrived for a nationwide drive to protect men, women and children on the streets, highways in public places and elsewhere so as "to conserve the Nation's greatest resources."
During the four week period just closed, according to figures made public here, deaths from automobile accidents over the country reached a total of 656, the greatest number recorded during any other four weeks period this year.
To these motoring fatalities must be added, safety council members here said, the many who were killed in railway disasters, mine blasts and in fires, to reach the total of accidental deaths in this country, and when all is told the result is sufficient to amply justify the National Saftey Council, it is claimed here, in urging a nation-wide effort to halt the epidemic of accidental deaths.
The chief cause of most of the country's accidental death toll is carelessness, it was asserted here. It is found in motoring to a greater extent than in other activities because motorists do not seem to realize the need for self preservation, it was furthe rstated.
