Protect the Living

Honor the dead, but protect the living! The National Safety Council thus called on all drivers and pedestrians today to unite in a concerted effort to hold down what threatens to be the greatest Memorial Day traffic toll in the nation's history. On the basis of information now available for the first time, the Council predicts that 400 persons-an all-time high-will meet death in the holiday traffic jam unless every driver and every pedestrian accepts a personal responsibility to use more skill and caution than in previous years. Last year, the Council reported, 100 persons were killed in Memorial Day traffic, with only a one-day holiday. This year there will be a three-day holiday, since Memorial Day falls on Friday. Furthermore, the national traffic toll is running 16 per cent ahead of last year. "It is ironic," said Col. John Stilwell, president of the Council, "that even as America honors its dead on Memorial Day, it piles up a huge toll of dead and injured through traffic crashes. The soldier heroes whose graves we visit gave their lives for a cause, but the hundreds who are killed in holiday traffic die needlessly." The Council offers this suggestion for holiday safety: start early, take it easy, play it safe!
