For Big Effort

Governor Price Daniel Saturday
cnlled lor ”un all out clfort to saw
lives on the lean* streets amt
highways during the Labor Day
weekend in the light of a 6 per cent
1 increase in trs.fir deaths (or the
first half of the year
“I am asking all of Texas—the
law enforcement agencies, the civ-
ic organizations, the traffic safety
councils, but most important of
all, the drivers—to help in this
most important of all Texas ef-
forts. the saving of human life,"
the Governor said
"After looking over the statisti-
cal reports from the Department
of Public Safety, there is only one
conclusion; "The slaughter on our
streits anil highways should In-
st op ped.”
The Governor referred to the
DPS report for the first six mon-
ths which showed 1.097 Texas tra-
ffic deaths for 1959 as compared
with 1,032 for the same period a
year ago.
Total number of crashes increas-
ed from 134.000 to 161 (100 injuries
increased from 56,000 to 66,000 ec-
onomic loss jumped from 154.000.-
000 to 179,00. during the sunn-
period.
"Percentagewise,” Governor Da-
niil continued, "talfic deaths were
up 6 per cent, fatal crashes wero
up 9 per cent, number of persons
hurt increased 2 per cent, numb-
er of crashes jumped 23 per cent,
the number of cars wrecked in-
creased by 21 per cent, estimated
economic loss jumped by 21 per I
cent, and the estimated miles tra-
veled rose 5 per cent
As I see it, these figuris show
that the chances for being injur
ed in Texas traffic are considera-
bly greater than last year, so all
drivers obviously need to be a-
ware of this.”
