Archer County News--Thursday, August 31, 1972
Labor Day
Deaths Predicted
Approximately 48 persons
are expected to die on Texas
streets and highways over the
Labor Day weekend, according
to estimates by the Texas De-
partment of Public Safety.
-i.
tion MotorcWe irorn 6:00 p.m.
Friday through midnight Sept.
4. This will be one of four
78-hour holiday periods that
will be critical for all motor-
ists.
Major C. W. Bell, DPS Re-
gion 5 Commander said that
all available uniformed patrol-
men will be put into action for
maximum enforcement of traf-
fic laws. Major Bell said, “Each
driver should drive defen-
sively at all times.” Major
Bell suggested that each indivi-
dual practice driving friendly -
the Texas way!
DPS records show that the
majority of traffic fatalities are
caused by excessive speed and
the drinking driver. The DPS
reminds the motoring public
that 0.10% blood alcohol in one’s
body is the presumptive level
of legal intoxication under Tex-
as law.
Approximately 500 National
Guardsmen will assist the
uniformed patrolmen in the Dal-
las, Tyler, Houston, Corpus
Christi, San Antonio, and Aus-
tin areas. Many of these guards-
men will be riding in DPS pa-
trol cars through the Labor Day
weekend to enable the Depart-
ment to have more units and
personnel on the road.
Motor Vehicle Inspection
Sergeant John Mason of Region
5 said two per cent of all fatal
accidents on Texas highways
are caused by mechanical fail-
ures. He strongly urges all
motorists to be certain that
their inspection sticker is up
to date.
Capt. Shelton of the Driver
License Service warns the un-
licensed driver to not jeopar-
dize his life, because last year
seven per cent of all 3594
Texas traffic fatalities involved
the unlicensed driver!
It is the fervent hope of the
DPS that Texans, and out of
state motorists, will enjoy this
American tradition of cele-
brating the Labor Day weekend
in a sensible, safe manner.
Let’s prove the statisticians
wrong by keeping the actual
death count way below the es-
timated 48 lives predicted tobe
lost. This responsibility is in
the hands of those behind the
wheel.
Below is a list of rules to
drive by, in order to celebrate
Labor Day next year.
1. Don’t mix gasoline with
alcohol.
2. Use seat belts. Your
chances of survival in a major
accidents are five times great-
er when you are buckled up.
3. Slow down, drive according
to the traffic, weather, vehicle
condition, and your own physi-
cal condition.
4. Obey all traffic laws. They
were ordained by Texans to keep
the Texas motorist safe and
alive for all times!
If this weekend is accident
free, then we’ll all celebrate
Labor Day in ’73.
Two Wildlife
Refuges Open
To Bowhunting
Two national wildlife refuges
will be open to bowhunting this
year - the Aransas National
Wildlife Refuge and the Laguna
Atascosa National Wildlife Re-
fuge.
Bowhunters will be allowed
on the Aransas Refuge, located
35 miles north of Rockport,
Sept. 21-25. Sept. 29 - Oct.
2 and Oct. 6-9.
The refuge will be open from
5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. on those
days except on Sept. 21, the
first day, when it will be open at
noon.
Archers may kill one deer
of either sex, on javelina and
as many of the feral hogs as
they can find.
The hunt is open to all arch-
ers, the only requirements
being a valid state hunting li-
cense and payment of the re-
fuge’s daily entrance fee of $1
per car.
The Laguna Atascosa hunts
will be Oct. 6-8, 13-15, 20-22
and 27-29. Gates will open at

Atascosa Refuge, located 20

deer, either sex, per hunter.
No other form of wildlife may
be hunted.
Hunters on both refuges are
expected to know and obey state

either refuge.
