the official prediction — which
is seldom far off — should "serve
as a challenge to all Texans to
make a concerted effort to stem
the tide of highway tradgedy
next weekend.’’
He pointed out that during the
Labor Day weekend last year
there were 30 traffic deaths, one
more than the Department had
predicted. He noted, however,
that the forecast for the 1959
Fourth of July holiday — 26 fa-
talities — turned out to be ac-
curate.
"We would like to make a
special appeal to the citizens of
Texas to consider the facts about
holiday driving and do their ut-
most to reduce the tragedy of
death, suffering and economic
loss next weekend,” Garrison
said.
“Department of Public Safety
patrolmen and all other law en-
forcement officers in our State-
will do everything in their power
to make the streets and highways
safer by removing lawless driv-
ers -- but the statistics prove
the main job is up to the indi-
vidual behind the wheel.”
He cited the following facts
and figures on last Labor Day
weekend, compiled by N. K.
Woerner, Manager of Statistical
Services:

State, 26 occurred in iural areas
