Stop This 'Home-Front' Slaughter
Elsewhere in this issue, under the "B y lin e ” of C liffo rd Rowe, jo u r
nalism professor at Pacific U n iv e rs ity , Forest Grove, appears a mes
sage of "good sense” w hich is not lik e ly to be heeded this com ing
week-end by m any people. The num ber of tra ffic deaths may reach
m ore than 500 it the predictors are anyw here accurate this year.
Newspap<*is and magazines lam ent how m any casualties have
resulted from the Korean W ar, and from W orld W a r 2, but not one
paragraph is devoted to the k illin g w hich goes on rig h t at home, and
no one is fig h tin g anyone els«* p a rtic u la rly .
The P ilo t does not have the figures im m ediately available to prove
th a t each year, at home, m ind you, the old autom obile is the w o rld ’s
greatest k ille r claim ing m ore casualties than disease and war.
W hat w ill the people of this area, this state, and section do?
The P ilot does not like the job of publishing obituaries w hich come
fro m accidents, and especially highw ay accidents w hich take not only
the u n fo rtu n a te ones, but leaves an a fte rm a th in one o r more homes.
Please, fo r y o u r own sake, be careful this J u ly F o u rth ! Let the
news be in next issue that of y o u r v is itin g relatives, not obituaries.

How m any o f the P ilot readers
w ill be involved in some sort of
traffic accident over the long J u ly
F o u rth W eek-end? Associated and
U nited Press broadcasts are pre
d ic tin g how many Am ericans w ill
lx* slaughtered between now and
next Monday. It is amazing the
gig a n tic figure w hich h a s b«x*n
made by both, and how closely
the tw o d iffe re n t news agencies
are on the total.
W hy can't people, behind the
hood of a p o w e rfu l car, slow to
\a decent pace, le t people pass if
they wish, and not tr y to break
speed records on the highw ays?
' W ill not people use a lit t le com
mon sense w hile d riv in g ? W hy do
i no many wish to pass on a curve
I when they can't see fa r ahead?
Y outh and tru c k drive rs have
been accused of being the w orst
offenders. To th is I wish to o ffe r
a protest, and disagree. In w hat
d riv in g I do, whicTi w ould not
w ear out a car in a year, I have
noted th a t alm ost w ith o u t excep
tion, tru c k d rive rs are about the
most courteous, and considerate
on the road. I have been motion«'«!
to pass, when the tru c k has been
approaching a curve or top of
a h ill.
Elsewhere in this issue te lls of
a tru c k d riv e r who alm ost k ille d
him self, and w recked his tru c k a ll
because tw o cars trie d to pass him
am i he trie d to keep fro m h ittin g
a th ird . Youth may be daring, but
I have noticed th a t youth have
q u icke r and b e tte r reflexes, and
make fe w e r d riv in g m istakes than
many elders. I 'l l a d m it some of
the youth are reckless, but also,
some adults are reckless.
