MEMORIAL DAY
May 30 is the most beautiful and sacred of our national
holidays. It is a day of dignified addresses, exercises,
parades and military salutes as well as strewing flowers
on the graves of soldiers.
Originating from the custom of bereaved Southern
women of setting aside one day a year in which they laid
flowers o nthe graves of the soldiers who had lost their
lives in the Civil war, Memorial Day was decreed a holi
day in 1868 by the commander of the Grand Army of the
Republic. In most states it is a legal holiday, set aside to
do nonor not only to those who gave their lives in the Civi
war, but in the Spanish-American and World wars as
well.
Most of the northern states celebrate May 30 as Memor
ial Day. In Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Georgia
April 26 is observed. May 10 is set aside in North anc
South Carolina.
Since 1919, Memorial Day has acquired an internation
al significance. It is now observed in England and France
wherever American soldiers are buried.
The purpose of the day has enlarged from its first in
auguration until it is now no longer a day for merely lay
ing flowers on the graves of soldiers, but has become an
occasion for personal and family commemoration as well.
Wherever Memorial Day is observed, people pause each
year to do honor to the memory of loved ones.
THE DEADLY AUTOMOBILE
)
-------
The cost to the people of the United States of auto
mobile accidents in 1929 was more than $850,000,000, ac
cording to the chairman of the traffic statistics of the Nat
ional Street and Highway Safety Conference. Mr. J. H.
Parmalee, whose authority we quote, states that 33,060
persons were killed in motor accidents last year, an in
crease of 8 per cent over 1928 and nearly double the num
ber of deaths from that cause in 1920.
And
so far in 1930 the rate of fatilities is increasing.
These fatal accidents are not a peculiarity of any par
ticular section or of any class or size of community. Or
the whole, there are fewer of them in the large cities than
in the country districts, in proportion to population. The
temptation to careless driving when out of sight of a traf-
fic policeman, with no signal lights to be obeyed, is much
greater than in crowded traffic, as every motorist knows.
Statistics compiled by the Nebraska State Press Assc
ciation for 1929 show that in that state, where populatior
is less concentrated than in almost all of the rest of th<
states and there are only two or three really large popula
tion centers, there were 378 motor fatalities last year, be
sides 123 persons disabled, in 3,636 automobile accidents
Every victim of a motor accident is a victim of some
body’s carelessness. Out of the total number of accident5
in Nebraska last year by far the most were collissions be
tween two cars. There is never any possible reason foi
a collission except carelessness on the part of one drive?
or both. Sixty-three
of the dead in Nebraska were pedes
V'
trians, struck by cars. Thirty-nine deaths of motorists try
ing to beat a train across a railroad crossing. Twenty-sb
were killed while speeding. Twenty-four died in skidd
ing accidents. Twelve deaths resulted from trying to pas?
another car, without swinging wide enough. Blinding
headlights forced 127 cars off the road, killing ten per
sons. Twelve were killed by reckless driving.
The remedy of this increasing toll of death on th<
highway is partly in improving the roads, eliminatinp
blind curves and dangerous crossings, but mainly in a clos
er supervision of licenses to drivers. Today in a few state-
children, mental incompetents and irresponsible person.1
are forbidden to endanger the lives of other by driving
cars. In most states, however, anybody may commit man
slaughter by this means without restraint.
