1-MINUTE SAFETY TALKS
By Don Herold
'We'll
if you
don't
watch
out"
MtD, AD ROJfTKS
Look out for September, October,
November and December.
They're bad babies.
They're out to kill.
They're worse than any other four
months of the year, automobile-acci-cWntly
speaking;. They're 40 percent
worse, for example, than January,
February, March and April.
The thing that amazes me about this
whole automobile business is that we
know so much about it, and do so little
to stop it. 1 have been reading some
lifrurea gathered by The Travelers
Insurance Company, and they foresee
15,000 deaths and 400,000 injuries for
(he last four months of this year.
Starting Labor Day, we'll begin the big
carnage.
In 1934, there were 14,094 automo
bile accident deaths in the last four
months, against 10,088 in the first four
months, and 11,818 in the second four.
Why is practically this same ratio
true every year? because darkness
arrives earlier every evening, because
the streets are wetter and slicker, be
cause we still have summer driving
habits, and because we ate in more of a
holiday spirit.
What to do about it? Be 40 percent
more careful in the months that are
KNOWN to be 40 percent more dan
gerous. Cooperate with the police in
their safety efforts. When you get a
ticket, take your medicine, don't try
to get it fixed.
Be scared instead of eorksure when
you drive a car in September. October,
November and December.
