Acme Dry Cleaners 1728 North Riverside Phone 4263 Jack Thurman, Owner GETS BLAME FOR AUTO ACCIDENTS Austin. Tex. OI.R) The mil reason for a nation-wide increase in traffic accidents which has followed the end of the war Is that you and all the other people who nursed the old family bus through the war years have forgotten how to drive. Take it from Col. Homer Gar rison, director of the Texas De partment of Highway Snfcty. He says you've lost a lot of traffic Judgment and that your driving has deteriorated just like your prewar car. Lost Speed Judgment Garrison and his staff, study ing a 54 per cent Increase in highway deaths, Injuries and accident damage which follow ed the end of gasoline rationing, say that bad tires, bad brakes and wornout, war-weary cars aren't the major cause. "The real blame should be placed on the postwar driver." said Col. Garrison. "Most driv ers spent the war driving around in circles in their home town. They drove slow, because they had to, and they've forgotten llow to Judge speeds, how to tell how soon an approaching car will reach you, and how to handle a car at high speed on the highway." Two new menaces have been added to postwar highways and they're partly responsible for the booming American traffic death rate, according to the Texas experts. Little Chance to Learn These are returning service men who haven't been behind the wheel of a passenger car for years and youngsters who grew up during the war and didn't learn to drive like their big brothers and sisters did be cause Daddy couldn't spare the gasoline or the tires during rationing. "These youngsters learned what little they know about driving on city streets." said Garrison. "They don't know a thing about open highway driv ing. Couple them with wornout cars, poor tires and bad brakes and you've got trouble." Garrison says next summer will see the postwar trnffic toll at its peak. There will be full tanks of gas to go with those flapping retreads and the safest place will be home until people get new cars and learn how to handle them.
