My wife amiably points out to me that the National Safety council's own figures show that male drivers are much more likely to be involved in traffic accidents than lady drivers. And she smirks as she points it out. I, in turn, call her atten tion in a mild manner to the fact that the National Safety council also says that the traf fic record of male drivers is improving, while the rates for the lovely ladies have been getting worse. You can't find a surer way to enliven a dull evening around the house than to get into a discussion like this! Neither Positive Actually, neither my wife nor I can get too positive in our comments, for the simple reason that nobody knows just how many miles men drive or women drive. So any comparisions on the number of accidents each sex has are bound to be inconclusive. Our statisticians at the Na tional Safety Council estimate that there were about 57 mil lion male drivers and 23 mil lion female drivers on the road in the United States in 1957. Of these, 41,300 male driv ers and 5,200 female drivers were involved in fatal traffic accidents. On the basis of the number of fatal accidents per 100,000 drivers, this gave the male drivers a rate of 72 and the lady drivers a rate of 23. But, how much more driv ing did the men do than the women? We don't know. We do know that male'driv ers average considerably more miles than women drivers even though the ladies seem to get most of the parking spaces! Nearly all commercial ve hicles are driven by men -frequently 20,000 miles or more each year. And even the family passenger car is more frequently driven on long trips by men than by women, even though the housewife Reception Honors . Newlyweds Phoenix - Mr. and Mrs. Bradley were honored at a reception September 14 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Floyd, 500 Fifth street, Phoe nix, following their return from Reno, Nevada, where they were married August 30. Mrs. Bradley is the former Jean Floyd, daughter of the Earl Floyds. Mr. Bradley is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Bradley, 118 Stage Road south, Medford. The Rev. Raymond Walters officiated at the afternoon wedding held at the Park Wedding chapel. White flow ers decorated the chapel and pink bows marked the pew ends. The bride wore a sky blue suit with white accessories and had white flowers in her hair. . Prior to the reception a shower was held for the cou ple given by Mrs. Ernest Ever don and Mrs. Dora Lewis at the Lewis home in Phoenix. Attending were Mrs. Virgil Bradley, Mrs. Earl Floyd, Mrs. Tom Mitchell, Mrs. Peter Seitzinger, Mrs. Roy Clack, Mrs. Edward Johnston, Miss Mary Ellen Mitchell, the host esses and the honored guests. Decorating Group To Meet Thursday The interior decorating study group of American As sociation of University Women will hold its first meeting Thursday, October 9, at the home of Mrs. William Mc Laren, 70 Fair Oaks drive. Mrs. LeRoy Smith will be as sistant hostess. Dessert will be served at 7:30 p.m. with the meeting scheduled for 8 p.m. The program topic for the first meeting is "Proportion" with Mrs.. Wallace Robinson in charged Other topics to be tUiUl, XlUJiikUlWj A UUlJi shopping expeditions. , My own feeling is that while women may not be better drivers than men, they are less inclined to show off be hind the wheel, and therefore may be safer drivers. And that is a good place for me to stop!
