ward which the national as a
whole is striving.

Men Versus Women Drivers
Provokes Much Discussion
By NED DEARBORN
President,
National Safety Council
Written for
United Press International
Chicago-(UPD-If your home
is like mine, there are times
when the subject of men
versus women drivers comes
up for what may wife and I
like to call friendly discus
sion. 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

Floyd, 500 Fifth street, Phoe
nix, following their return

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!
