Indications are that 39,000 peo
ple will die as the result of traf
fic accidents £n the country this
year and over a million will be
injured judging by the toll for
the first six months.

annually lin the same general pat
tern, the 15,750 traffic deaths in
the first six months of 1946 in
dicate that we will experience
a new high in highway horror.
When the previous high in
traffic deaths was set in 1941,
almost 93 per cent of the vehicles
involved in fatal accidents were
in apparently good condition. By
1945 the number of vehicle defects
contributing to accident cause had
risen to 18 per cent of all traf-

seven years old. According to a
nation-wide check of some 3,000,-
000 automobiles just completed by
the International Association of
Chiefs of Police, almost a third
of these cars are being driven
with obvious and dangerous me
chanical defects.
According to the National Safe
ty Council, from V-J day to the
end of 1945, traffic deaths rose
3 per cent, compared with the
same period in 1944, and that in
creased trend of accidents car
ried over into. this year.
The president’s highway safety
conference declared that: “One of
the most positive challenges to
public action in the United States
today is the need to reduce traf
fic accidents. With the increas
ing use of b. ghways in the years
ahead the problem will be magni
fied.”
This is confirmed by studies of
the National Safety Council which
indicates that nearly 500,000 peo
ple will be killed in automobile
accidents in the United States in
the next 10 years—and more than
that unless accident prevention
efforts keep pace with the in
crease in travel.

Then argue for a few weeks before they start.
You know, the missus wants the beach, the old man wants
to go fishing in the mountains. They finaly wind up by going
to the beach, and nobody has any fun.
Now with me, my missus says I been going to the dogs for
years—why dont you keep on doing it? So I did and she went
along. We both had fun.
Maybe a few firends have noticed I been closed this week
for a little cleaning and paint busines.
Funny way I run a business—always want to keep a clean
place and good food and service for my friends. Fact is, I
am not decorating my place to attract strangers.
I figure if I can satisfy and hold my friends, they will
bring some rtrangers with them, and the gang here will make
friends of ’em.
The only credit I can ever take, if I should ever succeed
in business, is that I have the ability to get a gang working
for me that will bling in the business.
We will try to open Friday nite, Aug. 23d. We’ll all wash
up, put some powder and paint on. and be ready to give you
some -good food and drinks, and as little service as possible.
