During the last two weeks there
were 44 persons disabled which
brings the total since Janutry 1, 1930

During State Safety Week acci
dents were reduced 26% but now they

mal rate. Motor vehicle accidents and
casualties are more than normal. The
number of persons injured by acci
dents due to excessive speed jnmped

striking pedestrians and railroad
crossing accidents accounted for 12 of
the 14 deaths.

markers increased tremendously.
Persons injured by accidents due to
cars passing increased from 17 to 31.
A study of types of accidents in

closes that: there was one truck in 16
lost control accidents; 1 truck in 25
speed accidents; 1 truck in 17 struck
obstruction accidents; 1 truck in 23
struck pedestrian accidents; 1 truck
in 5 railroad crossing accidents; 3

During the last two weeks there
were 34 persons disabled which brings
the total since January 1, 1930 to 378.
Eleven children were injured by
falls from horses and 45 other child
ren suffered fractures while at school
or play. Twenty-one ether boys re*
ceived fractures and sprains while
playing football.
Farm animals injured 28, disabled
4 and killed 4, while farm machin
ery injured 15 and disabled 8; 6 other
farmers were impaled or lacerated by
pitchforks.
In the home, cuts and abrasions in
jured 32, falls injured 21 children, 30
adults and killed 4 adults. Power
machinery in the home injured 8.
Burns and scalds resulted in 17 injur
ies and 4 deaths, most of these were
carelesness with oil and gasoline.
Two children were poisoned, 3 drown
ed in tanks and one strangled.
At a season of year when motor ve
hicle accidents should decline, we
seem to suddenly have developed a
mania for accidents by direct law
violations. Most flagrant causes of
the 277 motor vehicle accidents which
have within two weeks killed 29, dis
abled 13 and caused injury to 389
other persons are:
Intoxicated drivers, 7; blowouts 10;
loose gravel 18; blinding and defec
tive lights 18; 12 railroad crossing
accidents injuring 20 and killing 9
persons; excessive speed and passing
highway markers 47; trucks were in
volved in 44 out of the 277 accidents.
Trucks participated in 6 of the 18 ac
cidents responsible for the 29 motor
vehicle deaths.
The wilful consistent traffic law
violater is a potential murderer, not
susceptive to safety education and
subject to control only by drastic
traffic law enforcement.
Is Nebraska to submit to traffic
murders at the rate of 2 a day as
peacefully as we have submitted to
terrorization by bank bandits for lack
of an enforeement personell?
