ACCIDENT RECORD
POLICE HOLD COLLEGE DEGREES
An accident survey for the state
of Nebraska has been compiled by
the Nebraska Press association giv
ing a comparison of the week end
ing July 9 and the week ending
July 2.
During the week ending July 9,
which included the celebration of
July 4, there were 555 accidents,
while during the preceding week
there were 398. Of the accidents in
the week ending July 9, 354 were
injured, 7 disabled and there were
19 deaths. In the preceding week,
323 were injured, 4 disabled and 14
were killed.
According to press reports, the
holiday death toll throughout the
nation was 358 persons. Of the 19
who lost their lives during the week
in Nebraska the records show that
six died on July 4. Two drowned on
the holiday; two were killed in auto
mobile accidents; while a fifth lost
her life in a runaway on a farm. An
other was electrocuted while making)
some repairs in connection with his i
furnace. It appears that only fourj
of the deaths from accidents occurred j
as the result of holiday activities.
