This prediction came today from the Nebraska State Safety Council. It is based on the acci dent experience of the past two summers and the present rate of reduction for the first four months of 1948. During those months in 1946, 116 persons were killed in traf fic accidents. In 1947, 153 per sons lost their lives during the vacation months. At the present rate of reduction of 30 percent, this will mean that 94 persons are destined to pay the price of carelessness, lack of courtesy and impatience on our highways and streets. As of June 3, with sightly ov er one month completed 31 fa talities are already recorded. During 1947, of the 153 persons who lost their lives in Nebraska, 34 or 22 percent were foreign motorists. This will mean that during the coming summer at least 21 persons who die will have been guests in the state. "We are calling upon the driv ers in Nebraska to use extreme caution during the coming vaca tion months. Exercise patience, courtesy, good defensive driving tactics and you will stay out of trouble. Let's all cooperate to keep the "wreck" out of our summer recreation," E. P. Tink er, Jr., Executive Director of the Council, stated in conclusion of his report. cd sections of the country, offer ing a variety of courses.
