Light Heads and Heavy Feet Cause Many Accidents Light heads and heavy feet seem to be the principal causes for Nebraska's alarming increase in traffic deaths. Horace E. Crosby, President of the Nebraska State Safety Coun cil, stated today that the death toll in Nebraska nearly equals last year's toll for the same pe riod. As of April 7, Nebraska had 36 fatalities as compared to 45 for the same period last year. "This, contrasted with the fact that at the end of January Nebraska had reduced its traffic fatality experience by 72 per cent, is cause for real alarm," Crosby said. Tf is hard to out the finger on the exact cause of so many traf fic deaths. Perhaps it is because ..ra Hrivors have a lieht head and a heavy foot on the accelerator in this spring weather and on the first dry roads we nave seen in months," he continued. "That feeling of self-satisfaction which comes with perfect rnnriitions and pleasant driving weather sometimes lulls us into a false sense of security, ran be as fatal as taking poison. Don't allow your watch fulness to decrease even iur x moment while walking or driv ing." Crosby concluded. BIRTHS Son Born to Mr. and- Mrs. Robert Wall, Greenwood, a son, Wed nesday, April 12.
