These lucky Americans would have died vio lently, along with 90,000 of their fellow citizens, if accidental deaths had not dropped 5 per cent from the year before. The death rate" in 1954 w?as 55.8 per 100,000 persons a . 7 per cent decrease from the 1953 rate and the lowest rate on rec ord. This decrease in accidental deaths occurred despite an in crease in population, high em ployment and booming motor vehicle travel, according to the 1955 edition of "Accident Facts," the National Safety Council's statistical yearbook, which is just off the press. The greastest reductions were in industry, which achieved a 7 per cent reduction in fatal accidents, and in motor vehicle deaths, which dropped 6 per cent. Home deaths were down 5 per cent and public (non motor vehicle) deaths showed a 3 per cent reduction. Court House County court: Milton B. Kallhoff, Elgin, Nebr., $15 and $4 costs, speed ing.
