During the first half of 1936, 609 persons were hurt, ?74 more than in the same six months of last year. The tremendous increase fn acci dents and fatalities last month was apparently largely the result of reck lessness due to liquor. In other words, there were 27 accidents attributed to that cause last month as compared with seven in the same period last year. However, there were only 88 accidents attributed to recklessness due to liquor in the first six months of this year, as compared with 100 in the same period of 1935. Reckless driving caused 32 of the accidents last month and 27 were the result of careless driving. The other causes ranged from defective lights to “drivers asleep.” , The number of pedestrians killed last month was exactly twice the to tal killed in the same perio<l of 1935. Eight were killed last month as com pared with four in June of last year. called by -the congregation January 13, 1901. In his ietfer to his congregation.
