Lawson, of Roa noke, Va., discussing motor traffic deaths in the United States in 1952. TWe figures given are very inter esting, and their publication here Many cause some of the speeders and reckless drivers to think when they get behind the wheel on. the open highway. THE AVERAGE number of mo tor traffic deaths per HKkftOO.OOQ ve hicle miles traveled is 7.3 in the United States. In Rhode Island it is 2.4 and in Connecticut, 3. The highest in any state in the north eastern and New England states is 5.5 in New York. EVERY STATE south of the Mason and Dixoiv line, including the southwest is higher than any of the above states. The traffic deaths range from G.t» in Maryland to 12.8 in South Carolina. Only our state and New Mexico (10.8) are above 10. Texas is only C.7. WE ARE NOT trying to solve the problem, only giving the figures. But doesn’t this look as if some radical change is needed in our traffit regulations or speed laws? It is a matter that should give us grave concern.
