THE CLINTON CHRONICLE f, IMt New Year's Holiday Road Toll Is 295 The New Year’s holiday week end coat the nation at least 361 accident deaths—295 of them on streets and highways. The traffic death toll was sub stantially less than that of Christ mas week-end a week earlier when 392 were killed by motor vehicles. However, the Christ mas traffic deaths and the over all toll of 515 accident fatalities both set records for a two-day holiday period. The 295 lives lost in traffic last week-end also far exceeded an estimate by the National Safety Council which said before the holiday cars would kill 240. Commenting on the combined cost of 687 dead in traffic mis haps during the two 54-hour holi day periods, Ned H. Dearborn, Safety Council president, said it was “enough to make every de cent American citizen sick at heart” Dearborn said the deaths were caused by “relatively few people who are reckless, heedless, ir responsible, incompetent, selfish, or all of these.” Wa Do All Kinds of Printing ——Except Bad CHRONICLE PUBLISHING CO.
