The 1954 toll for the same period was 79. Twelve persons were killed and 32 injured in 449 traffic accidents February 13-19, bringing this year’s total to 80. Thus, the 1955 traffic death toll, which a tone time promised to set a new safety record, grows larger. In the early weeks of the year, traffic deaths were reduced more than half over last year’s toll. In the past month, howev er, the gap has slowly closed and now surpasses the 1954 number. Three weeks ago this year's toll was four deaths less than 1954— last week’s report found the re duction down to three In this week’s report the total is one above 1954. Chief Highway Commissioner Claude R. McMillan said that he, along with all other safety con scious people, viewed the change in the safety improvement rec ord with disappointment. “It is more urgent than ever to keep the safe driving principles of courtesy, caution and obedience of the traffic laws in mind every time we drive on the highway. Every motorist should be deter mined to reverse the current up ward trend. It can be done if everyone will bear his part of the responsibility." I Gray Funeral Home C linton, S.
