THE DEATH LOIIfcRY
Last year, in an American city of
something over 1,000,000 population,
traffic deaths averaged approximately
li\e per day. During the early part
of January this year, deaths in the
same city caused by motoring carelessness
averaged seven a day.
The people read of this loss of life
disinterestedly, turn the page and forget
it. Hut the world would stand
aghast if seven similar victims wore
selected each morning by lot and sacrificed
at a public ceremony.
(It course, that would be impossible
but the idea may give you a new
view of the automobile accident situation
In the city merit ioued ? w hi< h
is no better or worse than many ot'p>r
cities and towns?the odds are about
u hundred and fifty thousand to ..no
against being killed on any gi\i n <iay.
Those ,are long odds?but tliey are
considerably shorter than the odds
against a man with one ticket w inning
a major prize in the Calcutta Sweepstakes
which is participated in by
hundreds of thousands of Americans.
I'ndor the lottery system of selecting
victims lor sudden death, the papers
each morning could list the
names of those drawn, and the unfortunates
could wind up their business
and go ijuietly to their doom.
That opportunity isn't given to those
who are run down by speeding iars.
So remember that the chance of you
being killed by a motor car is a daily
lottery and is greater than your
(banco of winning a prize in the
sweepstakes in which you hopefully
gamble a dollar to two now and then.
Is dangerous driving worth its prbo?
