three on December 25 with six
killed; two on December 27 with
three killed; and three on.De
cember 28 with six killed. There
were no highway fatalities on
December 26.
The previous year, 1967, there
were eight fatal collisions with
nine killed occurring three on
December 24 with three killed;
three on December 26 with four
killed; one on December 27 with
one killed; and one on Decem
ber 28 with one killed.
“A safe holiday depends on
everyone, not just the Highway
Patrol,” Col. Thompson said.
“Everyone must drive carefully
if we are to have a fatality
free holiday season.”
He reminded motorists of the
“crusade” to reduce highway
fatalities during “December—A
Month for Special Care on the
Highways”.
Particularly, he said, “keep
down speed, don’t drink while
driving, and know the security
of wearing safety seat belts.”
Col. Thompson said radar and
unmarked cars will be used ex
tensively. He promised “fair and
consistent” enforcement of all
speed and other highway laws.
On the overall traffic fatality
picture, there has been some
improvement in the last few
weeks. On December 15, 770
fatal collisions with 934 deaths
had been counted this year; a
year ago on December 15 there
had been 805 collisions with
956 deaths.
The number of fatal collisions
is down 35, but with a decrease
of only 22 fatalities.
In Uie last 15 days of the
month last year, there were 42
fatalities in 28 collisions.

No holiday
for Highway
Patrolmen
If South Carolina’s 580 High
way Patrolmen could have their
Christmas wish, it would surely
be no fatalities on the state’s
highways.
The long Christmas holiday
starting Wednesday, December
24, Christmas Eve, and contin
uing through Sunday, December
28, will be no holiday for them.
They will be on the highways
in strength, using every enforce
ment technique to assure a safe
holiday for motorists, Col. P.
Frank Thompson, Patrol com
mander, said.
Heaviest patrol strength will
be in the hours generally from
4 p.m. to midnight each of the
five days, but there will be a
considerable number patrolling
at all times.
He said that last year, there
were 11 fatal collisions on the
comparable five days, with 18
fatalities, occuring three on Der
cember 24 with three killed;

Once again the spirit
of Christmas radiates its
promise of hope, love
and peace throughout the
land. As you reflect
upon the Miracle and glory
of the Holy Birth, may
you be comforted by the
faith, gladdened by
the message and sustained
by the inspiration of
Christmas, now and
always. May holiday
joys and blessings
be yours.
