“My appeal to young people is
for us to work together—from the
inside.
“I am not only opening my
doors to young people with ideas
for change, I am going out to seek
out their counsel and ad viceo Sev-
eral things are being done to help
us bridge this generation gap.
“First, I have just written let-
ters asking for the first of a sere
ies of meetings with the presi-
dents of every college student
body in the state. Student and
Governor Communication Con-
ferences will give the student
body president or anotner repre-
sentative the opportunity to ex-
press their views to me and for
me to gain a greater insight into
their problems and desires. We

“Our modern problems are far
too great and complex for us not
to utilize the talents, energies
and idealism of our young people.
It is through the thoughts and act-
ions of our young people that we
draw the blueprints andeffectthe
plans for future progress.
“During the last few years, a
great deal of attention has been
drawn to the problems of a gen-
eration gap and the lack of com-
munication between young people
and older adults.
“With all the problems and
headaches this country faces—
and the state certainly has its
share—I personally remain anin-
Senator Everett Dirksen of the
United States Senate is gravely
concerned over the traffic fatali-
ties among college-age students
and is seeking the help of the
people to curb the tremendous
increase in fatalities under 30
years of age.
According to statistics presen-
ted by SenatorDirksen, the “traf-
fic fatilities” is the number one
cause of death in persons under
30 years of age. Recent messages
from Government sources indi-
cate that 300,000 deaths could be
caused in the next five years from
automobile accidents if all human
- efforts are not utilized to cut
-t down the increasing percentage of
automobile accidents.
Sen. Dirksen said that some in
Congress cannot understand how
the American public, who be-
came so concerned and alarmed,
over the gun control bill, could,
not, at the same time, show the
appropriate concern as individ-
uals and as citizens to insist up-
on self-discipline and appropriate
responsibility in driving a car.
This becomes more notablewhen
it is realized that prior to the
1960’s the average annual death
rate by automobile accidents was
almost one-half of the projected
annual rate of over 60,000 a year
for the next five years. It seems
almost unbelievable that the rate
has jumped from 35,000 a year to
60,000 a year in less than a 10-
year period.
“All segments of our society
should be fully committed to the
reduction of the slaughter on our
highways through safe vehicles,
safe highways, and safe drivers
(who use all of the safety devices).
