j Daniel said in Austin this morn-
ing the most dangerous highway
traffic time in Texas lies ahead.
He told the 250-Citi?en Gov-
ernors Highway Safety Commis-

ber are the deadliest driving
months of the year.
However, he had praise for
the work of his commission ,the
Texas Safety Association, the
Department of Public Safety and
local organizations. He credited
them with bringing about a ten
per cent reduction in traffic
deaths so far this year.
Said the Governor—“we are
making prograss this year be-
cause the idea that we can do
something has begun to catch
on.”
Twelve counties have reported
no traffic deaths in Texas so far
this year compared to 33 last
year. Three counties which were
free of road deaths last year re-
main that way this year. They
are Loving, McMullen and Zap-
ata.
