help people plot the location of

Genealogy Begins With You
Statewide traffic deaths de-
creased last year for the first
time since 19’6. acvceviing to
statistics released b» the Texas
Department of Pub .; Safety
Colonel Jim Adams DPS di-
rector. said 4.2’1 traffic fatal-
ities were reported in 1^2 a
reduction of 9.1 per cert com
pared to the prev icus v ear The
mileage death rate decreased
12.8 per cent to 3 4 deaths per
hundred million r es traveled
in 1982 compared tc 3 * -.r 1981
Adams believes the reducnoe
in fatalities resulted fro- sever-
al factors
"Stepped-up enforcement by
DPS and kxa officers rro-ght
about a 25 per cent .r.crtase m
DW1 arrests last year he said.
"The Highway Patrol has also
beer concentrating on speed
enforcement and this has helped
bring the top speeds down on
our highways."
The DPS director said public
concern about DW] has contri-
buted to the decrease tn fatal-
ities
Widespread attention to the
drunken driving problem by the
news media and citizen groups
has increased the public’s re-
cognition of the seriousness of
this menace," Adams pointed
out. Motorists who drink now
have a greater fear of the con-
sequences of driving under the
influence of alcohol, and con-
sequently are being more care-
ful. Our challenge now is to
sustain this public concern to
help turn this temporary reduc-
tion into a lasting accomplish-
ment Pending DW| legislation
will assist greatly in this
respect”
Adams also noted that 25 per
cent of the statewide fatalities
(1.066) were DW] related.
"We still maintain that this
statistic would be in the 50 per
cent range if state law required
blood alcohol measurements
from all drivers involved in fatal
accidents," he said. "But this
figure makes it plain that DWI
remains one of the leading
causes of traffic deaths.”
Motorcycle operator and
passenger deaths totaled 403 in
1982, an 8.8 per cent decrease
compared with the previous
year. Four out of five of the
motorcyclists killed were not
wearing protective headgear
when the accident occurred.
More than 98 per cent of the
persons killed in passenger
vehicles were not wearing seat
belts.
