I . Judge Crifatmiden cited
Ooke Stevenaon^ addrsw
when toe governor stressed that
ctdent prevention was primarily a
locnl problem and ghoul:! oe attack
«d through Community organization.
Quoting OOv. Stevenson, Judge Orit-
tenden said toe governor declared,
’jthe defense' program was bclug im-
paired by a mounting -death toll
which in Texas threatens to claim
2,000 Uvea in 1941.
"If my home town of Junction,
Kimble County, were to be wiped out
tomorrow by a tornado and its 2,-
088 iribehltarits ktiWed,<’toe ,<oatas-
trophe would shock toe state and na-
tion,’-' he said.
| ' '"Yet this year according to predic-
tions, approximately that number
will be. killed upon our Htreet*
and highways.'’.,.
■ ‘TJnder the present trend, Texas
will have suffered toe lore of 2,000
L jiereons from traffic accidents by
end of December. Some 80,000
|mflere will lu^ye been injured, many
■mnnently. The economic loss
Amount to millions of dollars.
v Th,- nation's probable death toll of
40,000 meant, when reduced to terms
of military preparedness, the lose' of
' enough man houns to construct 12
,. battlestrij* or 20,000 fighter planes.’’
Judge Crittenden concluded by
laying that an accurate account o!
accfden/ta In the county will be kept
and tout in all probabtitty this work
r will be iMustluued . tlirougboiR the
year.
