A TEXAS EMERGENCY
Texans watch nervously the fate of European people.
Within Texas, a crisis of direct bearing upon their own
fate is rapidly shaping uo.
Unless this country is involved in war, the present em-
ergency is of greater consequence to the lives and security of
Texans than the European situation.
This emergency is the rising traffic toll.
A lot of us perhaps have had the smug idea lately that
we had the traffic problem whipped. Last year Texas cut
its death toll 21 per cent. For the first five months of this
year we continued the reduction.
Then something happened. We started stepping on the
gas and jaywalking again. Accidents shot up. June, July,
and August traffic fatalities snapped a record of 14 months
of reductions. In the face of these increases, the disarma-
ment of the State Highway Patrol takes place September 1.
Then, one out of 5 men must be fired as a result of legislative
and executive economy.
And the end, the Texas Safety Association predicts, may
be the greatest death toll and property damage for Texas
since th peak year of slaughter, 1937.
Unless, that is, Texans stigmatize careless driving and
demand swift and certain punishment for drunken driving.
The emergency can be met—with your help
