THE Place to Trade-
Moore’s Variety Store
YOU CAN’T PASS TBR BUCK
Pew of us have any adequate
realisation of the amasiug prog-
ress that has taken place in mak*
ing our modern automobiles me-
chanically eafe. Inventors and
engineers have literally shot the
works, all the way from major
improvements in brakes and
bodies, to relatively minor safe-
ty addttiona such as the elimina-
tion of projections on the instru-
ment boards.
Similar progress has taken
place in highway design. Non-
skid surfaces have been applied,
curves made into atraight-aways,
hills flattened, and turns banked
with slide-ruie accuracy. And
what ara the results of all this
expenditure of time, money and
ingenuity? A soaring accident
record, and a death toll that ap-
proaches the 40,000 mark an-
nually.
The motorist can’t pass the
buck. Individual carelessness,
Individual incompetence, individ-
ual ignorance—these are the
prime causes of accidents. The
most withering commentary that
can be made on our driving hab-
its is the fact that the great bulk
of fatal accidents occur on good
modern roads, under favorable
weather conditions, and involve
cars in excellent mechanical con-
dition. The proportion of acci-
dents that are actually caused by
mechanical failure of vehicles or
bad road conditions is microscop-
ic.
Figures indicate that the 1937
toll will be even greater than the
all-time record established in
1936. The most dangerous driv-
ing months are just beginning,
with short daylight hours, and
snow and ice and rain. There is
a very definite chance that you or
one of your family will be the
victim of a reckless motorist-or
that someone else will be the
victim of your driving. We will
never reduce the accident toll
until every motorist realizes the
vast responsibility that devolves
on a man at the wheel of a car
and takes the simple precautions
that will avoid 90 per cent of ali
accidents.
