AUSTIN -The 1986 traffic
death toll in Texas was the
lowest it has been in 10 years. ’
according to DPS Director Col.
Jim Adams.
The number of persons killed
on Texas' streets and highways
has decreased 3.1 percent-
3,568 for 1986 compared to
3,682 deaths in 1985, Adams
said.
“We are very pleased with
this decline, though the number
of people who died in traffic
accidents in Texas last year is
certainly still of tragic propor
tions,” he said. ‘The good news
is that it is getting safer to
drive in Texas.”
The death rate on Texas’
roadways, another measure-
ment of traffic safety, reached
its lowest point ever--2.4 dea
ths per 100 million miles travel
ed. v—1
From 3.9 in 1981, the death
rate in Texas has dropped
11MM
steadily each year. In 1985, the
rate was <2.6.
"Not only was the 1986
fatality count the lowest in the
state since 1976, last year’s
fugure represents 1,133 fewer
traffic deaths than recorded in
1981, the worst year in Texas
traffic history," Adams said.
"It's hard to assess a single
cause for this reduction since so
many factors are involved,”
Adams said. “Speed law en-
forcement, DWI enforcement
and a greater public awareness
of the consequences of drinking
and driving all play a role. An
additional factor has been the
seat belt legislation, which
went into effect Sept. 1, 1985."
A comparison of the final
fatality figures for the first
year the safety belt law was on
the books with the same period
the year before shows the
Tigers Face West Brook
In Silsbee On Friday
The Silsbee Tigers baseball
squad won one game in the
Beaumor.t tournament this past
weekend, but lost two others to
finish in sixth place in the
- contests.
The Tigers defeated district
rival Port Arthur Lincoln 51
with Rob Hare pitching a
one hitter. Ricky Maze. Bobby
Gore and George Harris had
tw-o hits each in this game.
In the first contest, Port
Neehes Groves scored 12 runs
in the first inning to down
Silsbee by a 12-0 margin, and
Beaumont Central defeated
Silsbee by a 9-2 margin in the
second contest.
Silsbee had a 2 1 lead on
Central going into the bottom
of the fourth but Central ex-
ploded for three runs in that
inning, and four runs in the
fifth to put the game out of
.reach.
The Tigers record is now 4 3
for the season. Their next game
will be at 7:30 p.m. Friday at
the Silsbee High School field
against West Brook. They face
Kirbyville at 7:30 p.m. Tues
day, also in Silsbee.
number of persons killed in the
front seats of cars and light
trucks declined by 7 percent.
"That 7 percent amounts to
157 lives arguably saved by
seat belts,” Adams said. 'The
safety belt law is working.
Unfortunately, a survey con
ducted for the Texas Depart
ment of Highways and Public
Transportation has indicated a
slight decrease in seatbelt
usage in Texas. We hope people
realize this law definitely saves
lives."
>■ In 1986, 1,304 fatalities ir.
Texas were listed as DWI
related, compared to 989 in
1985. Adams said the DPS feels
that increase is largely due to
better reporting of alcohol in
volvement in accidents, rather
than a sharp increase in DWI.
"We feel that society’s less
tolerant attitude toward drink
ing and driving is continuing to
pay off in the overall reduction
of fatalities, though the prob
lem of DWI is still a serious
one,” Adams said.
The number of motorcycle
fatalities increased from 364 in
1985 to 403 in 1986. an 11
percent increase. Of those
motorcyclists killed, 77 percent
had not been wearing helmets.
Silsbee TOPS Club ,1213 met
March 17 at 5 p.m. in Fuller’s
LP Gas Building.
Five members weighed in
with a 6V, pound loss. Ksthy
Johnson was the best loser and
winner of the fruit basket.
Shamrock winners were Bar
bara Odom for TOPS, and for
KOPS Emma Caraway and
Mildred Parks tied for first
place.
An Easter contest will begin
next Tuesday.
Kathy Johnson gave a talk on
exercising.

Sheriff Suggests
Ground Rules For
Basketball Game
In response to Chief Allens
agreement to accept our chal-
lenge to play in the Hardin
County Sheltered Workshop's
benefit Basketball game at
Silsbee High School Gym on
April 2 at 7:30 p.m. We would
now like to lay the "Ground
Rules.” Rule No. 1, No unload
ed guns will be allowed; No. 2.
No guns smaller than .38 cali-
ber allowed, No. 3. Brass
Knuckles only (No Plastic
Nightsticks), and No. 4, Lead
filled slappers only (No Mace).
Also Chief Allen, we are not
overly concerned about your
Pom Pom girl, Helen Larsh,
and her dazzlering moves since
we will have veteran cheer-
leader Lola Burgess leading us
down victory lane. She is, in
fact, at this very moment
working on a top secret plan of
action which guarantees unruly
bleacher support from our
many, many fans.
Also, Chief Allen, we have
already heard about the ex-
cuse's yall are are going to use.
such as Major Gilley saying his
kneee has a bobo. And as for
your sky hooks, fast breaks,
and shake & bake moves we are
not overly concerned. We ad-
mit, we are worried about your
frequent time outs because we
don't want to be blamed for
ya’U' heart conditions.
I'm also prepared to bring
several prisoners to cheer for
yall since we don’t think you
will have any fans on your side.
Yes, I'm up to it Chief.
Looking Forward to Elbowing
You,
Sheriff Mike Holzapfel
