PAGE TWO
Everything Isn't Told
Figures do lie. Sometimes they do not tell all
the truth.
Automobile accident statistics are among the
worst offenders in this respect. For instance, take
the figure 3190, which represents the number of
persons killed in automobile accidents last De
cember.
It doesn’t tell anything of the anguished parents
whose children’s brilliant futures were prema
turely snuffed out in needless accidents while
enroute home for the gayest time of the year.
Nor can it reveal any of the horror of smashed
and battered bodies, lying in crumpled heaps on
a highway littered with broken bits of glass and
shattered steel.
And how about the figures that inform us that
drivers between the ages of 18 and 24 were in
volved in 27 per cent of all fatal accidents last
year? Or that one person out of 4500 will be killed
in an automobile accident this year?
Again they don’t tell the whole truth, for they
never tell the driver that he might be next. And
he often is.
