CAUTION MOTORISTS IN BIG GAME COUNTRY So many deer have been killed by automobiles, and so many serious accidents to autoists barely averted, re- cently, that illuminated signs have been placed along certain highways through the big game country cau- tioning motorists to drive slowly. Bet- ween Philipsburg and Sandy Ridge, thirty-two deer have been Killed by automobiles since September 1. Motor- ists are not always to blame, as the deer usually leap directly in front of an oncoming car; but, motorists should value their own lives to such an extent that they will drive slowly. No less than six wrecked autos were taken off- the highway between Bellefonte and Moshannon as a result of collisions with deer. Judging from a casual survey of re- ports from field officers it would be safe to say that a thousand deer are killed each year by autos and many human beings injured as a result.
