ST OS I PS RS PG RS I NAR NRE RL RPG RPE FRR RE REPRE For 12 Months of 1945 American boys and girls are freer from the threat of death Guring their school years than at any other time in their lives, but parents can still be concerned over a national accident rate which makes motor and other fatal accidents the most common of all causes of death among children. According to census figures ci- ted by the women’s division of the Institute of Life Insurance, four and a half times as many children died in accidents in 1945 as from pneumonia, five times as many as from heart disease and 15 times as many as from in- fantile paralysis. The ages cover- ed are from 5 through 14, a group which in 1945 numbered more than 22,000,000 children. While deaths from accidents have declined only slowly during the past generation, the women’s division points out, deaths from many other causes have dropped rapidly. In 1920, 28 children out of every 100,000 died from dip- theria, 22 from tuberculosis and 45 from pneumonia and influenza; in 1945 only two and one-tenth children out of 100,000 died from diptheria, less than seven from pneumonia and influenza. In the nieantime, the overall death rate declined; 264 children out of 100,000 died from all causes in 1920 compared to less than 90 per 100,000 in 1945. Motor vehicles were the most common cause of fatal accidents among children in 1945, being re- sponsible for about one-third of all accidental deaths. A variety of other causes accounted for the other fatal accidents, including drownings, burns, death from fire- arms, falls, railroad accidents, poisons, and gas, in that order. Although no other age group Las a better mortality record than children between the ages of 5 and 14, they are not “the health- jest part of our population, ex- perts point out. Children of school age are actually sick more often than young and middle-aged ad- ults, and some of their illnesses, particularly rheumatic fever, re- cur in later years. As children grow older, the number of fatal accidents and the overall death rate increase; more than twice as many boys and girls over 15 die in automobile accidents. Other kinds of acci- dents also increase. Certain dis- eases, particularly tuberculosis, become more common after the age group passes 15 while others, such as diphtheria became far less common. Disturbing as may be the mo- tor vehicle accident rate for child- ren of school age, the women’s division points out, even more al- arming is the increase in the rate for very young statistice are available, | War 10 | house and feed thousands of the | and Oklahoma | homeless; Teen-Age Accident Rates In Nation Reach High Point took its toll.
