Three-Month, State-Wide Campaign To
Reduce Accidents To Start September 1
Service Clubs, Motor Groups, State Agencies In Drive
By GIFFORD PINCHOT
On September 1 a State-
It will be a three month drive on
started in Pennsylvania.
wide safety campaign will be
a scale never attempted before.
All departments of the State Government, all service
clubs, all motor groups—in fact, every organized group in
the Commonwealth — should go the limit in this fight
against accidental deaths and injuries. 7
In the past we have had our State-
wide highway safety . campaign; we
have had drives for reducing industrial
accidents; we have had home™ and
school safety movements. All of these
campaigns have don egood, but not
enough good.
Now what we are attempting is a
union or co-ordination of all these
movements into the most vigorous and
most decisive drive the State has ever
seen.
A glance at official accident records
ought to be enough to convince every-
one that it is a civic personal duty to
co-operate in this drive.
For example, let’s look at our high-
way accident record.
During the first seven months of the
year, 29,510 automobile accidents were
reported in Pennsylvania. In these
wrecks 1,203 persons were killed and
28,687 were injured. \
That is a shocking record and the
worst of it is that it is 25 per cent.
higher than last year. s
The same thing is happening in in-
dustry. It is true that many factories
are being reopened with men unfamil-
jar with their jobs, or ‘“stale” from be-
ing idle for months. Nevertheless, it
is tragically unnecessary that fatal in-
dustrial accidents should show an in-
crease of 20 per cent, and that non-
fatal injuries have increased 22 per
cent. 4
In the first siX months of 1934, 589
people were killed and 47,232 hurt in
industry in this Commonwealth.
It is hard to get reliable figures on
accidents in homes and schools. But
we do know that the total is far more
than it should be.
The National Safety Council esti-
matesthat out of ever y100 boys and
girls hurt in accidents, 34 were injured
at home, 18 on school grounds, 17 in
school buildings, 19 on the way to or
from school, and 22 in other places.
The Department of Revenue, with
the Highway Patrol, and the power
to revoke and suspend licenses, will
tol: & ic lead 1a the three month drive
to reduce highway accidents. I ask
the Patrol to go the limit and I ask
our courts to co-operate. In particu-
lar I ask that no mercy should be
shown to drunken drivers.
The Department of Labor and Indus-
try and the Department of Mines,
with their forces of inspectors, will
take the lead in the drive against in-
dustrial accidents.
I have told the heads of these de-
partments that it is their responsibility
and duty to do everything they have
money to do, and that is not actually
unlawful, to protect the lives and limb’
of Pennsylvania's workers.
The Department of Public Instruc-
tion will put on an intensive drive to
cut down th eaccident rate among our
children and will reach out, through
the school teachers, to the children of
the Commonwealth, and their parents.
I urge as strongly as TI know how
that every organized group in the State
shall take up this campaign; arrange
meetings in behalf of safety; and im-
press upon every citizen the 1mpor-
tance of cutting down the tremendous
toll that carelessness is costing us.
Lastly—but most important of all—
I plead with every individual citizen
to do his or her part. Without the
wholehearted co-operation of the rank
and file, we can get nowhere
campaizn. But with the wholehearted
co-operation of the people Wwe can
achieve what will seem like miracles.

HOLES IN ROUTE 92
MAKE IT IDEAL FOR
CAR DEMONSTRATION
There is no exaggeration in the
statement that Route 92 between
Tunkhannock and Dallas is one of
the poorest State maintained in
this section.
Last winter and during several
previous winters great chuck holes
i nthe road prevented its use by
heavy trucks and on numerous oc-
casions motorists had to resort to
having their automobiles pulled out
of mud holes by horses and tract-
tors.
For several years automobile
dealers demonstrating the riding
qualities of new automobiles take
their prospects for a ride. over
Route 92 believing if any road will
give an automobile a fair test of
its riding qualities—this road will
do it. The State's best alibi for
keeping the road in this condition
rests in its assertion that it does
not want to spend much money on
“repairs” since a permanent road
is being planned—and has been
planned every year for the past
twenty.

Fine would add his valuable assistance
to the movement. You can be assured
that Wyoming Valley Motor Club wil
pledge its co-operation and lend its

for some years in the
resources to any effort the motorists of
Dallas Rotary Club has been active
movement to
have the road reconstructed and since
it became apparent recently that Fed-
eral funds might be available the club
has redoubled its efforts.
C. A. Albert, chairman of the club's
road committee, has made contact with
officials whose influence would contri-
|bute to the success of the movement
and reported vesterday that the club
is determined to press its demands.
Mr. Albert has a group of prominent
business and professional men from
this section on his committee and it is
anticipated that they will have im-
portant progress to report shortly.
Longstreet Doubtful.
No provisions have been made to |
include the Dallas-Tunkhannock high- |
way in the fall program of State High-
jway Department construction, S. F.
Longstreet, division engineer, said
this week.
During a telephone conversation he |
lassured The Post that no definite au- |
| thorization for paving the road has |
been given and he explained that, as |
delphia and then entered the employ of | far a5 present plans are concerned, the { bert,
road “is probably out of the picture |
