D. Shiple of the Penn- sylvania Motor Truck Associa- tion, spoke to the Rotarians on ‘Accidents On High Speed Highways” at the regular Tues- day dinner meetings of the Ro- tary Club held at Hostetter’s. Shiple stated that of the twenty persons killed on the Pennsylvania Super Highway so far this year, 80 percent of those killed crossed the center stripe of the highway out oF | control. At 70 miles per hour only a miracle will keep a car under control should an emer- | gency arise, he said. Many lives would be saved on all high speed highways, Shiple said, if a deflector rail were put in the center stripe and built to the height of the hub cap of a car. He said that, it was his opinion that if a rail of this type had been erected .on the Penna. Super Highway, ov- er 75 of those killed so far would be living today.
