Rotarians Hear Talk
On “Accidents On High
Speed Highways"
Mr. O. 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.
Shiple closed his talk with
the assertion that the motorist
is inviting death by not realiz-
