THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Highway Deaths
Over Labor Day
Predicted at 15
i
ATLANTA,--(GPS) The year’s
big summer-ending holiday week
end—Labor Day—is close at
hand. And, if State Patrol calcu
'ations hold up, at least 15 per
sons will lose their lives in Geor
gia traffic accidents during the
78-hour period from 6 p. m. Fri
day, Sept. 4, through midnight
Monday, Sept. 7.
The prediction is based on a
study of Georgia’s—Labor—Day
holiday accident experience over
the years, plus current trends.
The patrol foresees, in addition to
the 15 potential fatalities, in
juries to another 315 persons. In
all, 525 traffic accidents are fore
cast.
“As always we hope we are
totally wrong in our prediction,”
declared Col. H. Lowell Conner,
director of the Georgia Depart
ment of Public Safety.
“But remember this, the final
outcome is in the hands of the
drivers themselves—nobody else.
It is their car, their life, their
responsibility, and only by obey
ing every traffic law and driving
carefully and sensibly can they
prove us wrong in our prediction.
We prayerfully hope they will do
just that.”
While appealing to motorists
and pedestrians alike to practice
safety at all times, the public
safety director made it clear that
the State Patrol has strict orders
to arrest speeders, reckless driv
ers, drunk drivers and all other
violators.
All members of the depart
ment’s uniform division, GBI
agents and other service person
nel, as well as all available equip
ment, is being pressed into ser
vice. In all, some 475 state law
enforcement officers will be on
duty throughout the period work
ing around the clock.
Every enforcement technique
known, including radar machines
and other speed-timing devices,
hard-to-detect patrol cars and
road checks, will be utilized in the
massive safety campaign, it was
emphasized.
Col. Conner will personally di
rect the state-wide operation. He
has requested the assistance of all
law enforcement agen ci e s
throughout the state to “help
make this the safest Labor Day
holiday period on record.”
“Once again we solicit the help
and support of the press, radio
and television stations and the
many safety organizations in the
state to do this part in helping
to prevent needless slaughter of
human lives on Georgia’s high
ways and streets,” Col. Conner
said.
Last year 24 persons were
killed and another 181 injured
in a total of 378 traffic accidents
reported in Georgia over the La
bor Day holiday period. The only
other year on record in which
the Labor Day weekend death toll
went higher was 1952 when the
total reached 28.
