Holiday Deaths
State Patrol
Predicts 17
The Georgia State Patrol
says the upcoming July 4th
Holiday period may well be
the busiest holiday period of
the Bicentennial year from a
traffic and enforcement
standpoint. Georgia Public
Safety Commissioner Colonel
Herman Cofer said the
holiday, by its very nature,
would likely create unpre
cedented situations and pro
blems for the traffic enforce
ment officer at all levels in
the state.
In spite of widespread
measures being taken to cope
with heavy traffic during the
holiday period the Patrol is
predicting 17 highway deaths
during the 78 hour holiday
period which begins at 6:00
p.m. local time Friday and
ends at midnight Monday. It
is anticipated that 289
injuries will occur in 901
accidents. The death predic
tion is slightly lower than a
year earlier when 19 persons
died.
“There’s no doubt that
during the weekend large
numbers of Bicentennial
programs in cities and towns
across Georgia will place
never before seen traffic
duties on officers. We are
trying to prepare for this
from a Patrol standpoint by
having our troopers meet
with local officers and work
out mutual assistance plans
for each city and county,” he
said.
“There’s no doubt, too, that
we’ll see more travel, even if
just for short distances,
during this holiday than any
other time this year. Every
one is making plans for some
special type of observance of
the Nation’s 200th Birthday.”
Colonel Cofer said there
wasn’t much the Patrol could
do beyond putting every
available man on the roads to
help traffic flow as freely and
unencumbered as possible.
He said troopers had orders
to show no leniency to traffic
law violators, particularly
drunks and speeders, and
that every available officer
would be on the roads.
Additionally the Patrol will
use its several helicopters
and plans to provide enforce
ment from the air. Cofer said
he was also hopeful the
Patrol could rely on other
officers such as GBI, radio
operators, local detectives
and other plain clothes
officers to help spot and
report traffic violators. He
sais several CB radio clubs
were planning safety breaks
and had promised “Smokey”
extensive help.
Colonel Cofer said the high
activity expected during the
weekend might turn out to be
a blessing in disguise. “July
4th activities could help
keep highway speeds down
thereby lessening the chanc
es for serious accidents to
occur,” he said.
Colonel Cofer said he knew
it was wishful thinking but
“wouldn’t it be great to
celebrate the Bicentennial
4th of July without any
traffice deaths?”

Protect your child’s ears.
They are valuable, and
irreplaceable, gifts of nature.
Mothers should institute
early training to instill in
children the idea that they
should not place foreign
objects in their ears.
Consult your family doctor
immediately if your child
does place some
matters in his ears. You
should not attempt to remove
the object yourself. There i£
the possibility that you could'
worsen the situation by
pushing the object further
into the ear, rather than
removing it. Let your doctor
remove the object.
Caution should be exer
cised when dealing with your
health. Our pharmacists
employ every possible safe
guard when compounding
your prescriptions. Your
health is a precious commo
dity. See us for all your
pharmaceutical needs.
