Highway Deaths
Predicted at 17
Over Labor Day
ATLANTA — Seventeen per
sons are marked for death in
Georgia traffic accidents during
the upcoming Labor Day holiday
week-end.
That’s the grim prediction of
the Georgia Department of Pub
lic Safety's Accident Reporting
Division for the prolonged sum
mer-end holiday period which ex
tends from 6 P. M. Friday, Aug
ust 31, through midnight Monday,
Sept. 3, a total of 78 hours.
The prediction is based on a
study of Georgia’s Labor Day
holiday accident experience over
the past few years and on the
basis of present trends, according
to Col. H. Lowell Conner, public
safety director.
“Everything will be done that
can be done to prevent our pre
dictions from coming true,” de
clared Col. Conner in announc
ing that the State Patrol will be
out in full force working around
the clock throughout the 78-hour
period.
“We hope each driver will take
it upon himself to prove our pre
diction wrong,” he said. “By o
beying all traffic laws and driv-

ing carefully and sensibly at all
times, they can, collectively, pre
vent a single fatality or serious
accident from occurring.”
While appealing to motorists
and pedestrians to practice safety,
the director made it clear that
the State Patrol will be at maxi
mum strength and armed with
strict orders to arrest speeders,
reckless drivers, drunk drivers
and all other violators, including
“litterbugs” which are termed a
menace to highway safety.
All members of the patrol, GBI
agents and other service person
nel, as well as all available e
quipment, will be pressed into
service. Every enforcement tech
nique known, including additional
radar machines and other speed
timing devices, roadblocks, hard
to-detect patrol cars and airborne
spotters will be used in an all
out effort to apprehend traffic
law violators, it was emphasized.
Complete reports will be broad
cast over the patrol’s state-wide
radio network.
Col. Conner will personally di
rect the massive enforcement op
eration. He has requested the
aid of all law enforcement agen
cies throughout the state “to help
make this the safest Labor Day
week-end on record.”
“We again solicit the help and
support of the press, radio and
television stations and the many
safety organizations in the state
to prevent the needless slaughter
of human lives on our highways
and streets,” Col. Conner said.
Last year 15 persons were kill
ed and 194 others injured in a
total of 472 accidents occurring
in Georgia over the Labor Day
holiday period. In other recent
years the death score ran like
this: 1960 — 11; 1959 — 15; 1958
— nine; 1957 — seven; 1956 — 14,
and 1955 — ten.

duction also includes apples,
cherries, figs, pears, persimmons,
plums, pomgranates, quince,

these fruits and vegetables are
20 State Farmers Markets at
strategic locations throughout the
state, a number of shipper-buy
ers, and many fruit and vegeta
ble processors. In 1960, 19 ship

six million dollars worth of vege
tables from about 19,000 acres of
land.
Another survey showed that 17
processors purchased more than
six million dollars worth of fruits
and vegetables from more than
49,000 acres in 1960.

cultural status were compiled by
Mr. Roy W. Green, agricultural
economist at the College Experi
ment Station in Athens, and pub
