A CIVIC PROBLEM With Tito increased amount of car owners in our county comes tho incrcns- < d amount of nccidents. Every car owner should be careful how and whoro they drive. Tho pedestrian soonts to Ihink that they ^avo the right-of-way and if the car owner thinks the same then something happens. Before getting into one of those moods let tho largo amount of casualties present itself to you. Wo givo you below some figures of the amount of people that were killed for the past threo years: In the year 1919 approximately 10,000 people lost their lives through the carolcss operation of automobiles. In 1920 this number incrcnBcd to more than 11,000; in 1921 to 12,500, and in 1922 to over 14,000. This year the fig ures are above last year and tho year is rot gone. Tho traffic hazard, however, is only one of tho causes of accidents which, during 1922, killod more than 75,000 people and injured in the neighborhood of 2,000,000. Accidents occur daily, not only in our streots and at railway cross- •ings s but in our homes, schools, public buildings nnd industrial plants. Seven ty-five por cent are preventable, Tho Carroll County Chapter will hold a Red Cross Roll Call beginning No-* - ' vombor 11th nnd continuing through , Novomber 29th, It is urged that ev- ? urybody givo their help to this cnll for membership. If you are not already a member become one, and if yon arc already a member renew'your mem bership during the next call, Carroll county’s quota for members is 700 this year. We want to reach that quota, and can, if everybody will give their support. During the time from July I, 1917, to Juno 30, 1923, the American Red Cross spent nationally nnd through its chapters more than $ 1(53,000,000 in service to tho men who wore the Amer ican uniform in tho world war nnd to their fnmilies. During the last fiscal ar $7,000,000 was spent in this work. Last year tho Red Cross spent $525,000 for relief in 110 disasters. This is not the limit of tho work of the Red Cross, it is only a few statistics to show just what is being done. In our immediate community the Red Cross is being con- inually called upon for help. Join tho Red Cross during this cam paign. It is only one dollar per year. Wo want everybody enrolled.—Carroll County Chapter, Amevican Red Cross. lot df nccidents, and help decrease tho total for tho United States.
