Accident Toll
Is Tremendous,
Figures Show
Accidental injuries cause a
yearly average of 460 million I
days of reduced activity among
the civilian population of the
United States.
Citing Public Health Service
figures, Miss Lucile Higginbot
ham, head of the Cooperative
Extension Service health de
partment, University of Geor
gia, said 114 million days are
spent in bed as a result of ac- (
cidental injuries, 84 million'
work days are lost by gainfully
employed individuals, and 12
million school days are lost by
children from six to 16 years of
age.
Miss Higginbotham explain
ed that the remainder of the
460 million days includes non
work and non-school days from
these groups and restricted
activity among homemakers
and other individuals.
The health specialist pointed
out that falls account for more
than 37 percent of both the re
stricted activity days and the
days in bed. Falls account for
30 percent of the work-loss
days.
Motor vehicle accidents cause
about 19 percent of the reduced
activity days, more than 22
percent of the bed-days, and 20 .
percent of the time lost from
work.

Cannon will query Georgia’s Gen
eral Conference delegates to learn

Atlanta’s recent desegregation
of more than 100 restaurants and
motels paved the way for Geor

ing to their state. Since the con
ference is interracial, southern
cities have not issued invitations
