Seat Belt Study Hints Motorists
Unconcerned About Saving Lives
In 1967, Georgia was fourth
in the nation in automobile deaths
based on numbers of registered
motor vehicles; seventh, based on
population, and twelfth by vehicle
mileage in the state. So says the
National Safety Council in Acci
dent Facts, 1968.
Traffic fatalities have risen in
Georgia from the 10th leading
cause of death in 1940, to the
4th leading cause of death in
1967, according to State Health
Department vital records. Motor
vehicle collisions were the num
ber one cause of death in Georgia
last year for persons ages one
through 44, these same reports
show.
“Despite these alarming sta
tistics,” said a joint release
issued today in Atlanta by Dr.
John H. Venable, director of the
State Health Department and Col.
R. H. Burson of the Department
of Public Safety, “many motor
ists are apparently unconcerned
about their own safety on the
roads and highways of our state.

NCHS Latin
Club Meets
The November meeting of the
Latin Club of N. C, H. S. was
held Wednesday, November 27,
in Mrs. McKay’s room at activ
ity period.
The meeting was called to or
der by President Roy Callaway.
Then all the members pledged to
the American Flag in Latin.
Under new business the club
members discussed various ways
of encouraging clean sportsman
ship throughout the school.
Members of one of the Latin
Classes presented a program in
keeping with the Thanksgiving
Season. Taking part were: Kim
Allen, Patricia Allen, Bob Bur
nett, Judy Granger, Hugh Hudson,
Paul Jernigan, Deleda May, Hu
anne Moore, Bryant Steele, Clau
dine Stowe, and Gail Wood.
Following this Bonnie Johnson
read a translation about Thanks
giving Holidays. Members sang
songs in Latin. The President
then adjourned the meeting.
For Neat Laundry
Don’t settle for a dull-looking
laundry room. Nail up low-cost
rough pine boards on walls, fin
ished with platinum stain. Re
paint cabinets bright flamingo.
Replace door pulls with white
china ball knobs, and cover a
worn floor with indoor-outdoor
carpet in rich gold.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
surveyed in a recent seat belt
study conducted by state patrol
men were using restraining dev
ices—seat belts and shoulder
harness,” the state agency heads
reveal. “Twenty-four percent of
drivers were protected by seat
belts or shoulder harness, while
only 17 percent of the passengers
in the 3997 cars surveyed had
restraining devices in use.”
The seat belt study, designed
by the accident prevention sec
tion of the Georgia Department
of Public Health, and executed by
state troopers under the super
vision of Major Porter Weaver,
troop commander of the State
Department of Public Safety, re
vealed highest seat belt usage on
interstate highways—37 percent

of drivers and 30 percent of the
passengers. U. S. roads showed
23 percent of drivers and 18
percent of the passengers were
wearing seat belts. Twenty-one
percent of drivers and 16 per
cent of passengers wore belts on
state roads, with a sharp drop
shown for county roads—9 per
cent, drivers, 10 percent, pass
engers.
“Paradoxically, the time of
day, 9 to 12 a.m., when fewest
accidents occur indicated the
highest rates of seat belt usage
-24 percent for drivers, 19 per
cent for passengers,” Major We
aver pointed out. “Late after
noon hours when the fatalities
climb, revealed that less than
19 percent of drivers were pro-
tected by seat belts, while only
13.5 percent of passengers were
wearing them.”
“Another significant finding,”
Major Weaver continued, “was
that on Saturdays, when most
lives are lost in automobile wr
ecks, fewer motorists wear seat
belts. Week days accounted for
21 percent usage by drivers;
Sunday, 27.6 percent, and only
18 percent on Saturday. Figures
were similarly lower on Sat
urdays for passenger usage.”
“This study surveyed a total
of 8304 motorists, 3997 drivers
and 4307 passengers,” Dr. Ven
able explained, “which is a res
pectable sample. It plainly shows
that although seat belts are now
estimated to be available to two
thirds of all passenger car occ
upants, they are not being widely
used.
“American Medical Asso
ciation fatal accident inves
tigations conducted over ape-
riod of years have demonstra^ ‘
ted that 40 percent of fatal acc
ident victims would have lived
if seat belts had been in usd
at the time of the crashes.’
“Tbe significance of these st
udies to public health and safety
people, and to the motoring pu- :
blic, is evident. We must edu- g
cate and encourage motorists to
use this simple, effective, life- -
saving device-—the seat belt.
Increased seat belt usage,”.
he went on, “offers an immediate .
means of reducing both fatal and .
serious injury accidents, and in -
minimizing the fantastic ec-.
onomic losses being incurred.”
Concluded Colonel Burson, “If -
individual motorists saw the acc
ident reports filed with our de
partment every day, and read the
investigating officer’s comment
that death might not have occ
urred if seat belts had been fas
tened, usage rates would unques
tionably increase.”
