'Otherfellowitis'
Blamed for Many
Traffic Mishaps
ATLANTA — (GPS * Deploring
; the 993 traffic deaths which oc- j
curred on Georgia’s highways,
and streets during 1952, Director.
Garland T. Byrd, of the Georgia
Citizens Council, sponsors of the I
I state-wide “Operation Safety” i
program, blamed “Otherfellowit
j is” as the cause of many of these
i accidents.
) He quoted from an article by
) W. Earl Hall, managing editor of
I the Mason City (lowa* Globe
) Gazette, on the importance of
converting the rank and file of
> Americans to the need for better
I practice of rules of safety.
) “Mass conversion to the Traf
fic Safety cause has not as yet
) taken place in our land,” Editor j
Hall wrote. “Too many of us are
I yawning in the face of mounting
■ tragedy, and saying that it won’t
1 happen to me—a malady that
can be described as ‘Otherfellow
itis.* ”
The Mason City editor, Mr.
I Byrd pointed out, would dele
-1 gate the job of making streets
* and highways safer to an evan
gelist rather than to an expert
1 or a technician; and that away
1 must be found to convert the
rank and file of the people to
1 the concept that practicing rules j
of safety is an indispensable;
element of good citizenship.
“We have gone just about as’
far as we can with appealing to
the mind; the appeal from this
point on—if we’re to get any
where—must be directed to the ■
heart and soul and the spirit or 1
man," Mr. Hall wrote.
Commenting Director Byrd
said the accidents that killed 993
persons in Georgia last year oc
curred despite the fact that
about every known method for ,
accident prevention was em
■ ployed.
“So it isn't more information
that we apparently need," he
asserted, “but a spur to induce
us to apply what we already
know. Perhaps we do need to
take a little inward look and
make sure that we are willing to
improve our Traffic Safety
i habits,"
