EDITOR
I am so tender-hearted that
it hurts me to kill a fly. Thurs
day evening as I was driving
near the north city limits I met
four kids on unlighted bicycles
headed toward me on my side
of the road.
Conceivably, if I had been
meeting a bunch of cars with
blinding lights, I could have hit
and killed four precious kids
somebody’s children, some
body’s brothers, somebody’s
grandchildren.
In addition to the traumatic
shock to the families and the
community, this would have
been a shock to me, from
which I might never have re
covered.
Who knows where the kids
are at 9 o’clock at night? Who
cares?

State Highway Patrol
Predicts 26 Fatalities
ATLANTA (GPS) A mas
sive traffic enforcement opera
tion similar to the one staged
during the past Fourth of July
holiday weekend but on an
even larger scale will be car
ried out by the Georgia State
Patrol over the long Labor Day
weekend.
In announcing plans to cope
with the heavy traffic on Geor
•gia’s highways during the ac
tion-packed, summer-ending
holiday weekend, Col. R. H.
Burson, director of the Georgia
Department of Public Safety,
warned motorists that it will be
a “no-holds-barred” crackdown
on traffic law violators. State
troopers have strict orders to
“get tough” if necessary.
The Labor Day holiday
period officially begins at 6
p.m. Friday, Sept. 4, and ends
at midnight Monday, Sept. 7 -a
total of 78 hours.
Despite careful enforcement
planning and an all-out effort
by patrolmen to maintain

safety on an around-the-clock
basis, indications are that
tragedy will strike and strike
hard and often.
For example, on the basis of
past holiday experiences and
present trends, the patrol pre
dicts that at least 26 persons
will be killed and 425 others
injured in 1,450 accidents dur
ing the prolonged weekend.
Last year during Labor
Day’s 78-hour holiday span 21
persons lost their lives and 442
others were injured in a total
of 1,144 traffic mishaps.
While this year’s death toll
prediction is higher than last
Labor Day’s actual experience,
Col. Burson and his staff are
hopeful that the prediction
turns out to be wrong and that
the current picture will be
brighter.
One reason for their op
timism is the fact that 25 new
troopers, who have been under
going an 8-week intensive train
ing program at the Georgia
Police Academy, will be gradu
ated and assigned to active
duty immediately just a few
hours before the state-wide
traffic enforcement program
begins.
This brings the State
Patrol’s uniform division
strength to roughly 650 offi
cers and men, the highest since
its creation in 1937.
Backing up these well
trained patrolmen will be GBI
agents, license examiners, radio
operators and agents from
other state enforcement
agencies who will be serving as
“spotters” from both the
ground and from aircrafts, ac
cording to Maj. Porter Weaver,
the patrol's commanding offi
cer. In all, there will be more
than 1,000 men actively partic
ipating, he said
In addition to regular patrol
cars equipped with Vascar
units, radar and other speed
timer devices, the patrol’s “tac
tical squards” will be roving all
( over the state in rounding up
traffic violators. Even a com
puterized selective enforce
ment system, which pinpoints

where the most action is, will
be used, it was pointed out.
Col. Burson, Lt. Col. L. G.
Bell, deputy safety director,
and Maj. Weaver will be travel
ing all over the state directing
strategic maneuvers.
Meanwhile, the patrol is
expecting full cooperation
from numerous safety-minded
sources, such as common-sense
drivers, local and county law
enforcement officers, the press,
radio and television stations
and various safety organiza
tions in helping to make the
safety drive a success.
And one of the hardest
working individuals in this class
is G. M. Kirk, who for 10 years
has served as safety committee
chairman of the American
Legion’s fourth District. He is
again pushing his safety plan
by urging all citizens to attend
the church of their choice on
“Labor Sunday,” Sept. 6. This,
he contends, would keep off
the highways where accidents
occur.
