EDITORIAL

‘Death, Every Four Hours

A car streaks along a smooth, well-paved highway; it sweeps
over a small rise, fails to take a turn and plunges off the road,
«smashing violently into a telephone pole. There is a crackling of
‘shattered glass; the shrieking protest of grinding and twisting
metal and a piercing agonized scream; — then silence! . . as
‘ominous and thorough as the grave.

Another traffic accident has occurred. The morning paper will
carry a list of the killed; relatives will mourn bitterly over some-
one who was too young to die; the whole community will be
stunned by the tragedy and meanwhile, somewhere in this country,
perhaps in this province, gnaybe even in our own community,
‘someone else will be driving or riding to his death.

A traffic id is either h or preparing to happen at
‘this very moment, somewhere in Canada. Perhaps someone you
fIcnow or hold dear is rushing to a violent end.

Someone is killed Canada every four hours, in or by cars.

‘Someone is injured in Canada every fifteen minutes, in or by

* cars. .

That is the grim picture painted by the latest statistics avail-
able. These same statistics reveal that during the past 20 years,
30,000 people have been killed in Canada, in or by cars. This means
that in 20 years, twice the population of Trail has been wiped out,
victims of traffic tragedy. “ ‘

Record Tourist Traffic
For First Half-Year

A record influx of 100,000
American.cars have crossed bor-
der points to holiday in British
Columbia during the first six
months of this year, as revealed
in a report of Hon. Douglas Turn-
bull, Minister of Trade and In-
dustry, on Tuesday. The total is
7,419 cars greater than at the mid-
way mark last year.

The figures show that British
Columbia’s popularity with’ U.S.
holiday makers is still on the in-
crease, despite a slightly smaller
number of entries in June com-
pared with the mid-summer
months last year.

“The continuing flood of Am-
erican visitors into our province
is doubly encquraging,” said Mr.
Turnbull, “in view ‘of the fact
that the neighbor nation is in the

* One of us, most vitally. Much has been said, much is being. said, and
much will no doubt continue to be said, deploring this woeful
state of affairs. Meanwhile, people are being killed at an ever in-
- creasing rate, in or by cars. Indications are that in this Nelson-Trail
Castlegar district, the accident rate will be at an all-time high this
year. It is time we stopped merely talking and took action. It is
time for every community, every individual and especially every
motorist to do something about making our highways and by-ways
‘something other than breeders of tragedy. .
