Harold Foss's two sisters and Children are staying this next week with the Foss family. Mrs. Leon's oldest son, John, and his family are out for a few days. rpipson iraff ic Safety CHARLES F. CARPENTIER Secretary of State Motorists should always uae "caution" as their by-word when behind the wheel of an auto. This is especially, true at night when the responsibilties of a driver are multiplied. More persons are killed or injured in traffic accidents at night than during the busier daytime period. On the open road, speeds should be reduced by at least ten miles Superhighway Network Incapable Of 50 Percent Accident Reduction Pinochle Club Mrs. Irene Leon had her pinochle club last Thursday and Mrs. Anna Bolda substituted for Dorothy Wrublewski, who is on vacation. Winners of the prizes were; Rita Erickson, "T" Geiger of j Duck Lake and Marcella Foss. A delicious cold cut luncheon was served by the hostess. Going to Camp On Thursday of this week Virginia Grey and Judy Vacandio Bridal Shower On Saturday, July 23, a bridal shower was given by Mrs. Edith Lubke and her daughters for Marge Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Williams. Marge is to be married Aug. l in McHenry to Harry Brodin, grandson of Mrs. Marie Moe. Many friends and neighbors attended the shower and lovely gifts were received by the bride-to-be. A network of superhighways crisscrossing the country will be a boon to traffic movement but will prove incapable of reducing' traffic accidents the 40 to 50 per cent that has been promised unless the program includes proper traffic law enforcement, Paul H. Blaisdell, traffic safety director of the Association of Casualty and Surety companies has declared. Mr. Blaisdell stated recently that "we do not have one single shred of evidence with our existing post-war creations in superhighways to support the promise' that *a better highway, alone and unaided, will greatly reduce our traffic accident experience. ; "Instead, we have ample proof that until modern highways have the accompaniment of stepped up traffic law enforcement and tighter driver control, there is just as great a likelihood that our accident troubles will increase. The growing favorable traffic casualty record of the present turnpikes and superhighways dates only from the day that modern techniques of enforcement were applied freely, firmly and impartially." Mr. Blaisdell, who spoke on behalf of the insurance organization's accident prevention department, declared that the Association of Casualty and Surety Companies ". . supports fully the program for a better national system of highways." Modern highways, he emphasized, if accompanied by modern . enforcement, would make a major contribution to traffic accident prevention but warned against risking: .the case for a national good highways program on exaggeration of safety possibilities. "It would appear to be a statement of the obvious," he pointed out. "to say that the ^building of adequate modern highways would reduce traffic accidents. Our common sense alone will indicate that the elimination of "'lives, the widening of pavement, the improvement of surface, the (•direction of grades and the re- (Vsi.irn of intersections would so greatly improve the flow of traffic and would so engineer safety into the roadway that accidents should drop sharply. '.A look at, the record, however, t^nds to shatter this idealism. Reports of the states tell us that 78 per cent of the fatal traffic accidents take place on straight level roads, with the remaining 22 pn cent on some combination of curve, turn, grade .or crest of hill. Moreover, the! \experience with our eastern turnpikes, tells us that when the highway is engineered for safety we substi- Mt(» other types of traffic accident for the varieties common to the outmoded and more crowded highways and thus still keep the casualty toll at a high level. "There can be little doubt that the straightening of sharp curves or the* reduction of steep grades might help lower the 22 per cent of our accident 'invOltement in which these highway features play a part. However, we may only be jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Improved highway designs are in the direction of a type which apparently produces more accidents rather than less. By the elimination of a curve we seem to invite greater speed. Limited access facilities seem to increase the frequency of accidents in which "following too closely," fatigue and "running off the road" aret featured. "Plainly, I am of the opinion that the $alm assumption that more and better highways will guarantee 40 to 50 per cent fewer traffic accidents is either wishful thinking or an overzealous attempt to justify the highway program. Into the total cost of highway progress we must figure the added cost of strict control if we really want safety to be a co-partner. We are not dealing with a handful of highway users or a few main roads, but with 70,000,000 drivers and 60,000,000 vehicles. Half measures and small projects will solve neither the highway problem nor the traffic accident problem. ; • - - "What can we do about it? "We can remember that in the billions of dollars we urge for new highways, a few millions need to be earmarked for control of the facility we create. If safety is an integral and inseparable part of the whole highway problem -- which I believe it to be -- there is more to safety planning for new roads than design features. It would Tt>e foolhardy to think of improving the highway system first and adding safety control as an afterthought. To meet the problems of the new highways, we must increase the means of enforcement and control. Police and driver lipense officials must have the means of enforcement and control. Police and driver license officials must have the personnel, the training for that personnel and the modern equipment to do the complete job of highway supervision. This is a job they already know how to do if sufficient public backing and money are available. "As a conservative estimate, it has been suggested that a truly adequate highway system 4-H News _ _ Last Tuesday the 4-H club parare going to camp at Elkhorn, ! ticipated in the 4-H Achievement Wis.

Drivers should be especially cautious when approaching intersections where there is little or no lighting. On the open road the driver must be prepared for the numerous emergencies which become doubly dangerous when pight falls. The city driver must be ever aware of the tasks which present difficulties during the daytime and which become more serious obligations at night, such as motorists and pedestrians crossing intersections against traffic signals, cars suddenly pulling into traffic from parked positions, and jay walkers. Remember, always exercise caution when driving, but be particularly cautious when operating a ve-, hide at night.
