Approximately 80 per cent of 1967's 52,200 highways deaths occurred in this type of weather. :The report also showed Speed still to be the No. 1 killer.

I It seems only yesterday (actually, it was probably two weeks ago) that we made our customary call to the city hall for late news and found an old friend, Dick Lemker, at the desk. It was good to hear the vbice of this kindly man who hpaded our police department for several years and we looked forward to working with him again as he came out of retirement to assist city officers. Like many others, we were deeply saddened by his unexpected death last week. K.A.F.
