Holiday Deaths
Set Near Record
(By The Associated Press)
Accidental death struck down at
least 739 Americans during their
four-day Independence Day week
end. The toll was much higher
than expected, and rocketed tow
ard the all-time high set in 1936—
761 deaths.
Citizens died in traffic crashes,
by drowning, and by miscellane
ous accidents at a little better
than one every 10 minutes during
the 102-hour period between ' 6
p.m. local time Friday and last
night at midnight.
Highway smashups claimed 458
lives in what was predicted as the
biggest XJ. S. traffic* jam in his
tory.
Water deaths totalled 168. Mis
cellaneous kinds of mishaps killed
113.
No one was reported killed in
Fourth of July fireworks trage
dies, but the other deaths were
tied in with Independence Day
celebrations.
The national safety council had
predicted that 385 would die in
traffic crashes. But the toll mount
ed and mounted as the holiday
drivers coursed along the high
ways.
The 1936 death record was set
during the four day Christmas pe
riod. At that time 555 of the 761
deaths were in automobile acci
dents.
Last year’s three-day Labor
Day week end highway toll—410
—was a postwar record.
On a four-day, non-holiday
week-end last month, an Associ
ated Press tally across the coun
try showed that only 455 persons
met accidental death. Of these,
270 died in traffic mishaps, 75
drowned and 110 died from other
accidental causes. The survey
was made by the (j*P) to compare
holiday and non-holiday fatali
ties figures.
Mrs. Fred Rohn left today for
Seattle to visit with relatives and
friends for a few weeks while on
her annual vacatiori from Polet’s.
Eddie Gross, well known pio
neer tinner who has been in the
