Since the end of gas rationing, traffic deaths have mounted alarm- !
ingly. In 1945, 28,500 persons were killed; 1,000,000 injured. There
will be a much higher toll in 1946 unless all car owners drive safely
and carefully in cars that are in safe mechanical condition. To curb
the slaughter, the International Association of Chiefs of Police will
launch a six week Traffic Safety Check program on May 15. The pro- j
gram will be conducted in all parts of the United States and Canada. ,
with police officers checking the brakes, lights, tires, windshield wipers
and horns of cars involved in accidents or traffic violations. Drivers ;
are urged by the police to drive safely and courteously in cars that
J are mechanically sound, in order to reduce the shameful toll of auto j
mobile accidents.

WOULD ARREST
CITY FATHERS
HEALTH OFFICER HOLDS
JAIL IS A NUISANCE
ANCHORAGE, —Threatening to
have the mayor and city council
| arrested for maintaining a nui
sance in the city jail, Dr. Howard
Romig, city health officer, told
the police court that sanitary af
fairs of the city are such a mess
that he plans to resign.
The doctor appeared in court
in behalf of a man who was
sentenced to jail recently
and who was found after
wards to be suffering from
pleurisy. He berated the city
for overcrowded and unsani- j
lary conditions in the jail.
The tirade was delivered be
fore Acting Judge Buell Nesbett,
members of the police department
and prisoners who were being
arraigned.
Romig declared that the po
lice department is “doing a fine
job.” He blamed the city coun
cil for allowing the jail situa
tion to continue and the liquor in
terests “and the folks always
preying on others” for creating
the problem.
“I shall file charges against
the city for maintaining a nui
sance and I shall hand in my
resignation,” Dr. Romig said.
Over half of U. S. 1941 motor
traffic was on the 10 per cent of
the roads made up of city streets.
The common superstition that a
person handling toads will get
warts on his hands is untrue.
