1958 -National Safety Congress fernks. that a high percentage of arnfr^ are related to personality problems. Dr. Richard Hoffman of New York dis agrees with the theory that i^rtam people are ^accident prone." He takes the very Practical view that the chief causes of acodoits are maltcmiaa. fatigue and careless ness. But, he says, a troubled mind causes inattention, and anger produces carelessness. The point made by aS three of these emi nent psychiatrists is that the ffaif of mind of the driver is an aU-important factor. The attitude of the man behind the wheel is what must concern us. Anger kills more motorists than blowouts--and anger can't be delected by safety inspections. Motorists pull to the side of the road if they are sleepy; perhaps they should likewise poll over when in inner turmoil. AH of n$ interested in safety, working as a team, have made same progress. The mile age death rate at the stan of this traffic safety campaign in 3946 was 9. Lag year it was down to 5-9. If the mileage death rate had remained at the 1946 level, 155,000 more people would have died in traffic acci dents last year alone. This is equal to the population of Raleigh, North Carolina. It is a great satisfaction--a very great satisfacnaa--to The Advertising Council to have been your partner all these years, and to have played even a snail part in prevent* ing so many American tragedies.
