Texas motorists will face a
critical period in driving next
week as thousands of persons take
to the highways for trips on the
Labor Day weekend.
The Texas Department of Public
Safety predicts 1hat 33 persons
will Mem traffic accidents in
Texas during the 72-hour period
extending from 12:01 a.m. Aug. 31
through 11:59 p.m. Sept. 2. The
prediction came from N. K.
Wocrner, manager of Statistical
Services section of the department.
In accord with the prediction,
Col. Homer Garrison, Jr., de-
partment director, has alerted
state forces to be prepared to cope
with the increased highway travel.
He said the department's en-
forcement program wit) be
strengthened for the holiday
week-end in an effort to remove
dangerous drivers from our streets
and highways.
"This enforcement program,"
he said, "will be closely co-
ordinated with local law en-
forcement in countics and cities
throughout the state. Enforce-
ment's greatest help will come
from the drivers themselves who
observe our traffic laws and safely
operate their automobiles in ac-
cordance with traffic and other
conditions they encounter."
The predicted number of deaths
for the three day weekend is four
greater than the 29 killed for the
same period last year.
