Although aircraft accidents in Alaska and else- where have increased alarmingly in the past sixty days, we feel that a word in defense of flying is in order. Accidents increase — but so does the number of passenger-miles flown. And we are pleased to report that, despite the unhappy mnews reports, flying is actually becoming safer. The fatality incidence de- creases with every passenger mile flown, according to relable statistics. That we do not lose faith in flying, we offer for your careful study a recent editorial from the DES- ERET NEWS: “HOW SAFE IS FLYING? ACTURIAL STUDIES TELL “The brilliant modern day safety record of the airplane once again is being victimized by head- lines. “Last week a giant airliner with 50 persons aboard crashed in northern Colorado, killing every passenger and crew member. Eight days earlier a liner fell in the dark jungles of west Africa. with 39 persons aboard. And here in the Mountain West we have | learned of several crashes involving military planes or light private aircraft. “Lengthy and dramatic accounts of these tragic smashups tend to shatter the public's confidence in people are commuting between Los Angeles and San Francisco by airplane than by any other means of | a good crowd attending from early afternoon to late evening.
