Between thirty-fi thousand and forty thousand are} killed, and over one hundred thousand are permanently in- jured—made _helple: hope! cripples by a machine which, when misused, becomes an_ in- strument of death and destruc- tion. It has been estimated that. bas- ed upon the accident figures for 1937 (tue latest year for complete figures are a from 7 a. m. to 1 a. m. each of the year, a w occurs eve seven seconds, a wrecker rui out to pull in a wrecked vehicle every twenty seconds, an ambu- lance follows the wrecker every fifty seconds, and from 10 a. m. to 6 p . m. a hearse carries an automobile victim to a grave every forty-five seconds. The nation was horrified when two years of the World War took 52,000 American lives, but tac same people do not seem to be so much concerned when they learn that highway accidents dur- ing the past two years of peace took over 70,000 Amcrican lives. Bringing this down to Florida, it is fodnd that it has one of the in proportion to population. among the sta the Union. According to the tional Safety Council, du 1937, 740 persons were killed Florida, one 12 hours; 2 900 were injured, one y minutes; there were 111,000 ac- one every five minutes -stimated that the Aospitali- zation cost for these injured dur- ing that year in Florida was ; four ERS’ LICENSE. $854,700, and that the property amounted to $4,440,000.
