So struction on the equipment of the declares an insurance company deal- 25-pounder field piece, followed by a ing in preferred risks. This week, in a near-by city, a safety campaign period of gun drill under Sgt. Black- is taking place. Cars are being well. checked for mechanical defects. But is this the real cause of accidents? In March, 1950, the Harvard Law Re- view in an article on accident causes said, "Studies make it clear that contrary to widespread popular im- pression mechanical defects plan an insignificant part in causing auto- mobile accidents. Thus, only 3.5% of all cars involved in accidents have been shown to have mechanical de- fects. And mechanical inspection of vehicles has yielded disappointing results in promoting safety". The truth is that accidents are due to the HUMAN element. This same article says: "It is not by chance that ten percent of the working popula- tion may be responsible for seventy- five percent of the accidents". Who are the people who have the acci- dents? In 1948 the Eno Foundation at New York University said, as a result of a study, "Accident repeat- ers, as a group, are almost twice as cocky about their tolerance to alco- hol as non-repeaters". We people of Huron are as interested in safe highways as we are in good high- ways. We are, therefore, interested in safe automobiles. But we are more interested in safe drivers. That is one reason why we have public support for the law that declares alcoholic beverages are not to be sold in Huron County. —Advt. Attended Operetta In Hart House • Mr. and Mrs, A. R.
