TRAFFIC DEAI1[iS
IN JUNE TOTAL 30
The month of June recorded 30
motor vehicle traffic fatalities,
compared to 33 traffic deaths in
1948, reported James A. Pryde,
Washington State Patrol Chief.
The 30 deaths in June brought
the fatality score .in Washington
to 169 persons killed in traffic
accidents during the first six
months of this year. It repre-
sents a decrease of 117 per cent
from the 1948 figm'e of 203 per-
sons killed in the state.
Chief Pryde said that "the ele-
ment of human failure is respon-
sible for 90 per cent of all fatal-
ities. Speeding, inattention, fail-
ure to yield the right of way, im-
proper passing and wrong lane of
travel accounted for over 70 per
cent of the fatalities in the first
six months of 11949."
The answers to everyday
insurance problems*
By George Ellis and Walt
Bedmer, Insurance Ooun=elors
question: Why do I always have to
buy fire insurance for three year
periods when I buy other insur-
ance coverage for one year at a
time ?
Answer: It isn't a question of your
being forced to buy fire insurance
for three year periods. It's just
that the firs insurance companies
Imve worked out a plan whereby
you can obtain three years' pro-
tection at a cost of approximately
two and a half times what you'd
pay for a one 3,ear coverage. It's
easy to see that the wisest and
most economical way to buy your
fire insurance is on the three year
plan.
*If you'll address your own insur-
ance questions to this office, we'll
try to give you the correct answers
and there will be no charge or obll-
gttLan a[ ny kind.
