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.
