NATIONAL SAFETY CAMPAIGN BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION The Nation is confronted with a rapidly rising accident toll. At the present rate, the total number of deaths from accidents this year will exceed 100,000. Traffic accidents alone caused 34,500 deaths in 1940, and thus far in the present year there has been an increase of seven- teen per cent in traffic fatalities. By taking a huge toll in life and property, accidents definitely linder our national defense effort. To insure nlaxinlum efficiency we must have maximum safety twenty-four hours a day--not only at work, but also on the highway, at home, everywilhere. The troubled times in which we live must not make us callous or indifferent to human suffering. These unusual times require unusual safety efforts. NOW, THEREFORE, I, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the officers and directors of the National Safety Council to mobilize its nation-wide resources in leading a concerted and intensified campaign against accidents, and do call upon every citizen, in public or private capacity, to enlist in this campaign and do his part in preventing wastage of human and material resources of the Nation through accidents. IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed. DONE at the City of Washington this 18 t h day of August in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-one, and of [SEAL] the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixty-sixth. FRANKLIN D ROOSEVELT By the President: CORDELL HULL Secretary of State. 278941--42 -PT. II -50 40 Stat. 755. 16 U.S. C. §C703- 711. August 18, 1941 [No. 25021 55 STAT.] [SEAL]
