Description: Death mulls over traffic death information, and begins to do some calculations in his head for how many lives might end this winter season. A traffic cop holds a stop sign while pointing at the number 90, indicating that the car in front of him is going to fast. In Cheboygan, Michigan they are taking up the parking meters since the frigid weather makes the oil in the meters to stiff, rendering the machines inoperable.

Ho-hum - by time I add toll of November - December with Thanksgiving and other holidays weekends plus football and regular, and Fall-Winter hazards to usual all travel. First 10 months of 1952 traffic accident deaths in Indiana 1024. State police will use their new electric timing device first this week around school zones. School. Then Saturdays Sundays on roads with high accident frequency spots. Howd you like that? We take them in for the winter. Cheboygan Michigan. Their icy winters chill oil and meters wont work.
