More than 130 national organi-
zations, city and state officials,
safety councils and civic leaders
have joined forces with the
Council in the yearend cam-
paign. Together they sock to
create in the public mind an
awareness of the special holiday
hazards, and to enlist voluntary
cooperation on the part of every
individual to hold accidents to a
minimum this Christmas.
The Council emphasized that
the campaign is the final effort
of the year to hold the 1947 traf-
fic death toll below the 1946 to-
tal of 33,700. At the end of the
first nine months of this year,
there was a small reduction in
traffic deaths—4 per cent—from
the same period of 1946. But the
final quarter of the year always

“Christmastime is family time,

closer the most fundamental ties
that bind us together—truly a

Dearborn, president of the Coun-
cil.
“But it is a season to be wary,
as well. The tragedy of an ac-

dead repatriation program if
they folioy four rules, Lt. Col.
S. H. Partridge, Chief of the
American Graves Registration
Division here, said today.
1. Fill out navy, and army
questionnaires accurately.
_2. Return these forms to
Washington promptly.
3. If mailing address has
changed since the deceased en-
tered the service, send the pres-
ent address to the Memorial Di-
vision, Office of the Quarter-
master General, Washington 25,
D. C.
4. If there has been a change
in the next of kin, either by
death or by the remarriage of
the widow of the deceased sold-
ier, sailor, or marine, that infor-
mation,too, should be sent to the
same authority.
“Unless the next of kin is cer-
tain that he can correctly fill
out the questionaire he should
ask the assistance of his state
or county veterans service off-
icer,” Partridge said. Many
forms are being returned to
Washington that have to be sent
back for correction. This means
more correspondence and, of
course, delay.
“It is often assumed that be-
cause the veterans administra-
tion or some other govermental
bureaus has the same informa-
tion. This is sefdom true. If
there is any doubt as to the in-
formation the Quartermaster
General has, it is well to supply
that offic with new data.”
Livestock shipments bounced
46 per cent above September
levels in October*—but failed by
1 per cent to reach October 1946
totals, The University of Texas
Bureau of Business Research re-
vealed.
Safety Conference
At Midland Delayed
Largely responsible for main-
taining the monthly hike were
stimulated shipments of cattle
and calves, each up 63 per cent
during the month. Shipments of
hogs increased 8 percent, and the
only September-to October set-
back was the 30 per cent slump
in shipments of sheep.
Texas shipments for the
month reached 12,988 carloads,
with cattle shipments totaling
9,072 carloads to make up the
bulk of loadings. Shipments of
calves cotaled 2,422 carloads,
535 carloads, and sheep 959 car-
loads.

The West Texas Industrial
Safety Conference scheduled for
Midland in January, has been
postponed, according to A. F.
Allen, president of the Texas
Safety Association.
The conference is one of sever-
al regional meetings held annual-
ly by the Industrial Section of
the Association. The first reg-
ional conference for this year
was held in Beaumont In Novem-
ber.
Allen said the meeting was
postponed in order that all ef-
forts could be devoted to the
planning of the Ninth Annual
Texas Safety Conference in Dal-
las, March 19-20.
The Annual Conference will
be held in conjunction with Gov-
ernor Jester’s Highway Safety
Conference.
“There is every indication that
not only will the Annual Confer-
ence be the largest in attendan-
ce, but the most interesting and
worthwhile in its history,” Allen
said.
