Refugio.— Drivers are being ask-
ed to drive carefully during heayy
holiday traffic both in Refugio and
on the highways by Sheriff R. M.
Harsdorff.
Statistically, the American Au-
tomobile Association reports, De-
cember is open season on pedes-
trians.
“Each year we kill 8,600 pedes-
trians,” Claud McCamment of the
AAA said. “December is the worst
month of all with 1,100.”
Each day in this country more
than 90 persons die because of the
automobile and the fellow driving
it.
“Remember,” McCamment said,
“The holidays.”
Miss Patty Stephens is the holi-
day guest of her mother, Mrs. Lina
Stephens. She is a teacher at Odes-
sa and will return for the opening
of school January 4.
Mrs. J. E. Bauer and daughter,
Martha Anne, were in Rockport
Tuesday for a shower honoring Miss
Dolly Lee Hart of Rockport, bride-
elect. Mrs. Roy Hinton was the
hostess.
Mrs. Orra B. McDowell, field
worker for the State Department
of Public Welfare, left Wednes-
day for Yantis where she will visit
with members of her family during
her annual leave. She will return
to her office in the County Court-
house January 4.

Q—Through an oversight, I paid
my GI insurance premium just be-

to an end. But I’m afraid the

after the grace period expires.
Will my insurance lapse?

on which the premium was paid.

Direct or hidden costs of street
and highway accidents caused by
too much speed and careless driv-
ing and walking habits are drain-
ing nearly 590 from the average
American family’s purse every
year.
Ip 31 states the costs are above
the national average of 589.60 for
a family of four. The figure runs
above 5100 for the average family
group in 17 of these states. And it

Miss Huddleston
Named Chairman
Of County Drive
Dallas.—Miss Emma Huddleston,
County Treasurer, Refugio, has
been named Refugio County chair-
man for the Texas United Defense
Fund, the state-wide group which
will sponsor USO’s campaign for
5775,000 in Texas this year.
Miss Huddleston’s appointment
was announced today by D. K.
Woodward, Jr., Dallas attorney,
who is State Campaign Chairman
of the forthcoming fund appeal to
carry on the familiar services of
the USO to the young men and
young women of the nation’s arm-
ed forces.
A major portion of the Texas
goal, as in 1952, will be included in
Community Chest campaigns
throughout the state this fall.
Rathbone expects holiday hunt-
ing to swell the growing supply of
buckskin and reports size and qual-
ity of the hides improving as the
hunting activity moves south where
he declares “the big bucks roam.”
Refugio hunters who wish to send
hides may address them to the
Austin Taxidermist Studio, Austin,
Texas. They should be marked “For
TB Patients.”
Some motor freight lines also
have cooperated in the collection
by carrying the hides without
charge when they were advised by
the hunters they were for use by
the TB patients, Rathbone said.

The toll of the highways may reach 40,000 killed and 2,000,000
injured. These are stark statistics in themselves. But there's another
toll, too!
Every American family of four, whether they have had an accident
or not—or even if they don’t own an automobile—will pay an average
of $100 a year in hidden costs as the result of speeding, reckless driving. This
is the nation’s highway accident bill, to be paid through increased taxes,
wage losses, mounting insurance costs, medical and hospital bills, property
damage and other charges. The total will run to nearly $4,000,000,000—•
enough to build a city of 200,000 homes costing $20,000 each. Believe it or
not, there is an average economic loss of about $95,000 for every person
killed.
This stupendous waste can be curbed only when the American public
becomes sufficiently aroused to demand concerted, nation-wide action—
more law enforcement, n^re highway patrols, and more teeth in penalties
—to rid the highways ot devil-may-care drivers and moronic accident
repeaters. Get back of any safety movement in your community. Think
and talk safety.
When death, maiming and destruction take over the highways, some-
one pays—and that someone is you—it’s all of us.
the overall costs of accidents to
American families 5190,000,000 a
year. This amounts to about 51.25
additional per person, or 55 per
family of four annually, on top of
the 1952 costs of nearly 590 per
family.”

to Paul H. Blaisdell, public safety
director of the Association of Cas-
ualty and Surety. Companies, who
has made a state-by-state study
of the economic losses in automo-
bile accidents and how they affect
every American family.
$1 Per Week
Families in all but five states are
laying out an average of more
than 51 a week as their share of
the direct or indirect costs of high-
way accidents, even though speci-
fic bills for these losses are never
sent to their homes, Mr. Blaisdell
pointed out. The charges are pass-'
ed on to the average family
rate of about 595,000 for every per-
son killed in an accident,” said
Mr. Blaisdell. “In 1952 there were
38,000 fatalities, which, besides the
huge loss of human life, entailed
economic costs running to nearly
54,000,000,000 that we must all pay
for.
“If the motor vehicle death toll
exceeds 40,000 in 1953 or 1954, which
seems likely unless drastic steps
are taken to stop the ever increas-
through increased taxes, wage
losses, costs of insurance, medical
and hospital bills, automobile and
property damage repair charges
and other items, he said, whether
or not the accidents they are pay-
ing for reached into their own
family circle.
“The average American family
is totally unaware that the high-
way accidents they read about
every day represent economic
waste that eventually they are
called upon to help pay for at the

Refugio.—F. N. Chiles has join-
ed hundreds of other Texas hunt-
ers in sending deer hides as
Christmas gifts for about 2,500 pa-
tients in four state TB hospitals.
Chiles, who had bagged a 7-point
buck and a 9-point buck, donated
both hides. His son, F. N. Chiles,
Jr., mailed the hides to Austin
last week.
More than 400 deer hides had
already been received for use in
leather work last week, L. M. Rath-
bone of the Austin Taxidermist
Studio, reported. He is donating
tanning services and has paid ship-
ping costs on hides sent to him
collect.
The leather will be used in oc-
cupational therapy at the hospitals.
