Traffic Accidents
Exceed War
Casualties
BOSTON.—During the last year of
normal car usage, more Americans
were killed in traffic accidents than
the total number who died in our
Armed Forces during the first two-
and-a-third years of the war, A. F.
Dickerson, General Rlectric Lighting
division manager, told members of
the International Municipal Signal j
Association at their annual meeting
here. Traffic casualties during the
same periods were ten times greater |
than those suffered in pursuit of
the war.
"With more mileage per gallon of
gasoline predicted for post-war cars,
plus more widespread travel and a
rise in car ownership, there prob-
ably will be at least a fifty per cent
increase in mileage by 1950," he
said. "Such a congestion of cars
will result in a great national fiasco
unloM we plan now to prevent it.
One of the best remedies is good
lighting, a problem to which en-
gineers will give immediate aten-
tion after the war.
"Sixty per cent of our 1941 traffic-
deaths occurred after dark, despite
the fact that only one-third of the
country's travel is dene at night.
By properly lighting main city thor-
oughfares, which represent only ten
per cent of the street mileage but
account for half of all urban acci-
dents, we could save three thousand
lives annually. Lighting the proven
death traps outside the city, which j
are mostly suburban in nature,!
would save another three thousand
lives.
"The life-saving value of good
lighting has proved itself wherever
tried," he continued. "Detroit's night-
to-day fatal accidents were reduced
from a ratio of 7.3 to one to 1.4 to
one after relighting. During the two
years following the lighting of New
Jersey's continuous highways, night
fatalities dropped seventy-six per
cent."
Mr. Dickerson, widely known for
his spectacular lighting achievement*
is chairman of the Street and Traffic
Safety Lighting Bureau's executive
committee.
Crisp Greens
A watery salad, or a limp one,
wins no friends. So wash green®
and drain carefully before you put
them in the refrigerator to crisp.
Whethei you tear or cut them, make
salad-making a last-minute job—-oth-
erwise you open the way to vitamin
loss. And make the pieces largiitti-
bite size, say Westinghouse home
economists echoing the sentiments of
the menfolks—no long ribbon*,
please.
THE TREAT YOU'VE WAITED FOR!
Have it where you can count
on good food and good music.
It will be a very enjoyable
evening for that date with
your serviceman!

Present War Department plans are
to establish Separation Classification
Sections in all General and Regional
Hospitals throughout the United
States in addition to those operating
in designated Separation Centers..
Eighteen such centers have been
established by the War Department,
five of which are now in operation
as Pilot Installations. These five are
Fort Dix, N. J., Fort Sheridan, 111.,
Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Fort Mc-
herson, Ga., Presidio of Monterey,
Cal. Other centers such as Fort
Bliss, Texas, and Camp Chaffee, Ark.,
in the Eighth Service Command,
have been designated but await op-
eration orders from the War Depart-
ment.
An officer from the Adjutant Gen-
eral's Department has arrived at
Regional Hospital, Camp Swift, for
duty as Separation and Classification
Officer and will interview each of-
ficer and enlisted man prior to sep-
aration or discharge and will pro-
vide each with a copy of their Army
