TRAFFIC DEATH BACKGROUND FOR Aid to Meaaty Even milady's lipstick case presented a challenge to industrial finish engineers. Their task was to find a finish that would not be da naged every time the user took the top off. They solved the problem by developing special finishes that withstand constant friction and the natural moistt*re of a hand. The resulting finishes also keep their new look longer. The millionth U S. traffic fatality probably will occur in December, the National Safety Council estimates--unless drivers and pedestrians unite to postpone the datevn. « The Council, national clearinghouse of accident statistics, says that a careful check of the records shows that 963,360 persons had died in traffic accidents at the end of 1950. % Even a 5 per cent increase over the 1950 toll of 35.000 traffic dead, if sustained through the year, would mark the millionth victim for December. The possibility of such an increase was threatened by the death toll for January alone, which went up 17 per cent. "At this rate, the nation may give itself; a terrible Christmas present this year," said Ned H. Dearborn, president of the Council-. r : ' I'lfM Pergonal Pledg* . ' Mr. Dearborn was quick to point out. however, that the fateful date can be postponed Several months if every motorist and pedestrian makes a personal pledge to avoid only one accident-- the one that involves him. A nationwide educational campaign behind the slogan "Don t YOU Be One in a Million" already is underway, according to the Council, and it is hoped that everyone in the nation can be made "million conscious." "We fear the atom bomb, but the 'auto bomb' already has gone off in our midst," Mr. Dearborn, said. Lists Tea CoauaMdments Tou won't be one in a million the Council says, if you follow these ten commandments of the good driver: 1. He keeps his car in safe condition. 2. He drives only when sober, and never to great weariness. 3. His mind does not wonder, for safe driving keeps a man busy. 4. He keeps always to the speed which gives perfect control. 5. He passes intersections and grade crossings with care. 6. To children and pedestrains he gives thought, for over them he has the power of life and death. 7. He obeys the law of the land, knowing obedience may increase his years. 8. For the hazards of driving in the night, he makes allowance. 9. Though his soul be tired, he ; remembers that courtesy is the first law of self-preservation. 10. When he'goes on foot, he remembers thef Golden Rule. ON BLACK ROUND FOI LICENSE CARDS Secretary of State Edward J. Barrett has announced a change, effective immediately, in the processing of state driver licenses. In tlife future, data on the license will be in white on a black, background. At present, the wording appears in black on a white card. The change, Mr. Barrett said, was made for purposes of efficiency and to lesson the opportunity for .fraudulent use of licenses. he new process will eliminate a complete work operation and speed up issuance of licenses. The black on white card has ih the past, according to law enforcement officers,- made it easy for minors to change the data te advance their age and many criminals found it convenient for the purpose of concealing their identity. A white on 'a black card is expected to make it almost impossible to alter the new license.
