We hear he went to his . Eventful Trip Erling Olsen just returned in November from a wonderful trip abroad. He spent most of his time in Oslo, Norway, at the home of his sister, Ruth Fjeld. Due to the fact that Erling was there and that Dick Osfce*by w<*» stationed close by, they both attended numerous parties in their honor. Coincidence played a big part in their meeting, as you'll remember reading in our column a few weeks ago. Dick stayed at the home of his grandmother, Mrs. Ragnhild, and his aunt. Else Osterby. Erling spent some time y Marie and Gregory Burgf were guests of Mr. Burg's mother, Mi 8. Geraldine Burg of Chicago, a couple of weeks ago. Their visit was saddened by the news that Marie's aunt had passed away suddenly. Welcome home t& Evelyn and Bud Burg and children, who just returned from their trip to California. Mrs. Mary Byrnes was heroine of what could have been a near calamity last week. It seems that her Tom and Frank Rouke "Operation Reindeer"- 4s the name of the current campaign CARE is conducting in Illinois to send 100,000 packages at $1 each to needy families in Western Europe and South America for Christmas. The campaign developed when the Foreign Operations Administiation, under Harold Sta^sen, released to .CARE 5,500,000 pounds of surplus foods to be distributed oveiseas. CARE has packaged the foods into elevenpound parcels of beef in gravy, evaporated milk, shortening, rice, sugar, dried beans and prunes. Because of FOA cooperation, each package costs only $1, to help cover the cost of packing and shipping. Residents of Illinois, as well as clubs, churches and schools, are asked to send their dollars '•"">ly to CARE, Chicago, headqu*.. „..s for the state campaign. The deadline is Dec. 15, to insure Christmas delivery of the packages abroad. Because this is surplus food, recipients .cannot be designated; CARE mission chiefs will select families on the basis of greatest need^Wherever possible, packages will go to flood victims in England. Holland and Chile, to earthquake victims in Greece and to escapees in Germany. Other countries to receive food are Finland, France, Italy, Norway. Yugoslavia, Bolivia, Brazil, Equa- . dor, Haiti, Panama and Peru. In keeping with the spirit o? a personal holiday greeting, parcels will go to individuals and families rather than institutions. Every parcel will bear the name and add7ess of the donor, who will receive a receipt from CARE. For those contributions of $5 or more, donors will receive receipts signed by the recipients. OF SUPER SPEEDS TO CRASHES OUTLINED The direct relationship of "super- speeds" on the highways to rising tolls of death and injury in crashes in rural areas was outlined by a traffic safety authority who declared "drivers ihust learn to take it easy or the open highway if they want to live longer." A downward turn In the toll of accidents, now near -record levels, cannot be expected un-* til average speeds on rural highways diminish, according to Thomas N. Boate, accident prevention department manager ot the Association of Casuality and Surety companies. Deaths and injuries have increased in rural areas In direct proportion to the steady climb of speedometer needles in open highway travel in recent years, he contended. Not iihtlT the average driver is deterred from traveling at excessive speeds because he fears loss of his driving license or severe punishment in the courts for this major offense against public safety, will a general improvement In the rural accident situation occur, Mr. Boate said. Fear of an accident has a momentary rather than a lasting effect on a driver's conduct at the wheel, and those who are normally law abiding often "go along" with the habitual speeders at paces far faster than the law allows. The resulting accidents in which speeding figures thus continue to account for at least one-third to one-half of the rural deaths and almost as large a proportion of injuries, in the opinion of this expert. Mr. Boate called attention to the punishment meted out recently to «a speeding driver in an eastern state who was sentenced to serve two and a half to five years and fined $1,000 DR.

The erratic driving of this moto: ist resulted in his car touching the bumper of another vehicle and sending it across the center island of a parkway into a headon collision with, two other cars. The guilty driver, who had been weaving in and out of traffic at high speed was denounced by the court as "an unnatural person who should not be at large in "society" because he could 1 cause untold trouble .to a lot of people." Mr. Boate said he also had in mind as "adequate punishment" for speeders the action taken by another state in revoking or suspending the licenses of nearly 1.400 drivers who were found guilty in 1952 of speeding over 75 miles an hour, although the speed limit is 55, "Forthright action of this kind helps to deter the urge to speed," he declared, "but unfortunately there isn't enough of it to make a lasting impression on drivers generally and the way they act behind the wheel." He added that in 1952, according to a survey made by the association, only about 75,000 drivers lost their licenses temporarily or permanently for speeding offenses. "The higher the speed permitted the higher the death rate is the way the experience generally goes," Boate declared. "The public's conscience must be fully aroused to the growing toll on the rural highways, where from seven to eight of every ten deaths occur because high speeds can't be controlled in spl<t-second emergencies." He cited the study of rural fatal accidents in one southwestem state 'with plenty of wide open spaces" to bear djut his contention that speed is by far «% i 4j the biggest killer of all on the open highway. Twenty-eight per cent of all fatal rural accidents were head-on collisions "in which speed definitely ^'resulted in lack of control on the part of one or both drivers," Mr. Boate said. In 29 percent more of the fatal accidents in open country, tlie cars ran off the roadway, and four percent more overt urne^l on the highway. These accidents, he added, are usually the types in which speed is the predominant factor or contributes greatly to the severity of the mishap. Eight percent more of the fat.il accidents resulted from hitting a fixed object -- still aoother type in which speed te often blamed. • "The speed limit of this state is 60 miles an hour," commented Mr. Boate. "But I am certain that the vast majority of the vehicles in these fatal accidents were going that fast or faster. It's no wonder that nearly 70 percent of, that state's fatal accidents can be traced almost definitely to the speed factor. 'When drivers in thar^tnd other states learn to take it easier and are thus better prepared to keep control of their cars in a sudden emergency on • the open road, fewer of them will be killed and maimed and they will cause far fewer deaths and injuries.
