Accidents were ACCIDENT the second most important causes of ~ PICTURE deaths in men, heart disease being first. On the other hand, industrial plants re- duced employes’ injury frequency rates 38 per cent. in two | years, and railway crossing accidents declined 10 per cent. In the past decade, industry has made amazing strides in preventing accidents and in lessening their severity. ‘machinery. The larger part, however, has resulted from a ‘new spirit of safety first that has been instilled into work- “ers and management alike. Precisely the opposite has oc- curred on our highways. Recklessness grows, rather than slackens; improvements in cars breed more deaths and in- juries, not less. What has been done in industry can be done with auto- mobile driving. Just as industrial management disciplines the heedless worker who endangers others, so must the state discipline the heedless driver. If industrial workers can learn the gospel of accident prevention “and take it to heart so that it becomes a part of their mental operations, ‘80 can the automobile driver learn care, competence and courtesy.

A man of keen intellect he was quick to recognize that which was good and to encourage it with praise and assistance. He was just as quick to recognize that which was bad and had the courage and y spirit to fight it with all his faculties. He was one of that decreasing group of older residents ‘the community who could remember when Dallas was a hmunity unto itself. His interest in life and in men led him to contribute articles often to this newspaper on sub- jects of ldcal, State and National importance. ~The plain signature “Morris” at the end of any article was the signal to the reader that here was something worthy of reading and worthy of thought. The subject might be of controversial nature and readers might not agree with the writer but they never failed to respect his - knowledge, logic and reason. Those opposed to him found him a worthy antagonist who called forth their best reason- ing and mettle.

Among the men of this community he stood out as a rugged rock upon which age had left its furrowing mark and imprint but whose beauty in strength of intellect remained firm and fine to the end. logic in discussions of the transportation problem. It is an inescapable fact, no matter TRANSPORT FACTS the railroad, the rail transport is the back- bone of the nation’s industries. It is also a fact that there is room for busses, trucks, waterways, oil pipe lines and other means of transport. The problem is how to correlate these agencies so that each may be run on a profitable basis and serve the shipping and traveling public well. The public interest is the main thing at stake. The people want fast, economical and adequate transport, at reasonable rates. They want greater industries, such as . the railroad, to maintain a high standard of purchasing and employment. Until the national government perfects a transport policy that affects all interstate carriers impar- tially in regulation and taxation, the public interest is not served and the stockholders and employes of the railroad are unjustly discriminated against. 1 Part of this has been accomplished in improved guarding of | its to this office.

Anti-Venom Serum Saves Child’s Life In a letter to the State Department of Health an up state physician re- ports the saving of the life of a little 8 year old girl, who had been bitten on the leg by a rattlesnake while pick- ing huckleberries on the mountain side. She was rushed to the nearest town, givn first aid by a state nurse, and the doctor was fortunate in having a single package of anti-venom serum. By promptly applying it, he was en- abled to report within a few days, that the little miss would recover from the effects of the bite. In recounting his experience, he ordered another Supply of the serum, so that he might be pre- pared for any future emergencies of a like nature. 7 While there are many things that may be done when a person is bitten by a venomous snake in Pennsylvania, the one absolutely safe thing to do, is to be prepared to use anti-venom serum, whose results are well auth- enticated by long practice and exper) a great sum to set over against the ence, The cost of a package is not fact that it may save a human life, |occasion was the third ‘Home Day.
