Passenger Safety
 Award For B & M
Has Twelve-Year Record of Having Operated 94OS,-
 OOl, ,OOO Miles in l2 Years Without Fatality

< Boston, May 20.-For having op- eratcd it's passenger trains 9 9,40S,O01,- 900 passenger miles in 12 years with out a single fatality to a passenger in a passenger train accident, the Boston and Maine railroad last night was formally recognized as one of the outstanding railroads of the country in passenger safety at din- Ter of the National Safety Council in Chicago.
 The Boston and Maine's passenger safety record was surpassed by only three of the seven railroads so rec. ognized, and it led all the New Eng land railroads from January 1, 1917 to January l.. 1881, the award showed. The. seven railroads in order of their standing were: Southern Pa cif1c (Pacific Lines), Baltimore & Ohio. Erie, Boston and Maine, Ches- areake & Ohio, Santa Fe and Boston and, Albany.
 President Edward s. French of the Boston and Maine last night issued notice of copgratulation to all those who assisted in making the Boston and Maine's remarkable record poSsi- bic. The notice said:
 Tt is a matter of great satisfac- ton to learn that the National Safety council has been able to honor this railroad as the New England carrier leading all others in safety of passen- ger operations. Our record is clear since 1918. Such performance is indeed a tribute to the officers and employees, especially to those in the operating department. They have reasonNto be very proud of it. It re- fleets credit also on other depart nlents, which have to do with mak- ing sure that the equipment is main- tained at proper standards.
 Ut Is also a matter of extreme satisfaction to note that since 1928
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-05-20

Boston and Maine railroad employees have reduced py 65 per cent the casualty rate (killed and injured) among themselves, and in 1880 estab- lished a new low casualty rate record mark of 11.02 per million man hours worked"
 President French was unable to be in Chicago to accept the special award from c. w. Berquist, pres iGent of the National Safety council, but Assistant General Manager P. E. Pfeifer and F. R. Bradford, director oi safety and fire protection of the Boston and Maine, were in attend ance at the Chicago dinner last night to accept for the railroad.
 In making the awards, the head of the National Safety council point ed out that for 14 consecutive years, the period from 1917 to 1880 inclu- sive, 68 class railroads of the United States operated with clear records Ono passengers killed in train accidents). In the aggregate, he pointed out, this represents a total of 51,29S,265,00O passenger miles, which is equivalent to a pass epger making 277 round trips from the earth to the sun; or at a speed -of 50 miles per hour, equals 117,119 years of continuous travel.

Buries 26 Of 28 Soldiers Who Died
 Here Past Year
Annual Report of Finance Officer Walter Angle Shows
 Great Amount of Work Done By Organization
 \ Treasury Exhausted Hearty Response to Poppy ~ Sale Awaited s.

Corp Coyle post of the American Legion rendered military services to 26 out of the 28 war veterans buried since May 1, 1880. in Water bury, Walter l.. Angle, finance ofh- cer of the Legion states in his an- nilal report on the relief fund of the Legion. Of these 26 veterans, only three were members of the Le- zion, the report shows. The relief fund, which is made possible through the annual sale of peoples just before Memorial day each year Is practically exhausted due largely to the Legion's general relief work. The committee officers in charge of the sale of peoples this year include William Dillon. chairman. Wallace Inglis secretary.
 Following is MT Inglis' report:
 Dear friends: We are submitting at this time our annual report of our relief fund. The principal item of income for this fund comes from the sale of peoples. just beore Mem- orial day each year. During this past year the demands on this rund were so great that we were forced to ap- peal to our members and friends for contributions, which were very gen. erously given.
 All our relief funds are carried in a separate account and financial statement is published each year. We feel that the general public who con- tribute through the purchase of peoples is entitled to know what use is made of this money, which is ex- pended without regard for the par ticular affiliations of the applicant.
 For expenses connected with the burial and care of the graves of de- ceased soldiers. we expended $646- .12.. Out of 2S veterans buried since May l, 1880, the American Legion has rendered military honors to 26. two being buried by other organiza- tions. Out of this number only 5 were members of our post.
 The general relief work, we have expended $2,182.91. The larger part of this amount was for unemploy- ment relief and was expended as wages to veterans r on temporary work. which Is the same principle on which the city committee oper- ates. Part of this amount was for food. milk and clothing for veterans children. Being a financial statement it does not include large quantities of clothing which was donated and distributed without costing us any. thing.
 Another item of expense to which we call your attention is the amount

ing cups and assorted medals will go to both individual and team victors. The local nest has high hopes of bringing some back to this city.
 In addition large number of local Falcon members and their friends will journey down to wit ness the outdoor events and to urge local competitors on to victory. Many from here will take part in a parade to be conducted through the main highways of New Britain on Sunday afternoon, May 31st. About ten thousand are expected to march.
 Guests will enjoy themselves at social functions during the evenings. On the last night banquet will be conducted, at which prizes will be awarded to victors. Guests will in- clude the Polish general consul of New York, Dr Starzynski, national Falcon head, and various other dig nitaries from this and other states.

spent on hospital cases: this was for transportation to hospitals and examining boards and temporary relief to disabled veterans waiting hospitalization whose cases had not yet been service connected and who were not receiving any compensa- tion. The government allows free disqualification to all veterans, but due to the congested condition of all government hospitals it is frequently necessary for veteran to wait weeks or even months, especially II his case is not service connected. We have been forced to transfer money from every available source and to borrow in order to meet the demands on us. May we ask your continued support this year. in orr der that our poppy sale may be the largest ever?
