SAFETY WORK
Vacation Safety Activities
of Conservation Dept.
First in Nation.

The Minnesota conservation depart
ment's program to make outdoor vaca-
tioning safe is attracting nationwide
attention and giving the state great
deal of valuable publicity, according to
Victor A. Johnston, director of Mimi
eSota Tourist bureau. Minnesota was
one of the first states in the Union to
luanch this sort of a program and
the public'S reaction to it has been
favorable from the start, he said.
The department has received many
letters from prospective visitors ask
ing for detailed information about
sanitary conditions and the safety of
the highways, boats, and other resort
equipment. Extensive news and other
comment by the press throughout the
country further emphasize the public's
appreciation.
Regarded as conclusive PROOF of its
effectiveness are the record of fewer
accidents in connection with outdoor
vacation activities in face of increas-
ing numbers of vacationists each year
since the program was launched
Marked public support is credited with
being a major factor, particularly the
active part played by a statewide
committee of AZ in promoting safety
education.

Like DRINKS,
NOT LICENSE
258 Car Drivers Lose Permits
Because Liquor was More
Attractive.

Two hundred and fifty eight morton
lists, the largest number in any single
month since the origin of the Mime
sofa drivers license law, suffered out
right revocation of their drivers Ii
censes during July because of their
fondness for intoxicating liquors.
Officials of the highway deparmtent
who made the announcement, asserted
it is significant that the unprecedented
number of convictions for drunken
driving should have occurred during
the month which recorded the years
most startling increase in traffic fatal
tiles.
In all, 263 drivers licenses were re-
voked during July, the third largest
monthly list in the history of the IL
cense law. Of these 252 were for
drunken driving and eight for habitual
inebriacy.
During the same month Minnesota
streets and highways were the scenes
of traffic tragedies which claimed SO
lives. This was an increase of 81
deaths over the AZ fatalities recorded
in July of 1910, when only 1877 drivers
licenses were revoked for drunken driv-
mig and one for inebriacy. Revoca-
tons for drunken driving and inebriacy
have totalled 841 so far this year, with
269 more suspended for the same
cause,
