GOVERNOR CALLS
ORGANIZATIONS
TO help HIM

Governor Herbert R. O'Conor has
called on the Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission to enlist the aid OF every
civic. fraternal and other public group
Tn helm in a concerted drive against
accidents. and the week of October
9Th has been designated as Enlist
For Safety Week" in Maryland.
Supplementing an official Procla-
nation to the people OF Maryland
asking for their cooperation in an ac-
cident reduction campaign, the Gov
ernor declared: cit is appalling to
note that there has been an increase
nationally in traffic fatalities this
wear of II percent. This increase IN
deaths due to motor vehicle accidents
is a direct blow to our Defense Pro-
gram. Army and Navy men, as well
as defense workers, are being ruth
lessly killed on our highways simply
because of carelessness."
Continuing, he said: "Now is the
time to mobilize our people to fight
this war of accidents-a war that is
on our home front-a war that is kill
ing or Gripping innocent American
people. Certainly our people have not
become callous to the fact that men
vital to industry are being taken from
the ranks. It is the duty OF all men,
bers of Society to pledge their sup
mort to this increased activity for the
saving of valuable human ife."
"This coming week." the Cover
nor continued, "there will be assem-
bled in Chicago, 10000 delegates to
a National Convention to help wage
this fight. These men and women
have made a deep study of accident
prevention, and they will represent
all of us and will be the Commanding
Officers in this fight to save life. This
fight is vital to conserve life and not
to destroy it. The theme of this meet
ing will be Enlist For Safety and it
behooves each of us to do just that.
"The Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission must continue to call for
help in this battle for American in
dustry and for accident reduction. In
order that our vigilence will not re-
lax, they will endeavor to use every
means to remind the people that ac-
cidents must and can be prevented"
