stress in a local campaign.
All credit is given to public Off

how to reduce accidents and, given
necessary compliments of men.
money and materials, have proved
their competence. A plea is made
for such aid to be continued and
increased, If possible, that gains
made may not be lost.
Among the needs listed are peril
nent suggestions which we can ap-
ply to our own community and
act upon, not only as an organiza-
ton, but as individuals. Such needs
include the full use of traffic signs,
signals and markers, more adequate
traffic law enforcement, inclusion of
driver education in high school
courses and effective public educa-
ton through official agencies. Fiji
teen national groups have concurred
in this letter. When we have been
able to convince every resident of
Washington of his or her personal
responsibility when using streets and
walks we shall make progress to-
ward a real traffic safety.
