Dec. II = On December ', 1942- the anniversary of the start of the war-there were 1O2 Americans &C., cidentally killed in their homes, on the highways and in factories.
 A nationwide survey of home front casualties on Pearl Harbor Day" = the first such survey ever made on a normal working day" in the United States, showed that trafflc accidents, despite gasoline and tire rationing, still lead the na- ton in number of fatalities. Of the 102 reported accidentally killed, 43 were killed in traffic accidents.
 As compared with the 2,343 fatal ities at Pearl Harbor, this shows there is another Pearl Harbor" in the United States approximately every g days; and If the 960 listed as missing at Pearl Harbor are counted as fatalities, accidents ap- proximately every B days account for as many Americans killed as did the Japs in that sneak attack.
 Bennett Moore, vice-president of Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, which conducted this survey with the aid of a nationwide reporting service, pointed out that the 102 deaths reported total far less than the daily average of approximately 281 persons established in 1941.
 "F'or that we are deeply grateful, he said. America needs every man, woman and child to help win this war. And if December T, 1942, the day we picked to survey fatal accl- dents, is far below normal, I can only say that l hope every day will

IO7 Fatal Accidents on American Highways, in Fac

see c lesseningfi of the fearful toll that accidents take among Amer jeans.
 Compilation of this Home Front Casualty List by Liberty Mutual on the first anniversary of the start of the war is made as part of our cam paign to smash the 7th column-the carelessness that causes accidents and is designed to dramatize the damaging effoct that accidents are having on the war effort.
 we made no attempt to tabulate the literally thousands of accidents that are not fatal, and we realize that many accidents occurring today later will be known as 'atal acci- dents.'" Too, we know that our re- port, thorough as 1t is, cannot be complete since this is the first sur- vey of this kind and there is no ex- isting machinery for reporting with in "A hours every accident in the nation, however remote from metro politan centers 1t may be.
 But we know the 7th columns toll is very real, as evidenced by esti- mates that in this year of war, 45,- 900 American workers have lost their lives by accident, and that compares with the total casualties of 58,307 to our armed forces as reported on December 2, 1922, by the Office of War Information.
 "This figure, of course, included wounded and missing-6,335 of them wounded. And on the production front, there have been more than 4,500,000 workers wounded this year "Our survey shows 43 killed in
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-12-11

traffic accidents, We made ID E| fort to tabulate the thousands cI automobile accidents in which per- sons were injured, or in which there was only damage to automobiles.
 "But this death toll shows how savage are the blows struck by tiie '7th Column on our highways every day at our vital links of tranEpoT~ tation and communication -our au- tomobiles. The machines and rlii1- Der destroyed in accidents is irre- placahle.
 And we hope this effort on the part of Liberty Mutual will mako Americans aware of the threat ni the '7th Column n'-carelessness. Da1s- ger from this Column is infinitely more today than from the saboteuir of the 5th Column, and harms orll war effort more than all the rumol spreaders of the 9th Column"
 The state with the highest num- Der of fatal accidents reported va: California with 18, and eight wert traff1c accidents, Of the 18 killed three were war workers. In the nation as whole, the to- tai number of workers killed was 33 Others, including housewives, sol diers, students and members of pro fessions, totaled 69.
 Second highest number of acci dents occurred in Pennsylvania. witt 13 fatalities. In Chicago there wa, only one fatal accident-a workel was killed when he fell from stree. car.
 Twenty states did not report any fatalities. They were Alabama, Col orado, Idaho, Kentucky, Maine, Mis- sissippi, Montana, Nebraska. Nevada New Hampshire, New Maxico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Is land, South Dakota, Tennessee, Yer mont, Washington, Wisconsin. and Wyoming.

ing power at his command, the average citizen now is purchasing fresh loaves.
 Here, then, Is a potential waste of manpOwer and material. Wash ington bread experts wish that grUcers would get in the habit of ordering only the amount of bread required for one days business. That's what happened during the last war when there was wheat shortage, and return of stale bread was prohibited. Today there's plenty of wheat, but other ingredi- ents like milk, sugar and fats are on the scarce list. So it adds up to the same thing.
 It's possible, of course, to go back to the less nutritive bread of 1917-18 in order to make the avail able milk supply go farther. But the bread experts hope that grocers may be broken of the habit of or dering too much. which would pretty well solve one aspect of the bread problem.

 Washington, Dec. 1.-The Ohice of Defense Transportation has g new mileage-saving trick up its sleeve. The idea, still in the plan- ming stage, is to save rubber con- sumption by milk delivery trucks through the Zoning of cities and "allocation" of these zones to the various milk companies.
 This would mean that you would have to order milk from the com pany serving your particular dis tyict, even if 1t weren't the com pany you had been dealing with However, the plan would mean the elimination of all present duph- cated milk routes.
