ditional observanceS.
 Christmas and Easter, most sig. nificant days of the Christian year, were celebrated by broadcasts from home and abroad. With Holy Week and sunrise services, noted boys choirs, Bible reading and unusual dramatizations, carols and masses, the important religious seasons were greeted by NEG.
 Regular religious features on both networks during the past year by representatives of the three major faiths totaled an average of eleven devotional programs weekly which brought an inspirational message at least once daily into American homes.
 Of these regular programs four won top honors from the Women's Press Club of New York City and were cited as outstanding radio pro- grams. They were: National Yes pers" with Dr. Harry Emerson Eos dick, and Religion in the News" edited by Dr. Walter w. Van Kirk, which are produced by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America; the nationwide Catholic Hour, produced in cooperation with the National Council of Catholic Men, and the Message of Israeli, produced under auspices of the United Jewish Laymen's Committee,

UPWARD TREND
 IN ACCIDENTS
Nearly 100000 Accidental Deaths Expected to Be
 Recorded for l94l

With the January through De- cember record for fatal accidents in the United States estimated at about 100000, the year 1941 has at tained the unenviable distinction of being the second consecutive year to show an upward trend in the accident fatality rate, according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The 194l number of deaths from accidents is expected to exceed by 5000 the l940 total of 96,885.
 In ordinary years this adverse report would be shocking. But, to- day, with the memory of the loss of 5000 lives in single days encoun- ter of the war, our losses through accidents are less impressive Nevertheless the need for safe practices in our daily activities must not be forgotten.
 As in previous years, motor ve- hicle accidents figured prominently in the accident fatality increase, with a total of over 39,500 deaths exceeding the 194O total by at least 5000. Last minute data may even bring the motor vehicle death tally to a figure above the 39,642 that made 1897 the previous peak year. For more than a decade, motor ve- hicle accidents, which account for four out of every ten accidental deaths, have been the leading class of fatal miShap.
 Greatly increased industrial ac tivity during 1941 is given by the statisticians as the reason for the sharp rise in deaths due to occu- pational accidents. Data available indicate that there may be some 1,500 more fatal accidents in this class for 1941 than for the uprevi- ous year. Most of the rise can, of course, be attributed to the great CT total number of hours of em- ployment, much of 1t i'll national defense work
 Two classes of accidental deaths showed a decline. From data at hand, it appears that about 1000 fewer persons were killed ill home accidents. And a similar decline was observed by the statisticians in deaths due to accidents in public places, other than those involving motor vehicles.
 Although there was an increase in 1941 in the number of accident catastrophes accidents taking five or more lives--the total num- Der of lives thus lost, up to the closing days of the year, was less than in 1940 In fact, barring a major disaster at its close, this will be the only year in tn past decade, the statisticians point out, in which there was not at least one catastrophe costing 100 or more lives. The greaest losses of life re- suited from the ship and pier fire at Brooklyn. N. r., in August (37 lives) adn from the explosion of a boat filled with picnickers in Maine during June (36 lives).

SOME CALL TT WINTER
,,,l BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Nov is the season about which It Is hard to sing, Too late to praise fall, Too early to anticipate spring It's just the season
 Of rains, snows and blows, When earth Is dry and barren And nothing at all grows. Now Is the season that We don't brag about, Long cold winter days Uninspiring, no doubt. Now is the season when We get too wind-bloTn, One day finds us
 To Florida flown, Where we can escape
 Fsck,e New England weather, And see poinsettias and oranges Flourishing happily together.
