Traffic Safety
Contest Provides
Many Accomplishments
BY SILER FREEMAN

Contests generally are spas
modic affairs. They work up to
a climax and then drop off into
oblivion. They accomplish very
little lasting good.
But these generalities do not
hold in the contest that just
ended among the Detroit police
precincts. 1t was one sponsored
by the Traffic Safety Associ-
alton and was designed TO pre-
vent traffic accidents. Here are
some of the things it accom-
plished:
1T cut accidents in the 16
months that the contest ran,
from Sept. !, 1871, TO Dec. 81.
1912. by 5000 under the previous
16 months.
Ut reduced fatalities in
1912 by az per cent under 194l.
3-It resulted in 1000 traffic
engineering suggestions being
su b m i I I e d, many of them
adopted by Safety Engineer
Grant d. Nickel.
At made better relationship
between the police department
and the public than ever in the
departments history, according
to Commissioner John Wither-
spoon.

BY WARD SCHULTZ
Financial Editor

The former headquarters OF
the Eastern Chevrolet Company
at Kercheval and Maryland ave-
nues, which has been undergoing
remodeling for the past several
weeks, has reopened its doors as
a unit of the training system
which the ordnance department,
in collaboration with leading in
dustrial firms, has set up for the
schooling of mechanical person
mel.
Continental Motors Corpora
ton will conduct specialized
courses here for selected
trainees, to equip the latter for
tank engine maintenance and re-
pair work on the various fronts.
All ordnance training is under
the supervision of Brig. Gen. Ju-
Ian 5. Hatcher, chief of military
training, office of the chief OF
ordnance, who also has charge
of similar schools elsewhere in
this area, where fundamentals
of other types of army equip
ment are TAUGHT John F. How
ard, director of education for
Continental Motors. is its direc-
tor of training, and Thomas
May is chief instructor. with a
staff of II men. 1t. Griswold
Wilson Jr. is in charge for the
ordnance department, and Clar-
ence Capek, Continental en-
ploye with service experience in
Egypt. is a member OF the teach
ing staff.
The school Is completely
equipped for practical work as
well as for lecture sessions.
Once the sessions are under
way. a class will be graduated
each week. The course consists
of training on each of the two
.dial air-cooled tank engines
hich Continental Motors builds.
The students, principally non
commissioned GERS, are
chosen from their respective or
CARNATIONS with an eye to their
special fitness for this type of
work. They live al the Savarine

HEADED BY TRUMAN

The Senate committee Is
headed by Senator Harry S. Tru-
man CD of Missouri.
The WPB's decision, the report
said, was based on a recommended
ition by the WPB office of civilian
supply despite the insistence of the
agriculture department and the
WPB's own farm machinery and
equipment branch that production
of farm equipment be maintained
at 80 per cent of the 1910 level.
To alleviate the machinery
shortage, the committee recon-.
.mended:
That Food Administrator
Claude r. Wickard's determina-
tions of nonfood materials
needed for the food production
program be given maximum
consideration in allotting mate
rails"
. That farm machinery now
scheduled for manufacture dur
ing the year ending Oct. 81,
1943. be completed instead by
June 80. 1913. This would in
effect amount to a production
increase of 33ils per cent.
. That for the year beginning
July !, 1913. "a new and more
adequate program for farm ma
chinery production be immedi-
\ ately put into effect.
