OFFICER OF THE WEEK
(Costinaed from Page Owe)

GROUND SAFETY FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL

A Ground Safety Office has been established at this Base under the direction of the Ground Safety Of- ficer, whose mission will be to de- crease and eliminate, insofar as possible, all accidents at this Base. The importance of this program cannot be overestimated, because of the prevalent shortage of man. power. Each and every accident means loss of productive effort on the part of the individual in- volved, with the result that serious delay is experienced in the com- pletion of the mission being per formed by the individual involved.
 During the past month there were 28 accidents involving the loss of time of military personnel under the control of this Base, be- yond the day on which the accident occurred. This loss of time varied from a period of few days dura- tion to total of several weeks of disqualification in several severe cases.
 An analysis of the accidents in question shows that practically all might have been avoided by the exercise of simple, common sense precautions. Slips and falls were most frequent direct cause of sev- eral severe injuries. Automobile accidents on and off the Base also accounted for several victims of bruises, decorations, strains, frac- lures, and one fatality. Don't be the next victim!
 Be careful when walking on rough, uneven or slippery surfaces, or in poorly lighted areas. Strictly observe safe driving practices when operating a motor vehicle, or see that the driver does so if you are passenger.
 When walking on or standing at the side of the road, always assume that motor vehicle operators may not see you. Get out of their way. Don't wait for them to turn out for you.
 Train yourself to be safety minded, and live happier and longer.

Kellys suggestion was endorsed by Police Mossis
 by Police Commissioner John P. Altman who said that millions of dollars are bet each season at Illinois race tracks, providing large revenue for the state but nothing for Chicago, which furnished the bulk of track patrons.
 "It is islly to think that gambl- ing can be stopped by law" the mayor said. Besides, legalized handbooks would eliminate lot of headaches for city officials and po- lice"
 Police Captain Suspended
 The mayor wasn't kidding when he spoke of headaches" There have been scores of grand jury in- vestigations and busters of police officials in neighborhoods where open gambling hourished. The most recent headache" grew out of the suspension by the civil service conn mission of Police Capt. Thomas HaGrigan for alleged laxity in con- trolling gambling in his district.
 An investigation showed that Har- rison was busted before formal charges had been signed by the commission. AS 8 result, Walter Gregory, chairman of the commits sion, and William F. Clarke, com- mission member, were each sen- tenced to 30 days in jail and fined $2,500 by Judge Joseph Graber for contempt of court. Gregory is pres ident of the Washington Park Jock ey club and is vice president of a large hotel company. Clarke is dean of the DePaul University law school.
 Kelly favors bill to be intro duced in the State Legislature which would give the city power to limit the number of handbooks in the city, fix locations and license fees. Similar bills pre- iously introduced were vetoed by the late Gov. Henry Horner and the present governor, Dwight H. Green.
 The mayors endorsement Of a plan to license handbooks drew immediate condemnation from clergymen, Dr. Adolph Bohn, Pres byterian minister, said: Gambling is sinful and legalizing it will not make it less sinful. Handbooks are a den1oralizing influence and I am shocked at the suggestion of legal izing them
