SAFETY PATROL BEGAN
YEAR nov 22ND

Nebraska's traffic death fight
e,sT'-the Nebraska Safety Pa
trolmen-Friday November 22nd,
began their tenth year Of opera
ton.
On the last day Of their ninth
year they completed the equiva-
lent Of their 732nd trip around the
world, with a total of 18.311,437
miles of patroling over Nebraska
highways.
Since its establishment the Pat
rol has witnessed the reduction in
traffic fatalities over Nebraska's
all-time high Of 322 in 1887. Even
though there has been an increase
of traffic since 1887, traffic IA
talities have been below the 1887
figure. The average number Of IA
talities per year since 1887 is 221.
Captain G. j. Sanders states that
the Patrol doesn't take all the
credit for this reduction but it
does like to feel that it has had
a share in making Nebraskans
safety conscious.
According the the ninth 'anni-
versary report Of Captain San
ders, the Patrol has had an esti-
mated contact with 1,868,899 per-
sons, that use Nebraska's streets
and highways, through safety
meetings, drivers license examin-
atoms, assistance to motorists,
and enforcement activities.
During the nine years, patrol
men have removed 68.4S1 acct
dent producing Instructions from
the highways. 12S,O57 motorists
have been assisted. 682 stolen cars
we're recovered, and 9,439 acct
dents were investigated.
Examinations for drivers licen-
ses have been given to 432,517
individuals.
1885 motorists were arrested
for dangerous violations. In adj
.ition to the arrests, a total Of
1882 written warnings were gil
ven for less hazardous violations,
and 1875, 918 violation or must re-
pair cards were given for dan
gerous equipment violations. AS a
result of the arrests made by the
patrolmen. fines in the amount Of
1868, 037.01 have accrued to the
school fund.
Captain Sanders report shows
that 1894 safety programs
given at schools and civic group
meetings by patrolmen.

"The teacher says Bobby is
feeble-minded. and he should be
put in an institution" Mrs. Hayes
told me with tears in her eyes.
1 could not believe my ears. I
had just met Mrs. Hayes, a for
mer patient, on the street, and
had asked after her six year old
SON. The family moved out of
town to a farm three years ago.
Since that time I had heard 10
thing about them, but I remem-
bered only as a bright and lively
baby.
Does he seem dull at home 2"
I asked.
Eyes, I guess he does. she said.
HE doesn't seem to understand
things like the other children. He
acts so contrary It's been going
on more than a year, since about
the time he had scarlet fever.
That was the clue. When Mrs.
Hayes brought Bobby to my Of
flee, the first thing I did was test
his hearing. And there I found the
answer to his dullness. His ears
had been seriously harmed by his
bout with scarlet fever, something
that happens to many children. if
the contagious diseases are not
carefully cared for and the ears
checked by the doctor throughout
the sickness. Other childhood di-
seases which can harm the nerve
Of hearing are meningitis, humps,
influenza and diptheria.
With the help of the local So
ciety for the hard Of hearing, a
lip reading teacher was found for
Bobby. In addition to that he was
encouraged and trained to use a
hearing aid and the hearing that
was left to him. When Bobby's
teacher learned what the real
trouble was, she too, found ways
to help him and before long he
had caught up with his school
mates in his class work and was
again happily playing games with
them.

ALONG
MY WAY
MERRY cHRIsTMAs-soLDLER
BY Lawrence p. Lewis

MERRY cHRISTMAS-SOLDLER
Although most of us are only
seeking peace in this world and
are waiting for the day when
peace Ear be assured for all ma
tons, we must realize that there
are still hundreds of thousands of
American soldiers serving their
country all over the world.
No matter how much expense
the American Government may go
to in order to insure a Merry
Christmas for the soldiers, unless
there is some token, some gift
from home, it just isn't a Merry
Christmas for the soldiers in the
armed forces.
Most of us have some friend or
some relative that is still serving
Uncle Sam. Their joy in receiving
a card or gift at Christmas time
repays the sender a thousand
times 1t is up to you and I to give
them that JOY.
Corporal Russell v. Bryant was
the mail orderly for our company,
and during the Christmas season
his work was more than doubled.
Packages coming for the many
men in our company, men that
had been transferred, and men
that were on their way home. I
often helped this young school
teacher from Kansas City, Kansas
and we both got a big kick separ-
ating the packages, looking to see
if we had one for ourselves.
Most of the Christmas packages
begin arriving early overseas. AS
we would begin sorting them,
Russell Bryant would say. ito
day is my day. I know I am going
to get a package today"
1 would laugh, signifying. what
are you talking about? 1 don't
believe you have any friends or
relatives. You haven't received
any so far.
The smile would go off his face.
He knew that he had relatives
and friends, but he was a little
worried, because packages were
coming in by the hundreds, but he
had not received any as yet. Every
soldier expects to receive at least
one gift or packag, but there were
many that didn't even receive a
card.
Here is one for Mitchell. one
for Taylor; one for Johnson" and
so on until they were all separated
We stacked them in even stacks,
often rewrapping the ones that
were broken.
AT mail call even the First Ser
geant was there. Most of the time
his mail was delivered to him
personally, but during the holi-
days he would come to mail call
hoping that there had been a mis-
take and he would have a pack
age that they had overlooked dur
ing the first sorting.
The members of our companv
would gather in front of the mail
orderly's tent. All anticipating
some sort of package or letter.
I'll bet I have a package to-
day. they woul yell to the few
struggles, growing impatient in
getting the package or letter that
they were hoping for.

at the top of his voice. A yell
would go up from all of the men
as he reached for his package.

"Oh no you won't. It's from our
wife,, another would scream.

to call out the names on the let
