Veterans Administration
Program Is Outstanding
In DeLGIUUre
CONTINUED from first pager

(The State Board for Vocational
Education) has been largely re-
sponsible for the high ethical plane
of conduct.
Unlike most states, Delaware
has not had any dirty linen in it's
training Closets"
Following a request that the
Veterans Administration assume
the TespOnsibilities for the training
program previously administered by
the State Department of Public In
structiOn, Mr.. Tawes stated that
the VA will make every effort to
carry on the work on the same high
ethical plane that the program has
assumed during the past six years
Similar achievements were sub
mitted to Governor ElbeTt N. Car
vel when the VA reported that no
pertinent findings concerning ir-
regularities or deficiencies were
discovered in the institutional-On-
farm training program.
Speaking about the "fy-b -by-night"
schools, Mr.. Tawes stated that
Delaware has not been affected by
this particular type of abuse so
common in other states.
Probably no other state has a
cleaner record in the training of
veterans than has Delaware" Mr.
Tawes reported.
DR.. Helm stated that 12,250 vet
Grams participated and terminated
their training since May, 1916. He
added that 1,58S veterans are still
in the program. During the same
period 2,203 industrial establish
ments and businesses have been
approved by the veterans training
personnel of which 254 remain in
force.

The Council also pointed out that
the H-Day (fOr holiday traffic toll
in the same period was three times
that of the Pearl Harbor death toll.
War is a much nastier business
than driving a car, of course" said
Reynolds DUPONT, Council presi-
dent, "and we compare the two only
to make the average driver realize
that we need an armistice on kill
ing at home, too.
1T is terrible to add up these
figures and realize the high price
America pays for fun on its holi-
days. We have a purpose in Korea,
but there is no rhyme or reason to
the wantOn squandering of lives on
the highways-especially during
holiday celebrations"
The National Safety Council es-
timated that 40,00G,000 passenger
vehicles will be on the move during
the three-day Fourth of July hOli-
day and that they will roll up mile
age in the neighbOrhOOd of 5,000,-
100000 miles.
Memorial Day this year set a
new record for that holiday, when
$50 persons were killed" Mr.. du-
Pont said. THAT sounds bads for
the Fourth. I'd like to see the
Fourth set "a record of another
kinda new low in deaths. But it
can't be done unless every driver
uses extra caution to make up for
the extra hazard, which a survey
has shown to be about 30 per cent
greater than on an average week
end.
Excessive speed is the principal
cause of all fatal traffic accidetns.
On the Fourth, take your time and
you'll have plenty of it to enjoy
the holiday.
