Awards
Due jon. 81

It's time to begin thinking a.
bout the Omaha Safety Councils
OSCA awards again.
They are due January 31st, at
the Council office, but they take
a lot Of work and perhaps you
should be thinking about them
now.
You will remember the win
ners last year were KFAB, The
South Omaha Sun, and The Flash
(O.P.P.D.)- Maybe you will be
among the winners this time.
But only if you submit a good en-
try and that means a display
of materials to show what you
have done in the safety field
with the medium at your disposal
during 1866.
Hope to be hearing from you
about the end of January.
Sincerely,
Harry Hatcher
