states during the same period. The
re-reduction in fatalities for the
entire state, three percent, was the
first recorded since 1854.
Injuries sustained in traffic ac-
cidents in the state in 1856 totaled
7S,698. This was IL percent jump
over the figure for 1855. OF the
total there were So, 1853 drivers;
36,058 passengers; 4,741 pedestri-
ans; 962 bicyclists; and 769 per-
sons were otherwise injured. Cuya-
hoga, Franklin, Hamilton, and
Summit counties recorded 5000 or
more injuries last year. More than
1000 injuries was reached by IA
counties. The average number of
injuries per day ran to more than
200.
Pike county, in a three-year
span, recorded the only reduction
in the total number Of traffic ac-
cidents, from 1854 to 1855 and 1855
to 1856. The reduction from 1854
to 1856 was more than Sc percent.
Geauga county had the sharpest
percentage increase in the number
of accidents from 1855 to 1856,
among all of the 88 counties in the
state, 80 percent, from 551 to 767.
It was estimated that the economic
cost of all traffic accidents in Ohio
last year totaled $240 millions of
dollars.
Other figures revealed in the
tabulations of the Department of
Highway Safety showed that there
were 1892 accidents on city
streets, $500 on rural state high
ways, and 26,417 on village streets
and other rural roads, A total of
286 pedestrians were killed inside
cities and 149 in rural areas. OF all
pedestrians who died, children un-
der 10 and senior citizens over SIS
constituted 81 percent. An analysis
of the drivers involved in all of the
traffic accidents indicated that
only six percent were residents of
other states. There were l ,977 over
Is years of age; 107 over 85; and
several were approaching the GEN.
tury mark.
Director Jeffery of the State De-
partment of Highway Safety con-
cluded the report with an appeal
to all citizens: There is no solace
in these tragic figures, if we do
not show any progress in curbing
this reckless waste of human souls
and energies and economic re-
sources. We must not sacrifice any

Study Grant For
President Thesis
Given Kenyon Man

GAMBLER, o. - A grant of S.
600 has been made to a member of
the Kenyon College faculty for a
study of THE President and Per-
sonal Liberty" Recipient of the
award is Richard p Longaker of
the department of political science,
who will take a leave of absence
from Kenyon during the spring Sc
mester in 1858.
The grant is from the Fund for
the Republic, an independent edu-
cational corporation founded to ad-
vance the principles of the Con-
stitution and the Bill of Rights.
Mr.. Longaker expects to do re-
search in Washington on both the
Truman and Eisenhower admins
trations. He regards the relation
ship between the president and the
liberties of the citizen as one of
the most neglected problems of
civil liberties, and his intention is
to define the role of contemporary
presidents in promoting and pro-
tecting these liberties and to eX-
plore the techniques available for
the purpose.
Other aims of the study will be
to evaluate recent presidential sue
cess and failure in the matter Of
civil liberties and to suggest the
limits of presidential action and
the possibilities of this office for
protecting and promoting personal
liberties in the future.
Mr.. Longaker first joined the
Kenyon faculty in 1858. He re-
turned to the College in 1855 after
a year at the University of Cali
fornia at Riverside. He holds
B.A. degree from Swarthmore, an
MA from the University of Wis
consin, and a Phi. D. from Cornell.
His principal interests are the
American presidency, party poll
tics, and American political theory.

Several Plans In
Soil Banking Are
ReadyFor Farmer

COLUMBUS-When you sign a
conservation reserve contract with
your county ASC committee you
agree to take certain acres out of
production for periods ranging
from to Is years. Then length of
time depends on the conservation
practice you plan to follow on the
designated acres.
IF the banked" land has ade-
quate vegetative cover and no cost
sharing payment is involved, the
contract is for a minimum of 5
years, although you can make it
for to 10 years if you so desire.
If the land needs vegetative COW
er and cost-sharing payment is in
volved, the minimum length of the
contract is 5 years, or 10 years if
you so elect. For pond construction
on conservation acres with cost
sharing the minimum is 5 years or
10 if you so elect, and for estab-
lishment of trees with cost-sharing
the contract is for 10 years, or for
IS if you prefer.
AS a participant in the conserva-
ton reserve program you are elig-
ible for two kinds of payments -
rental and coSt-sharing. Your rent
al payments will be made annually
by check after the county ASC
committee has determined your
soil bank base crops and other
land use practices on the farm.
They'll vary from So to SIS an
acre in Ohio.
Cost-share payments will be
made after you've completed GER
tain practices. On most approved
practices the ASC will pay a maxi
mum of so percent of the cost of
performing them.
There is no limit to the number
of acres you can put in conServa-
tion reserve, but you can't receive
more than $1,000 annual payment
for any program year on all farms
as conservation reserve. In this
case you might get approval to
exceed the $1,000 limit.
You can get cost-sharing pay
ments on such practices as the fol-
lowing: establishing permanent
vegetative cover, establishing and
managing cover beneficial to wild
life, tree planting, ponds and res
ervoirs for livestock water, con-
structing dams and ponds for fish
or managing water and marsh
lands for the benefit of fish and
