who have caught the vision of the
need of a Fundamental witness to
the word of God, and those who
gave their labor to clear the
ground and erect the tabernacle:
May God richly bless all who had
any part i'm it"

Safety Council News

Promoting the safe and effic-
lent use of our streets and high
ways is full time professional
job in the opinion of William ].
Miller. Jr., director of operations
of the State Highway Department.
That job lis in good hands in
the competent staff of the Della
ware Safety Council who are train
ed. experienced. able men par
ticularly skilled for their daily
tasks" he said
Mr. Miller made his comments
in support of the councils July
campaign to raise $500 through
memberships. He gave examples of
the work done by the Safety Coun-
Gil for the Highway Department
in promoting highway safety. His
statement follows:
Il have been employed in the Del
aware State Highway Department
for over % years. During that time
| have been a member of the Board
or Directors of the Delaware Safety
Council for Is years. This exper-
fence with both agencies has en-
abled me to see first-hand the act
ivities and close relationships
which are the trade marks of the
Safety Council. One of the most inn
portant highway safety activities
in my mind is the annual invent
ory report prepared by the various
agencies--the State Highway De-
partment, the Delaware State Po-
lice, the Motor Vehicle DIVISIONAL
of which are compiled, analysed
and commented upon with recon-
mendations by the Delaware
Safety Council staff assisted by
their National Safety Council staff.
These reports evaluate our
position and relate our activities to
national or desirable standards.
The agencies, in turn can then put
their house in order in terms of
the reported results.
Another important element is
the extra special effort which the
Delaware Safety Council staff en-
courages on the part of all school
traffic safety protective programs.
This means special emphasis on pc
destrian activity and every other
traffic and safety activity, which
can be taught to the school child
rem. to the parents. to the teachers.
In this regard the closest coopera-
tive efforts between the department
and the Delaware Safety Council
are found.
Promoting the safe and effic-
lent use of our streets and high
ways is a full time professional
job. It is in good hands in the COM
petent staff of the Delaware Safety
Council who are trained, experience
ed, able men particularly skilled
for their daily tasks.
I'VE will not find news head
lines outlining the day by day act
ivities so necessary to curb or
check our accidents. Rather the
headline screams when serious
accident occurs which In some
cases would have been avoided or
reduced in severity If recommended
tons or procedures based on a
sound safety program had been
used, either in education, engineer
ing. or enforcement, all of which
are the key features on which the
Safety Council activities are based.
II am eager indeed, and certain
ly pleased and proud. to endorse
the activities of our Delaware
Safety Council in their continued
endeavors to save our lives"
