SECTION TWO—I Nationwide Attack On Auto Accidents Three Day Conference Held In White House Last Week Washington, D. C.—Rural areas of the United States will he major pro\- ing grounds for a nationwide attack on automobile accidents, it be<came evi dent in the discussions at a White House conference on highway which was held in Washington Wed nesday through Friday last week. President Eisenhower opened the conference sessions, stressing the need for urgent action, and for effectne citizen leadership. An estimated 3,000 people, repre senting every state in the Union, at tended the conference. Their aim is to develop a program aimed at reduc ing the traffic accident toll by 40 per cent during 1954. On the basis of the 1952 and 1953 death totals of more than 38,000 per year, this would mean a saving of nearly 15.000 lives. Reports to the delegates, based upon carefully-conducted studies, indicated that more than two out of every three highwav deaths are occurring on rural roads, and in small towns and villages. In pledging support to the safety program. Secretary of Agriculture Ez ra Taft Benson pointed out that no one has a bigger stake in highway safety than the farmer. He said: “He must use the highway tn all kinds of weather, in all kinds of traf fic and in all kinds of vehicles—the automobile, the truck, the tractor. And I can’t think of any business whose production and distribution is ham pered or disrupted more by an acci dent than the farm industry. The farmer traditionally is almost always short of help. An accident to himself or to one of his helpers can really hurt. “And vet farm residents suffer more fatal motor vehicle accidents than any other type of accident. Some of these tragedies are caused by farm people themselves. Many others are caused by non-farm residents who use the highways that go by farms. “The huge waste of vital farm man power. and material resources caused bv accidents must be stopped. I am sure I can pledge the active help of the farm people of America in stop ping them.” The death toll of rural highway ac cidents. including those in suburban areas, is more than 27,090 —more than 2'i times the number killed in urban sections, according to studies by safe ty organizations.

He was still sleepy when! he mounted a ladder to reach the scaf fold on which he was to work. Miss ing his step, he tumbled to the ground. A fellow-workman hurried to his side. “Are you hurt, Joe?” he asked. Joe sat up, and with drooping head looked down at the seat of his over alls. He shook his head. “No, I ain’t hurt,” Joe said, “But I’m twished somethin’ awful.” Kenzie.

Oak Grove Section To Get Telephones The Oak Grove community started working for rural telephones in 1950. They worked up a list of potential customers and secured right-a-way for the proposed lines. This was turned over to the telephone company which has been slow in responding. Through the efforts of County Agent C. W. Overman, a representative of phone company was called in week. The list of customers were in terviewed and final information ob tained. Mr. Dewey, the telephone represen tative, informed the people that he ex pects to get the line up and telephones in operation by early summer. The people are looking forward to this ad ditional convenience in their home and jin their community.
