NATION A
, GIVE DEATH A HOLIDAY
t 1 Let's give death a holiday on our streets and high
ways December 15. f'
1f;That is the date selected as "S-D Day" (Safe Driving
Day) by President Eisenhbwer's Action Committee for
Traffic Safety. Ordinarily, we could expect between
80 and 100 deaths to occur that day, but the President's
committee and the other participating groups believe
that a nationwide effort can cut the toll considerably.
iYou, as a driver or as a pedestrian, are being asked to
cooperate., As a pedestrian, you can help by looking
. both ways before entering the street, crossing only at
crosswalks, obeying all traffic signals and being alert
at all times..
As a driver, you can help by following these Ten
" Commandments of Safe Driving which have been rec
ommended by the Central Auto Safety Committee of
1 the Kemper insurance group, the oldest organization in
the nationdevoted exclusively to traffic safety:
1. Always drive as if other motorists or pedestrians
' are going to do something foolish. II. Obey all speed
. limits and traffic signs. III. Signal for all turns, stops
c and lane changes. IV. Drive in and turn from the proper
lane. V. Observe passing regulations and no passing
'zones.1 VI. Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and
observe; mid-block crosswalks. VII. Stop when ap
proaching a standing school bus. VII. Use extra caution
at all railroad crossings. IX. Do not drive after drink-
, ing. X. Treat others on the road as courteously as you
would have them treat you.
Your cooperation will help give death a holiday Dec
ember 15. Jt will help prove that the observances of
safety practices can make every day an S-D Day and
' it may save your life, too. , j
" PROGRESS REPORT ,
Various factors determjne just how good the stand
ards of medical care are in any nation. One is the num
ber of doctors in practice, and the quality and extent
of the facilities for educating physicians. In this, the
United States is exceedingly fortunate.
A report made by the American Medical Associa
tion tells the story. The record graduation of 6,861
doctors during 1953-54 brought the nation's physician
population to approximately
is a doctor for every 730
that too is a new high record.
Moreover, the situation
better. Present enrollment
28,277 the greatest in history.
As for the schools themselves, more than $76,000,-
000 was spent in the 1953
and for remodeling or completion of buildings for
medical instruction. Their
000,000 for 1954-55. And
are scheduled to go into operation within the next five
or six years.
An interesting and important commentary on med
ical education is found in the fact that 21,328 physicians
taught without pay during the last school year, in ad
dition to the regular full-time faculty members. The
doctors, obviously, are vitally interested in giving us
both more medical care and better medical care.
JOYFUL INTERLUDE
That interlude which precedes Christmas is a
merry season indeed, it s the most loved and enjoyed
of the year, for, among other good things, it lasts sb long
and makes one feql so joyous.
We mark Christmas Day itself with the solemn
thoughts and the religious observances appropriate to
its deep significance as the birthday of Our Saviour,
Founder of Christianity.
But in the days and weeks which come before
in the fun and excitement,
the joyous preparation which lead to the happy cul
mination of the opening of
goodwill and merriment of a
ly, "comes but once a year."
