The State High way Patrol opened a "holiday traffic contrpl plan" yesterday in an effort to reduce motor deaths and injuries over the forthcom- i ing Christmas holidays.' The project went Into effect unannounced but Motor Vehicles Commissioner Edward Scheldt outlined It in a news conference with reporters today. -The Cotnmissioner said the pro ject will make extensive use of Electronic speed recorders and dally "saturation" patrolling. "From how until the end of the year we intend to keep our radar I and electronic speed recorders in constant use throughout the , state." Scheldt said. "This plus day and night saturation patrols may help to cut down holiday fa- i talities." , Undbr the saturation plan, here tofore mainly a week-end project, patrolmen will rove assigned ! stretches of ten miles or so along an unspecified number of roads daily. Scheldt also said all the High- ! way Patrol's speed recording . Equipment would be pressed into service, plus other units to be in use by local enforcement agen cies. He hinted that delivery of ten more "Speedwatch" devices might comb at' any moment. The "Speedwatch" instruments use twin cables stretched across the road and compute speed by a stopwatch. Scheldt warned holi day travelers that the devices are liktely to be worked In tandem^ that Is two or more may be set up within a few miles of each other. From Highway Patrol head quarters, Commander James R. j Smith said a majority of his men h$d volunteered to work through the holiday, thus making "safety coverage" about as complete as possible. , ^ He urged mot_rlsts to drive at reasonable speeds on holicjay trips and to keep a close watch on pe destrians. Scheldt said last year's official holiday period began at 6:00 p. m. December 24 and extended through midnight, December 28. Sixteen persons were killed and 255 injured during that period, the Commissioner said. He estimated nearly a quarter of last: year's holiday deaths wtere due to drinking. For celebrants the Commissioner endorsed these tips from the National Safety Council: Stay alert. Don't become so pre occupied with holiday making that you go into a holiday daze. Kefcp your wits about you when ever you're in traffic ? ? 'on foot or In a car. Christmas Card Idea Originated By Englishman Christmas cards are ?o much a part of the modern Yule ~>n that one seldom stops to wotuier how the Idea originated and by Whom. This simple idea of wl thing your friends a Merry Chrlfttmas brought honor and knighthood to the orig inator, Henry Cole, a mlddleclass Englishman. . Cole mailed his cards on a De cember day in 1844. The cards de picted a Victorian family assem bled at the festive board and the traditional Christmas custom of giving to the poor. They also bore the now-classic greeting: "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you." He ha4 a thousand of the cards struck off by a lithograph. They were such a success that plain Henry Cole subsequently becamo Sir Henry Cole. ; The cards we send today, how ever, a far cry from those mailed by Cole. The cards you send and receive this year will be designed by famous names In contemporary art. An American shopping for cards this year may select scenes painted by such famous people as Wtnston Cburthill.
