traffic deaths were recorded in
Orange County this past year," he
said, “and mambas* of tbs local
safety council have banded to-
gether to try to do something
about the problem."
“Safety councils are drtng i
fine Job to many communities and
we believe through education, to*
defence on rigid tntffie safety en-
forcement and better traffic con-
trol we can reduce the number of
highway deaths and the ever in-
creasing financial Ion resulting
from traffic accidents," he con-
tinued.
The object of the council is to
promote safety in industr- the
borne, street* and all public
places, ha explained The local
organisation now has ^wo active
committees. One is the T-man
and T-woman committee made
up of responsible citizens who
note traffic violations, record the
car license numbers, obtain the
names of the owners from die Us
office and notify drivers of the
violations. The card or letter
stresses the danger of such care-
lessness and urge* stricter observ-
ance of traffic regulations.
A new committee has been ap-
pointed to make a traffic study
Including (tract conditions and
methods of traffic control. This
committee may recommend a re-
vision to our traffic ordinances
which haven’t been amended
since 1948 Or the committee may
recommend the installation of ad-
ditional traffic lights or the re-
moval of some now to use.
Plans are under study for hold-
ing classes for traffic law viola- ._
tors. Studies have dhown that Ml by • m*Jonly
to 90 per cent of the automobile11
accident* can be avoided through
application of the principles of
safety made available through
education, he said. AH safety pro-

Firemen Make
Only 20 Runs
Only 20 runs, including three
courtesy calls, were made by Or-
ange firemen in April, according
to a monthly report released to-
day by Fire Chief Vertis Sands.
The report was prepared by
Fire Marshal Raymond J. Horn
which showed that three fires oc-
curred In grass, trash and weeds,
three in homes, two in mobile
equipment and three in out build-
ings. During the month. 1,260 feet
of hose, 124 feet of ladders and
1,195 gallons of water were used
to extinguish fires. Engines were
operated a total of 13 hours and
56 minutes.
Horn also noted that the total
insured fire loss paid since Jan.
1, was >7,132.44. The fire marshal
made 43 inspections in April for
fire hazards concentrating pri-
marily in mercantile buildings.
In these inspections 13 hazards
were found and seven eliminated
at that time. On re-inspections,
three such hazards were found
and corrected leaving five.
The Orange key rate of 22 cents
per $100 was cited along with a
good fire credit of 15 per cent.
