SAFE TV AND INDIFFERENCE SAFETY on the streets and highways deserves a place on the national program of vital needs. A national campaign is succeeding in reducing the toll; but the moment vigilance re- laxes. death strikes again. IN Wisconsin yesterday, the I promising career of the son of a famous physician was 1 cut short when Dr. Joseph Mayo, 31, was killed as his I automobile collided with a train.

OX October 1. a Duncans-ville man was fatally Injured in this city when an auto and truck collided. Two other persons were hurt There has been no inquest, EIGHT persons dead in automobile accidents and the cases apparently still marked "open for investigation!" Po lice have made their routine investigations, and none makes more thorough inquiries than the state highway patrol, but it seems that surely here are four cases that warrant the formality of inquests, of official decisions! 7:49, 9:50.

THERE are many things a well organized community safety committee can accomplish, but official investigations are not among them; they are up to the coroner. the district attorney, who may demand an inquest, or an official decision from the constituted authorities. I this instance, a single fatal automobile accident may have vast and unfortunate results for mankind.

A career that may have aided science in its fight to save life has been brought to a close just as it was beginning. HERE, in Blair county, are to be seen more immediate needs for safety. During the first nine months of this year, 26 persons have been killed in automobile accidents in this county. And in the same period, 3S2 persons were injured, many of them critically, some maimed for life, in 407 auto accidents. That's a small percentage of accidents in which no one was injured.

Yesterday all priests of the local diocese received an invitation to the consecration dinner, to be held at 1 o'clock, November 30, in Hotel Lawrence, Erie. In fixing the time of the installation ceremonies for Tuesday, Dec. 15, the board delayed detailed plans for this occasion, pending the visit of Msgr. Codori and Rev. Dr.

To commemorate that day, the American nation, led by its President, pays humble respects at Arlington National Cemetery to the Unknown Soldier, resting beneath the simple inscription: "Here lies the body of an American Soldier known but to God." (Associated Press Photo) CONSTANT alertness is the only way to do it. The moment awareness of danger relaxes, accidents "are caused." AT the new traffic training school at State College, "the prime object will be to train the officers to learn by investigation what causes the accident," Col. Lawrence B. Tipton, administrative director of the school, told a Blair county group two weeks ago.

There have been four fatal automobile accidents in this county since June in which inquests have not been held, and in which decisions have not been rendered. And there are at least two other fatal accidents, in which automobiles did not figure, which, so far as is known publicly, have not been investigated at formal inquests, or decisions as to their cause rendered.
