Chief K ir- wan attacked the a c c id e n t w n t a single accidest, it’s more than "worth It." The second part of Chief Kir- wan’s program is a system of education for both adults and children. He regularly visits churches, civic groups and fra ternal organizations to show safe ty films, supplemented with large photographs of the year’s w on t accidents. Explaining to his audi ences how these accidents oc curred, he also tells how they could have been avoided. The school program in Med ford is a vigorous sue, starting from kindergarten, ' with lec tures, movies and essay con tests geared to the various ago groups. A largo green pennant is given to each school, desig nating that no child has been injured. When an accident oc curs, the flag is removed. “The children work hard,” says Chief Kirwan, “to keep that flag fly ing.” Medford’s twofold safety pro gram has indeed been the answer to a serious problem. This is evi denced by an award of merit given to the city by the National Safety Council this year for outstanding improvement in its accident rec ord. Other communities might problem from tw o a n g le s . First, he set up a whole new system of in v e stig a tio n and inforce- ment, or what he prefers to Miss Smith call “construc tive enforcement”. One of his first acts was to put up a large map of the city in his office and pinpoint every accident. A complete card file covered all particulars of each accident. When too many acci dents occurred at a certain spot, a vigil was set up at the scene to determine why, and immedi ate steps then taken to rectify the trouble. Once the problem if found and measures taken to overcome it, strict enforcement is used. “It has been proven statistically," says Chief Kirwan, “that rigid enforcement of traffic laws cuts accidents in half. Pm afraid I m so strict on this point that I’ve in curred the dislike of some people t pr< —but it’s my Job and duty. I look at it this way: if it can pre- following in Medford’s footsteps.
