Nation Gears for All-Time Record Of Safe Driving By UNITED PRESS The nation geared today to set an all-time safety record a day without a traffic accident any where in the country. That is the goal of S-D Day, a 24-hour period next Dec. 15 dedicated to safe driving. Considering that there were 10,000,000 traffic accidents in the country last year, safety ex perts felt the goal probably would be unattainable. But they hastened to add that they want everybody to try. Ike Calls on All President Eisenhower, in an nouncing the Dec. 15 drive late Tuesday, said "No endeavor could be more worthy of our universal cooperation." He called on every American to: . 1. Follow common sense rules of good sportsmanship and cour tesy. 2. Obey traffic regulations. 3. Resolve to stay alert and careful. "If every one of us will do these three things, Safe Driving Day can be a day without a traf fic accident in all America," Mr. Eisenhower said. Day To Ba Proclaimed The drive is sponsored by the President's Action Committee for Traffic Safety. Mr. Eisen hower said S-D Day will be pro claimed through the country by governors, mayors and county of fioials. Gov. Robert F. Kennon of Louisiana, chairman of the Gov ernors Conference, requested all governors to appoint a state S-D Day director.

Clockwise around table: Senator Henry Jackson (D., Wash), just behind photographer; Senator Joseph R. McCarthy (R., Wis.), chairman; James Juliano, acting staff director; Senator John McClellan (D., Ark.); Senator Stuart Symington (D., Mo.), and Senator Everett Dirksen (R., I1L). Blood Banks for Dogs Suggested by Group Chicago-OJ.R) Now it's blood banks for dogs. A group of veterinarians has recommended in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medi cal Association that "stables" of donor animals be maintained to insure adequate supplies of blood at animal hospitals. Most of the donor dogs could be obtained from municipal dog pounds, according to the plan. Hemorrhagic shock during operations is a common occur rence among dogs, the veterin arians said, and delay in admin istering transfusions because of a lack of blood can be fatal. Keeping stocks of blood for canine transfusions would be p easier than maintaining humaa blood banks, the veteranians said, because research indicates it is not necessary to match blood types in dogs. Family Dog House Contains No Dog Voorheesville, N.Y. U.R) Mr. and Mrs. Fred Whiteman have a dog house but no dog. They- also have three wooden horses and a barn ful of buggies. Their home is filled with Chi nese teakwood furniture, one room of which for contrast also contains a merry-go-round horse. Near the horse stands a J massive chair, which the White- mans believe to be one of only three Chinese monkey chairs in the United States. Whiteman, a horse trucker in this Albany County village, is a collector. Fortunately, his wife shares his hobby. To pull his carts and car riages, Whiteman keeps several Shetland ponies, including a 35 inch miniature named Timber. He also has a Russian sleigh that belonged to a millionaire when Whiteman was a boy. "I never thought I would ever own it;" he said. The teakwood furniture col lection was started seven years ago when the Whitemans bought a dresser and a dressing table in a New York antique shop. Since then, they have traveled "across the Mississippi" to add more pieces. In addition, the : Whitemans have the appropriate accessories a Foo dog with diamond eyes, a Buddha, rose medallion and carved ivory pieces. The rugs are handmade Imperials. Conservation Saves Materials Washington (U.R) The De fense Department reports that millions of pounds of strategic materials have been saved this year as a result of a vigorous conservation program. One target of the military con servation program is nickel. Since the start of the Korean fighting, it has remained the world's most critical material. The department's project to conserve nickel dealt principally with the reduction of nickel in armor plate, conversion from nickel - bearing to straight chromium stainless steels in food-handling equipment, the use of boron steel in tank and automotive-steels, reduction of nickel in ship "cupronickel" by two thirds and investigation of the use of such alternative materials as aluminum, magnesium, and high manganese stainless steels. The military conservation pro gram is focused primarily on mobilization readiness. In many cases material-saving designs are being perfected and placed , in readiness until needed. In time of war, when materials become i short, the military services will then be able to switch quickly to these alternate designs. The dog house stands outside the Whiteman home. It used to be a barn cupola. "We don't have a dog, but I thought it would make a nice dog house, so we put it in the y a r d," Mrs. Whiteman explained. Conservation is promoted through substitution of less critical in place of more critical materials, simplified design, re duction in size and weight of such items as radios and radar, improved packaging, elimination or combination of parts, repair and salvage, and improved scrap handling. "Conservation contracts" are also a part of the department's program. Under these contracts, contractors agree to review, item by item, opportunities to reduce content of critical ma terials in equipment ordered. Any improvement is put into effect in production designs on existing orders. Explosion Kills Nine Sarno, Italy u.R) The known dead totaled nine today in the explosion of a fireworks factory that destroyed three houses. Two women and a baby were still missing and officials fear ed they were trapped under the smoking debris. Charred bodies of nine victims including women and children, were pulled from wreckage.

The subject is a new court house. In the background is loca tion of the Malheur county seat. Opposed by Ontario . The county court proposed to purchase the former Vale high school building to serve as a new courthouse after remodeling. This was placed on the ballot. The Ontario Chamber of Com merce openly opposed the pur chase. Ontario claimed that the county should build a new court house rather than remodel the old schoolhouse. The Vale Chamber of Com merce came back and said that Ontario was not in reality seek ing a new courthouse but an op portunity to have the county seat moved from Vale to Ontario. 1 Voters Differ At election time, Ontario vot ers almost unanimously turned down the proposal to buy the school building, while Vale vot ers approved the plan over whelmingly. However, the meas ure was defeated . Soon after election, Pat Wil- kins of Radio Station KSVR, On tario, questioned County Judge G. Y. Chester about the issue. He said: "Everybody in the coun ty must face the fact that the real issue is the county seat. No mat ter how much anybody tries to disguise the issue with condem nation of the court's plan to pur chase and remodel the .school building, the undercurrent of Ontario's attempts to move the county seat are obvious." And today, Ontario Chamber of Commerce President R. R. Robertson replied: "We would like the court to present a plan for a suitable building. If that is done I'm sure Ontario will back Bills Planned To Raise Postal Workers Wages Washington (U.R) Two Democratic senators plan to co sponsor bills in the new Con gress to raise the pay" of postal workers and other federal em ployees. Sens. Olin D. Johnston (D S.C.), and Matthew M. Neely (D W. Va.), said their bill would hike salaries of all civil service and postal employees 10 per cent with a guaranteed mini mum increase of $400 annually I for each worker. Salem (U.R) A citation for outstanding contribution to the air defense system has been awarded to the Oregon State Forestry Department by Brig. Gen. R. W. Puyear, commander of the 25th air division at Mc Chord Air Force Base. The reason no other margarine tastes so good is Sun ny bank's finer ingredient! Now- it just as vigorously as it opposed the purchase of the Vale school building. However, if there is3 any question as to where a new courthouse should be, then by all ; means let the people of the coun ty express their preference." Experiments May Improve Jet Flying Norman, Okla. (U.R) Jet planes may fly more safely be cause of experiments completed by a University of Oklahoma chemical engineering professor here. Dr. Lyle F. Albright said he has perfected a flow control unit that may eliminate flame-out a major hazard of jet flying in ' which the fuel ignition flame is snuffed out. He said present-day jets handle air flowing at rates from 200 to 400 feet per second. But this flow control unit boosts the velocity to 700-800 feet per second. "At first it seemed like trying to keep a pilot light going in a hurricane," Albright said. "We don't make any claims at this time. It has worked in the lab oratory but must be tried in the air, of course."
