According to a prediction re leased by the Association of Cas ualty and Surety companies, the probable death toll from acci dents involving high speed or speed too fest for conditions will amount to 124 victims. Alcohol, taken too freely by both drivers and pedestrians, is expected to accout for another 81 victims. Before the end of the week end,. which starts officially at 0 p. m. December 23 and closes at midnight December 26, there also will, be 37 deaths in accidents caused by failure to keep to the right of a centerline, 26 more for failure to yield the right of way and another 23 in crashes caused by overfatigued drivers or driv ers actually asleep at the wheel. In releasing the prediction, Thomas N. Boate, manager of the Association's accident pre vention department, pointed to overzealous hpliday celebrants as principal offenders in the acci dent picture. “This year, as every year,” Mr. Boate said, “the party-goer who just doesn’t know when to quit will substitute grief for Chris*- mas joy when he kills himselg, or someone else, on the way home from an overindulgent cel ebration. Any driver who drinks, even though he may be obvious ly drunk, is a potential killer on the highway. It would be well for hosts and guests alike to re member that, when planning a party during Christmas season.” BOILED MILK If a pinch of soda is stirred into milk that is to be boiled it will keep the milk from curdling. Military Draft Call Cut Sat For Next Year Washington, Dec. 20—Secretary ' of Defense Wilson said today that, Partly because of greater “oppor tunities for peace,” 4 draft calls will be halved next year and the armed forces will be reduced by 408 000 men by June 1956. The reduction will bring total strength down to 2,815,000 from the current figure of 3,218,000 registered last month Wilson told a Pentagon news conference the decision to cut military manpower was made “in the last few weeks ... by the President after a review” of all factors. The secretary also announced that the 1st Marine division will be returned from Korea to the West Coast, as soon as shipping is assembled. It will be replaced by one of 'rro army divisions in Ja pan. The Army, Navy and Marine corps are all to be trimmed in 1 the n6xt 18 months; only the Air Force will be increased in man power. Wilson saiu chat among factors influencing the decision, in addi tion to what he called increased opportunities for peace, were that Japan had started to build up its own defense forces and that the ! situation in Korea had become mbre stable Asked whether the cutback would affect American commit- iments in Europe, where the Unit ed States has the equivalent of six Army divisions, Wilson replied: •‘Not at all.” The secretary stressed that the reductions were arrived at with out any connection with the new, reserve training program advanc-i ed by the Pentagon last Friday. Most Beloved Carol Is "Silent Night' .// The most beloved caioi of the many that are sung in all parts of the world is “Silent Night" that simple and tender German song. Its origin was unknown for many years. Recent research. however, disclosed that it was written by Joseph Mohr, an as- j sistant priest in Obemdorf in South Germany. The melody was composed by a schoolmaster, Franz Gruber. _ i The poet and the composer were part of the choir that sang the carol for the first time on Christmas Eve in the Obemdorf church in 1818. The night it was sung the small church’s organ was out of order and the choir sang to the accompaniment of a guitar. Since then the carol has been sung to the tune of almost every musical instrument in the world and in the languages of nearly all men.
