The College Indians were view ed with mixed feelings after the Saturday game with The Citadel (which ended, as you perhaps know, by the Redskins being de feated 19-0.) Most people to whom I have talked are not the least upset about the future piospects for the Indians. So much inex perience, the first game of the season, and playing a team which sports editors predicted would “chew up” the Indians, all com bined to make for too many in fractions of the rules; the thing was, however, that despite their mistakes, the boys played good football, which was rather amaz ing since at least seven of the players had never been on a col lege gridiron in other than prac tice sessions. The “heat is off” now, so to speak, and the Indians should make a good showing when they travel to Salisbury for the game with Catawba this Saturday.

Bailey Reviews City Safety Program Newberry citizens got an over all picture of the city’s 1959 traf fic safety work at a meeting Mon day night, when Sgt. Hoyt Bailey of the State Highway Depart ment presented an analysis of the city’s traffic safety activities prepared by the National Safety Council. The meeting , was held in Council Chambers. Each year, the National Safety Council prepares an analysis bas ed on activity reports submitted by city ofifcials. The results of the analysis are sent to the High way Department which serves as state inventory representative for the Council. In turn, the Depart ment presents the analysis as a public service to the city. Death and Injury Record Newberry reported no fatal ac cidents within the city limits dur ing 1959, but reported one non-fa- tal injury accident. Both repre sent decreases over a three-year average. The Council recommended that an accident location file and a cross-referehce file by drivers’ names be maintained. Also sug gested in the report was that acci dent statistics be made available to, and be fully used by, those persons or departments respon sible for engineering, education, and enforcement functions. Traffic Engineering Traffic engineering activities met 50 percent of recommended performance. Suggested measures for im proving this area of traffic safe ty were that a study be made to determine the need for expand ing the center line program and that more crosswalks be marked. Police Traffic Supervision Information on police traffic supervision reported to the Coun cil was not adequate for analy sis. It was pointed out that be fore a detaile.d appraisal can be made, more records on what was done were needed. This was the primary need for this section. Traffic Courts Newberry’s traffic court acti vities met 46 percent of the re-« commended performance for tins area. Recommendations for strength ening this section were that a traffic court violations bureau be established under the exclusive Continued on page 2 District Dental Group Meets By MRS. A. H.
