Accidents To Take Heavy Toll
¥ TNLESS THIS FOURTH is different from
^ all that have preceded it, thousands of
Americans will become dependents on Inde
pendence Day.
This warning was issued by the National
Safety Council as the nation approached one
of its most dangerous holiday periods, and
motor vehicle accidents again lead the list of
Fourth of July hazards.
And it gives one cause to be considerably
startled when the Council announces that one
out of every two persons now living in this
country has been or will be injured in a mo
tor vehicle accident before he dies, if our
present accident rate is maintained. Holiday
accidents, when traffic on the highways is
especially heavy, are major contributors to
this deplorable record.
Second high on the Fourth of July acci
dent list is drowning. Falls, fireworks and
firearms, sunstroke and heat exhaustion,
food poisoning and miscellaneous accidents
also exact their toll.
The Council asks that wherever you are
going on the Fourth, start early and take it
easy. Don’t be in too big a hurry to get
there. Obey legal and common sense speed
limits and keep your car under control at all
times. Slow down at sundown; and hold your
night-time speed below the limit.
Independence Day tolls are not inevitable.
They can be prevented. Police departments
and other officials all over the country wiS
be alert to prevent as many accidents as pos
sible. But always the size of the toll depends
chiefly on the good sense of every American.
Take it easy on the Fourth.
One-Third of Voc Ag Teachers Are A&M Grads
This year, about 40,000 Texas
high school boys received a total
of almost 9,000,000 honrs of in
structions from 937 vocational ag
riculture teachers of which more
than one-third were A&M gradu
ates.
The large portion of A&M train
ed vocational agriculture teachers
in the state brought out in a re
cent survey, said Dean C. N. Shep-
ardson of the School of Agricul
ture.
Of the 937 active vocational ag
teachers at the present time, 323
of them are graduates of A&M, and
110 of that 323 hold Master’s de
grees granted by the college. In

Certificates of completion were
awarded to 19 policemen fi’om 10
Texas cities and Bryan Air Force
Base at the close of the third Tex
as Municipal Police Training School
at A&M recently.
The school is sponsored by . the
Texas Engineering Extension Serv
ice, Industrial Extension Division.
It was organized after numerous
requests from members of the Tex
as City Managers’ Association and
the League of Texas Municipalities.
Wallace D. Beasley of TEES dir
ects the school, which covers all
phases of basic police work. Each
class receives 120 hours of instruc
tion in a four-week period of study.
In addition to regular instructors
from the department, specialists
from police and other departments
in all parts of the state serve as
guest speakers and instructors.
Started in February, and opera
ted during alternate months, the
school has graduated 59 men from
29 cities in' the state, Beasley said.
The next session will commence
concurrently with the fall school
term, he added.
Policemen who received certifi

nity to participate in current re
search developments in their fields.
Students also have the oppor
tunity to maintain such contact,
and to keep up with the work of
full-time research and extension
staff specialists.
Prospective vocational ag teach
ers are required to take at least
60 hours of instruction in the var
ious fields of agriculture and at
least 17 hours’ instruction in ag
ricultural education, which indues
student teaching.
“These high resuirements afford
the prospective vocational agricul
ture teacher an unusually bi’oad
and comprehensive training in the
problems of agricultural produc
tion,” Dean Shepardson said. “This
training, backed by an adequate
foundation in science, also prepares
the student to analyze and solve
the new problems which are con
stantly occurring in our rapidly
changing economy.”
Newton Is Leader
In Reforestation
Newton County, for the third
successive year, exceeded all other
Texas counties in reforestation, ac
cording to a summary of tree
planting activities released by Don
Young, head, Management Depart
ment of the Texas Forest Service.
Approximately 10,385,000 seed
lings were planted by Texas farm
ers, ranchers and forest industries
in the 1952-53 season, extending
from December 1952, through
March 1953. Newton County land-
owners planted 2,341,200 seedlings.
Ranked below Newton, other lead
ing counties in the total number of
trees planted were Jasper, Tyler,
Bowie and Nacogdoches.
Bowie County fairners, for the
second successive year, headed the
list of farm plantings with 574,200
seedlings. For the first time in
recent years, Randall, a Panhandle
county with 108 tree planters, led
all Texas counties insofar as the
number of tree planters is con
cerned.
Most of the tree seedlings wei'e
grown in Cherokee County at the
73-acre Indian Mound Nursery op
erated by the Texas Forest Service,
a part of the A&M System. A se
vere windstorm which struck the
Indian Mound Nursery at Alto in
the spring of 1952, causing an es
timated $5,000 damage, together
with the drouth, seriously hamper
ed the production of pine seedlings
last year. A purchase cf 2,200,000
pine seedlings from Louisiana in
January, however enabled the Tex
as Forest Service to fill all orders
for seedlings. A record production
of 20 million seedlings is antiripa-
ted this year at the Indian Mound
Nursery.
