Highest percentage of the study —82—-went to College Station for its school traffic safety education program, but it received no points for traffic safety improvement or ganization. Performance was rated in death and injury record, accident rec ords, traffic engineering, police traffic supervision, traffic courts, school traffic safety education, public traffic safety education and organizations for traffic safety improvement. No fatal accidents were reported in 1957, but 11 non-fataf injuries were repoi'ted—an increase of one over the average—giving College Station 60 per cent. The report: ® The report gave College Station only 37 per cent in this heading, criticizing the city for its failure to make adequate provision for accident data for use by other city traffic safety agencies. The group recommended more files be main tained and statistics be kept and made available for public use and study. ® Off-street parking, increased miles of lighted streets and desig- ( Heat the whole hwse^mrf mmm- r > m J ® TIfsiaidiMiErL- GAS AREA HEATERS WITH NEW -> . * Impel-aire HEATING This latest feature of the famed Dearborn Crest really moves a tremendous volume of warm air fast.

Receiving 54 per cent in this field, the city was urged to make more effective use of basic techniques of traffic en gineering. © A severe shortage of manpower —seven men—failure to adequately train new and experienced person nel, selective hiring, more motori zation of force, written traffic pol icies, improvement of penalty rate for accident arrests and cracking down on drunken drivers were the main recommendations of the group in police traffic supervision. The city received 78 per cent in this category. ® Receiving 70 per cent for its traffic courts, College Station was urged to separate the trial of traf fic cases from other offenses, to establish a traffic court violations bureau, to write rules for govern ing traffic case procedure, and tc have the judge and prosecutor par ticipate in a regional traffic court conference. ® Supervision, instruction for safety patrols and instruction in driving were the only weak points found in the city’s school traffic education program. The city was commended for its traffic educa tion in public schools and was giv en 82 per cent. ® College Station received only 50 per cent in public traffic safety education and was urged to great ly expand this field by making use of all available forms of pub lic information media. © No analysis of the city’s stand ing in the field of organization for traffic safety improvement was made because insufficient informa tion was furnished. The council urged the city to work bal'd on this project in an effort to improve its overall traffic safety program. joi* a Clttisfrna? cVI] .* *, '• “Star of Africa” $185.00 V* Carat of Diamonds Emerald Cut Set $269.50 INTERLOCKING DIAMOND RINGS McCarty Jewelers North Gate a.
