I PAGE 4 Tuesday, February 17, 1959 Traffic Safety Meet Opens Tomorrow Some of Texas’ brightest young men and women are least aware of danger when it comes to traffic. That is one of the problems that will be on the agenda tomorrow when representatives from some 50 Texas colleges and universities meet in the second statewide con ference on college and university safety in the Memorial Student Center. The meet will continue through Thursday. “We don’t have adequate records on traffic deaths of college stu dents,” declared the A&M Sys tem’s personnel insurance and safety director, John W. Hill, “but we do know, from pilot studies made during the -last five years, that college students destroy themselves in traffic accidents at a higher rate proportionally than do any other persons in their age group. “This is tragic. It’s also ab surd, for these are the so-called The FINEST in food HOTARD’S Cafeteria superior groups of young people, yet they kill themselves off in traffic accidents worse than any others their age. “We are losing some of our fin est and most promising young men and women,” he added “in an area in which we are supposed to be educating them for life.” Safety directors and experts on safety problems from all junior colleges, colleges and universities in Texas have been invited to the two-day meeting. The conference will be held in cooperation with a national effort by the higher edu cation section of the National Safety Council and the Texas Safety Assn., aimed at reducing the tragic death losses. STARTED BITING Cumberland Va. (dP) — The fish just wouldn’t bite for fishermen at Bear Creek Lake. Associated Press staff writer Bill Johnson gave up the fishing idea to play with his small daughter in the water. Just then a bass struck a small mole on his back—hard enough to draw blood. Bill says it was only an eight-incher that he saw swimming away. mmmm Last B-36 Goes to Graveyard In the background is the last active B-36 to serve at Fort Worth.

I have the satisfying feeling that I’m getting ahead in management,” says Charles F. Barefield, B.S.E.E., Alabama Polytechnic ’56. “That’s what I was look ing for when I joined Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company. “Following three months pf interde partmental training, my next training step was as a supervisor in the Plant Depart ment. My assignments were varied to give me experience in handling technical and supervisory situations. In June, 1957, within a year after joining the com pany, I was appointed Plant Foreman supervising a group of men responsible for telephone installation and mainte nance at Auburn, Alabama.” Six months later —in January, 1958— Charlie became Transmission Supervisor in Birmingham. “This assignment in volves responsibility for accepting newly installed systems, analyzing performance and recommending modifications for im provement,” Charlie explains. “I work with the many different groups responsi ble for engineering, installation and operation of telephone circuits. These circuits range all. the way from wires to microwave radio. “I have been getting the variety and responsibility I looked for,” Charlie says. And he sees a bright future ahead for himself and Southern Bell. “The tele phone industry is growing fantastically and chances for advancement go along with growth,” he points out. Many young college men like Charles Barefield are find ing interesting and rewarding careers with the Bell Tele phone Companies. Check into the opportunities available for you.
