i Signals Safety Campaign Opening Governor Makes Sunday Safety Sunday’ in Texas Sunday has been designated by Governor Price Daniel as “Safety Sunday” in Texas to signal the opening of the Christmas-New Yeai’’s holiday traffic safety cam paign throughout the state. The governor’s proclamation said efforts “to end death and de struction on the streets and high ways of Texas will not fully suc ceed until each driver comes to re alize that traffic safety is a spir itual concern.” AF Announces New Pilot Program c) Students may now apply for avi ation cadet training or Air Force Officer Training School and have their applications processed during the Christmas holidays. Training availability dates, which must be within one year after graduation, may be indicated on the application. A processing period for aviation cadet and Officer Training School applicants will be held at Randolph Air Force Bhce Dec. 21, according to M/Sgt. Ray Wagner, Bryan area Air Force recruiter. Appli cations must be submitted immed iately in order to be eligible for this processing period. Further information may be ob tained by writing to M/Sgt. Ray Wagner, Air Force Recruiting Of fice, Box 5, Room 3, Post Office Bldg., Bryan. Information may also be obtained by calling TA 2-3061 in Bryan. Aviation Cadets is a program for training pilots and navigators and is open to single male high school graduates between the ages of 19 and 26%. Officer Training School is open to both male and female college graduates and col lege seniors who are within 135 days of graduation. These appli cants must be between the ages of 19 and 27%. This program of fers commissions in administra tive and technical fields. The governor urged each citizen to help “awaken in the conscience and mind of every driver the re alization that negligence at the wheel of an automobile is a trans gression of God’s Own Command, ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill.’” He also asked the assistance of every pas tor in Texas by reminding each church member of his moral re sponsibility in obeying the traffic laws. Numerous organizations have al ready pledged their support of the annual campaign to reduce the holiday highway slaughter. In an ticipation of the Department of Public Safety’s annual prediction of holiday deaths, a statewide program is now getting under way through the coordination of the Texas Traffic Safety Council, the state’s official unit, the Governor’s Highway Safety Commission and the Texas Safety Assn. Members of tiie Outdoor Adver tising Assn, of Texas and other outdoor poster firms have con tributed space for about 800 high way signs which will carry the Governor’s holiday safety mes sage, “Don’t Let A Collision Spoil Your Holiday.” The posters were contributed by organizations and individuals interested in the Texas traffic safety movement. “Last Christmas, “Governor Daniel recalled, “the tremendous effort put forth in behalf of traf fic safety during the holiday sea son saved one-third of the lives expected to be lost. The pi’ediction anticipated 95 deaths; there were actually 63 deaths. If Texans can do this once, they can do it again, and I am certain we will again re ceive the same fine cooperation from everyone that helped bring about the major reduction last year.” But he reminded Texans that traffic deaths are up about 6 per cent for the first ten months of this year over the same period in 1958, and fatal crashes are up 9 per cent. “Since December is always one of our deadliest months, “the Gov ernor concluded, “our campaign will cover the whole month and reach a climax during the holidays, when human life should be more precious to all of us because of the special occasion we observe.” Student Jobs Open in Europe ' FRANKFURT, Ger., Dec. 3—To day the ASTS released the number of summer jobs that will be avail able in Europe to U.

Most of the positions are in un skilled or semi-skilled fields. Open ings include farm work construc tion work, resort work, factory woi’k, hospital work, and a number of office and miscellaneous posi tions. Although Germany and France offer the majority of sum mer openings, there are a few construction positions available as as far away as Central Africa.

Nowhere in the United States is the economic “grass” greener than in the great agricultural areas of our nation. New farm equipment has increased productivity. New home conven iences have brought a higher standard of living, and demands grow for an even better way of life. Part of this better living has been the demand for more and better Communications. It follows that as these rural areas expand and prosper, so does General Telephone. For these are the areas we serve. In Wisconsin, for instance, dairy farms are producing more milk of better quality from fewer cows. Wisconsin country homes are bright and up to date. Their standard of living is equal to or better than that of their city brothers. In this one state, Gen Tel plans to spend more than $30 mil lion in the next few years improving and increasing telephone services and facilities. This is a typical example of how we strive not only to meet today’s communications needs—but to answer tomorrow’s.
