During the 1956 Christmas-Ne- w Year holidays, each of four days, traffic claimed 706 lives at Christmas and 409 during New Year's. Last yearw, when msot persons had only a one day holiday, the traffic toll was 224 for Christmas and 160 for New Year's. Council surveys of last year's toll show that 72 per cent of the fatal accidents involved speed too fast for conditions. Drinking drivers were involved in 55 per cent of the fatal and non-fat- al accidents. In an effort to combat holiday drinking and driving, the Council has asked its 8,000 business and industrial members to take a new look at their office parties. "Keep the cork in the bottle or eliminate the parties," the Council asks. Social drinkers not the obvious drunk are the big menace on the highway and the Council warns that three hours are needed to eliminate the effect of two cocktails. "If office parties are kept dry, workers and their families may escape the tragedy of a saddened Christmas Eve," said the Council. v ni,; - C y Melross r Take t a bottle t- - . Jh " J home ... How We Can Help in Africa Africa's needs for economic growth include continued development of natural resources, agriculture, industry, small business, and local commerce. The infrastructure power, water supply, communications and education are basic to these other developments. Much of the capital needed for economic growth must come from outside the continent. Private capital can continue to pro-vide a large part of the necessary funds where an attractive in-vestment climate is established. However, public sources must supply the large sums of capital for development of the infra-structure and for other projects which do not offer a reasonable return for private investors. International agencies, the United States, and other gov-ernments should help finance those essential development proj-ects which do not attract private capital. We must expect that increased American economic aid and technical assistance will be required, especially for the emerging African states. The United States should join with others in channeling more aid funds through multilateral organizations such as the United Nations and its specialized agencies. Present bilateral programs should also be increased. The United States should create a career service to ad-minister and carry out its programs for foreign economic aid and technical assistance. Such a career service would permit more effective training for service overseas. Expanding markets for the exports of the continent are fully as important to African economic development as is foreign capital. The economies of most African countries and territories lack diversification and are therefore highly vulnerable to market fluctuations in price and volume. A high level of American economic activity is of great im-portance for maintaining world markets for African products. We must also be aware of the beneficial impact of freer United States trading policies on the "one product" African economies. Restrictions on the flow of goods within Africa, unreason-able impediments to investment, and bars to the advance of Africans in employment are also inimical to economic growth. 0O0 Salt Lake Area Readies Huge Yule Observance Salt Lake residents this week were putting finishing touches on preparations for Christmas. The year's biggest holiday will be observed Thursday. Aided by unusually good pre-Christm- as weather, shoppers al-most jammed downtown Salt Lake City streets for the past month. ,The Salt Lake City postoffice has been snowed under a record inflow and outflow of Christmas mail and has pressed into service equipment of other government departments and extra workmen to handle the job. The city's churches will be the center of formal Yuletime activ-ity. Special pageants and pro-grams are being presented and Christmas services are planned in most churches. The holiday will be observed by all government departments except those serving on an emer-gency basis. Virtually all busi-nesses will close. Some institu-tions will observe Friday and Saturday as holidays too. What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child that must the community want for all its children. John Dewey. |
