Show THE Thursday, December 6. 1956 eafefiy Council Declares Open Season on Traffic Deafllns SALT LAKE CITY The Utah Safety Council declared "open season" on highway accidents today throughout Utah as it an- nounced an all-odrive and expanded program to curtail the tremendous loss of life and injury in Utah which last year took a terrific toll of lives, injuries and cost more than $38,000,000. A statewide appeal to business and industrial concerns throughout Utah to "back the attack" was launched recently to provide substantial financial backing to the Utah Safety Council. The increased need for funds by the Safety Council comes from the expanded program to take the lead in the drive to curb highway deaths and other accidents. The funds sought in the drive would supplement thepresent funds already provided the Council by the State Legislature but which are insufficient to meet the needs of the greatly expanded program called for by the San Francisco conference delegates. Such a pro ut gram involves assistance from the state organization to local communities in the development of local safety organizations, and in providing professional, technical assistace to many cities in the annual inventory of traffic safety activities program. A trained, full time professional staff for such purposes is required for this endeavor. The staff also would prepare and distribute factual studies and reports for the guidance of official agencies in accident prevention programs. The Council also would act as a clearing house for all safety matters and provide liaison between citizens and official agencies in furthering safety aims and the solution of current problems related developed by the Council was Utah delegation to the regional conference of the President's com mittee for Traffic Safety held in San Francisco last summer.
