ty program, a stronger driver li-
censing law, expanded motor ve -
hide inspection, research dealing
with the medical aspects of traffic
safety, protective headgear for
motorcyclists, the regulation of
commercial driver training
schools and driver education for
Texas youths - all elements in-
cluded in the new legislation.
The Association President, who
attended the recent ceremonial
signing of the safetybills in Austin,
also has commended Governor John
Connally for his "initiative and
leadership in getting urgently -
needed traffic safety legislation
passed,” and for his "sincere in-
terest in the general welfare of the
people of Texas."
He called on all Texans to sup-
port public officials in their efforts
to implement the new safety mea-
sures.
“The success of the official new
safety programs, designed to save
lives, stop needless injuries and
reduce the economic loss caused
by traffic accidents, depends, to a
great extent, on public accep-
tance,” Edmondson said.
“I urge every citizen of this
state to cooperate in this meaning-
ful effort.”
The Texas Safety Association is
an independent, non-profit, and
non - partisan organization which
was chartered in 1939 "topromote
the conservation of human life.”
Its fields of activity also include
non-transport accident prevention
programs.
The Association is fully ac-
creditated by the Chapter Confer-
ence of the National Safety Coun-
cil as the public support safety or-
ganization for the state.

A street light glows because
many electrons flow through a
wire in the bulb. The wire gets
very hot, but doesn’t burn because
fire needs air, and the bulb is a
vacuum.
The utility pole, a familiar part
of the American scene, brings
electric light, heat, power and
communications to you. It is a
vital symbol of a better way of life.
