Insurance statisticians
hate figures to show that
accidents take more lives
among school age children
between the ages of 5 and
14 than any other cause,
killing 6,500 youngsters
every year.
In 1960, 21,820 American
boys and girls under 19
years of age lost their lives
from accidental causes.
There is little doubt that
the vast majority of these
accidents, perhaps as many
as 90 per cent, were pre-
ventable. In other words,
nearly 20,000 of these boys
and girls died as a result of
accidents that never should
have been permitted to
happen.
That is why Child Accident
Prevention Month, sponsored j
every year by Cuero Post M of
the Travelers Protective Asso-
ciation and now under way, is a
vital activity for Cuero. The
1961 observance has been dedi-
cated to the youth of the nntion
who lost their lives in accidents
last year.
Bill Nami, president of Post
M. pointed to the needless waste
of lives on the very threshhold
of their beginning in emphasis-1
ing the importance of the under-
taking.
"Fully *0 per cent of these
accidents could and should
hove been avoided." Nami
said. “Accident* simply do
not Just happen. They are
canoed by something that a
person did or tailed to do.
It dooon*t moke sense that
this useless waste of life
should happen In a nation
with the resources and edu-
cational facilities that wo
have here In America.

P. H. Breeden, president and chairman of the board,
said the bank directors had accepted the final plans
from Page, Sutherland and Page, Austin architects, and

Over two-fifth* of all dea-
ths among boys from 5 to

tha proportion increases to
one-half at agei in to It. |
Even among girl* at ages 5 j
to 14, accidental Injuries are
responsible for one-third of
the mortality from all caus-
es combined.
Motor vehicle accidents are1
the predominant cause of fatal1
injuries in this school-age popu-1
lation. In the 1958-59 period, they
accounted for well over two'
fifths of the total accident death .
loll at ages 5-9 in each sex. At j
ages 10-14, they were rcsixmsi- j
hie for one-third of the deaths
among boys and almost one-
half among girls. Most of these
fatalities result from children
being run over or struck as they |
play or cross streets, highways
and driveways.
Drownings are the second lar-
gest cause of accidental death
among boys aged 5-14 They ac-;
counted for about 1,000 male fa-;
lalitiea a year in the school-age,
group, which is more than 4 1/21
times the toll among girls. ,
Fires and explosions constitute
the only type of accident that j
kills more girls than boys in the!
school ages. They comprise one-'
fourth of the female death toll
from accidents at these ages.
Firearms accidents also con-
tribute appreciably to the num-
ber of deaths among school-age
children, especially omong boys
aged 10-14.
The accidental death loll re-
mains large, but there has been
a marked decrease in tiie death
rate in recent years. Most of this
improvement has resulted from
reduced mortality in non-motor

Janies Stephen Hogg, gov-

of controversy and some-
time* of violence during his
lifetime.
A voter was either a Hogg
man or he wasn’t, and there
was no middle ground. Like
most powerful political fig-
ures, Gov. Hogg carried his
full quota of enemies almost
to the grave, and ’he was
never a man to turn the
other cheek. But, through
the years, his fame has
emerged as one of the truly
great governors of Texas, j about in his makeup where j jn.s first race for governor
