Ask Motorists Aid In Safety Program State Launches New Program On Safety Indianapolis, Jan. 2—An appeal to Indiana motorists to assist the bureau of motor Vehicles in the program it is launching to reduce highway accidents was made here today by Thomas E. Bath, secretary of state. Bath, who has supervision of the bureau, said in explaining the new Schedule for issuance of drivers licenses this year: “The co-operation, patience and understanding of Indiana motorists will do much to help the bureau of motor vehicles succeed with its efforts to promote a new degree of safety oh the roads in our state. “Without the wholehearted assistance and support of the motorists themselves It would be difficult, If not indeed Impossible, for the bureau to make satisfactory progress with its safety program.” As a part of the motor vehicles bureau’s new safety program, a plan under which drivers will renew their operator’s licenses in the month in which their birthday falls instead of by a set date for all drivers has been adopted. Here is how it works: All present drivers licenses are valid, that is “good,” until February 29, 1948. Persons whose birthdays fall on any d?y in January or February, 1948, must renew their licenses by February 29. Persons whose birthdays fall in other months may use their present license until the last day of the month which contains their birthday. As an example—John Doe's birthday is August 24. He may use his present drivers license until the last day of August, but sometime during August and before the final day of the month he must apply for his new operators license. The new license will be for two years and will cost $1.25. The application for the new license must be made in person by the applicant to the nearest automobile license bureau. “The birth month” schedule of license issuance is only for operators’ licenses, that is, private drivers licenses. Chauffeurs licenses and pasenger chauffeurs license all must be renewed by February 29, 1948. «» The bureau of motor vehicles, Bath explained, is starting a very

technical and complete method of keeping a permanent record of all drivers licenses. Much complicated machinery ahd filing systems is used to do this. This system will show in the future all the accidents and traffic law violations of each motorist who holds a drivers license issued by the state of Indiana. By consulting this permanent record system and using the results it shows, it will be possible to weed out those motorists who have proved themselves to be mentally or physically dangerous as drivers. It has been proved, Bath said, that a small group of drivers cause most of the highway accidents. If a substantial part of this minority group of dangerous drivers can be controlled, Bath pointed out, most of the accidents can be prevented. 0 FORT WAYNE LIVESTOCK Fort Wayne, Ind., Jan. 2 —(UP) —Livestock: Hogs: 160-225 lbs 28.25, 225-275 lbs 27.50-28, 275-350 lbs 26.75-27.25, 350-400 lbs 26.25-26.50, 100-160 lbs 35.75-26.25; roughs, stags boars unchanged.

Mr. Leßrun was installing some lights at the entrance to his theater when a top rung on the ladder, on which he was standing, broke and he fell to the pavement. He suffered painful and serious Internal injuries and was hospitalized for several days. Reports from South Whitley today were to the effect that the former Decatur man, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Leßrun, also of South Whitley, would recover unless other complications set in. 0 — The population of Europe more than doubled between 1800 and 1900, increasing from 187 million to 400 million. o NOTICE Notice is hereby given to the share holders of The First State Bank of Decatur, Decatur, Indiana, that there will be a meeting Tuesday, January 13, 1948, at its office between the hours of 10:00 a.m. to 2.30 p.m., for the purpose of electing a Board of Directors of said Bank for the coming year of 1948.
