James D. Harrison, director of the commission said. “But the law of weather averages is against us from here on." Last December 128 persons died in traffic accidents. Harrison said a statewide “don't let death take your holiday" campaign "has already been a partial success." , “lif drivers and pedestrians will continue to observe the present statewide campaign." he said, “we can preserve the happiness in many homes."

Passenger and baggage coaches took off across the flat desert terrain. it was the second wreck for the City of San Francisco on the Ogden division of the Southern Pacific. . On Aug. 13. 1939, the streamliner was wrecked near Carlin, Nev., with a loss of 24 lives. Relief trains sent from Ogden ■ returned here early today with the passengers from the streamliner. Work crews were clearing the right of way resetting streamliner cars , on the rails. Officials said the flat sandy terrain at scene of the derailment, plus automatic braking devices , which stopped the powerless string of cars saved the passengers from injury. Cause of the derailment was believed to have been a broken wheel . on the lead baggage car, imme- , diately behind the three-unit diesel . locomotive. k 1 ■ 1 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur I
