NAPPANEE TO RECEIVE AWARD FROM SAFETY COUNCIL OF INDIANA Nappanee again placed in the honor list as being a community in. which no deaths from traffic accidents occurred in 1943. The past year the list of cities receiving this award jumped greatly 'in numbers as the reduced flow of traffic and slower driving regulations reduced accidents throughout ’ the state. The list of cities receiving the awards were announced at a safety program held at Fort Wayne last week as a part of the Second Annual Northeastern Indiana Safety Conference, Gov. Henry Schricker being the main speaker at the banquet at which the awards were announced. Gov. Schricker pointed to the increase in traffic accidents of February of this year of 94 per cent over' the same month in 1943 and said: “the trouble is caused by the unpatriotic driver who has started ‘chiseling’ believing the war is practically over and that rationing is no longer necessary.” The economic loss of last year’s all time low of 717 traffic deaths, 25,000 persons injured and 100,000 motor vehicle accidents, has been estimated at $35,000,000 and a production loss of 1,000,000 man days, the governor declared. A post war safety planning of safety is a current need, he declared, and continued by saying accidents and deaths would jump to an all time high if proper precautions were not taken. Fort Wayne won honors in the communities of over 70,000 population, Lafayette and Peru took the awards in cities between 25,000 and 70,000. Other cities to receive awards in this vicinity will be Bourbon, Plymouth and Warsaw. FIRST JUDGE OF THE ELKHART SUPERIOR COURT DIES SUNDAY NIGHT James L.
