ed my best efforts and energy upon
a major objective of safety within
our organisation and upon our high-
ways, roads and streets. Death*
and accidents are a common foe of
all mankind. Pursuing that objec-
tive, the State Highway Commission
created a safety division within the
Highway Department. The accom-
plishments of this new division dur- i
ing the short period of its existence
• indicate that its creation was a
valuable contribution .1 the pi.mi
tion of safety upon the arteries of
transportation. In coordination with
other existent organizations it has
been able to reduce motor vehic.e
fatalities in this State veiy mate-
rially. The reduction was ma.,e pos j

• Scientific tests have proved that you can read longer
and concentrate more on what you are reading if you
have the right kind of illumination. Children who
study at home especially need the proper kind of light
to enable them to do their best.
Give your children a Better Sight lamp and a quiet place to
study. Then they won’t needlessly waste their energy and tire
their eyes from having to study under a poor light.
Grown-ups, too, will enjoy the Easier Seeing that a Better
Sight lamp brings.
