Countywide Safety Council Planned At Santa Ana Council Receives Support Of State. Will Have Countywide Safety Council Planned At Santa Ana Council Receives Support Of State. Will Have Seven Point Program Nearly 100 men and women of Santa Ana met Tuesday night to find a remedy for the growing problem of traffic deaths which totals now more than 700 in Orange county plus nearly 12,000 persons maimed and otherwise injured on county highways during a ten year period. During 1941 the total has nearly doubled that of last year's total. The session was called by the Associated Chamber of Commerce and W. A. Huggins, state traffic safety coordinator, was the principal speaker. Representatives of almost every community of Orange county were present. Huggins stressed two points in his address: That the problem of traffic safety is equally serious in every town, city and village in the county and that in the last analysis an aroused public opinion will bring the problem under reasonable control. "I tell you these facts," said he, "in challenge to your good citizenship. You already know what apathy and indifference can do." Illustrating the widespread nature of the accident toll, the speaker said there have been this year three traffic deaths in Buena Park, two in Fullerton, four in Garden Grove, four in Huntington Beach, seven in and near Anaheim, five in the Brea-La Habra vicinities, three in Tustin, two in San Clemente, two in Santa Ana, five in Orange, two in Costa Mesa, three in Stanton, two in San Juan Capistrano, one in Irvine, two in Seal Beach, one in Sunset Beach and one in Talbert. State Help Pledged Huggins pledged the cooperation of the state of California in a seven-point program that can be boiled down to three objectives; education, enforcement and engineering. The safety set-up recommended by the State Board of Traffic In addition, the prisoners will build twenty-five double cabins at the park, a recreation hall swimming pool, administration building, and will clear the land for two hundred fifty camping and picnic sites and develop all the necessary facilities for the operation of a modern recreational area for public use. "Prison labor will also be utilized," said Judge Pacht, "in constructing fire breaks and trail clearing brush, extending the park road from the State Park to Palomar Observatory and doing other necessary clean-up work."

Committee Reports On Hallowe’en The Hallowe’en committee of the Merchants Association met this morning for breakfast to hear reports on the financial end of our festival. General Chairman Barnes gave a summary of receipts and expenditures showing that while more money was collected to stage the event still more was spent, showing an overall deficit. Various committee chairmen gave their reports and suggestions. The consensus of opinion seemed to be that the whole affair was a grand success taking into consideration the fact that the group had only a matter of six weeks in which to work. Louis Hoskins reported on the Christmas decorations that are to be put up by November 28. The committee on these decorations has been busy laying out their plans and believe they will have the city in gala dress for the holidays.
