Safety engineering and safety education also are considered to have played important parts “The organized safety movement got its start in industry around 1911,” the statisticians note. “Since then it has broadened to cover all phases of highway and home safety. Active support should be given to the National Safety Council, the American Red Cross, to protect life and limb.” | Despite the improvement in the record, the sta- | tisticians point out, a ‘deplorably high toll” of about 100,000 lives is exacted by accidents yearly. | A Billion Per Year i | (Fairabnks News-Miner) ! The Tax Foundation, Inc., of New York City, a | non-partisan, non-profit organization, has produced figures showing that Federal expenditures on subsidies t riculture during the years from 1934 to 1948, in- | clusive, were approximately 15 billion dollars or roughly | 1 billion per year. | Records show that potato growers (but not those | in Alaska) got an eye-opening $225,000,000, while ched- dar cheese producers received $67,635,000 from the Federal treasury. Here is a list of other principal subsidies: Commodity Credit Corporation payments for dairy production, feed, wheat and cheddar cheese — more than 2 billion dollars. (The corporation announced re- cently that it lost 599,000,000 during the year ending last July 1 in purchases made to support farm com- modity prices.) and other organizations devoting their time and energy | | | —_— | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA ° OCTOBER 26 . ° o ° .
