STAR COMNENDED FORSAFETYDRIE D. C. Officials Unanimous in Praise of Three-Month Campzign. As The Evening Star safety cam- paign drew to a close today District officials were unanimous in their praise of the drive that has been carried on for three months to pro- mote careful driving here. The fol- lowing comments were made: District of Columbia Commissioner Hazen—*“1 think the campaign' that The Star has conducted has been splendid and feel that the good al- ready accomplished will continue. It is the only way to make people real- ize their own responsibility.” Police Judge Schuldt—*“I think The Btar safety solution campaign has resulted in much good. Evidence can be seen in the manner in which the majority of drivers are now operating. Conditions have improved to such an extent that it is the subject of gen- eral comment. It has made Wash- ington ‘safety-conscious,’ which is in- deed a great accomplishment. If the thousands upon thousands of drivers who have signed the safety pledges will comply with the simple rules in- dicated, there is hope that Washing- ton will be at the head of ‘accidentless’ cities. I again congratulate The Star upon its great civic work in this wvespect.” Maj, Brown, superintendent of police—"“I think the campaign has| been helpful to a great extent. Pub-| licity given in The Star has con- tributed to reduction i fatalities and waccidents.” Trafic Director Van Duzer—“The Star is deserving of great credit for its safety campaign now completed. Its efforts over a period of three| months to make the streets of Wash- ington more safe has had its effect. 1 believe conditions to be greatly im- proved. Although its active cam- paign is over, I know The Star will continue permanently its fight for| eareful driving.” Safety o (Continued From First Page.) eards received after this date will alto be sent to the Traffic Department.
