In safety, as in all other human activities, the question is repeatedly asked, "What's new?"
Many answers to That question are given every year by those who participate in the various sessions of the National Safety Congress. Many new methods, devices, and ideas which later became generally accepted first were presented at a Congress session.
Because of this fact, safety leaders throughout the nation have
always found the Transactions of the Congress a valuable tool in
their
prevention programs.. Publication of the Transactions
in small volumes--one for. each Section or Division--permits wide
distribution of pertinent portions of the Congress material to key
individuals at small cost.
The 34 volumes of the 1948 Congress Transactions are listed on the last page. Distribution of these volumes to key personnel is suggested as a valuable aid in the safety program.
In preparing these Transactions the proceedings of the Congress have *
been condensed and edited for reference purposes. Complete original manuscripts, with any charts or illustrations which were used, ?re available in National Safety Council files. Views expressed at the Congress or in this record are those of the Congress participants, and not necessarily those of the National Safety Council.

This knowledge that we can control our destiny in preventing, an accident gives us a
sense of false assurance that often leads to indifference or folly. In fact, many of ns get a thrill out of taking chances we know are foolish and'dangerous.
Secondly, let ns abandon this shy, retir ing attitude so many of us have had in ask ing for funds necessary to do an adequate safety job. For some unexplainable reason, there has been and still is an amazing reti cence on the part of thaqy people who are active in safety, to ask the American public to contribute money to prevent accidents as they contribute to prevent cancer, to pre vent tuberculosis; to prevent polio; to pre vent heart .disease; to aid victims of dis

I. must'leave you today with tire xmpresrion that there aixe no sutyenrious in traffic offenses wberethere are nutigatingdreumstances. It has not been unusual rn my court
for the whole sentence to be suspended. Of
Oh, I know that you people are perhaps course mitigating rircnmstances need to be
saying--"Uniform fines are not fair." 1 be fatn into
always. When I
lieve anything other than uniform fines is definitely m/atrc You people who have to do with enforcement and courts already know that excuses and defenses , in traffic
talk about uniform fines; I mean those fines
which fall upon tim offender who has no
excuse for, his hazarding life on the high ways.
offenses are usually about the same. For Yon judges from toe various, states, may

I could make it You may exclaim, "But' Gty flute consecutive times. Three.years
why should the poor boy pay more than the ago. I ..led. the ticket, Yon see. I wasn't
batik president!" The.bank president .be ' ruined politically.
lieve it not, will how! more about faring $25DO than the poor man; anyway, traffic judges are not the judges of finances--and
it isn't fair to have the punishment for crime different for some people from that of others.
And now that I am ranting for Congress; my vote at the nominating electidn on Sep tember 7th In Utah was twoto one over my opponentand then was no campaigning to
speak of by me. (Of coarse;-! may get' the soda licked off me in theNovember
