In the meantime, many drivers are doing their best to reduce the work of the census takers," com mented Captain C. J. Sanders, Nebraska Safety Patrol, in sum marizing the Patrol's activity report for November. "This is shown by the fact that Nebraska had 27 traffic fatalities in No vember, as compared to 21 for November of last year, and that the Patrol made 30 per cent more arrests for dangerous traf fic violations than were made in October. The Patrol report showed that i the largest number of arrests) were made for speeding, which! was 478; reckless drivers ac-1 counted for 100 arrests; while! arrests for stop sign jumpers numbered 71, and 61 arrests, were made for drunken driving. Fines, resulting from the total arrests made by the Patrol, totaled $16,061.25, which went to the public school fund. In concluding the report, Cap tain Sanders emphasized, "Don't let death take your Christmas holiday. The minutes that you save by speeding, the quick drink that you might have be fore the trip, or the hope that your windshield wiper and de froster won't be needed can mean that you've enjoyed your last holiday, as well as your last day. The fact that the Patrol has witnessed an increase in traffic violations is evidence that better observance and more caution will have to be prac ticed in December, which has al ways been a hazardous month."
