Governor Lauds Aims.
The aims of the conference
were highly lauded by the gover
nor in a statement made by him.
He said:
"We are faced with several war
time problems older people work
ing too hard and too long, hurry
ing too fast; mothers unable to
give as much time as usual to
little children; shortage of good
equipment coupled with a desire
to produce more than ever before
these are only three of many
conditions which may incrase
home and farm accidents.
As governor, I wish to com
mend the efforts being put forth
by Nebraska leaders in this safety
program.
Lectures in Ballroom.
All lectures will be given in the
Union ballroom, and students may
attend any lecture, except the
closed luncheon meeting.
On the morning program are
included addresses on the relation
of accidents to Nebraska's contri
bution in the war effort, on the
importance of accident prevention
as related to the current shortage
of doctors and nurses. The main
causes and methods of combating
home and farm accidents followed
by a group discussion will conclude
the morning. An exhibit of acci
dent prevention will be shown in
the ballroom in connection with
the last lecture.
The afternoon schedule of meet
ings which runs until 4:45 p. m
features safety precautions, first
aid, and suggested activities and
educational procedure for interest
groups. Discussion and summariza
tion complete the conference
