SAFETY IS SPEECH SUBJECT
Lt. Cmdr. R. C. Van Limburg
was principal speaker at the Ro
tary meeting held Tuesday. He
spoke on the subject of Public
Safety.
Van Limburg is civilian person
nel director at the Naval Station,
and has just completed an inten
sive course on the subjects of
safety as related to the worker on
a Naval establishment. He said
many ways of avoiding accidents
in shops and on the road were
studied. The use of safety belts in
the operation of a vehicle were
demonstrated, he said. The Army
has ordered 1000 of them, as an
experimental procedure, he stated,
but the Navy has adopted a “watt
and see” policy before instituting
any program.
The officer, who is traffic offi
cer at present on the Naval Sta
tion, commended the local police
in their policy of issuing courtesy
tickets for mild infractions and
first offenders. He felt this did
more good than a “get tough” poli
cy.
Other guests at the luncheon in
cluded Tim Gilmore, Pat Lynch
and Joe Huber.
Charlie “Butch” Rush left Tues
day for the States. He plans to
visit in Seattle and San Francisco,
and is expected to be gone for six
weeks.
He is employed at Kraft’s Super
market as a butcher.
