!special woman's award. by bringing deserved public recognition to abII.' women in Government, will assist in the recruitment of young womell of high potential who may be un­ilwar(' of the opportunities for wo­men in Government.

One reason, she said, that th~

gener'al public is less aware of w 0 men scient ists, stati.s ticians, Writers. nurses, and administrators in big jobs is the fact that men in government service 0 u t numb('r women more than four to one.

Of ~Mcist lt4iUt.y~ , A\~C e ran I Rockets Killed In Accidents Siale-Gricliron Meel Veterans Day is to many people a day dedicated

chiefly to the nation's military dead. Certainly on this day, as on all others, they deserve honors and will receive them. But Veterans Day is also a good time for us in the Armed Forces to tip our cap to the millions of Americans who served thei r country well. from 1898 through Korea.

Auto accident statistics for 1959 disclosed that m en on leave or liberty in the 20-24 year bracket ac­counted for most of t he over 500 lives lost. D uring the same period, a bout 5,700 N a vy a nd Marine Corps personnel were hospitalized, ac­cording to BUPERS NOTICE 5101, dated 20 Sept.

By Chuck l\lnngold, Athletic Director ~

The Station football team plays the powerful Mc­Clellan Air Force Base eleven this Saturday at Kelly Field; game time is 1: 30 p.m. There is no admission charge.

They range from bearded octogenarians to men still in their mid-twenties, from men in humble walks of life to the man we have just elected as our next president. One al1d all, they rate our salute on this day when-in one of the most moving of all national rites- the bugler at Ar­li rtgton N ational Cemetery honors those veterans who fell in battle or have since left us.

Grim as the picture might h ave been, there were some encouraging MpectS. T he adm ission rate for naval personne l inju red was the lowest of the last 10 yea rs and t he death rate t he lowest since 19M.

The ~Iarine Corps made the g reater impro\'eme nt o\'er 1958 but continued to have highe r ratcs ths n the Nal'Y. Their office r and e nlisted personnel contribu ted to t hc reduc ­tion, while in the Navy, it was CIJ ­

l isted personnel responsible for the r eduction.

T he Civil W a.r, of course, is no 10ngeF ~eprescnte4 by the living. ' It is almost a year smce Walter W . Williams,. a "eteran of the Confederacy, died at the extraordinary age of 117. But nex t year, in the centennial observance of that war, the nation will pay its solemn respects to the men who fought on both sides of -four bloody, heroic years. Most accidents occurred over the

week e nds, the fewer on W ednes­da ys. H ead injuries accounted for on e out of every three a dmissions for auto a cciden ts. Admission ra tes wer e highest for Ma rch and April, lowes t in Octobe r a nd Decem ber .

Meantime, we in uniform, ·wherever we go, wherever we.. look, we see veterans- men who were at San Juan Hill, G:llateau Thierry, Omaha Beach, Iwo J ima, H eartbreak Riqge. November 11 is their day- but every day of every ~r members of the Armed Forces can pay them the cQr<lial respect that is their due.

The Ninth Naval District came up with a n outstanding 32 pe r cent reduction in admissions while th~ death r a te declined 66 pe r cent in the T hird N a va l Dis trict a nd 55 pel' cent in the P otomac a nd Severn R iver N aval Commands.
