Middletown Safety Council Aims Seat Belt Push 1962
In 1961 Middletown Safety Council distributed about 25 000 seat belt materials and showed films to 2800 people. For 1962 the group plans a coordinated safety effort across local groups, expanded committees, an off the job safety project, stricter penalties for traffic violators, and a pursuit of funds for the traffic school while targeting no deaths in 1962. The home, industrial, commercial vehicle, and school committees will lead displays, driver contests, and partnerships with the Board of Education and civil defense to address atomic attack and child supervision.

Middletown Fire Department year in review and training plans
Main project for 1962 Safety Council would like a seat belt in every car. All 70 Middletown firemen take a 12 hour peacetime radiation hazards course described as valuable training in pre planning of firefighting techniques. Fire Chief William Fishbaugh notes the class, held three hours weekly, is taught by Lt. Arthur White of the Dayton Fire Department. Plans call for a fire administration school in January followed by an emergency rescue course. Fire inspections show progress with expanded coverage planned. Fire loss for the first 11 months of 1961 rose over 1960, with major fires at Sorg Mansion and Middletown Ice & Coal Co. The 1961 causes skew toward petroleum products, defective wiring, and matches. Fire alarms, emergency runs, and false alarms rose compared with 1960. No fatalities.
