Middletown Wins Safety Contest With Air Force Base
Over Air Force Base City’s final effort Middletown edged Scott Air Force Base in Illinois to win last year’s city base safety contest. Both communities had similar populations and accident death totals, but Middletown reduced total fatalities to 11 while the base had 12. The close year featured a 6 6 tie in April and a 11 to 10 lead for the base in November before December incidents swung the result. The idea, proposed by Lt Col Hall and Jack Scott, aims to reduce accidental deaths and will continue through 1961 with city and base officials coordinating efforts. Police Chief Joseph Blackmore handled the paper work.
