STATE TROOPERS RECEIVE SAFETY AWARDSThe dedicated purpose of the State Highway Patrol i3 to maintain safety on Georgia’s roads. For the first time in the Patrol’s 20-year history recognition is now being given to posts with the best safety record—based on a percentage basis—of the 34 posts located throughout the state. Shown above are troop commanders of the four winning posts receiving handsome safety trophies from Col. W. C. Dominy, director of the Georgia Department of PublicSafety (center). They are, left to right, Sgt. H. W. Barrow, Post No. 1, Griffin; Sgt. G. H. Webb, Post No. 15, Perry; Sgt. W. L. Hall, Post No. 11, Hinesville, and Sgt. T. C. Burton, Post No. 5, Dalton. The annual award, named in honor of Gov. Marvin Griffin, a strong advocate of highway safety who provided 100 additional troopers during his administration, was set up by Atlanta’s WAGA-TV station. Georgia’s traffic deaths declined by 127, or 11 per cent, in 1957. (GPS)
