Tenny Founder and Executive Director SAFETY activities are most intensive, possibly hitting a new peak for the five years of the Council’s existence. Many new members have been enrolled recently, public safety activities are numerous, clients and members are embarking on a record number of safety campaigns of one sort or another, and several interesting projects are underway. New company members include Fabar, Inc., LagunaTayabas Bus Co., Philippine Manufacturing Co., Baguio Gold Mining Co., Batangas Transportation Co., Bulkley Dunton Paper (E.E.) Co., Philippine Aviation Develop TODAY'S modern, smart home owner demands two qualities above all from any home (furnishing or accessory: it must render perfect service . . . and it must add charm and beauty to her home.

Box 285, Manila, For Free Estimates CADWALLADER PACIFIC COMPANY 337 Perez Street, Manila Borromeo Street, Cebu City ment, and Ramcar, Inc. To Ramcar went the distinction of becoming the Council’s “100th Member”. Meetings of the Fire Prevention Board and of the Manila Mayor’s Traffic Committee have been resumed, partly through Council suggestion. Heavy agendas face both of these official technical bodies. The projected Armored-Car Service is actually being implemented, and inquiries are solicited from interested parties. It is hoped to create a local system similar to Brink’s Delivery in the United States, which will work in close conjunction with the Council’s existing air payroll delivery service. A new public service is being offered by the Manila Trading & Supply Co., in conjunction with the Council. Free “car-safety checks” will be given to any car brought in, covering essential elements such as tires, lights, brakes, wipers, etc. A large response is ex pected from the public to this ex cellent opportunity. Considerable traveling is being done by the Council’s technical-staff members as work becomes necessary in outlying places. Recently safety inspections and lectures were con ducted in Iloilo, Bacolod, Cebu, Ca gayan de Oro, Naga, Larap, San Pablo, Batangas, Subic Bay, La Union, Baguio, Dagupan, and other places. This is in addition to the intensive work being done in the Manila area. Considerable progress is being made in the taxicab industry, as new inno vations having to do with safety and security are being undertaken. Around-the-clock inspections of cabs in the street continue, drivers are being carefully screened and trained, and a Driver’s Identification Card will be placed in each cab within view of the passenger. This is made possible through the cooperation re ceived from the Manila Taxicabs and Garages Association. Security-classes for potential guards are being conducted by the Council for the benefit of the mem bers. New security clients include the American International Under writers Building and the Rockgas Service, Inc.
