Excerpt from Memorial Services and Notices of George William Salter, of Washington, D. C: Born, Barnegat, N. J. December 30, 1853; Died, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, S. A. March 27, 1880 The father of the deceased was then one of the teachers of the Sabbath school, and, if I recollect aright, George was one of the boys brought by Brother Dyre to me for drill and instruction in regard to the coming Sabbath School celebration. I formed his acquaintance about that time, and I became more intimately acquainted with him afterwards. He was an associate of my own son, who has gone before, and was an intimate in my own family. I had, therefore, an opportunity to learn a great deal about him in his natural character, as well as in his subsequent developments. He was, what many have remarked of him to me, a natural born gentleman. He had those qualities of head and heart which won the esteem of all who came in contact with him. Amiable in character, he never, so far as I remember, expressed an unkind sentiment, but, on the contrary, his judgments always seemed to be dictated by kindness and love. Shortly after I removed my family to Washington, there was a class of four boys organized, of which George was one. Of these, but one now lives, J. Alexander Edgar, the Secretary of the Sabbath school, and the son of the Sabbath school Superintendent, and I am thankful that every one of those boys were brought into the fold. Our dear George was somewhat late in manifesting his adhesion to Christ, but we hear that it was not a death-bed repentance, but that the seed which had been planted, and the prayers which had gone up in his behalf in former years, had brought forth fruit, and that before the hand of disease was upon him he had considered the great subject of eternity and had given his heart to Christ, and he left a testimony - I believe it was contained in a letter to the Superintendent of his Sabbath school - in which he testified his hope of everlasting life. While I thank God for this very satisfactory conclusion of a career in these three cases, that was evinced under such favorable circumstances, we have reason to-day to be grateful above all things.

Car Safety Wars is a gripping history of the hundred-year struggle to improve the safety of American automobiles and save lives on the highways. Described as the “equivalent of war” by the Supreme Court, the battle involved the automobile industry, unsung and long-forgotten safety heroes, at least six US Presidents, a reluctant Congress, new auto technologies, and, most of all, the mindset of the American public: would they demand and be willing to pay for safer cars? The “Car Safety Wars” were at first won by consumers and safety advocates. The major victory was the enactment in 1966 of a ground breaking federal safety law. The safety act was pushed through Congress over the bitter objections of car manufacturers by a major scandal involving General Motors, its private detectives, Ralph Nader, and a gutty cigar-chomping old politician. The act is a success story for government safety regulation. It has cut highway death and injury rates by over seventy percent in the years since its enactment, saving more than two million lives and billions of taxpayer dollars. But the car safety wars have never ended. GM has recently been charged with covering up deadly defects resulting in multiple ignition switch shut offs. Toyota has been fined for not reporting fatal unintended acceleration in many models. Honda and other companies have—for years—sold cars incorporating defective air bags. These current events, suggesting a failure of safety regulation, may serve to warn us that safety laws and agencies created with good intentions can be corrupted and strangled over time. This book suggests ways to avoid this result, but shows that safer cars and highways are a hard road to travel. We are only part of the way home.
