THE DELAWARE SAFETY
COUNCIL SHOULD BE SUPPORTED


From the Wilmington Labor Herald.
without question OF doubt one OF
the finest organizations In the Stale is
the Delaware Safety Council. known as
a local" council of the National Safety
Council
The Delaware Safety Council is ap
organization composed Of representa-
Tive industrial concerns. VINO have
handed themselves to incept principles
OF safety in industrial life, in the
schools, in the homes and on The
street
Its purpose is TO save human life
through the avoidance Of unnecessary
accidenis-accidents caused by negli-
gence on The part of employer or EN-
pIoye. thoughtlessness. carelessness
and through the failure OF having in
dustry adopt The proper and necessary
safety precautions and devices.
While organized but a short time
, IFS prestige i'm the community has al
ready been felt, for it Is an organiza-
lion that wants The light Of day to
shine on all its sayings and doings.
Il thrives on publicity. 1t has held
a number Of important meetings,
general meeting having been on the
schedule for the Hotel dupont Tues
day evening last, which is reported in
the news columns OF The Labor
Herald.
Mr.. l.. a. DeBlois. noted as a safety
engineer who has accomplished real re-
suits in his own work, is the presi-
dent of the Delaware Council. lie
knows safety from the start to finish,
and has given to the organization tha'
attention that will surely guarantee a
successful administration. The seere-
tary. Mr.. r. T. Reed, is another safety
man who is Just full Of pep and who
inst seems 10 breathe safety he is so
linoculated with the medicine he pre-
scribes.
Associated with the organization are
a large number Of safety engineers oi
the various manufacturing plants, large
and small together with the men who
lbaye been designated by The industries
10 have charge Of the individual plant
safety work
These men meet together along con
genial lines. They listen to the words
OF wisdom impaired by the leading
lights Of the game, and profit thereby
themselves. But in turn they pass the
messages down to the foreman OF the
industrial plants and then in turn in me
woTkmen.
Safety Is one movement that demand,
the support OF the entire community
Employer and employe can join hands
in the movement to bring about a re-
duction in the number Of avoidable ac-
cidents. To think Of il! According to
iC w. Price, who was the speaker al
the Tuesday night meeting-in the !!
months Of war, the last figures sho"
that 5O.l5O mon were killed in action ol
died from battle wounds. while in in
dustry 1864 persons were killed by
accident during the same period while
our hoys were across.
It * humanitarian to help save lives
it is taking the right sort Of Interest
in our fellow-man. The work Of the
Delaware Safety Council is based OF
lust this idea, so the organization
should be supported by the entire com
munlty.

LAW OF THE LAND.
Milford Chronicle.

From the Milford Chronicle.
II is the law OF the land that all We
hices travelling upon the roads Of Della
ware shall carry lights when on the
public highway at night, or even one
hous after sunset
This law was enacted by the last Leg
isIature and viii be found in the vol
ume OF laws Just printed In this con
nection we desire to call attention to
the features OF this new law as to the
, penalties for failure TO perform the du-
ties described therein.
One Of the conditions which every
person who travels after dark will do
well 10 look into and study, as it may
be OF vital interest should an accident
! happen. is that which provides that
aDv person driving after dark, or with
out lights on any vehicle. on The pub
/ lie roads Of Delaware, shall have no
standing in court whatever should his
carriage wagon or other vehicle which
he may be driving, be damaged, wreck
ed or destroyed by any other vehicle
which is provided with lights as the
/ law directs.
I'm other words, nothing could be re-
covered by a suit at law under such
conditions, even though ne may not
have been the one responsible for the
wreck or loss.
This law certainly has teeth IN IL,
and in these days OF fast and reckless
driving. no person can afford TO take
} the chances which this law sets up.
When it becomes generally known
there are a few people in every com
munity who in recklessness, or devil
ishness. would take delight in smash
ing the vehicle without lights after
dark. and there would he no redress
for the victim. Therefore, for personal
safety. the observation Of the law
should be general

MRS. w. E. PLATT PASSES BEYOND.

Mrs. Isabel Romney Platt, aged 56 years, beloved wife of Dr. W. E. Platt, died Sunday, June 8, 1919, after short illness, of acute indigestion.
 The funeral services were held in the Thatcher Church. The church was prettily decorated with flowers and white bunting and a large crowd from all parts of the valley was in attendance.
 Mrs: Platt was born March 8, 1863. at Salt Lake City, Utah. She was married at the age of 21 years to Dr. William E: Platt. Eleven children were born of this union of whom five are dead and six are living.
 She is survived by her husband and the following children: Mrs. Ethel Platt Crandall, Mrs. Eva Platt Thorpe, Mrs. Nellie Platt Stevens. Mrs. Clara Platt Good man, Mrs. Lola Platt Johns and Miles Platt.
 Her death came as a great shock to the entire community. Her illness lasted but a few days and it was hard to realize that she had been sick: She was a devoted mother and loving wife, her entire life being wrapped up in her family. She was a true and faithful member of her church. Stafford Guardian.
