SAFETY FIRST CAMPAIGN
is PLANNED FOR SPRING

Make the highways Of the nation
safe.
From one end of the country to the
spring during "Safety-First" cam
paigns. Motorists and pedestrians
alike VIII be taught the stern necessi-
ty of watching out for the other fell
low end thereby reducing the num-
Der of avoidable accidents.
In ach city where a campaign will
be held. police officials VIII cooper
ate with civic organizations and the
automobile club, and they will be aid
ed by the field organization of the b.
+. Goodrich Rubber company, the COM
pany which originated and populariz-
ed the Safety First" slogan.
The need for educating the people
IN ways to prevent accidents was seen
by the Goodrich company six years
ago. The Safety First" slogan was
adopted as catch-phrase likely to be
remembered by anyone who saw or
heard it. To popularize the slogan
the Goodrich company carried It in
all their advertisements, placed it on
sign posts and bill boards and in nu-
merous other ways brought it to the
attention of the people.
The "Safety-First" movement gain
ed ground rapidly throughout the
country. One organization after an
other took it up and launched cam
paigns to make the safety-first prin-
ciples more widely known. As a re-
cult, the number of avoidable accl-
dents began to decrease appreciably,
in spite of the increased amount of
traffic on the streets.
Today "Safety-First" is one of the
most common expressions in the Eng
lish language Everyone knows what
it means. and the princirles it stands
for. 1t has caused people to realize
that .nine-tenths of all traffic accl-
dents are avoidable. 1t has taught
motorists and pedestrians that by OBJ
serving certain simple rules both will
be benefited ard the death toll from
accidents decreased.
To still further stimulate interest
in the "Safety First" movement, the
National Traffic Officers, association
has made arrangements for co-operat-
ing in all campaigns to be waged this
spring. The association will also hold
an exhibition Of safety devices as one
of the features of its annual conven-
tion in San Francisco next August.

NOTICE

State and County taxes Will become
delinquent on Monday, April rs at 6
o'clock p. m. and must be paid by that
time to avoid paving penalty. 1t will
be of great assistance to the office of
the county tax collector if all persons
sending in checks will accompany their
checks with full and complete de-
scription of the property upon which
they wish to pay taxes. This is nee
esary for the fact that many people
have acquired property since March
1st and in many instances their names
would not be listed on the books of the
tax collector. This procedure will
greatly facilitate the work of the Of

possible mistakes or MISUNDERSTANDING.

Interee.sion Of the Saints.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
wonder how many people that read
the caption over your front page arti-
Gle relative to the earthquake In Mex
leo, really understood it. 1t is not the
saints as such that can help US, but all
power and help is from God. The
saints, according to Catholic doctrine,
after having lived godly lives upon
earth are now with God in heaven.
AS they have honored and glorified
God upon earth, God also grants to
their prayers special favors for peo-
pie who devoutly invoke them. 1t Is
God from whom all favors and good
things come, and to whom belong all
honor and glory We are bound to
worship Him directly and not merely
by having the saints pray for US. In
view, however. OF their merits and
standing with God we may also have
recourse to their prayers to make our
prayers more efficacious. Worship OF
the blessed virgin or of any other
saint or of their pictures and statues
Is idolatry and great crime against
God who alone is to be worshipped.
In brief, when statement is made of
Catholics worshipping the saints, they
do SO only in as much as they call
upon them to collaborate with them to
our direct appeal to God Almighty.
