HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
HEAR OF SAFETY PLANS|
Told What to Do and What to
Avoid TO Prevent Ac-
cidents.

The whole story Of safety can he
told in three words. stop. look and
listen." II. j. Foster. director Of the
National Safety Council told the High
School students at assembly this
morning. stop before you get into
a dangerous place look both ways.
and listen for the invisible danger. In
that way nine-tenths of the accidents
in this county could he prevented"
Mr.. Foster. who WAS introduced by
l.. A. Du Blois, former president OF
the local Safety Council, gave the
students concise and helpful advice
this morning There are more acoi-
dents in the United States than any
other country" he told them. only
10000 soldiers died from wounds and
disease during the war. but 100 900
people are killed by accident annually.
and thousands are badly injured" Mr.
Foster spoke little OF accidents In in
dustry, emphasizing those in public
and In the home. He said that one
third of the accidents take place in
public places, where Automobiles.
trolley cars and railroad trains are
the chief sources of danger. Most of
the accidents are caused by sheer
carelessness. as SO per cent OF auto
mobile accidents could be prevented II
pedestrians would look where they are
going and il drivers would be careful.
Pure accidents from slippery side
walks, open man holes, and things
falling from roofs are fewer. The
speaker commended women for being
more careful and timld In public plac-
es SO that they are less often injured
than men. 1T is not courage to be
foolhardy and show off," he warned
the boys. It's cowardice to risk
your own and others lives in taking
chances"
The girls were warned against care
lessness in the home, for they are the
victims of most accidents there. Falls
from tops Of stairs and from chairs
cause mary injuries. Carelessness
with fires and matches cause the death
the girls never TO clean silk or wooden
garments with gasoline, as rubbing
may cause static spark and start
combustion. Zone breath of flame
and you're gone" was his warning.
lie emphasized carefulness with gas
and electricity, advising the students
never TO put crepe paper around
electric light bulbs.
That his talk was appreciated by
the student body was proved by the
hearty skyrocket yell given under the
leadership Of one of the seniors.
Following selection by the orches-
ira, two of the seniors spoke. George
Wilson gave the history Of the Pana-
ma Canal tolls exemption, and Ralph
Bailey spoke on Education For Bust
