MASS MEETING SUNDAY
/. IN INTEREST OF SAFETY
1t Will be Held in Queen The
atre and Will be Free
to All.

A mass meeting in the interest Of
public safety, free to the public, and TO
which everyone is invited, embracing
not only addresses by safety experts, but
also a thrilling moving picture reel
styled, "On the Wrong Track" will be
held in the Queen Theatre, next Sunday
afternoon at 2.45 o'clock.
Carlton T. Bridgham, president OF the
Delaware Safety Council, under the
auspices of which the meeting is being
arranged, will preside. Mr. Bridgham
will introduce Mayor Leroy Harvey,
who will direct the program for the after
noon. The chief speaker will be Marcus
Dow, in charge of safety work for the
New York Central Lines and who q short
time ago was elected president OF the
National Safety Council. Mr. Dow, is
a wonderful speaker. He has the eloquent
combined with the knowledge of safety
affairs, that makes him in great demand
as a public speaker
A. J. Van Brunt, Director of Safety
of the Public Service Corporation Of
Newark, y. j., will also address the
meeting on some OF the problems that his
corporation has met with and which are
every uay pTODleLls III the Ire OF WIZ
mington and every other large city.
The film, On the Wrong Track is a
movie we'll calculated not only to pro-
vide the thrills arising out of situations
where safety first has not always been
considered but at the same time carries
an argument for public safety that never
| fails to leave It's mark.
There are several extremely exciting
scenes. One scene shows fight between
discharged employees and train dis
| patcher; another represents a fight on q
/ trolley car, and the third and most thrill
ing shows the over taking of run away
trolley car which is stopped just in time
TO prevent terrible accident.
Although it is a public safety movie
the film is one that would attract atten-
tion and interest anywhere. II illustrates
the effort made by a safety man in a
small community to over come local
prejudice, and in which he is eventually
successful. To add more zest there is a
love story and plot running through il
in which of course, they are married
and live happily ever after
The Delaware Safety Council is de-
sirous that every one, whether directly
or indirectly interested in public safety
matters should attend this meeting
next Sunday afternoon.
