ADOPT DELAWARE
SAFETY METHODS
Chicago Convention Praises
Work OF the Local Safety
Council.

Several features .of the Delaware
Safety Council program were discuss
ed and adopted at meeting OF the
state safety councils held In Chicago
recently. T. A. Walsh, secretary OF the
local council who made full report
OF the couifci's activities in the state
OF Delaware was much pleased with
the reception given to its program
The local safety Council was the
only ono which had extended it's &C.
tivities over the entire state. The ar
rangements IN effect here regarding
safety education school teachers and
children were adopted as part OF the
general program decided on by tho
various secretaries.
The safety moving pictures made
with local scenes aud characters
which were shown by Mr.. Walsh at
tracted much attention. Cleveland and
milwaukee asked for permission to
show these pictures at public meet,
inx~
II; was one OF the most splendid
conventions ever attended" said Mr..
Walsh. There was an increased en-
thusiasm for everything relating TO
public safety. or course tho great
problem that confronts us all IS the
fact that automobile accidents in dlf-
ferent parts OF the country are in
creasing in number. During last year
this was the most important problem
on the hands OF all the various locals.
Here In Delaware. fortunately. we
nave been able TO keep down the in
crease in fatalities. II was believed
that a campaign of education. forcibly
conducted throughout the year. would
tend 10 lower accidents by awaken
ing a fuller consciousness OF the dam
ger on the streets"
Mr.. Walsh also said n great for.
ward step was the cooperation of
highway associations of the country
in an effort TO standardize highwav
signs and markings. 1t was shown
that in many states. where the high
ways were marked by lines indloat-
ing curves and obstructions close to
the road, painted white, there was
a big decrease In the number of acci-
dents.
