TEACH CHILDREN,
KELLER REPLIES TO
SAFETY WEEK PLEA
Commissioner Tells Citi.
zens of Georgetown to
Start Drive in Home.

The proposal to set aside a Safe
ty First Week" here was con-
demned by Col Charles Keller.
District Engineer Commissioner, be-
fore the Georgetown Citizens AS
sociation at its meeting in the
Potomac Savings Bank Building.
last night.
Col. Keller declared that to set
aside safety Week wou:d be
starting at the wrong end" The
proper thing to do. he said, would
be to start teaching children at
homo how to guard against street
accidents.
Col. Keller's voiced opposition to
the Safety Week came a few min
utes after the citizens association
had adopted a resolution urging the
Con rlissioners to set aside snch Il
week. However. he was enthps-
Iastically applauded.
Says Manifesto Meaningless.
Should the Commissioners decide
in favor Of a safety week they
would issue a high sounding man
ifesto" urging the people here TO
be more careful, Keller declared.
But this would not materially
add to the safety of the CON-
munity." he said. The trouble IS
this: Street traffic has increased
tremendously within the past few
years while the education OF the
child against accidents has been at
standstill."

Dear Lonnie, we loved you so,
How sad it was to part,
Just one dear thought of your swee
face
Will cause the tears to start.
'Tis sweet to be remembered,
And a pleasant thing to find,
Although you may be absent
You are still kept in our mind.
We miss your precious footsteps
Lonnie,
Miss your kind and gentle words,
No more in our lonely home

The golden gates were open wide,
A gentle voice said, Come
And angels from the other side
Welcomed our dear Lonnie home.
It is sweet to know we will mee'
again
Where parting is no more,s
And the dear Lonnie we loved so wei
Has only gone before.

In that cold and silent tomb,
Nevermore to look upon 1t
Until that resurrection morn.

Our dear Lonnie Mills who died OF
October 5, 1918. He was called tx
Camp Jackson on September 4, 1918
and just one month later God calico
him home.
Round his grave we linger
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling all our hopes have perished
With the flower we cherished so.
No one knows how we miss you,
We miss you more and more,
Our thoughts are always with YOU
No matter where we go.
Our life is lonesome, home is sad,
Our hearts are filled with pain,
We feel that we will never know
A happy day in life again.
How sad today our troubled hearts,
How dim our eyes with tears,
For death has robbed us Of the one
We thought was ours for years.
Dear Lonnie, four years ago
God called YOU to his throne,
He took our soldier boy away
Which broke our happy home.

DIsapproves OF Discarding Modesty To
Play Basketball,
George County Times.

George County Times.
Basket ball is all right; and like
all other forms of athletic sports. it
develops the physical man but we
are "old timey and fogey' enough to
believe that little modesty would
not interfere with the physical de-
velopment or the interest in the
game. Baseball uniforms usually
covers players person and we see
no reason why it is necessary to dis
card why it is necessary to discard
modesty to play basket ball. We
very much fear basket ball, bathing
parties and other modern forms OF
amusement will cause the younger
generation to forget the word mod
esty in spite of all the preachers try
to tell them as it seems they now,
have only a faint recollection of hav-
ing heard the word used and haven't
the faintest idea OF its meaning.

The Russell administration seems
to hold the whip hand 10 the Sta Q
Senate. having so far easily voted
down any measures which we're re-
garded as slap at the Governor,
such as the adjustment of the State
Pardon; the Insurance Rating Bill;
and the Adjustment of State
Revenue Agent and bill placing such
office on Salary basis. All these
measures came up from the house
passed with safe majorites but met
a quick fate in the upper branch of
the legislature, and rightly so at
this time. II such legislation is de-
sirable after the situation governing
these matters has more clarified it,
self, enactments to that end can be
had at the next session, and mean
time the people will have had a
chance to express their direct appro-
val of such pieces of legislation, by
the candidates for the legislature in
the several counties, making this
issues or planks in their individual
platforms. if by the time of that race
they still have sufficiently interest
to appeal to the voters as campaign
thunder.
