Safety Campaign for Pedestrians

The first line of activity in
launching a community wide street
safety campaign should be directed
upon the pedestrians. There can be
no question that the pedestrian
class which out numbers all others
offers the most fertile field for
such work. When it is realized that
in one city alone during the first
nine months of 1926, out of the 7S9
persons killed in street accidents,
299 were children under 15 years
of age Our first activity then in
connection with this work should be
centered upon the child of school
age. Correction of the conditions
existing with regard to passenger
mercial car drivers, and operators
of commercial passenger. vehicles
should be made through organized
channels. The traffic situation can
be handled if communities through
out the country will adopt those
measures which have succeeded in
reducing fatalities in cities where
they have been given proper atten-
ton. Albert w. Whitney, vice pres
ident in charge of the educational
program of the national safety coun-
Gil gives three fundamental princi-
pies which must be given considera-
ton namely, engineering, education,
and enforcement. Engineering is
broadly used to include the scien-
tific study of accidents and there
causes, the establishing of safe con-
ditions and determining what con-
stitutes safe practices. Education
includes the obtaining and distribut-
ing of information showing causes
of accidents and arousing the public
to the need of personal carefulness.
Enforcement means compelling the
needless minority to observe safe
practices, which the greater ma
jority have adopted voluntarily
through education.--C m m unity

Woman Wins In Channel Swim

Catalina Channel has been con-
quered by woman-and an Amer
can woman. Mrs. Martha F. Hud-
dleston, of Long Beach, is the first
of her sex successfully to negotiate
the long and arduous course from
Catalina to the mainland.
This notable athletic feat was dra-
matte, as was the first conquest of
the channel by the IT. year old
Canadian lad, George Young. Mrs.
Huddleston could not swim at all
four months ago, it is said. This
makes her feat all the more remark
able. She crossed the channel in
bitterly chilly water. She swan
much farther than the first victor,
and she was in the water longer.
But she persisted until she made
the complete course.
This will rank as one of the great
feats in swimming, for distance and
for endurance. It demonstrates
again that sister woman is the equal
Of brother man in courage, and per-
severance, and physical endurance
in tests of this kind.
Catalina Channel has been con-
quered three times within few
weeks. The feat, hard as it is. will
become more or less commonplace.

Boy scouts Anniversary Week

Quite a lot of attention was at
tracted by the scout troops of the
county. in their observance Of the
18th anniversary of the founding of
the boy scout movement in this
country. This anniversary week is
observed each year by all boy
scouts. The scout Sunday service
was held at the Presbyterian church
and on Tuesday evening over 100
men and boys interested in scouting,
were most pleasantly entertained at
the Rotary club. Thursday night,
a county scout rally was held at the
armory. An elegant pot luck sup
per was enjoyed by about $50
scouts, parents and friends. Then
came the 'Rodeo," or contests and
games in which the troops from Nc
Connelsville. Stockport and Chester
hill were entered. This part of the
program contained exhibitions Of
scouts first aid carriers, knot tieing
and various competitive games; all
of which was very interesting and
instructive. The McConnelsvile
troop, which is the oldest in the
county, won the most points and
first prize, fine basketball. Stock
port troop won second place and a
large American flag, and Chesterhill
only few points behind, won third
prize, fine first aid outfit. This is
the first such contest to be held
among the troops of the county; but
it is hoped that many others will
follow. The county court of honor
then met with Prof. Geo.. Carr,
chairman, and Rev. Geo. Van Arts
dalen, county commissioner, in
charge. Second class badges We're
awarded to Scouts Jack Flanagan,
Dwight Miller and VIM Allen. First
