STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Asleep at the Wheel" Cause
of Numerous Accidents
That Could be Avoided
KNOW DISTANCE TO STOP

According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council, drivers who boast of
the long distances they drive be-
tween sun-up and shutdown may
pay tribute to their cars but they
also advertise their own bad judg-
ment. ASLEEP at the wheel" is
much more common cause of acct
dents than most motorists realize.
Far-seeing commercial concerns
employing drivers for their trucks
and buses have arbitrarily set linn
its to the distances their operators
may drive. Should you do less?
When you feel dead tired" or
drowsy, don't drive. If you are
tagged out physically, call it a
day; if you are just sleepy. stop
the car and run up and down the
road few times. Wash your face
with cold water, drink a cup Of
coffee, do something anything
to snap out of your lethargy and
don't tempt fate. How quickly
can you stop your car when you
are travelling at 80 miles an hour?
At 40 miles? At 80 miles? If
you know. you are distinctly above
the average as a driver. Yet,
every driver should know these
safe stopping distances. They will
tell you how fast you dare travel
In residential districts or on I'M
familiar roads. They provide the
safe margins between cars travel
ing in a single line at various
speeds. They may prevent you
from crashing into the car ahead
# it should stop suddenly, or from
running over a pedestrian who
suddenly appears in your path.
Make a mental note of these safe
margins and govern your speed
under all conditions accordingly.
There's safety and security in that
little line that runs down the mid
Ole of the rural highway pave
ment. 1t is veritable life line to
motorists who will use it as they
Should. Keep to the right and you
VIII always be right. While this
Is true at all times, it is especially
important as you approach curve
or the brow of a hill. Motorists
coming from the opposite direction
have a right to expect this Of you.
Don't hold to the center of the
road, even though the highway is
deserted ahead. This practice,
typical of the Sunday driver"
slows up traffic and causes acct
dents. Riding the line is hogging
the road. Don't be road hog.

SOME FROM DOWN STATE

The Delaware MIRA Office in the
Mullin Building, at Sixth and Mar

reiving numerous anonymous com
plants against manufacturing and
mercantile firms in the State, some
of the unsigned complaints are
from Smyrna. The Delaware of

when the complaints are detailed
enough to enable the office to take
action in adjusting such matters.
However, when an unsigned com
plant is received, in most cases
there are not sufficient details to
warrant following it up. Individ-
uals wishing to make complaints
may obtain form to fill in by get
ting in touch with NRA head
quarters in Wilmington. Instruc-
tons are also furnished for guild
ance in filling in the form. When
a complaint gives the necessary
information on such a form, the
investigator is better equipped to
take immediate action in adjusting
the matter. There is a space pro-
vided on the form for the com
plainant's reply to the question:

When the reply is no,
the name is kept absolutely conf
Dental and is, under no circum-
stances, revealed to the alleged
violator or to anyone else. The
complaints are kept under lock
and key in the NRA Office and
there is no possibility that anyone,
who has a legitimate complaint,
but does not want his name used,
will be embarrassed in any way.
While the NRA Office is establish
ed for the purpose of adjusting
it will be handicapped
in its work unless persons making
complaints will show their conf
dence by cooperating especially in
their presentation of complaints.

For many people it means more fish.
more eggs. cheese and vegetables and
less neat and sweets There will be
ample supplies of fresh. salt. smoked
and canned fish. and fish is delicious
if well and not overlooked and well
seasoned
Fortunately this is the egg season
with eggs fresh. plentiful and mex
pensive. They should be used freely
as even the lowest priced group is
really fresh. Cheese is abundant and
gives a lot of food in exchange for its
cost. Dried peas and beans are also
good Lenten foods.
Fresh vegetables and fruits con

SMYRNA MILL DAM BROKE
The mill dam at Sharp's Mill (now
known as Webb's Mill broke on
Sunday night washing structure
and dam at either end away, leav-
ing a deep chasm of about sixty
feet. The bridge was old, the rot
ten timbers permitting leak at
the side which was discovered
early Sunday evening but could
not be remedied and the settling
of the foundation prevented hoist
ing the flood gates. The wash at
the side gained with the increasing
volume of water until the gates
were swept out with a mighty tor
rent down through the meadow be-
low. This occurred shortly after
midnight the bulk of the water be-
ing out by the morning. The wat
er when the leak occurred was
only up to what is called a full
head, with some washing from the
head gates. The gates were put
in thirteen years ago last August;
the maximum time for mill gates
is twelve years. The property has
been in the possession of William
Sharp since 1847 when it was
changed from a bark to a grist
mill. 1t is a serious loss to him
so much so that in the amount it
will take to repair it, some $1,000
or $1,000 that at his advanced age
he does not feel able to do any,
thing with it. The Peterson heirs
or rather John c. Cornit of Odessa
holds a mortgage on the property
it is said for $4,000 In this I'M
settled condition as to proprietor
ship, the people feel much concern
as to the result. In the first place,
the trade in the direction of Do
yer is cut off right at the town
limit and in the second place there
is great anxiety on the part of the
people lest it should be delayed I'M
til the warm suns should make a
malarial hot-bed of the muddy bot
tom. IF it should require a legal
process to effect ownership, it may
take months and at the best two |
Or three months may be required
to put the dam in complete readi-
ness for travel.
