colOrS. I'm sure It's a great In
terest to all the IA girls of Wilson
school.-Marilyn Fngle, IA.
In the eight three class we have
organized an English club. In this
club we have programs each week,
sometimes on other days, besides
the one we have set which is Fri
day.
We have chosen officers for this
| club. The officers are: president,
John Harrington; vice president,
Holmes Lemon; secretary, Virginia
Shoupe. There are two sergeants-
alarms, a boy and a girl. They
are, Varnell Knight and Mirion
Knietz.
At Wilson school we have many
Camp Fire groups. l am in one
consisting of six girls. We have to
have six to have a group. Our
guardian is Mrs. Hutchins. She is
the wife of one of our teachers.
We decided to start with six and
then after we are more organized
we will bring other members in.
Almost all of the girls want to join
Camp Fire. In fact, l even know a
little boy who wants to join.-Lu-
cille Burke, IA.
In wood shop the boys in the
seventh and eighth grade are MAX
ing box. First we made the sides
and the ends. After we planned
the sides and ends we made the
bottom. After that we nailed the
bottom, sides and ends together.
Then we started to make the top.
Later we are going to put hinges
on the box and varnish or paint it.

The seven two class of Wilson
school is honored with a pupil who
without doubt is the best artist in
the school. His name is Donald
Macintosh. He draws pictures of
famous men, movie stars, and even
his own classmates. He can even
draw cartoons using every letter
of the alphabet-Reed Anderson,
IA.
Boy! is their excitement in Will
son school. The chances are ten to
one that we will get out of school
early. Why? Because most of us
want to see that splendid picture
at the United Artists theater. The
name of this educational picture
is, The Last Days of Pompeii. =

State Board Of Health
Yarns against Rabbit Fever

With the opening Of the rabbit
bunting season the State Board Of
Health is warning hunters, market
men. housewives, and others who
handle wild rabbits to guard against
catching tularemia or rabbit fever" ."
The disease is contracted through
exposure when handling flesh or
skinning infected game animals, es-
pecially rabbits. Last year several
cases of tularelnia we're reported in
the northern part Of the State. and
the seasonal prevalence always oc-
ours during the height Of the hunt
ing season. Since the disease results
in severe discomfort to the sufferer,
and no specific treatment is known,
IL is hoped that persons having occa-
sion to handle wild rabbits will
abide by the warning issued by the
State Health authorities:
1--NeVer put your unprotected
hands, especially If they have been
cut OF scratched, inside wild rab-
bit
2---If possible, wear rubber gloves
when handling the uncooked flesh Of
wild rabbits.

SPORTSMEN URGED
TO BE CAREFUL
Firearms Caused S,1OO Deaths In
Country Last Year

As thousands of Delaware SPORTS
men make preparations to partici-
pate in the opening of DeIaware's
cunning season, November Is, the
Delaware Safety Council cautions
sportsmen as to the hazards invoI-
Ved when firearms are handled in a
careless manner. National statistics
indicate that firearms caused 3,1OO
deaths in 1884, and AZ per cent of the
fatalities occurred in January, OctO-
Der, November and December. Many
mishaps will be averted If hunters
will be guided by the following sug-
gestions, the Council stressed:
Never point a gun in any direction
where an accidental discharge may
do harm.
Always assume that every gun is
loaded until you prove it to be other
wise.
Never leave a gun in such a posi-
tion that a dog or companion may
accidentally discharge it.
Unload your gun before departing
from the hunt.
The safe method Of going through
a barbed wire fence is to place the
gun through first, muzzle to the
front. When this has been accom-
plished the hunter should then go
through or under and pick up his
gun.
Never fire at any moving object
until you are able to determine ex-

DELAWARE CUTS

FATALITIES
So Deaths So Far In 1895.
Is Reduction OF Eight.
Over Date Last Year.
RECORDS BEING KEPT
Number Of Child Victims
Has Been Held AT Fifty
Per Cent Of 1894 Figure.

Fifty-nine persons have been kill
cd on DelaWare's highways to date
in 1885. Delaware Safety Council
officials point out that this figure
represents saving Of eight lives
over the corresponding period OF
last year. Traffic accident trends
compiled by the National Safety
Council show Delaware as one OF
% states reporting fewer deaths.
This saving in lives, it was pointed
out. has been accomplished in the
face OF a substantial increase in the
states automobile registration and
quantity of gasoline consumed.
According to J. James Ashton, as
sistant manager Of the Safety Coun-
ell, child deaths have been reduced
so per cent over last years figures
Pedestrians have been run down at
the same rate and constitute the
only classification that has failed to
make reduction. Next to child
deaths, passenger fatalities have ex-
perlenced the largest decrease.
Adults also show slight decrease.
New Castle county reports 81 au-
tocides for 1885 as compared with AZ
for 1884. Kent county has suffered
an increase this year over last, IL
against is. and Sussex county is
charged with fatalities for each
year. Wilmington reports 10 fatali-
ties. This figure represents no
change.
Map Indicates Death Scenes
In the Safety Councils Offices
large fatality spot map indicates the
location Of each autocide. Different
.coIored pins are used for each year.
A glance at this map indicates that
the fatal accidents are not occurring
il the same locations as last year.
In 1884 the largest clusters Of fatal
isies occurred between Wilmjngton
and Naaman's Road ana between
Smyrna and Dover For this year the
strips of highway where deaths have
occurred most frequently are in the
vicinity of New Castle and Harring-
ton.
Delaware, it was said, has an ex-
celent opportunity to better last
years safety accomplishments in the
automobile classification. Last year
