Volunteers Assistance.
DR.. Sheehy volunteered any as
sistance he can give in the safety
drive and has been a close listener
in on The Stars RADIO broadcasts
to get ideas as to how he, as ex-
ecutive 0ficer at the university, can
best cooperate. He said today that he
never saw q campaign better Or
ganized or more universally popular.
He attributed that to the fact that
street safety is question that ap-
peals to all the people, that the
problems Of making the streets safe
have been SO well explained and
that the people have confidence In
The Stars leadership.
We at the university are deeply in
terested in civic welfare and glad ut
all times to help In citizen activities.
We are so organized that we can rem
der very effective assistance, believe,
and we are glad Of an opportunity to
do 1t and to work with The Star and
the various civic organizations and
other educational institutions"

persons have been killed and many
more injured.
Because Of its size and weight
this type OF vehicle Is extremely dam
gerous when not maintained in . safe
condition and operated by an alert
and careful driver.
Being aware of this responsibility,
will endeavor to see that every We
hicle owned and operated by the
American Storage Co. is maintained
In q safe and proper mechanical
condition and further that only
thoroughly competent drivers are
employed"
Belief the local safety campaign
will spread throughout the United
States and "go down as q transporta-
ton event Of great importance" is
expressed in letter to The Star
Council from the National Communi-
cations Association, an organization
devoted to historical and educational
work in the fields Of transportation
and communication.
The letter, signed by George H.
Bakersmith, president: L. w. Nelson.
vice president and treasurer, and M.
J. Myers, secretary, follows:
"Oficers of this organization wish
to assure you that we are in harmony
with your movement for greater traf-
nc safety on the streets of our city.
Think 1t Is q step in the right direc-
ton and 1t is sincerely hoped good
results will follow and have a lasting
effect.
lone phase Of our hobby is trans
portation neutrality-suspicious.
in the United States of America, and
1t seems that you have initiated a
movement that should spread all over
this fair land Of ours and 60 down as
q transportation historic event of
great Importance.
1T is not greater speed that we
need, as SO many imagine, in trans
porting ourselves and property from
place to place, especially in the
streets Of large city. What we do
need is greater wisdom in the use of
these marvellous transportation IA
cilities we have today at our constant
beck and call. The pedestrian, flesh
and blood. cannot stand up against
these steel engines Of death hurting
through our streets and over the
highways, many times driven by ire
sponsible youngsters, intoxicated per-
sons and others who have no business
trying to operate q machine at ALL
At the same time the pedestrian
should not be excused from exercising
due caution at all times and obeying
lights and signals"

TEN WORKMEN IN AUBURN, MAINE,
 WERE INJURED
Explosion Took Place in Cement Room of Venus
 Shoe Company ,.

< Auburn, Me, Feb 20-(UP)
 Ten workmen were burned or other wise injured here today in an ex- plosion in the cement room of the Venus Shoe Manufacturing com pany's plant. The injured were taken, to the Central Maine hospi- tai at adjacent Lewiston. Extent of their injuries could not be de- termined immediately. The explo- sion was followed by fire but this was quickly controlled. The blast, however, caused extensive damage to the plant and drove out scores of other workers. .~
 The most seriously injured was John Dowd of Auburn, who suf- fered a possible brain concussion. Hospital attaches said his name might go on the danger list. Others taken to the hospital were Henry Dunn, Prosper Shay, Ralph La Rose, Nathan Dritsos, Reginald Cote and Adolphe Breton, all of Auburn, and Amelio sutton and Conrad Ouelette, both of Lewiston. The Venus plant. which employs several hundred hands, formerly was a textile mill. It is a four story brick building on Mill street.
 One of the 10 hurt did not re- quire hospital treatment, and Of the nine taken to the hospital, all butthree had been discharged be- fore noon. Those held for treat ment included Dowd, who doctors believed may have suffered a small fracture in addition to brain con- cussion;. Ouelette and Breton. Bre- ton suffered fractured right foot when he was catapulted through a window by blast.
 The explosion was a series of blasts which started when a barrel of cement softener, containing gas- oline and ether, blew up. This started a fire which swiftly ex- ploded other barrels. i
 Only the plants sprinkler sys. tenn probably averted serious loss, fire officials said. As 1t was, dam- age estimated at several thousand dollars, was confined to the cement room. s-
