MORE POLICE
PROBLEM OF
ROAD SAFETY
Prevention Is The Key To I'm
lock The Question Of Safer
Travel On The Highways

"More police" is the answer to the
growing problem of highway safety,
in the opinion of j. Borton Weeks,
President of the Keystone Automo-
bile Club, who declares "our ideas with
respect to enforcement must be chan
ged, and the aim of our gunners must
be pointblank at the major target
PREVENTION"
Writing editorially in the current
issue of Keystone Motorist, official
publication of the Club, Mr.. Weeks
compares highway casualties with war
losses, and continues: eff we are con-
fronted by situation analogous to
war, it is apparent that the forces to
deal with the problem-if it is to be
dealt with Acknowledgements be well
trained and numerically adequate.
"The education of youths and adults
and improved engineering of high
ways, especially the establishment of
center separations of opposite-bound
traffic, are highly important in the
safety movement, but enforcement by
adequate number of thoroughly train
ed men is vital if the accident toll
is to be reduced.
"a large percentage of accidents
can be prevented if the roads are
adequately patrolled. This was proved
on the Black and White Horse Pike
in New Jersey over the last Labor
Day Holiday of three days when not
a single fatal accident occurred on
either of those great highways under
the heaviest traffic they ever bore,
simply because there was one motor
lied New Jersey trooper patrolilng
every ten miles of road.
enforcement does not consist of
getting promptly on the scene after
the accident, but being there in plain
view for the purpose of preventing
accidents. We cannot win the war
with an unframed corporaPs guard.
We must have trained men and plen-
ty of them, working eternally on the
job"

LOCAL ROTARY
CLUB STAGES
ANNIVERSARY
Sponsors Of POcOmOke's Or
ganizatiOn Present At Its
Thirteenth Birthday

At the latest meeting of the POGO
moke Rotary Club, the program was
specially arranged to mark the 18th
anniversary of the formation of the
local organization.
The Pocomoke Rotary Club was
sponsored by the Salisbury Club, ac-
cording to a provision of Rotary In
ternational making it necessary for a
contemplated organization to be rec
commended by a club already operat-
ing.
Identified with this proceeding Mr.
William Allen, prominent nurseryman
of Wicomico, and Hon. William
Gordy, State Comptroller. Both these
gentlemen were present at the meet
ing referred to, and made most COM
plimentary observations on the sue
cess of Pocomoke's Rotarians.
Some of the members, noticeably
four in number, DR.. Parker, DR.. Sar-
torius, H. Merrill Walters, and Ounce
Asburn, all charter members, have
made most enviable records in at
tendance, "Pete" Walters having been
present at every meeting during the
IS years existence of the club. This
Of course, does not mean that all his
attendance has been made at the local
meetings. According to ruling, at
tendance at any Rotary Club is
equivalent to presence at ones own
home. In that way, Pete has his
1000 record. The other three named
follow in order.
The club as a whole has a most
enviable record for attendance, and
has received many words Of common
dation from the Governor of the
34th District. For many months
back, every member has shown per-
feet marks, and there seems to be no
indication of lack of interest to
maintain the high average.

A NEW FEATURE

On another page will be found a
new feature-a column Of observa-
tions on sports written by Tom Kib-
Ter, head coach of Washington Col
lege.
Tom has been training athletics for
a great many years and should know
whereof he speaks. What "Tom Kib-
Ter says" about basket ball should be
ranked amongst the best criticisms
of the court game. He is an acknow-
lodged expert in the game, and has
turned out many winning combina-
ton.
Sport lovers are recommended to
read this column; learn what's going
on in the State; and note whether
KILLER approves or otherwise.

POCOMOKE HIGH
HAS CREDITABLE
CAGE TOSSERS
Wins From Princess Anne
Thursday By A Score Of
Thirty To Nineteen

Well, from all appearances, it looks
as though we have a pretty good
boys basket ball team this year.
They've been doing some wonderful
team work out on the floor and they
really deserve a lot of credit. They
gave a good example of this last
Thursday night when they defeated
Princess Anne thirty to nineteen. The
boys have received quite few COM
pliments from many of the outsiders
who saw the game. This should make
the school very proud.
The players, however, with all prob
ability would like to see a few of
their classmates also. There really
hasn't been much school spirit shown
so far. After all, the honor is for
the entire school and not just for
the team. The only thing lacking so
far has been the cheering section and
that is the one thing alone that the
students could and should furnish.
If you, the students of P. H. S., will
get out there on the sidelines and
boost them on a little, you'll more
than likely see even more enthusiasm
and effort on the part of the play
ers.

Who said that school children had
it easy?
Well from the looks of things now,
there are about two hundred high
school boys and girls who would like
to change places with him during the
next few days of exams. Now wheth-
er or not the exams will actually be
as hard as many of them expect, is
vet to be seen. But for one thing 1t
will not exactly be play. All in all
it seems that everybody is studying
hard, so maybe it will not be so bad
after all. There will be two classes
in addition to the two exams each day.
The exam schedule will be as fol-
lows. The first and second period
classes will have their exams on We'd
nesday. The fourth and sixth period
exams will follow on Thursday, leav-
ing the third and fifth period exams
for Friday.
One thing certain about the entire
affair is that there will be many re-
lieved pupils at three-forty O'Clock
Friday afternoon.
