The seeretary-treasurer stated
that the Delaware production Credit

association of the Baltimore District

ify his statement. Mr.. Johnson re-
piled that there were three associa-
tions In the Baltimore District which
were outstanding, each of which
have had different problems and con-
ditions, and the Delaware Produc-
'tion Credit Association was one OF
the three.
As Is well known. the Delaware

Motorists Urged To Heed
Stop Signs And Signals

The accident records tell tragic
stories of motorists who have made
fatal mistakes in backing. ALI too
often they fail to look and to be alb
solutely certain that the way was
clear before starting in reverse. 1t
may take a second longer to insure
safety, but it is time well spent.
Look on both sides Of the car. sound
your horn. and then, when you are
sure the way is clear, back very
slowly.
Make ii an invariable rule to slow
down and proceed with unusual
caution whenever you approach
school property where a child may
dart out into the street at any mo-
ment. Children are irresponsible
and their safety very often depends
on extraordinary precautions by mo-
torists. Regard every child playing
in the street or near the curb as a
human caution sign.
Blindcurves would not be called
Death curves" so often If motor
lists would discipline themselves to
slow down before reaching the turn
and to stay in their own traffic lane
until they have reached the straight
open road again. Taking turns at
high speed is always dangerous, ey-
en- though no other cars may be
coming from the opposite direction.
1t is a practice that is especially
dangerous when roads are wet. icy.
oily or rough. Take curves slowly
and always stay in your own lane of
traffic.

will be provided, or a total capacity
of 1000 cars per hour"
The population of the area from
which customers would be drawn In
40-mile radius, excluding the Sec
tion northeast of Chester, Pa, is
approximately 100000 persons, he
pointed out. Within a two-hour driv-
! ing radius. there is a population of
2,500.000 most of whom 1t is antici-
pated will be occasional users of the
tunnel. the engineer explained.
The tunnel will effect savings of
$750,000 a year to users, Mr.. Meigs
predicted. This estimate is based on
the number of persons who use
other facilities to cross the river at
present. A toll of so cents per car Is
proposed.
A saving of fully 80 minutes time
per person In using the tunnel was
cited as another advantage. On the
basis of 100000 cars using the tun-
mel per year this would mean a saw
ing of more than two and one-quar-
ter million man-hours per year, and
figuring so cents an hour for the val
Tie of time, would mean an addition
al benefit to the public of another
million dollars, the Rotarians were
told.
THE improved ease of access af-
forded by the tunnel will undoubt-
edly bring more out-of-state cars
into Delaware, the effect of which
will be broadly beneficial" the en-
gineer said. by adopting the new
cross river route, Washington, Bel
timore, Wilmington, Chester, Phila-
delphia, and Trenton. will all be
entirely avoided and the ensuing
loss of time due to traffic conges-
tion will thus be eliminated"
This increase of prosperous car
movement through the. lower coun-
ties of Delaware will leave large
amount of money In its wake
through the purchase of gas, oil,
food, hotel accommodations, etc., and
in the aggregate will considerably
increase the cash receipts Of the
down State communities"
MIR. Meigs was thanked for his
splendid address on behalf of the
Rotary Club, by William v. Grier.
Mr.. Grier in few, we'll received re-
marks, expressed the appreciation of
the Milford Club, both to Mr.. Meigs
and his assistant, Mr.. Miller.

rather puzzling. A good rule 60 fol-
low, which incidentally, is the law
in most states. is to give the motor
list on your right the right-of-way,
when two cars approach at right
angles at the same time. If the other
motorist is on your left, you can go
first. But be sure he understands
your intention; the settlement of
the right-of-way problem is never
worth a crash.
The laws in some states require
an absolute stop when a motorist
approaches any railroad grade
crossing. Other state laws provide
that motorists always slow down
and look both ways before proceed
ing across the tracks. The law of
common sense makes it clear that it
is good business and smart driving
to slow down always; better still, to
come to a complete stop, and then to
be absolutely sure that no train is
coming from either direction.
When passing other cars In traffic
be absolutely sure that you can do
so without endangering your life or
the lives of others. Allow a wide
margin for safety. Be certain that
If any other cars are coming in your
direction you have more than
enough time to get around the car
in front, even if the other cars
should increase their speed greatly.
And do not, under any circumstan-
ces, pass on hills or curves.

and three-quarter miles.
"The river portion of the tunnel
will be a round cylinder, 81 feet In
outside diameter, constructed piece
meal in place out of circular Iron
segmepts and line with concrete. 1t
will accommodate a two-lane. two

walk-way ON one side," he said.
Hazards of tunnel driving are be-
ing reduced year by year. He said
there are better working regulations
and their engineers have gained
greater experience.
The chosen location, he said, Is
ideal for many reasons. The river
Is narrower between Pigeon Point

else for several miles.
