Span Of Life In US. Lengthening Statistics Show

New York, N. Y., Aug. ll.--The 1T,500,000 Industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance company gre living longer, on the average, than ever before. according to computations made by statisticians of the company which show that in 1936 the ex- pectation of life at birth of thls important cress-section of the general population reached the all-tilme high record of 60.Sl years, and marked another advance In 2S years of steady mortality im- provement.
 In the last quarter of a century these insured wage.earners and their families have gained 1868 years in average length of life, for In the l9ll.is12, period the figure was only 4es63 years.
 Outstanding as the l936 rec. ord was, the gain over 1895 in life expectancy was less than one month. while the gain between 1929 and 1880 was l9 months.
 However, the annual gains in longevity, since 1930, were. on the whole, appreciably greater than those experienced during the period 1921 to 1929, which Is gem orally recognized as having been an era of prosperity.
 "The increasing longevity re. fleets an accomplishment that is derived principally from improv- ing personal hygiene aand the trend to higher standards of pub. lic health practice during these years," the statisticlans say.

 Asked about such an organization today, Rodney Chase, assistant se- cretary of the Chase Co.,, and adver- tising manager, said that he knew nothing about it. He has not heard of such an organization being formed and is not aware of what the per- sonnel of the officers may be, he said.

Pedestrians Clothes
 Affects Visibility
Dark Apparel "Absorbs" Rays of Headlights Reports
 Safety Commission; Drivers, Pedestrians Warned

Responsibility for highway ac- cidents involving automobiles and pedestrians is often disputed. The Department of Motor Vehicles and The Highway Safety Commission assert, however, that records show accidents are caused by both and each must share the duty of avoid- ing circumstances and hazards which cause collisions.
 The motorist must drive with caution, and especially at night when his visibility is limited. He must remember that at the rate of S5 miles an hour 1t takes about 1l0 feet to stop his car. The average pair of headlights, with beams de- pressed. do not show much farther, which means that if anything is wrong with the cars brakes, or the pavement is wet or icy. the car will not stop within the range of his lights.
 Reflections .,
 The driver must also realize that a dark colored object on the road ahead will absorb the light from his headlamps, and therefore he will not see that object until almost up- on 1t. Often that object is a pedes- trian dressed in dark clothing. That means that the motorists iliumina- ton is soaked up by the dark cloth- ing. much the same as a sponge soaks up water. Most drivers do not realize that. They do not know that the only reason they see most ped- estrians. is that the light from their headiamps Is reflected from the pedestrians clothing.
 That Is something for the petes- trian to remember also when abroad on Q dark highway at night. He should, if possible. carry a white handkerchief in his hand. provid- ing his clothing is dark. This will reflect light to the motorist and

Especial to The Democratl


 Bethel, Aug. 11--A man who is a regular" Republican, no compro- miser or candidate of coalitions is to be sought to succeed the late J. Henry Roraback as state chairman. Members of the Fairfield County Young Republican organization, meeting here last night, were urged to send in the name of such a man to the state central committee mem- bers by State President Lewis E. Goodsell who remarked:
 You as rank and file Republicans are not gagged"
 The statement was interpreted as warning that should the young Republicans fail to show interest in naming successor to the late state chairman, leaders of the regular party organization would think they did not care"
 Goodsell continued: "The man we want for a leader is one who has been preparing himself for such leadership"
 He did not name such a man but enumerated qualities the state chair man should have such as ability to speak well; to give all of his time to the job; to have genuine interest in the progress and welfare of the state; whose sincerity and interest will be felt by the people, and one who can see the major opportunities for progress and seize them" With an eye on the 1898 election, Goodsell urged full cooperation of the young Republicans and proposed doubling membership of the organ ization to 30,000 for the 1888 cam paign. He said state committee will start to function next month and
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-11

reveal to him a possible hazard ahead. The pedestrian should not depend too much upon the driver seeing him, because he is not ale ways revealed to the driver. .,
 Silhouttes
 Most pedestrians have a tendency to walk with traffic on the right hand side of the road. They believe that because auto headlights shine beyond them that the motorist can see them. But they may be wrong. The light from the headlamps may extend beyond the pedestrian. but If it does not reflect from his cloth- ing. the pedestrian is not revealed.
 If the highway is lighted by per- manent lamps. the pedestrian will be revealed to the motorists as a silhouette, because the !, highway walker will be between the driver and a background of light.

girls and the boys. And here's to- days extra special news: < George Takes Lead
 George Rizk, three and one-half, son of MT. and Mrs. Naim Rizk of North Main street, is jumped intot he lead by, a nice margin in the early voting today.
 All of the thousands who are fol- lowing the Most Popular Baby con- test have heard of, and from, George. His platform has put him into the lead before and he has been Q strong contender for first honors throughout.
 George counts 16,390 votes by the official adding machine as we go to press. He said:
 Rixk Pep Talk
 "The reason for my success in the Most Popular Baby Contest? Well, that takes some thought. You may attribute my present standing and the fine support given me by the many of my organization as deriv- ing from my policy of refusing to compromise. I am no coalition candidate. There are no deals be- hind the votes which are credited to my name today.
 T take this election so seriously that I do not want my record as Q vote-getter besmirched in any man. ner by the dark clud of subsidy and bargaining by groups bearing many names" he added. There IS only one Rizk party and it's regu- lar. No question as to responsi- bility will ever develop after the election. No pork barrel will at. tract a score or greedy cliques to my headquarters. There will be no pay-off for favors which would de- ter operation of my program as announced to the voters. Ride on the bandwagon with Rizk and you'll be right"
 Politics, No Less!
 Which sounds pretty political to us, ignorant as we are of what is intended by the reference to the pork barrel". However, we're for you, George, if you mean what you say and you seem very sincere. At least. you've put the girls into second place for the time being. And isn't that somethingl Watch for important contest news in the mail. Therell be surprises for the foolish ones who are holding back sub scriptions if they don't get them in pronto (quickiy).
 Keep the votes coming, folks. Keep active. The race is to the strong and plenty of strength is needed to stay with the leaders in this election.
