800 SAFETY PLACARDS
PUT IN SHOP WINDOWS
Posters Warn of Fatalities Caused
by Ignoring of Traffic
Rules.

In an effort to avoid repetition of
the Districts high traffic death toll
in December last year, officers in the
precincts today are distributing more
than 300 placards for use in show
windows throughout the city as a
warning to motorists and pedestrians.
The posters were sent out yesterday
by Inspector William E. Holmes, traffic
supervisor Of the Police Department,
with the admonition to precinct police
that this needless traffic slaughter
must be stopped"
The posters emphasize the heavy
toll exacted by traffic in the Nation
during the last year and focus atten-
ton on the dangers of walking against
traffic lights and with, instead of
against, traffic on the highways. In
block letters, the placards tell the
reader that 1859 pedestrians were
killed walking with traffic and 300
lost their lives crossing against sigma
lights.
These cards will be placed in con-
spicuous places Inspector Holmes
said. Il think in bringing to the
attention Of the public these alarm
ing figures, they will do some good"

 are 23 pistols, 23 rifles and 8 shot guns, which have been assembled

 Jorgensen, who about a decade ago displayed his collection in a local window, estimated their total value of several thousands of dollars. He said he possesses approximately twice the number that are display cd.
 Jorgensen said he had made the collection of guns as a hobby and that they are priceless to him. They were placed in the hardware window Thursday and immediate ly attracted considerable attention of passersby, The collection will be displayed until after the Fourth of July.
