tainment.

business and professional men Of Ana

community, will be held in the Ana
costa Junior-Senior High School

of all the nearby communities. The
talent for the show will be drawn
from strictly local contestants and
the sponsor will be limited to two
entries. The business men of the
community will be solicited for cash
contributions with which to buy
prizes for the winners in each event,
consisting of soloists. instrumentalists
and skits. The affair will be held in
the school, Sixteenth and r streets
southeast, and entries will close
March 9. The show will be preceded
by q short business meeting. Edwin
Simensen, president, announced that
the meeting and show had been
advanced to March 19 instead Of
March 26 because of Good Friday
occurring on the latter date.
The president was empowered to
appoint committee to draw up con-
stitution for the association. The pre-
vious constitution had been mis-
placed" The committee consists of
Mrs. William j. Plemmons, chairman;
Fred Gould, Frank Reed and Capt.

OBEDIENCE ASKED
TO CUT AUTO TOLL
Plea of Hazen Comes as
Pedestrian CareIessness
Figures Are Stressed.

Aroused over the rising number of
deaths in traffic accidents, attributed
primarily to disregard of traffic regu-
lations, the Commissioners have ap-
pealed for a greater public obedience
to traffic regulations.
The declaration came late yesterday
from Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
after a conference with Edwin S.
Hege, member of the Traffic Ad-
visory Council and a delegate to the
Federation Of Citizens Associations.
From all thoughtful and law-abid-
ing citizens We ask and expect serious
cooperation in our efforts to put dr.
end to the unnecessary killing and
manning of human beings on local
highways" said Commissioner Hazen.
Pedestrians Found at Fault.
From the group of deliberate and
willful violators of traffic safety meas
ures we expect no cooperation, but
it is perhaps advisable to handle
members of this latter group in a
manner more promising of beneficial
results.
"As an example Of the situation
that is causing concern to us and
to the Traffic Advisory Council, l3
pedestrians, ranging in age from 80
to IS years. died of injuries received
in traffic disasters in January. 1887.
OF that number, II either disregarded
traffic signals or lights or declined
to use cross walks in attempts to
cross the streets
Shows Disregard Of Safety.
Hege, in his appeal to the Commis-
sioners, said that of the l3 deaths
listed for January, were attempting
to cross streets not at cross walks, 4
were attempting to cross streets
against signals or red traffic lights,
/ was walking in roadway instead
OF on a sidewalk, and l was at
tempting to cross at a dark inter-
section.
In most of the cases of the Il
fatalities" he said. there was evil
dence of poor judgment in disregard
ing signals or red traffic lights or ir
avoiding cross walks" He added
1T is a sad indictment of motorists
that right-of-way privileges of pedes-
trains are too seldom recognized
despite the fact that practically al
motorists are at times pedestrians"
