the 74-page document.
 The paragraph in which it ap- pears reads as follows:
 For many years close friend of Mayor Hayes and of Comptrol- Ter Leary's and a heavy stockhold- Company, private enterprise of CT in the Electric Steam Sterilizing Leary's, has been Thomas J. Spell lacy, Mayor of the City of Hart ford. In 1883, the law firm of Spellacy, Ryan and Yoemans re- ceived $11,000 from the City of Waterbury, in part, for MT. Spell lacy's services in holding the Democratic members of the gen. eral assembly together in legisIa- tive matters. His employment by the Mayor and the Comptroller was in violation by them of the city charter. The Grand Jury has discovered no legitimate reason nor legal justification for the ex- penditure of this large sum of the city's money for this purpose. The services were not of such nature as to have required payment of ANY money by the city to any person."
 Not a single other word in the lengthy report is underlined.

The organized safety movement
has reached high point of efficieh-

Sporadic, desultory, localized safety
campaigns have proven almost
worthless. Instead. the safety educa-

casualty insurance industry through
its National Conservation Bureau,
state governments and numerous
commercial and non-cOmmercial
groups, is attempting. with a high

Thus, the safety experts are do
ing all they can-and they are do
ing the biggest and best job in their
history. The rest-and this is some
thing you can't repeat too often-is
up to the motorist and the pedes-
trian. The safety workers can offer
you advice-but they can't open your
ears and eyes if you insist on being
deaf and blind. They can show you
the road TO safety-but they can't
make you take it.
This war is your war. 1t is being
fought to save your life, the lives
of your friends and families, your
