"Only recently has much data
been available on the effect Of ade-
quate lighting on the night auto
mobile accident rate. But every
recent inquiry has shown that in
stallation Of night lighting has re-
duced tremendously the number of
automobile accidents Arnold H.
Vey, traffic engineer of New Jersey,
has made a constructive analysis
of day and night accidents on
well lighted and heavily Travelled
section of Route No. "a and on a
lightly travelled. but unlighted. sec
tion of Route No. 26. On the first
the lighted route-the accident
rate per million vehicle miles was
$40 by day and 2.61 by night On
the unlighted route the average for
three sections was ESQ by day and
500 at night. Another striking ex-
ample is had in the accident rec
ords on the Mt. Vernon Memorial
Highway, which indicated ESQ per
cent increase In night accidents
with lights out Of service as COM
pared with the rate for an equal
period when lights were used.
Human Life Saved
Human life can be conserved by
safe highways, made safe by mass
education Of motorists and pedes-
trians, including school children;
impartial enforcement of traffic
laws; uniform traffic regulations,
and removal of physical traffic haz-
ards. We In the Department OF
Illinois think 1t logical that, In It's
nationwide campaign for accident
prevention, The American Legion
well may consider the elimination
of darkness on highways as its
fifth front of attack"

tremely important. In proof Of this
statement may be cited the expert
ence Of Detroit, which recently an
nounced that s3.O0O,000 would be
expended for improved street light
ing to replace obsolete installations.
This followed test installation on
three modern street lighting prof
ects. Before the new lights were
placed there had been forty night
ONO bile fatalities on these
streets within a two and one-half
year period. The record for the
first four months after the modern
| lighting system was installed was
completely free Of night-driving
fatalities.
Costs Estimated
TN Illinois engineering experts
have estimated the cost of salts
factory highway lighting installa-
ton at less than ten percent Of the
initial construction cost Of four
lane highway. Estimates are cited
to show that adequate lighting OF
public streets and highways is not
too expensive to consider from the
viewpoint of its value as definite
public improvement, when it is
realized that the economic loss at
tributable to automobile accidents
each year in the State of Illinois
runs into the millions.
"The Legion's campaign for light
ing the highways was carried to
the State Legislature last year. The
result was the adoption by unani-
nous vote in both Houses of a
resolution introduced by Represen.
tative Richard ]. Daley of Chicago
approving the project and calling
upon the proper highway authori'
ties to give study and attention to
the proposed system.

DIES FROM SHOT GUN WOUND
On Monday afternoon a colored
boy, Nat Daniels, aged about 18
years came to sudden end
through the accidental discharge of
a shot gun. He had been skating
on the "Persimmon" pond and had
seated himself on the bank to rest
A gun was back of him and lean
ing over he took hold of the n.uz-
zle and pulled it towrd him. In
doing SO the hammer was pulled
back and suddenly falling on the
cap, discharged the load at close
range, which entered his side Just
above his hip. Such a hole as it
made with the entire load of shot
shattering his liver and other in
testines, could not but produce
death. DR.. Dwight was procured
as soon as possible, who had tae
boy put on a litter and carried to
his home, but expired in a few
minutes after getting there. His
death was from the shock and con-
sequently with little pain or suf-
fering.

FIRST WHEAT
LOANS RECEIVED
Large Numbers of Farms
And Bins Ready To
Be Visited BY Inspectors

First wheat loans completed in
the county were received during the
past week. A large number of ap-
plications have been received for
these loans through the Commod-
ity Credit Corporation for wheat
stored on farms. A number Of these
are now in the process Of compile
ton and a still larger number of
farms and bins are ready to be Wis
tied by the inspectors and sealers
who place the seals on the bins and
take the samples of wheat for grad
ing purposes.
The loan values on No. 1 wheat in
Stearns county run about $3.50 a
bushel and most Of the bins that
are inspected grade No. 2 or bet
ter. It Is necessary for grain to
be eligible for a loan to grade at
least No. 3. AS yet only one bin
had to be turned down because 1t
did not grade at least No. 3. With
the cash value Of wheat at the pres
emit time smaller than the loan val
ue, it is probable that a large num-
Der Of loans will be completed in
this county. Under the program the
farmer having bin of wheat that
is stored in a satisfactory granary
with tight sides and a good roof
who wishes to make loan on this
bin Of wheat should make applica-
ton to the County Agents office,
st. Cloud. At the same time he
should send in the sealing and in
spection fee of $500. AS soon as
this is done one Of the sealers will
visit the farm, take the sample for
grading, inspect the granary and
place the seal on the bin on which
the loan will be made. After the
sample is graded the loan is COM
pleted through the county agents
office.

teen All club members were en-
couraged to buy purebred gifts of

ritory will be given an opportunity

ton blanks for registration furnish
ed for all folks who request them

out cost on their part. The sale will

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-21

Voicing belief that Eve are on the verge of one of the great ex- pansion periods of industry" Secre- tary of Labor Frances Perkins, urged greater cooperation between industry and labor as a means to- wards expediting the predicted boom, speaking last night at Second Congregational church.
 Madame Perkins was introduced by Oswald G. Willard, former editor of The Nation, of Watertown, and spoke on the general subject of Labor Relations"
 The secretary declared that it is mot practical for employees to deal with individuals about their jobs, entering plea for collective bar gaining with the following extenua- tion of her claim:
 Bargaining
 Therefore, organization of la bor should come as no surprise to the American people. We are nat ural joiners and organization is the best method of getting results, through discussion and debate of working problems.
 Unless employers are willing to bargain fairly we cannot expect good results. It takes two to make bargain, she added.
 Madame Perkins declared that 85 per cent of all agreements made last year between employers and workers contained clauses which provide for open discussion between employers and labor before stopping work, in event of some disagree ment. She said that one-half of the agreements provided further that should the matter then fail of arbitration that the contract calls for an outside group to attempt mediation of the problems.
 In the open forum that followed, the secretary was asked if Harry i Bridges, west coast Committee of Industrial Organization leader, is "a citizen of the United States" and her answer was, No. She said that a letter to the American Legion from her department cites that de- portation proceedings against the alleged Communist leader of west coast labor groups are moving with all proper speed"
 Emigration
 Another question anent possible emigration from Germany of Jews bound for the United States led the secretary to remark that the quota from Germany would be 27,00O at most and her feeling was that this number would mot be felt in 8 nation of 100000, 900 persons" as re- lates to the economic picture.
 She referred to the friction be- tween the American Federation of Labor and the c. I. O., describing one of the differences between the labor groups as whether skilled
