story of Allenby's campaign in
Palentine and Lawrence's ex-
ploits in Arabia.
He has been a gold miner, a
cow puncher, a newspaper re-
porter, an editor, and a college
professor! and he has spent years
roaming around Europe, Asia, AT
RIGA, Alaska, Australia and the
islands of the Seven Seas. He
toured India with the Prince of
Wales and was one Of the first
Americans ever to be given per-
mission to enter the wild coun-
try of Afghanistan.
He formerly taught Public
Speaking at Princeton Universe
ty, and he is now probably the
best known speaker living. He
not only broadcasts the days
news to millions of listeners in
America, but his voice encircles
the globe.
He has an apartment at the
swanky Walsdorf-Astoria, in New
York; but he would infinitely
rather spend his time on his
three-hundred acre farm up in
the Berkshire Hills, in Duchess
County, seventy miles north of
New York City.
Getting back to the farm every
night is almost a passion with
him. He finishes his broadcast in
Radio City at seven o'clock
sharp. The last train for his
home leaves the Grand Central
Station five minutes later. Dash
as fast as he can, through the
city's traffic, he can't quite make
it. So the New York Central
Railroad has issued an order that
the seven-five train must not pull
out unil Lowell Thomas is
aboard. A round. trip of one hum
dred and forty miles day is the
price he pays to spend the night
and the next forenoon at Glover
Brook Farm"
He is paid five hundred dollars

Heartbreak His Reward

Once he was held prisoner by
the Indians for our months, eX-
hibited by them with pride, and
even adopted into the tribe of the
Blacklist. He escaped when he
learned an attack was contem-
plated on Boonsboro, and ran for
five days and nights through the
forest to the Ohio river to reach
the town. He commanded the de-
Tense and repulsed nine-day
siege.
All the pioneering brought him
little save hardship and heart
reak. A brother and two sons
were slain by the Indians, and
later his life reflected none of the
prosperity and progress for which
he helped pave the way. He fl
nally became lieutenant colonel
in the arm, and a thousand acres
Kentucky land was given him.
But he did not know how to COM
ply with the legal forme,lities,
and sharpers went into the courts
to dispossess him. He sought in
vain for relief by the legislature,
and finally left the state for Mis-
souri,, which then belonged to
Spain. He was accorded honors
there and given 5000 acres of
land, but when the United States
bought the territory from France
he was again disposed of all but
$50 acres.

night for speaking in public;
yet he doesn't talk much in pri-
vate. He prefers to- listen to 9TH
er people talk.
I have often seen him, on a
winter evening, stretch out on
the floor in front of the fireplace
with his dogs, and lie there for
hours, staring into the flames,
/ without saying a word.
| If you ever visit his farm, don't
look for him in the cow barn. You
are much more likely to find him
diving in the swimming pool,
monkeying around his mink and
fitch and fox pens, fooling with
"Nudist," his black bear, or rid
ing a horse.
He is one of the busiest men
I have ever known, but yet he
never seems to be in a hurry. He
is always calm and relaxed. For
example, I remember one winter
day when I was at his farm and
we had to catch an early train
to- New York. We figured we
had just seven minutes in which
to eat breakfast, and the rest of
us were in nervous hurry; but
Tommy" calmly strolled into the
dining room and wanted to build
fire in the fireplace so he could
look at it while he was eating.

Capln IN its original condition;
the installation Of furniture made
by the thrifty Boones, who were
noted as wagon, rifle and furni-
ture manufacturers; the erection
on the grounds of repuica of the
cabin of another Daniel Boone,
grandfather of the famous from
tiersmen; construction of a youth
hotel; establishment of a camp
for Boy Scout troops; construc-
ton of a large swimming pool
and creation of an arboretum in
which it is planned to include
every kind of tree native to Penn
sylvania.
WigWam Included
A replica of an Indian camp,
with life-size figures, will depict
the Indians as they appeared in
their forest wigwams. Other in
novations consist of better roads
and installation of drinking foun-
tains and sanitary facilities.
Throughout the summer and
SELL. about 500 men and youths
have been busy at the site, under
4the directions of the National
Youth Administration. The orig
fna1 buildings were erected over
two centuries ago, and parts of
them were still standing when
restoration began.
A veritable library Of fact and
fiction concerning Daniel Boone
has been printed in the more than
two centuries since the Boones,
who were Quakers, came from
England, settled briefly in Abing-
don and then moved westward
into Exeter township. Despite the
volumes written about the front
iersman and his exploits, the date
of his birth is a subject of con-
troversy. Some historians list 1t
as February, 1875; others place 1t
as early as October, 1888. They
agree, however, that he went to
North Carolina with his parents
when he was about seventeen,
and five years later he was ex-
ploring.
Daniel is pictured by contemp-
oraries as robust man, his head
large, chest full, shoulders square
and form stout. None among his
fellows could run more swiftly
nor shoot the cumbersome eleven
pound rifle with more deadly ac-
.curacy.. Despite the reputation
he won as fearless fighter OF
Indians, he was described as
quiet, meditative and friendly.
4 Like other pioneers, Boone SUI
fered from claustrophobia, and
whenever settlers became too
numeous in an area he moved
out. Thus it was that at the age
of about IS, he was impelled to
cross the mountains from North
Carolina into Kentucky. With
him were four hunters. A his
torian pictureded him thus: "He
wore a coonskin cap, a loose
hunting shirt of deer-skin, firing
leggins and moccasins. The metal
buckle of his belt was at the
back, that it might not catch in
the underbrush. At the right was
a tomahawk; at the left a long
and keen knife. On a strap over
the shoulder was slung the shot
pouch and powder in an elkhorn
scraped so thin as to reveal the
grains beneath"
Built Wilderness Road
Boone has been credited with
LAYING the foundation for the
winning of the west, for it was he
who built the evidences Road
through the Cumberland Gap, the
route followed by many of the
emigrants who took the westward
trail. The groundwork for his
uncanny knowledge of the forest
and his rare ability to initiate the
sounds of birds and beast of the
woods was laid while he was still
a youngster in Berks county.
Daniel had gone into debt to

exceedingly fine work of our Sc'.oolS.
 Obviously, one does not care to have interference with their free dom whether it be a motor vehicle or some other form of interest. Arrests and fines do minimize in- fractions but, on the other hand, records show many repeaterS so that the hand of the law is again but factor in the scheme of an attempt to correct. We must, I be- lieve, fix in the minds as well as in the hearts of those who drive motor cars and other such vehicles, that they themselves are not safe unless the other driver in front, in the rear or on the side, is safety minded.
 Editors have contributed so much that it would be unfair not to here pay high tribute to their answering loyalty.
 Waterbury Papers
 In Waterbury we could not be very successful were it not for the constant support of our newspapers. Column after column has been giv- en to our program without charge. The community which is not selling itself to its own newspapers from the standpoint of a safety broad point of view, is losing, in my opin- ion, it's greatest opportunity.
 Public relations or, perhaps, better stated, human interest, must be part of the retentive thinking of the average man or woman as well as those of greater means. The local committees and police departments together with other agencies, have performed remarkable service, yet, if public interest is not evident then we will fail.
 Successful leadership is had only when those who lead are willing to avoid being too much in the public eye and give credit where credit be- longs. A committee, whether it be in large community or one that is small, must coordinate diversified interests.
 After all, no matter how large the committee, it is but a fraction of the population it serves and with out public cooperation the effort which such committee may make will be infinitesimally small com pared to results which might be attained if the larger viewpoint of unselfishness is the guide post.

 obstruct the progress of fire fight ing vehicles and ambulances speed- ing on missions of public welfare Here is the law, under which off, lending motorists can be prosecuted and for violation of which theil licenses can also e suspended by department action as improper per- sons to drive motor vehicles:
 Connecticut statutes: Sec. 1895: Ambulances and fire apparatus to have right of way.
 (A) The driver or operator of an ambulance, while answering a call or taking a patient to hos pital, and the driver or operator of any vehicle used by a fire com- pany or by any officer of fire company or fire department while on the way to a fire, provided such ambulance or vehicle used by a fire company or an officer thereof shall be equipped with a horn, gong, bell or siren sound- ing a loud warning distinctive from warnings sounded by horns. gongs, bells or sirens commonly in use on motor vehicles, shall have the right of way over all other traffic upon any public or private way.
 (B)The driver or operator of any vehicle other than one of those described in subsection (A) of this section shall, upon the approach of any vehicle of the kind described therein, immediate ly drive or operate such vehicle as near as practicable to the right hand side of the travelled portion of the highway in the direction in which such driver or vehicle used by fire company or an officer thereof shall have pessed.
 Any officer or a fire company or fire department shall have authority to remove, or cause to be removed, any vehicle upon any public or private way which shall obstruct or retard any fire com pany or fire department or any officer thereof, in controlling or extinguishng any fire.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-04-05

co Any person who shall will , fully obstruct or retard any am bulance while answering a call or taking a patient to hospital, or
 any vehicle used by a fire com- pany, or any officer or member of a fire company or fire department while on the way to to fire or while seeking to control or exiting uish fire, shall be fined not more than fifty dollars or imprisoned not more than three months, or both.
 Complaints received by the com- missioner indicate that many motor ists fail to yield the right of way on rural highways, particularly, ap- parently unaware of the fact that the use of siren is evidence the approaching vehicle is on an emer- gency connected with public vel fare and so entitled to the rgiht of way. Police chiefs of Windham and Holland counties have been plagued by motor vehicles blocking the path of their fire fighting apparatus so frequently that the Windham-Tol- land County Fire Chiefs association is conducting campaign Of educa- ton among child and adult groups at the present time.
 Cities have their thoughtless or indifferent motorists, too, and &C., tual conflicts between fire fighting apparatus and private cars have taken place when the fire wagons were on duty call, hurrying through intersections. Besides of the speed at which fire apparatus travels through city streets, such accidents always result in heavy property damage, may injuries and, in some cases, fatalities. All because a thoughtless motorist, needless of the blaring siren, took a chance in pass ing through an intersection instead of waiting a few seconds.
 Parking on rural highways, par ticularly between fairly populous towns, should be carefully consid- cred if one is to leave the vehicle for any length of time. The motor ist should select location where the car can be parked entirely off the pavement, away from the trav- eled part of the road. This enables all triff1c to have free way and, in the event emergency traffic speeds along, the road is not blocked. Double parking in cities. especially in congested business dis tricts, is definite fire hazard. Mo- torists who are safety-minded, ac- cident nt-conscious and law-obedient willingly grant the right of way to all traffic apparently requiring same, particularly when the familiar scream of siren indicates an off, cial need for a free way.
 Fire chiefs who have complained to the commissioner of motor ve- hicles concerning right of way diff culties have been advised to make an official complaint to the proper police authorities in the district concerned and report the ergistra- ton numbers of offeding vehicles to the motor vehicle department.

is needless perhaps, to state that sustained public opinion is imprac- tical and almost impossible if there is lack of effort to keep the pub lie mindful of constant considera- ton of need for vigilance.
 Power of Press
 It is my opinion that no stru- mentality is so great or so decisive as is the press. Radio, of course, IS now playing an important part in our local and national safety pro- grams. However, it would appear, and this is gained by our own per- sonal knowledge through experience in our own city and surrounding area, that newspapers have played the most important part in selling our program to the public and arousing interest and maintaining it.
 Sketchy or slipshod methods of publicity are not valuable while, on the other hand, the change of tempo, so to speak, in the form Of "newsy" articles containing current facts is of news valut even though they bear the ca marks of repeti- ton.
 Recklessness that causes an acci- dent resulting in death may be horrible in it's reading and may cause the public to rise in wrath but, ill a little while, something new in the news columns abstracts attention, and eventually that which was a tragedy at the time is lost to memory excepting to those who have a vital interest in the problem.
 Horror Stories
 I do not believe that statistics or horror" pictures, or "horror" sto- ries, are as valuable as some would have one believe. On the other hand, constructive posters and cer- tain instructive pamphlets, in my opinion, are valuable agents, but the newspaper word story remains the ideal method of reaching the public. I am not unmindful of the

BRAKE SERVICE AT
 BENDIX STATION

There is no greater hazard on the highways today than the person who drives car with faulty brakes. And there is no reason why there should be this great menace to the lives of our citizens. A stop at the Bendix Brake Service Station To- cated next to the State Theater will put your brakes ill perfect working condition.
 Stop in and have your brakes inspected, perhaps they need only adjusting, perhaps they may need new lining, but what ever they need, don't drive a car with bad brakes.
