Be Careful Where
You Shoot And Save
A Human Life

There are a large number of CCC
camps located in Maryland and the
young men of these camps have done
excellent work for our State not only
for forestry but for wildlife and for
the prevention of erosion and need
your cooperation.
Therefore we appeal to you at this
time to be careful if you do go hunt
ing, not to shoot toward CCC camp
|or in the vicinity where men are
working. In fact, there should not be
any hunting done within u mile of
any CCC camp or where men are at
work either on road or in the forest,
and we request your cooperation in
preventing the injury of anyone
through negligence on your part.
Look Before Shooting
By cooperating in this manner you
may save life which is more valu-
able than any species of game you
may miss or probably kill.
The superintendent of all CCC
camps have received orders from Mr..
Robert Fechner, Director, Civilian
Conservation Corps, to post warming
signs within " mile in all directions
surrounding said camps where men
are working and we request your CO.
operation in prohibiting hunting with
in said area.
Also, we request your cooperation
in preventing the "red menace" (fire)
from destroying our forest areas. Do
not drop matches or empty your pipe
or throw lighted cigar or cigarette
on the ground unless you put your
foot on same and are sure the fire is
out and no danger can arise from
your action before leaving the spot.
Your cooperation will prevent serious
forest fires and save not only wildlife,
but covers and food on which wild
life must depend.

Star Dust
X Goodwill Jalopy
X Costly Separation
X Picturing Lincoln
BY Virginia Vale

IND Josephine, the Tat
~ tooed Jalopy," happen to
come your way on her return
journey from Hollywood to
Hartford, Conn.,?
If she didn't, you ought to
hear her story. It is really
the story of two young men,
Frank and Jack Pinney of
Hartford, who paid $13.95 for
the ancient car (born in 1929 and
set out for Hollywood. They took
along some white paint, and star
tied the movie center by requesting
movie stars and celebrities to grasp
paint brush and autograph Jose
phine.
They were sensation. Josephine
was soon covered with names, and
the owners refused an offer Of So, 900
for her, it's said. And the Motion
Pictures Greatest Year renresenta-
tives were delighted with them;
they've become unofficial goodwill
ambassadors for the industry.
They ran into one difficulty; peo-
pie whose autographs didn't mean
much were all too obliging about
scrawling their names on Josephine.
The Pinneys let them do it, and,
since Josephine's space was limited
and they had to go in for big names
only, they'd wipe off the undesira-
bles with a bit Of turpentine and
then tackle somebody who meant
something to them. Of course, they
may thus have obliterated sigma
lures of people, now unknown, who
will be stars before the car is
year older, but that couldn't be
helped.

HOW LARGE is
A DIME?

"The statement you can stop her
on a dime is frequently heard in
connection with the modern auto
mobile, but few folks know just how
large the dime has to be-" says
Harry M. Pontious, Safety Director,
Ohio Farm Bureau, Columbus, Ohio,
who will conduct driving demon
stration at Richard Montgomery
High School on December 1, $3.50
A. M, under the auspices of
Safety Education Glass of Richard
Montgomery High School.
AS part of the Highway Safety
program conducted by the Farm
Bureau, Mr.. Pontious has con-
structed a device for accurately
measuring "the dime" on which a
car can be stopped at various
speeds.
This device, which will be used
in the demonstration, consists of two
thirty-eight revolvers loaded with
yellow bullets mounted in a frame
fastened on the front bumper of
the car.
One gun is fired by a rope rum
ming up alongside the car, being
pulled by the passenger. This is a
signal to stop and the place where
it was given is marked by the yellow
marker bullet on the pavement. At
the time this first gun is fired a red
flag Is released and appears above
the radiator; so that the driver has
visual as we'll as an audible signal
to stop.
The other gun is connected with
the brake pedal and is fired when
the brake is applied and makes a
mark on the pavement where the
brake is applied. The distance be-
tween these two marks is the re-
action distance-which is the dis
tance travelled while the driver
reacts to the signal and gets his
foot off the accelerator and on the
brake.
From the second mark to where
the car stops Is the bralzing distance
or the distance required to stop the
car after the brakes are applied.
The total of the two distances is the
stopping distance, or the size of the
dime.
Mr., Pontious has conducted sur
veys covering a large number Of
people, which show that z out Of 10
drivers have no accurate conception
Of the distances required to stop a
car al the various speeds.
ITO be sure" commented Mr.. Pom
tious, information covering these
distances has been widely published
and distributed, but the fact remains
that the large majority of drivers
either don't know it or don't believe
it. Lack Of knowledge on this vital
point is without question the out
standing reason why excessive speed
is the greatest single cause of acct
dents"
II you drive a car or If you ride
in car, 1t will be worth your
while 10 see this demonstration.
Drivers to take the test will be
selected from the crowd.

 The President recently put a don't fly over me- sign on the southwest section adjacent to the Mexican border and a good guess is that many coast defense forts and experimental fields soon will be added to the list. And the act may reach out to include naval vessels and flying craft, even when off mili- tary resererves.

 An executive officer at Wright Field told photographers that pub lication of the. crash picture might cost them $1,O00. It stopped 5he picture dead for two hours Pho tographic organiza tions went straight to the head of the army with a protest and the picture was released.
 Photographers, while as eonscl- entious as the next man about avoiding disclosures of military se- crets, suspected they might be hailed into court for einnocently photographing restricted subjects. To avoid this, the navy and army have agreed to ask the President to list subjects which must be handled with caution.
