COUNCIL NEWS
Warming to Pedestrians to
Obey the Rules of
Traffic
SEVEN RULES TO OBEY

The Delaware Safety Council Of
fers few suggestions to those of
you who are pedestrians. The fail
ure to obey these rules constitutes
the cause of many pedestrians be-
ing killed and injured in accidents.
/. Obey Traffic officers and
Traffic Signals. These two meth
DDS of control are being used to di-
vide the time between conflicting
movements. If the motorist who
is facing a red signal is willing to
let you cross when your light is
green, you should be willing to
stop when conditions are reversed.
2. Never Rely Entirely Upon
the Signal or officer. Always look
to see if the vehicles are obeying
them before you start across the
street.
8. Never step out from behind
parked car or other obstruction
to the view. It is easy for you to
see a car which is large, but it is
hard for themotoristto see you be-
cause you are smaller Always
step into the street from locations
where the view is good
A. Be Particularly Careful at
Night. With present headlight
equipment, it is very difficult for
the motorist to see pedestrian.
5. Give the Motorist Enough
Time to Stop. If you step out too
quickly it may not be possible for
him to stop. This is particularly
true in wet weather when quick
stops are impossible.
6. Walk So That You Face On
Coming Traffic. This will make is
possible for you to save your own
life in case motorist makes a
mistake.
Z. Look in Both Directions. I'm
der present high speeds you have
to look away only for moment in
order to permit vehicle to come
around a corner and be upon you.
There is only one real cure for
pedestrian accidents and that is
grade separation. AS long as pc
destrians and motorists are both
upon the same level at the same
time either one or the other will
continually insist upon his rights
and accidents will result.

BLUE sUNoCO STANDS COLD
A Quick Starting Gasoline To Be
Depended On

With the coldest months of the
year fast approaching, this entire
section is showing sudden burst
of activity as the Adirondacks pre-
pare for the thousands of guests
who visit to enjoy winter sports.
Ice skating, snow shoe trips, ski
jumping, bob shedding and ice
boating are all popular and well
known activities in this section
which is located up where zero
seems warm"
Other sports, less well known, at
tract even more visitors and of
these, fishing through the ice is
becoming more popular all of the
time. Dan Frayne, Lake Placid,
N. Y, resident and a licensed guide
of the Adirondack region, is a lead
ing authority on this sport. and is
frequently employed to guide win
ter fishing parties to some remote
spot where the catch may be ex-
pected to come up to expectations.
In describing one of these trips,
he says, when we set out that
morning, it was only five below.
But, by the time we got out to
Lower Saranac Lake and left the
cars for the day, she was dropping
fast and, come sundown, was thirty
below. Well, we had to get back
to town or freeze And, of all the
cars on the lake, mine was the only
one with Blue Sunoco in the gas
tank, and the only one to start

What has he done to deserve all
this doubling?
Why should one of the jolliest,
most likeable creatures that ever
put over the truth that it's really
fun to give be talked out of child
hood just because some grownups
haven't enough joy in them to
make a good job of it?
after Walt Disney found out at
the age of six that there wasn't
any team of reindeer waiting up on
the roof while fat man slid down
his chimney, he had fun pretending
to his parents that he still believed
the whole works. 1t is a safe bet
that the experience Of discovery
didn't leave him all tied up with
compleXes that so many parents
seem to fear.
Before Walt Disney had made a
movie about Ferdinand the Bull, a
character who popped into my
mind one rainy Sunday afternoon.
i had an experience which bears
out the fantasy of childhood I
had written The Story Of Ferdin-
and and Robert Lawson had drawn
the pictures for the book.
"A little boy Of five named Peter
knew the book by heart and loved
it. His mother thought it would
be nice if Peter and I should meet,
so my wife and I We're invited to
dinner and Peter was told that
Ferdinand5s Poppa was coming
that evening.
II have seen some disappointed
children in my life, but never one
SO completely surprised and defect
ed as Peter when he saw me- Just
a man, as he put it, with pants on!
He had at least expected me to be
led in with ring through my nose,
and my tail switching. You will
never convince me that Ferdinand
is not more real to Peter than I
can ever hope to be and am grae-
full that Walt Disney has made
picture that will give Peter more
satisfaction than a permanent per-
sonal appearance on my part could
hope to.
why not let this be so for Santa
Claus and your little children? If
he is not real it is only because you
fail to make him en-
walt Disney says, When my
little daughters confront me with
the question, I shall say without a
twinge, "Of course there is" and
let's join him as he adds,

THERE IS REAL
SANTA CLAUS
Walt Disney, Creator of Mick
ey Mouse and Others, Says
So and He Knows
HIS CHARACTERS LIVE

Now it is settled for once and for
all: There really is a Santa Claus.
Walt Disney says SO, and he ought
to know. AS the creator who has
breathed the breath of life into
such characters as Mickey Mouse,
the Three Little Pigs, Snow White,
and the Seven Dwarfs, Walt Dis
ney is the Supreme Court on any
decisions concerning Santa Claus
and for that matter about all elves,
gnomes, leprachauns, Easter Rab-
bits, and all those very real crea-
lures whom the dimmed eyes of old
age have difficulty in seeing.
Acting as Disney's spokesman.
Munro Leaf himself no mean au-
thority on these things since he
brought forth Ferdinand the Bull
reports in the current issue Of
Woman's Day that Walt Disney be-
lieves in Santa and tells his own
children that the jolly Christmas
gnome really exists.
Every. time the Christmas sea-
son rolls around in many homes
throughout America" writes Mr.
Leaf, mothers and fathers with
the best intentions in the world
talk, talk deep into the night about
problem that has been with us
for centuries. Shall we tell the
children that there isn't any Santa
Claus?
Before you decide that import
ant matter, and don't make the
mistake of thinking it isn't import
ant, suppose we go to the man
whose ideas probably mean as
much to the children of the world
as those of any one living today,
Walt Disney.
Lets ask him if he believes in
Santa Claus and what do you
think his answer is?
+" Certainly, yes
What man or woman who spent
a happy childhood with parents
who told the tales of the fat jolly
whiskered gentleman who could
slide down chimneys and told it
with twinkle in their own eyes,
has ever stopped believing in him
OF course all of Us somewhere
along the line experienced a tenn
porary jolt the way Walt Disney
Gid when at the age Of six he saw
his older brother Roy sneaking the
Christmas tree into the cellar, but
that hasn't anything to do with
one of the grandest stories that
the human race ever produced.
What child has been told a tale
that thrilled him more?
But, sadly, literal matter-of-
fact people will solemnly shake
their heads and say, But it isn't
true there just isn't any Santa
Claus and you know it,
do we know it,? That is the
real question.
Let's tackle Walt Disney again.
Let's ask him another question.
rs there a Mickey Mouse? Is
there a Minnie, is there a oDnald
Duck, a Snow White? Is there a
Dopey, Doc, any of Seven
Dwarfs?
walt Disney knows that Mickey
and Donald and Pluto are more
real and bring fun to millions more
than he could ever please by going
around the world himself
HE knows that Heidi and
Mowgli and Uncle Remus and the
Wizard of Or and Pinoccio and
Winnie-the-Pooh and Old Mother
Hubbard and Rip Van Wrinkle and
thousands of others are every bit
as real as Mrs. Green who lives
next door or Mr.. Jasper who deliv-
ers the milk.

This program is carried out
largely through controlled press,
newspapers and periodicals, the
radio, and in Il sort OF glorliied
political campaign which goes on
practically all of the time. Large
portions of the German press are
devoted to Qualification OF the
Nazi regime, the radio Is given
almost exclusively to praise Of
Fuehrer, and on frequent occa-
Sions d high ranking Nazl add
dresses large crowds of the pcO-
pie on the great work done by
the government. AS Mr.. EwbanE
puts it, these addresses are sort
of glorified pep talks" For cN-
ample, he cited a great gathering
which he attended. Most Of the
people," he said, couldn't hear
what the speaker was saying, but
they cheered and applaudCd when
the people in front of them did"
Furthering this propaganda pro-
gram, the German government has
supplied most of the population
with Il small cheap radio, called
the peoples radio" 1t has the
advantage Of allowing them to
listen to German stations, but is
not sufficiently powerful to pick
up stations of other nations.
This propaganda also extends
into the schools and universities.
University education as far as it
extends to the exact sciences is
fairly liberal, Mr. Ewbank said,
but of course much Nazi propa-
ganda is inserted in the courses
DEALING with history, political sci
ence and etc.
The German people are highly
organized, and practically all or
CARNATIONS are at least semi-mili-
tary and athletic in nature. There
is, for instance, the Hitlerju%end,
which includes boys and girls up
to the age of military service.
There are divisions for boys and
girls and both are uniformed in
the traditional Brown Shirts.
There is the Arbeitsdienst, or
work service, which performs la
Dor on public works. This is COM
posed largely of young men, who
are uniformed and drill very
smartly with shining shovels in
