Other leaders of the Hartford di- ocesan pilgrimage have been Rev. Walter D. Casey, of St. Luke's church, Hartford, Rev. Henry J. O'Brier,. president of St. Thomas Seminary and Rev. Patrick T. Quin- Ian, professor at St. Thomas Sem mary. ....
 The group forming the Hartford Diocesan pilgrimage to Rome and Lourdes last year was the largest making the trip to Europe from Connecticut since 1883.

 Funds for the building were raised by mail and personal solicitation and contributions poured in from more than 300 persons in Connecti- cut. The need for the edifice was particularly great following the de- struction by fire of the nursery building in Pennington.
 Mrs. William M. Wilcox of Mid dletown gave the infirmary and its furnishings and equipment in mem- ory of her parents, MT. and Mrs William Adams Sanborn, who fol years were directors of the Institute Anonymous donors gave other large gifts.
 Named In Memory
 Founders House is dedicated tc the memory of Miss Lillian M. Rus sell, veteran teacher at the Insti- tute, and the late Mrs. Emily Welles Foster, Mrs. Foster began the work of the Institute after stumbling over a bind baby in a hallway on the lower East Side. She took the child into her home, and later, hearing of other unfortunate blind children took them under her care also. Hel informal nursery grew to such ar extent that she was compelled to seek outside aid, and in 1893 the h. stitute was incorporated. It was moved to it's present location ir 1911.
 There are Fl children at the school, and the other buildings were built to accommodate only 45, so de- spite Founders House conditions will still be crowded, according tc Gordon Hicks, superintendent.

Suddenly from far below there
sounded a cry. An eagle was ris-

Following the uncertain trails

But the man of faith, as with the
wings of an eagle, scars past him

tribution of papers costs far less
than sending them through the
mails. A morning newspaper in
up-tate New York several years
ago effected saving of $213 per
week by leaving the mails and go
ing to trucks for distribution to
dealers in nearby communities
The mail cost was S283 per week
against a truck cost of $40 per
week. Besides the economy, an
earlier distribution was obtained.
Distribution by truck, however,
is only possible in areas where
roads are good. Recent studies
show that the cost of operating a
motor-vehicle on a dirt road is
more than twice as great as that
of operating the same vehicle on
a paved road. To the city-dwell-
er, this is unimportant, since his
local paper brings him all the
days news. The farmer or small
town resident, however, who wisn-
es the comprehensive news of the
war in China, Congressional ac-
ton, etc, that can be found in the
daily paper published in some
nearby city, cannot secure this
service if the cost of mailing the
paper to him is prohibitive Meth
er is it possible to send the paper
by truck if the roads in his COM
munity are unimproved. The con-
struction and maintenance of good
roads, however, will permit the
distribution of papers at a mater
tally reduced cost and give the
rural resident equal opportunity
with his urban neighbors to daily
keep abreast of world events.

STATE SAFETY

Good Advice To Motorists
and Others on Care and
Caution on Highways
IN INTEREST OF SAFETY

When man sits behind the
wheel of his car with $500 pounds
Of metal and machinery to respond
to the turn of his hand, world OF
new pleasures, and new response
bilities are his.
Whether riding in city traffic OF
bowling along country roads, GER
tain well defined regulations must
become instructive or trouble will
come to mar his pleasure in auto
mobiling. He mus visualize GER
tain situations that may occur sud-
denly-perhaps around the very
next corner. He must know how
to act not only in these emergenc-
les, but beforehand, to avoid them.
Automobiles have reached a high
stage of mechanical perfection, but
they have no brains. 1t is the
human being, driving the car that
has to contribute the brains or the
thinking machine to this mechan-
ical device.
According to the Delaware Safe
ty Council, the following safe driv-
ing practices should be observed
and carried out if we are to stop
this terrible toll of highway deaths
during the present year, and for
the following ones to come.
First and foremost, constant at
tention to the business of driving
is paramount The lapse of one
seconds vigilance may wreck
your car, kill a person, or cause
serious property damage. Keep
your hands on the wheel, your
mind alert and focused on the job
of driving. If you must talk with
your companion don't take your
eyes off the road.
Become thoroughly experienced
in driving before you drive in traf-
fic. Ability to drive one car does
not necessarily qualify you to
drive other cars. If you have to
change cars from day to day get
sufficient experience with each one
to drive it we'll anywhere. Never
permit an inexperienced compan-
ion to drive in traffic, nor let any
one drive from the side seat.
BE consistent-the road NOPE is
as bad as the road hog. and the
driver who passes and then falls
behind, or who cuts in, is men,
Smyrna times., 1938-02-10

ace. Get in the line of traffic and
keep moving at a good speed with
regard to existing conditions.
Don't pull out to pass cars ahead
unless the way is clear, and then
do it quickly and get back into
line. Any erratic action on your
part confuses other drivers and
sets the stage for an accident.
Driving while under the infiu-
ence of liquor is the most serious
offence, and the penalty IS gener-
ally a Jail sentence. The effects
of intoxicating liquor varies so
greatly that a small amount caus-
ing no effect one time may easily
and frequently does cause great
effect at another, and the user is
frequently unaware of its extent.
The only safe way is not to drive
if you have taken even the small
est quantity of Intoxicating liquor.
Fatigue or illness are frequent
contributory causes of accidents.
Driving after period of hard
work or insufficient sleep or for
long distances without rest should
be avoided if possible. 1t the driv-
er is i'll from indigestion, severe
cold, or any acute disease he is in
a condition which makes it diff
cult for him to meet emergencies.
1t is extremely dangerous to drive
a car if there is the slightest pos
sibility of the driver being doubled
up with cramps, overcome by
fainting, or falling asleep at the
wheel. A person who is at all sub
ject to convulsions or epilepsy
should never drive a car.

In order that this end can be
achieved, every publisher must
solve two problems: First, how to
get the news and, second, how to
get it to his readers. The first
question is answered in a variety
of ways. The second is often a
difficult one to solve since sub
scribers may be at a great dis

To reach subscribers in a commun-

the United States mails have or

corded to newspapers and maya
