STATE

The Warner Brothers State thea ter's temporary change of policy effective for the holiday season only brings the authentic and thrilling story of Uncle Sam's West Point, ''The Duke of West Point, to this theater for four day showing start ing with performances this after noon.
 Starring Louis Harvard, Richard Carlson, Tom Brown, Alan Curtis, and Joan Fontaine. The picture is said to represent some of the best all-around entertainment to come to Waterbury this season. Because of its romance, gayety, adventure and excitement of life as it is lived at the United States Military Academy it is highly recommended for everyone who appreciates first rate screen entertainment.
 So the story goes of the career of Steve Early, played by Louis Hayward, as a West Point Cadet. An American who has been brought up abroad, Early antagonizes his super.ors at the Military Academy by his foreign bearing and undiSci- plined behavior, and naturally un- dergoes the harsh disgrace of being "silenced" in punishment for a breach of Academy regulations Hayward is given excellent support by Tom Brown and Richard Carl son, seen as his room-mateS. Joan Fontaine supplies the romantic in- terest in a very attractive manner
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents the sixth of the Crime Clubs chilling mystery dramas, "The Last Warning.
 The team of Preston Foster and Frank Jenks are again seen as the ace sleuths who wise-crack their way through another seemingly im- possible case.

 Cleveland's traffic toll showed an almost immediate decrease. Under stricter enforcement, 96 per cent record of conviction was achieved over a period of several weeks Motorists generally were showing a new traffic concsiousness.} But the real public interest was drawn through the citys broad educational program, linking schools, churches, civic organizations and individuals.
 Formally approved safety. courses were launched in all Cleveland schools safety lessons inserted in textbooks. Churches gave safety sermons, Cleveland clubs offered prizes for meritorious driving.
 Cleveland's four radio stations broadcast safety programs, direct from the street, from court, from police headquarters. The three ma jor newspapers waged a constant safety drive. Once the community wide pro- gram got underway the city was a forest of unique signs, such as HOO Are Alive Today" and Cleveland Values Yo.r Life-Protect It"
 Police stopped jaywalkers at the so-called danger spots" handed them card listing the 1897 death toll from this violation. In Cleve- land Public Square hung sign with red flag attached. The sign said that if you must jaywalk, take the red flag with you.
 In the downtown district re- gently Cleveland police, Mayor Har- old H. Burton and families of Sev- eral traffic victims held memorial service, dedicating 8 monument to those killed in 1888.
 Not day passes without a new safety stunt, the latest of which is dramatically staged accident. A jaywalker falls as if he were hit, a woman screams, crowd gathers, the police ambulance roars to the scence. Then the police take to the radio to preach safety.
 The result of all this: a reduction of just about 50 per cent in Cleve- lands traffic toll over last year.

Showing America How T0 Cut Traffic Death Toll In Half
CIeDeLdnd
 Makes Great Safety Record Through 1858
By PAUL FRICGENs

(NEA Service Staff COrrespondentl
 Cleveland, Dec. 28 The United States has cut its traffic death toll greatly during 1888, and showing the way is the city that had the second worst traffic record in the nation couple of years ago.
 Cleveland is in line to win the title of Safest Big City in Amer ica" when the National Safety Coun- cil hands out it's awards for the past year. The big Ohio town has cut its car deaths almost in half, the greatest reduction for any city over 500,000 population.
 Behond that achievement is story carrying significance for every Am erican community, large and small A year ago Cleveland police counted a staggering traffic toll for 1887: 236 dead, 4,117 injured. The figure flung out an unmistakable challenge.
 So Safety Director Eliot Ness launched sweeping program, based on the Three E'S' of Safety-en- forcement, engineering and educa- tion. He began by sending hand picked police squad to school at the Northwestern University Traf- fic Institute.
 Next he named a traffic engineer, whose sole duty was to determine what was wrong with the city's safety work, where the real traffic danger spots were, what could be done to correct them. At the same time newspapers and radio began to focus attention on the problem.
 In few weeks the first Cleve- land 'Manslaughter Squads were patrolling the city. But no ordinary squads were these. Their cars car ried two-way radios, cameras, type writers, university-trained men.
 Before long, negligent drivers were learning that the ''Man-slaugh- ter Squads" were able to use skid marks to determine the speed of an automobile, that they were trained in records and in evidence, could present a fool-proof case to the judge. /:
 Drivers learned too that police could cooperate. On certain days each week hundreds of motorists were stopped at random. so that their brakes and lights could be tested. The driver was given his report and warned in advance against accident.
 Working with these squads was
