Reports OF the disease and the

out from Scutari and back 10
England and the result was in

a call for women TO nurse the

daughter Of an Upper middle

appeal and headed a mercy ex-

 Park Tomorrow

The policy of Sunday night dances will be resumed at the Hamilton paark pavilion this week, when the park department presents as its grand spring reopening attraction the first New England appearance of the newest star of radio and music, Harry James, the worlds No. trumpeter" and his sensational Brunswick recording orchestra. Harry James, for the past two years has been featured as the hot trumpet man of Benny Goodman s brass section.
 Because of his splendid person. ality, his colorful trumpet playing, and his popularity, the King of Swing" took him out of the Good man outfit, surrounded him with a stellar aggregation of musicians and two fine vocalists, Bernice Byres and Jack Palmer, and started him on his way to fame. Playing their first big engagement at the Ben- jamin Franklin hotel in Philadelphia the band was such hit that 1t was held over four weeks. Harry and his crew have been featured nightly over the Mutual and Columbia net works and have already signed with the Brunswick recording people for exclusive disc-making. James recent ly won the magazine Metronome's poll as the greatest trumpeter in the world beating Bunny Berigan by a large margin of votes.
 Tickets for the appearance here of Harry James and his band are now on sale at McCoys music store on Grand street.

Suggest Training For
 Pedestrians, Drivers
Machines May Be Mechanically Perfect But Human Elements Determine Accidents Claims Supt. Roach

employe had been told what to do, but had never formed the habit of doing 1t.
 We have been doing lot of talking about traffic safety, but not enough training of highway users We need to convince ourselves and others that driving an automobile, or peddling bicycle, or even walk ing on our streets and highways. are tasks which to be done with out mishap must be done with skill, which only results from training in proper habits.
 Training Essential
 Training is a positive thing. No one ever takes a course in how not to do something. It is always to learn how to perform -construc- tive, definite task. Therefore safety training must become an integral part of all training. We must learn to drive our cars habitually in a safe manner. Having done so, we have automatically eliminated the unsafe ways of driving.
 The driver training should start at an early age. It should continue through the high school and the college and into adult life. One rea- son bicycle safety is so important, in my judgment, is that it offers an opportunity to train youngsters in safe highway habits.
 We are sure to see new training techniques. Special attention will be given to the psychological and emotional phases of driver prepara- tion. Good judgment evenually will be recognized as qualification as important as mechanical skill.
 Will we. perhaps, adopt the plan of some European countries where the new car with the new driver is labeled by . large letter T." (for learner), with special examinations required to advance such q driver into the class of those permanently licensed? Will we have training of drivers in drill groups, like swim ming classes or football squads with skilled coaches in charge?
 No one can prophecy exactly how
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-18

Talks on traffic safety are not enough, and instead there should be real training of drivers and pedes- trians, says Police Superintendent William J. Roach in statement to- day. This training, he says, should be started at an early age, and should be steadily continued.
 No matter how mechanically per- feet an automobile may be, states the superintendent, it can be a weapon of death and destruction in the hands of an incompetent or careless operator. Drivers, he says, must not only be told what to do, but 1t must be determined that they are doing as they were told.
 Superintendent Roach's statement follows:
 (By Supt. Wm. J. Roach)
 Every year our highway builders and traffic engineers construct roads with fewer physical hazards. Manu- lecturers build automobiles, house. hold devices, farm machines and power tools that are more fool proof.
 But no matter how far we ad- vance in the development of these physical safeguards, the human factor remains the supreme prob lem in accident prevention. The long run answer to this problem is training.
 Confusion
 Some are inclined to confuse talk ing safety, with training for safety. Such a mistake is common in in- dustry. A supervisor tells new man that he is not to take ma- terial out of the machine with his hands. but is to use tongs. Two weeks later the supervisor receives a report that the new employe had the end of his finger amputated be- cause be didn't follow instructions.
 The supervisor thought that he had trained the man. Actually, he had simply carried on a brief con- vksation. He had never gone back to see how the employe was hand ling the work, or to find out whether he was following instructions. The

65-FOOT LADDER
 TRUCK FOR CITY
Columbus, Ohio, Concern Given Contract for $l5,=
 O23 Purchase

The Seagrave Co.,, of Columbus, Ohio, was yesterday selected by the board of fire commissioners to furnish the city with a 65-foot lad der truck for the fire department. The truck will cost $15.023.50, with an allowance of $10O and a discount of 5 per cent for cash.
 Award of the contract marks only the second time in many years that the city has purchased apparatus manufactured by a company other than the American LaFrance Corp of Elmira, N. Y. The first depar- ture from custom was made a short time ago, when the contract for a 750-gallon bumper, at $7,500, was given the Maxim Motor Co.,, of Mid- dleboro, Mass. However, in that case, the American La France bid was lower.
 Only this year new 85-foot aerial ladder truck, made by Ameri- can LaFrance, has been placed in service.

 Many Aims

Providence, R. l., March 18 -
 (SpeciaD = An e.ght-point program for New England's development was proposed here today at the New England Councils 54th Quarterly Meeting by c. F. Weed, council president.
 "The New England Council is the cement which binds the New Eng land states together for common good of the whole region" President Weed declared, in outlining the program to New England business leaders assembled from the six states at the Providence Biltmore hotel.
 "It stimulates and implements the cooperative actions of the six New England governors. It concerns itself only with such matters as are New England-wide in scope. timely in importance and general in appl- cation.
 "The New England Councils im- mediate objectives are: "l. Economy and increased ef- ficiency Is government - federal, state and local; that the cost may be kept within the economic capac- ity to pay.
 "2. Promotion of sound indus trial expansion through coopera- tion of capital, labor and govern I ment and intensive research for new processes and products. 8. Adequate and proper flood control for the protection of farms homes and factories in threatened areas.
 A. Support of the governors op- position to proposed congressional readjustment of freight rates for the benefit of the south to the detri- ment of New England. s. Stimulation and coordination of efforts to attract visitors to New England to offset the loss of vaca- ton dollars which New Englanders this year will spend at New York's Worlds Fair.
 "6. Simplification and uniformity of state laws and regulations to fa- cilitate freer flow of commerce throughout the area. "7. Coordination of state high way programs to provide g regional system of through motor ways. "8. Timber salvage and reduc- ton of the fire hazard aftermath of the hurricane"

THE DANUBE STILL FLOWS TO THE SEA
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

THE DANUBE STILL FLOWS TO THE SEA The Alps being mountains, are static, The Danube still flows to the sea, But wherefor the little nations of Europe, Where oh where can they be? Geography taught the old ones some things That to the present generation are vague, And goodness knows what the oncoming ones Will ever learn about the once glorious Prague' Day by day the maps are changing, With lots of new dots and boundary nnes, The map maker is drawing pruning and cutting As expansion and limitation he defines. Once famous capitals become nothing, A race is wiped out in trice, Fall in line is the order, or else It's question of paying the price. O. the mountains and rivers look the same, They neither hide nor flee, The map makers are busy on new boundary lines But the Danube still flows to the sea!
