The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-17

A Christmas season truce between automobile drivers and pedestrians was urged today in a Motor Vehicles Department bulletin.
 Only more caution on the part of both the driver and the pedestrian will forestall the sharp increase in fatalities that comes with Decem- Der weather and the Christmas rush, the bulletein pointed out.
 Drivers were urged to make a special effort to give all considera- ton to the pedestrian who often appears reckless simply because he does not understand the problems that confront a driver. Less than 5 per cent of the adult pedestrians killed in Connecticut over an eight year period had ever operated an automobile, the department rec ords show.
 "A pedestrian, for his part, makes grave mistake in assuming that because he sees the lights of an ap- preaching car that the driver will see him in time to stop" it was pointed out. Every pedestrian should know that it is sometimes hard to see him after dark and that car travelling at only 30 miles an hour cannot stop in less than 1 73 feet"
 The terms for safer December mentioned in the bulletein would have the driver:
 1. Approach pedestrians eau tiously, no matter what the condi- | tiOns.

MAYOR ISSUES 1. SAFETY APPEAL
Urges Special Vigilance on Part of All Motorists,
 Pedestrians

Special vigilance on the part of motorist and pedestrian alike dur ing the busy Christmas season are urged by Mayor Vincent A. Scully in an official statement today.
 The mayor joins with Gov. Ray mond E. Baldwin and safety organiza- tions in asking that every possible effort be made to insure real Merry Christmas and Happy New Year by reducing the accident toll Mayor Scully's statement fol- lowS:-
 The Connecticut Highway Safety Commission has adopted plans for a safety campaign which will con- tinue until the end of the year. This campaign has the endorse ment of Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin and the active support of the Wa terbury Citizens Permanent Traf- fic Safety Committee and the Waterbury Police Department.
 It is particularly appropriate that all governmental agencies de- vote marked attention to this important work at a time of the year, such as this, when thousands of pedestrians are using the high ways. The Christmas and New Year season, naturally, turns the thoughts of citizens to many other considerations and it is the time that many will be less observant of traffic considerations. It is therefore important that the ut most vigilance be exercised by all pedestrian and motor vehicle operator alike so that accidents may be reduced to minimum. A successful campaign requires the active cooperation of the entire public and urge that people stop and look before crossing the street and then, thatt hey do SO only at the customary street crossing and crosswalks.
 The Waterbury Citizens Per manent Traffic Safety Committee and associated public and private organization are rendering genuine public service in endeav' bring to keep our city safety. minded and I urge the whole hearted cooperation of everybod. who uses our highways. The ab sence of accidents and the con seuuent injury and damage result ing from such accidents is boun' to leave the people of the Cit of Waterbury and our visitors i a much better position to enjoy happy Christmas and New Yea season. Thoughtfulness an consideration on the part of a concerned, and the observance ( safety rules will produce beneficis results for the entire community

Urge Truce Between Drivers, Pedestrian:
Success StOry!|
Local Lad Committed for Truancy Makes Good Returning
 for Holidays.

An admirable case of juvenile rehabilitation and an anticipated Christmas holiday reunion with his mother will brighten the Juietlde for a local youth and his family. The youth, who is a little over 16- years-of-age was committed to the Connecticut School for Boys ID ,Meriden when he refused to attend school. His complaint was that he did not like attending classes. He was brought to juvenile court for habitual truancy and subsequently sent to the boys school in Meriden.
 Judge T. E. Conway cited the lau as an example of putting to use his time profitably. The boy lives at the school and during the day IS employed as a general handy boy with a Meriden concern. During the period of year, he has man. aged to save $138 which he has on deposit with bank, has contribute ed to the support of his mother ana brothers, has purchased new sulg' and paid the electric and gas Dliis as they became due.
 The youth does all this on pay of $l5.6o a week, and he enjoys his work.
 The boy. through lessons taught at the institution, will eventually as- sume responsibility for the care of his mother and younger members oi his family.

2. Remember that if pedestrian starts across the street on a green light, he has the right of way un- til he reaches the other side, even though the light changes before he gets there.
 3. Keep the entire surface of your windshield sufficiently clear so that you will be able to see a pedestrian before it is too late.
 4. Watch for the pedestrian who may be about to step out from in front of 8 standing bus or from between parked cars.
 5. If the road surface is wet or icy, try out your brakes occasion ally and keep aware of stopping distances.
 The pedestrian, on the other hand, is urged to "give the driver a break"
 1. Don't start across the street, especially after dark, until the road is clear. If you have to wait in the middle of the street after dark driver may not see you in time to avert an accident.
 2. Cross at corners or cross- walks, and watch for the driver who may be coming around the corner
 3. Most important of all: When in doubt-wait A car may be travel ing faster than you think. And the faster it is travelling, the longer it will take to stop it.
 4. And remember, there is nc room for absent mindedness on the streets and highways of today.

WELFARE WORKERS
 GET NEW OFFICES
City Hall Equipment Being Removed to Welt0n
 Street School

Moving of the city welfare de- partment offices from the City Hall to the new welfare headquarters at Welton street school began today. The offices will be used by the four local selective service draft boards.
 The removal of desks, records and equipment was proceeding speedily today and the department will be able to begin operating at its new location within day or two.
 The food supply base, on Center street, will not be moved for two or three weeks, 1t was announced by Welfare Superintendent Martin F.. Hayden. It is planned to let the stock deplete considerably before the base is moved to the new loca- tion.
 Alterations at the Welton street school have been completed by the Thomas Moran, Jr., Company, which was awarded the contract for the work. The building was used as a draft registration center yesterday. The new location will make pos- sibie the centralization of all well fare department activities under one roof.
