and his band, and such movie stall
warts as Jerry Colonna. Albert Dek-
ker, Lillian Cornell, and Edward
Everett Horton.
Bonnie told us, with little prod
ding, the story of her life. Five
years ago, when she was II, she
sang in night clubs in her native
Houston, Tex. She got by fine. too,
considering the fact that she liv-
ed with her stepfather and mother
and didn't have to pay board.
An agent sent her to st. Louis
where an almost unknown band
headed by Tucker was playing in
the Claridge hotel. Bonnie sang her
songs for a couple Of weeks and
ioined Tucker as his vocalist. She
and the band bounced all over the
country on one night stands. with
out ever making much of a hit.
It was a good enough band and
Bonnie was a good enough singer,
but there were other bands and
other singers just as good.
A year and half ago they were
performing In a Chicago cabaret.
Goth Century-Fox press agents took
to the Windy City their film, I'm
Old Chicago" for its premiere. The
publicists went to all the night spots
and asked the performers to lend
hand. Mostly the singers put on
bustles. while the bands played old
time songs.
Tucker pulled out dog-eared
CODY of "Oh Johnny" for Bonnie to
sing. So she sang it. The rest is
history.
It was an instantaneous hit. She
sang it over the radio and she start

HOLLYWOOD. oct. 10. (UP)-
You know this Bonnie Baker, who
sings "Oh Johnny. How You Can
Lover" you've heard her? Well sir,
she's lonesome. Sometimes she cries
herself to sleep.
More than 100000 persons. most
ly men. have bought phonograph
records of this one song and they sit
there and sigh when they listen to
her warble. Mostly they believe that
she's a glamour girl. with beau
at each elbow, champagne suppers
and the. whole works.
And the truth is, there's Bonnie
sitting in her hotel room. shifting
because she hasn't got anybody to
take her places. Things have come
to such a pass she's figuring on
abandoning the show business. buy
ing drug store for her step-father
and helping him run it. At least
she'll meet some nice young fel-
lows. selling 'em razor blades and
tooth paste.
If we were a great dramatist, we'o
make a play out of the plight OF
Bonnie Baker. All the ingredients
are there. the pathos. the conflict
the humor-everything. But we're nc
playwright. Well just put down the
facts; maybe you can turn then
into the drama of the decade:

highway district accused the state
toll bridge authority and the state
highway department today OF d.
verting traffic from the Golden

of the American Canyon highway
and the Lake Chabot highway north
of Vallejo advising motorists to
travel over the state owned Carqui-
nez Span.
The Golden Gate directors said
that their span had been LOSING
southbound traffic since placing o1
the sign.
They instructed Russell Cone
bridge engineer, to place a Colder
Gate bridge directional sign along
side the Carquinez marker and an
nounced they would take the mat
ter to court if the state highway
department intcrfered with the nev
sign.
The directors referred to the fl
nance and building and operating
committees the investigation o.
charges that certain bridge toll col
lectors had been knocking down
on cash tolls.
Director William Hadeler said tht
committees would meet with tol

Safety Maxilns Aid
In Averting Mishaps
Hundreds OF Persons Inspect Exhibits At Elton Gem
trail Y. M C. A. As Part Of Safety Week Observance

If people would direct their think
ing in terms Of safety, the toll Of
accidental deaths and injuries would
be cut tremendously, the Waterbury
Citizens Permanent Traffic Safety
Committee said today in . Safety
Week statement. Acts of foolish
ness and carelessness cost thousands
of lives each year, lives that could
have been saved through following
the simple maxirns Of Safety at
home, at work and at play, the COM
mittee says.
Further splendid response to the
Waterbury Safety Week programs
is reported. Safety Week began
Sunday, and will end Saturday.
Vital Subject
Home safety which a great many
people forget to practice Is very
vital subject. Deaths due to falls
and injuries in the home tally as
great total as the lives lost on
the streets and highways. The Cit
liens Traffic Safety Committee sug-
gests that Waterburians make an
inventory Of the home and check
their electrical appliances to see if
they are in proper working order.
Short circuits cause great number
of fires and therefore 1t Is urged that
wiring systems should be checked to
eliminate this possibility.
Falls account for more than fifty
percent Of deaths in the homes
during the course Of a year. Falls
on stairs and steps, both inside and
outside the house, constitute the
most important specific type OF
serious home accidents. Other
types OF falls inside the home which
include such mishaps as slipping on
loose rugs, stumbling over toys or
other objects takes its toll yearly.
The advocates of safety believe
that the practice of this. important
subject should begin in the home.
This is one Of the phases of Safety
Week being emphasized by the
Safety Week Committee.
Exhibits Interesting
Exhibits at the Hotel Elton and
the Central Y. M. G. A. are being
visited by hundreds of people. An
other interesting sight is the wrecked
car located at the Carrie Welton
Fountain. 1t depicts just what can
happen from driving at too great a
rate Of speed.
Alan G. Curtiss, co-chairman Of
the Safety Week Committee stated
