When roads are slippery, it is harder
to stop car and extra care is necessary
on the part Of the driver and the
pedestrian. If you are walking, be
extra careful at intersections. Even
though the traffic must stop, it may
be impossible for the driver to bring
a car to halt at the right place.
If you are driving your car in slip

Exercise more care at intersections and
in turning corners.
Unless it is absolutely necessary to
use the car, leave it in the garage

must keep the two-party system.
To preserve our government, the
people Of this country want. and
are entitled to- an aggressive and
strong opposition party in Wash
ington-one that is watching for
the mistakes Of the party in
power; an opposition that is patri-
otto and fair but not afraid TO
oppose its policies and programs as
well as administration of laws and
public expenditures.
An appeasement program by the
opposition party will lead 10 one

sppeasement policy by the opposi-
non party means party suicide.

Army Relief
Society
For Needy
Mrs. Smedburg
Heads Its Work
In Washington

One of the most worthwhile activ-
tiles of service ladies is the work
they do through the Army Relief
Society. 1t is the only organization
devoted solely to the relief of be-
reaved families of officers and en-
listed men of the Regular Army.
1t is not generally understood by
people outside that when Army
women lose their husbands, they lose
not only their support, but must i'm
mediately vacate their home, which
may have been on some remote
Army post, leave their friends and
start life all over again. No COM
munity feels any responsibility for
these people They are outside the
consideration of the Community
Chest, or the Red Cross. The Army
Relief Society is the only organiza-
tion that can come to their aid.
A small group of women met in
New York City just after the Span
ish- War with Mrs. Daniel
Lamont, widow of President Cleve-
lands Secretary of War, and organ
ized the Army Relief Society. For
40 years it had, and still has. no
other object than quietly providing
assistance for bereaved families of
the Regular Army. 1t does its work
silently and well. No salaries or
rentals are paid, there is small
charge made for the printing of its
annual report but all other money
collected by those who generously
devote their time and energy goes
for direct aid. The headquarters
are in New York City and there are
II units throughout the United
States and its possessions.
