SAFETY COUNCIL HOTEs

MOTORISTS - There are two
emergency warning signals that
warn you of danger. Do you heed
them?
The first is the red flare or pot
torch. Truck drivers use them
when their vehicles are stopped
along the road. Construction work
ers also use them to warn of re-
pairs ahead.
The second emergency signal is
the siren, used by fire trucks, am
balances and police cars.
The Delaware Safety Council
says that many serious accidents
have been caused by motorists dis
regarding these warnings. Remem-
Der that both of them mean dang
er!
TO AVOID that run down feeling,
don't run across the street!
Running across the street in the
middle of the block, or trying to
dash across at an intersection be-
fore the light changes, often brings
disaster when the pedestrians loses
his footing and falls in the path of
a car.
Be sure the way is clear. Then
walk-don't run-to the other side!
TRAFFIC DEATHS are increas-
ing, and accidents out on the open
road in rural areas are chiefly re-
sponsible, the Council says.
Here are two things every mo-
toriSt can do to help stop these
accidents:
1. Cut down on speed, especially
at night and when curves or hills
make it impossible to see danger
ahead.
2. Avoid recklessness. such as
weaving in and out of traffic and
taking chances in passing.
Remember-the life you save by
driving carefully may be your own!

Huckleberry Crop Is
About Over In Sussex
CONTINUED from First Page)


the state is in Cypress Swamp
which often has been called the
Delaware Everglades" 1t con-
tanned years ago thousands OF
acres of underground and boggy
sections, and this was ideal for the
growth of the "hucks." Within the
past few years much of the swamp
has been drained and they do not
abound, it is said, like they did a
quarter of century ago.
There are two varieties which
are entirely different in flavor, col
or and size, and are known as
"hig-bush" and "low-bush." The
"high-bush" grow in swampy sec
tions, such as the Cypress Swamp,
and often the bushes attain a
height of six and eight feet. They
are larger than the "low-bush" and
are a light blue, while the "low-
bush" are dark blue and some
times almost black. The latter Of
ten are referred to as "blue bells"
and are of an excellent flavor.
Lower Delaware housewives, in
some sections, are canning them
for pie-making this winter.
