They and Ford himself know
that If the labor camel should get

is precisely what Hillman and the

"The need for circulating the
Bible in a troubled world does not
grow less with the passing of the
years, Indeed, it seems that never
before have the teachings Of the
Bible been more. greatly needed

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

When an impatient auto driver
sQueezes past you at a, stop light
do you grin and let him go his
perilous way-or do you jam down
the accelerator and snarl, IVA So
and-so, va amt gonna get away
with that!"
When a can't-wait guy cuts out
of line of traffic to pass and then
finds himself trapped by an APP
preaching car, do you smile indul-
gently and let him back in. line-or
do you close up the gap and gioat,
Nov you're in it. chum. How va
gonna get out of this one?"
The Delaware Safety Council
hopes that your reaction is the first
one, because revenge at so miles
an hour on a reckless and incon-
siderate driver, no matter how JUS
titled, is too often fatal.
That's why the Council, launch
ing the Christmas phase of the
Nationwide Emergency Safety
Campaign called for by President
Roosevelt, is offering this slogan:
Give Courtesy for Christmas"
It's the Peace ON Earth, Good
will Toward Men" idea, the Council
explains. Why not take the Christ
mas spirit with you behind the
wheel of your car? Why not give
other drivers and pedestrians a
break? Why not be patient with the
and boorishness of
others?
If the nations motorists and pc
destrians would give each other
courtesy for Christmas, the Della
ware Safety Council is convinced
that the skyrocketing traffic death
toll would take a slump in the final
month of the year.
This holiday season will prove |
very gloomy and perhaps tragic
{ you are the victim of an acci-
lent. Don't let it happen to you. /

SHADOW OF THE THIN MAN
AT PLAZA THEATRE SOON

M-G-M's. "Thin Man" pictures
have always set a record for witty
sophisticated entertainment, and
Shadow of the Thin Man." newest
of. the series, opens Sunday for
three days at the new Plaza The
atre, with William Powell and Myr-
ma 10y again, cast as Nick and Nora
Charles, proves no exception.
Showing the sure touches of Maj.
w. S. Van Dyke II, the director
who has piloted all the previous
"Thin Man" dramas to success,
and knowingly cast with a group
of comedy wise supporting play
ers, among them Barry Nelson,
Donna Reed, Sam Levene, Alan
Baxter and Henry O'Neill, the new
episodes of the detective and his
scintillating wife in no way falters
on the path of true comedy-drafna
Shadow of the Thin Man" starts
with an apparent murder at race
track. A variety of suspicious
characters are involved, including
two rival newspaper men, the head
of the State Athletic Commission,
a big shot gambler, betting COM
missioner and the latter's blonde
girl friend. The mystery gets into
a seemingly insoluble muddle until
a young reporter friend of Nick's
is arrested after a second murder.
This brings Powell, as Nick
Charles, into the case and he uses
his own distinctive methods to
bring the real murderer to light.
No report of Shadow of the Thin
Man" would be complete without
mention of wrestling bout which
ends with the wrestlers tumbling
into Miss Logs lap. 1t is without
doubt one of the most hilarious
episodes ever screened.
