In an air raid, motorists should
restrain the impulse that sends
people scurrying to fires or acci-
dents, that natural curiosity and
liking for excitement, the Keystone
Automobile Club warned today.
If enemy bombers arrive, said
George E. Keneipp. club manager,
Don't rush to the scene in auto
mobiles. 1t is the fear of officials
that the same curiosity which i'm
pels motorists to attend fires may
be exhibited in a bombing raid,
with consequent congestion of traffic
and vastly increased danger to life
and property" Mr.. Keneipp added:
IF blackouts should become neces-
sary, only those who have urgent
need to travel by motor car should
use their vehicles at night. Where
travel is absolutely essential, lights
should be covered with oilcloth, or
similar material, and blue cello
phane. A horizontal slit in the OIL
cloth covering will permit a faint
blue light not discernible to planes
above an altitude of 400 feet"
The club also suggested that.
wherever possible, cars be parked
off the streets at night, thus max
ing room for fire and police ap-
paratus. This applies particularly
to narrow streets. These days, it
was pointed out, motorists should
be on the alert for motorized troops
and yield the right of way, regard
less of traffic lights.
Liberal use of white paint on CEN
ters of streets, on curbs and at
distractions and on the bumpers
and tenders of vehicles is highly
effective in reducing accidents dur
ing a blackout, the American Auto
mobile Association said, relaying ad-
vice received from the Royal Auto
mobile Club of London.
Police precinct commanders
have been instructed by Inspector
Harvey G. Callahan, executive
officer at headquarters, to locate
in each area space for an auxiI-
iary police station, to be used
in case the regular precinct house
should be destroyed or badly
damaged.
Inspector Callahan said such
location might be in the base
ments of apartment houses or
office buildings, in garages or
warehouses, but should be pro-
vided without cost to the Dis
trict. As soon as they are made

Last week. one OF the Negro
papers carried front-page story
about the local chicken shack and
what happened there on Monday
night. Feb. II, or early Tuesday
morning Feb. IS Every word was
true. Miss Henderson was man
handled by one OF our local coun-
cilmen and two or three shots were
fred by the proprietor, but Miss
Henderson was not hurt. The said
trustee, Bill Born, was not very
popular among the colored voters.
so this incident put crimp in his
chances OF being reelected, because
Negroes as whole are getting
more minded. When a white
man goes so far as TO hit one OF
our women IN our own community
In a Negro place of business. and
when he is public servant. / don't
think he should get vote from the
colored race.
A Negro who will stand up for a
white man against his own race,
knowing that the white man Is
wrong. should have no place among
respectable members OF the race
The Chicken Shack seems TO he a
sore spot in our community Yours
truly has never written anything
about it. but now the public is cry

opinion. il is a stumbling block Ia
