and an economic loss of about $44,-
100000, Colonel M. S. Battle, director
of the Division of Motor Vehicles,
said in announcing the official acct
dent report.
The total number of accidents dur
ing last year were 21,361, resulting in
LILO deaths and 1888 persons in
iured. A total of 14,151 accidents re
suited only in property damage.
The tremendous increase in traffic
caused by the military and industrial
development, and motorists utter dis
regard of all traffic laws and safety
rules were the chief contributing fac
tors in chalking up the unprecenden-
ted record, Colonel Battle said.
In making his comment, the direc-
tor pointed to a breakdown of the ia
talities which revealed that 434 per-
sons lost their lives in one-car acct
dents, or 39.1 percent of the total
number killed.
One-car accidents, Col. Battle eX-
planned, are those in which a vehicle
runs off the road or crashes into a
fixed object.
The darkest figure in the report is
that in IS percent of all accidents,

drivers were in violation of the law.
This alone proves that utter disre-
gard for the traffic laws by motorists
is the chief factor in the 1871 record.
The only way to meet this attitude of
complete Indifference is with a rigid
and unremitting enforcement program
with an adequate number of police to
patrol the $4,000 miles of highway
in Virginia, said the report.

COLUMN
An Open Letter To Our Newly
Elected Mayor
My Dear Mayor:

My Dear Mayor:
You have been recently elected
Mayor of the City of Pocomoke, in
which capacity, you are truly a rep
resentative of the people and in that
capacity you have the honor and re-
sponsiblities that as a matter of
course go with that office. At times
you may be called on to enact legis-
lation for the benefit of many even
though such legislation may not be
m accord with your beliefs.
You will from time to time, be ten
dered suggestions by residents of this
City, matters which they believe, will
add to the betterment of this munich
pality
| have been requested by a large
number of citizens, to write you for
the purpose of stating to you that
they are DESTROYS in having Sunday
movies in Pocomoke, providing that
same does not conflict with the hours
of worship of our local religious in
situations. 1t may be suggested that
this matter can be determined by a
special election, if your Honor is not
certain that the majority of the Citi-
zens are in favor of such a move.
They believe that the above senti-
ment is that of the majority of our
Citizenry, particularly in view of the
fact that we have within the confines
of our City, a number of Soldiers,
who have no entertainment on this
day.
Movies are operated in several
towns on the Eastern Shore of Vir-
ginia, with gratifying results. Movies
are conducted in the larger cities on
Sunday and while some may say,
"They are large cities, it is entirely
different" nevertheless, can it be said
that Cape Charles, Belle Haven, Elk
more and Onancock, Va, are theoret-
ically different from our City?
This Sunday, the local Soldiers will
present play at our local theatre for
which l understand, hundreds of tick
cts have been sold. Not only will
people go to be entertained but to
assist the boys in the Armed Forces
as well.
It has been suggested that 1C
cent tax be placed on all Sunday
tickets, which money so collected, vii
be used for the Municipal Park OIL
other such matter as the Mayor anC
Town Council may designate.
Mr.. Mayor, we know you will give
this matter some thought.
Very respectfully yours,
M. VIM. Miller

SPECIAL EFFORT
TO BE- MADE AT
CHEST CLINICS
Campaign Held Regularly Each
Year During The Spring
Season, Universally
CLINICS ARRANGED BY
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER

Find it-treat it-conquer it." as
it applies to tuberculosis, sums up the
underlying motive of this years, ma
tion-wide early Discovery-Early
Recovery" campaign sponsored by the
National tuberculosis Association.
The campaign is held regularly, each
year, during the spring season and is
participated in by all tuberculosis &C
tivities throughout the country.
Accordingly, DR.. r. H. Riley, Di-
rector Of the State Department of
Health, said that a special effort will
be made at the chest clinics, which
will be held as usual, throughout the
Counties Of Maryland, to find early
cases Of the disease and to see that
remedial measures are started with
out delay
"As a matter of fact, Dr. Riley
continued, this years challenging
slogan, expresses what has become
the basis of all of our tuberculosis ac-
tivities, all the year-round, not only
for a given season. Those who have
had long experience in the fight a
gainst this disease have necessarily
learned many things, two of the most
important of which are these: (D
Every case Of tuberculosis is contrac-
ted from some other case; (2) The
earlier the discovery of the presence
of the disease, the greater the posi-
bility of control or of complete cure.
The present plan of attack is based
on this knowledge.
"a great deal has been accomplish
ed in the fight against tuberculosis.
But tuberculosis is still a source of
great danger to young people, boys
and girls, young men and women, old
er men and women in the very prime
of life The disease is very treacher-
Gus and often does not show easily
recognizable signs of its presence un-
til it is firmly established. On that
account, it is necessary to guard a
gainst it at all times and to get eX-
perienced medical advice whenever
suspicious symptoms occur.
