CHILDREN'S BEACH
HOUSE CHATTER
RilgelY

Ridgeiy
A really responsible boy is thor.
oughly appreciated. Add to the
quality of responsibility the readi-
ness and actual desire to do things
and the individual possessing those
characteristics is truly to be COM
mended. Such is Ridgely. our err
rand boy, our builder. repair boy
and general helper.
Ridge can be depended upon to
offer his services. After each meal
he asks if he may remove the empty
tin cans. take out the ashes. bring
in wood for the fireplace, or coal
for the kitchen range.
Early Friday morning he needs
not be reminded to remove the
mattress from his bed and raise the
springs, as must be done with all
beds before they can be thorough
ly cleaned. Nothing is too he Wy
for him to lift. Even though he is
small of stature and only seven
years of age, he wants to move a
table himself, carry four Of our
little chairs or a deep pile of build
ing boards at a time. He is eager
TO raise the heaviest crate or box
in the storage room.
The favorite pastime of Ridge is
building. Therefore he appreciates
a rainy day, when he can get out
the building boards and all the
blocks. small ones, square ones,
and particularly the big round
ones. When the fort is made, and
jeeps. tanks. and trucks are in
place. many of the boys are ready
to man it. If the weather is mild,
especially in summer, Ridge may
be found after nap period digging
for a fort and trenches. or perhaps
forming an imaginary boat, in
which he invites us to ride.
Any time he may be noticed Sc
lecting from the pile of salvaged
wood a nice smooth board suitable
for a bench or table. No wonder
Santa brought him a tool chest, for
he can use every tool. Ridge is
quick to discover a chair without
silencer. Result? He gets the
hammer. and Immediately the chair
is intact When the leg of a table
is found loose. it is Ridge who finds
the correct-sized screw and presto!
the table is as good as new.
We call Ridge our little Beau
Brummel, for he is always as neat
as a pin in brown or blue jersey
shorts and matching striped jersey
sweater, with trim brown oXfords, (
or in his new brown-leather-trim-
med green snow outfit. We predict
that Ridge may become a valuable |
and we hope a success

SAFETY COUNCIL NOTES

If You Drive This Winter" you
must be extra careful to protect
your irreplaceable motor vehicle
and your tires.
If you must drive this winter,
fill your car to comfortable capa-
city and go prepared to get
through. regardless of snow or ice.
Reduce your speed to conform to
the conditions of the road-and
take no chances. Use your chains
on ice and snow to reduce braking
distances as much as 40 or so per
cent. Chains also give added trac-
tion, and uniformity in perform
ance under severe winter weather.
Follow other vehicles at a safe
distance. 1t takes from 8 to IL
times as long to stop when pave
ments are snowy or icy. Apply
brakes on slippery pavements
lightly and with pumping action.
If you jam on the brakes, they
may lock and throw your car into
a dangerous skid.
NEVER MAKE A QUICK STOP
IN FRONT OF ANOTHER We
HICLE. A rear-end collision may
cripple your car for the duration
of the war.
Copies of the pamphlet entitled,
IF You Drive This Winter" can
be had merely by contracting the
Delaware Safety Council by phone
or mail, and making your request
known.
These pamphlets should prove
very helpful to men and women em-
ployed in the industrial plants and
fleets of the State of Delaware.
Men and women who drive motor
vehicles back and forth to work
should have this valuable informa-
tion to aid in the protection of
cars and trucks, and tires which
are essential to the war effort.
We must help speed up the Vic
tory Program for the Allied Ma
tions.

AS POSSIBLE!
