Parking Situation

If the gas rationing board is wondering why so many men come to them for gas coupons, so often, then let them take trip to the Victory Yard and look at the parking situation. Never have l seen such a mess in all my life.
 It's true, the whistle blows at 3:45, but we are stalled there till after 4 o'clock. On account of the poor parking many of the workers have been late. The company does not like the idea of workers com ing in late, but they don't care how late we leave the park-we are on our own time, then.
 Again we ask, What's being done for the parking situation?" Again we answer, Nothing
 I speak for all the workers who get machined in the parking lot at the change of shifts.

 Take Q typical day for the queen. An early riser, she spends Q scant hour at breakfast with the king and her two daughters, the princessss Elizabeth and Mar garet. Her business day begins by comforting with the master of the household, concerning the days schedule, menus and other domestic problems.
 By 10 o'clock she is ready to attend to Ter mall, which comes from people of all circumstances the world over. Mothers. espe- cltlly, write to tell her of their troubles, aspirations and apprecia- ton for all that the queen Is doing to encourage and comfort them.
 Once tho mall Is disposed of, the queen is ready to give an audi ence to some distinguished visitor or receive Q delegation from one of the many home or overseas services, which arc Q very special interest of hers.
 Luncheon, around l;S0, is as short as it is frugal. Never con. slsting Of more than two courses, 1t adheres strictly to rationing regulations. Only occasionally, when some hlgh-ranklng official is being entertained, do they serve game or poultry from the royal preserves.
 Afternoons, accompanied by Q lady-in- waiting, the queen visits women working in plants or makes an official call with the king. And when the royal pair makes Q tour, @ 12-hour day ia no exception. But tho queen prefers impromptu visits when she can meet the workmen under ordinary conditions, than to appear amid pomp and circunl. stance at public functions.
 Evenings, as is the custom with most facilies, arc spent quietly ct home. Sometimes there are guests but more often the queen passes several hours with her daughters in the music room, reading or planning their wardroEes. Two growing girls present just as great problem to her as to any other mother in England, for they re- ceive no more clothing coupons than does any ordinary citizen.
 And though Queen Elizabeth may prefer to spend hers on Q dark and durable ensemble, she continues Co wear the delicate pastel colors so long associated with her. because her people want her to remain the same, no mat. ter what conditions prevail.

STREET CROSSING DANGEROUS TODAY
Children Urged to Exer- else Care at Intersec-
 tiOns; Suggest Slogan

A warning to children on the ,dan- gers of crossing certain intersec. tons is sounded today by Patrolman William Q. rUyer In another of the police department accident prevep- ton bureaus articles on safety. It follows:
 When we start to cross the street; we must not Shilly Shally; And now you ask mo what 1t means; Well; It says we shall not Daily; Cause if we Daily there too long; We arc doing something that Is wrong; We put our life right on the spot: For trying something we should not; So Boys and Girls Please be Alert; And prevent yourselves from getting hurt.
 Tonight's pep talk is on 60 called Dangerous Corners. We'll, what real- ly makes on intersection bad one to cross9 Not always the layout; most of the time 1t is the people who use the street in Q careless manner. Then too the automobile drivers fail to show Q little courtesy toward the good old fashioned per- son known as the Pedestrian. What kind of chance have we got as one who has to put our life In jeopardy every time we cross the street? I don't believe 1t Is any ex. aggeration in saying this is the truth. The conflict between the Driving and Walking Public has been the bone of contention for many years SO far as Accident Pre- vention Is concerned. And there is no one group that the existing site uatlon can be attributed to. We have drivers who will blow their horn and scare you right off the crosswalk; and on the other hand we have the Pedestrian who walks out between two parked cars and takes about five years off the drivers life.
 Safety devices are useless unless we take advantage of the protection they offer us. Safety Is an tTldividu. al Problem and Police Dept. per. sonnel no matter how efficient or great in numbers cannot eliminate accidents completely. All drivers are pedestrians at some time or other and they understand the problems confronting the person on foot; but all pedestrians are not drivers and they fail to realiZ. the driver has 0 great many problems of his own. There is one fact that stands out and that Is the pedestrian Is ale ways the Victim and with this in mind let us wait until there is a break In traffic before crossing. You simply cannot win against the auto. Always Look All Ways Before Stepping of Curb. The A. B. 0. of SAFETY IS ALWAYS BE CARE. FUL.
