traffic victim, according to an
nouncement by q. M. F'alconed,
President OF the Automobile Club
of Maryland and Director of the
American Automobile Association.
"The AAA, together with twenty
four other national organizations,
Is sponsoring the Wartime High
way Traffic Program continued
Mr.. Falconer, zone important goal
Of which Is 10 reduce traffic deaths
and injuries involving those afoot.
Pedestrian hazards are increas-
ing, because 24-hour production OF
war materials greatly increases
workers walking In hours of dark
ness when the majority of pedes-
trian fatalities occur; more soldiers
are walking along highways; more
drivers, many In hurry and think

crossings and regular police traffic
work. Present conditions inevitably
mean increased walking, and 1t
should be remembered that when
ONE car Is not used, 1t often means
that TWO, THREE, OR EVEN
FOUR PERSONS are walking more.
Pedestrians have a right to use
streets and highways as well as mo-
;orists, but they also have mutual
obligations" explained Mr.. Falcon
or. "If they share the use of the
highway, they should also share the
responsibility for their safety. The
aw protects them legally when
walking facing traffic, crossing road
ways at marked crosswalks, crossing
at intersection, and when traffic
lights are provided, crossing on
green light or walk signal-but
the law does not protect them ply
sically. Their duty is to walk warily.
ITO walk safely they should obey
these further suggestions offered by
he Automobile Club of Maryland
rs part Of its pedestrian safety
program:
Look carefully in both directions
before crossing streets.
Never cross street or highways
rom between parked cars.
Obey traffic signals and officer at
ontrolled intersections.
Walk directly across the street
md remember, theobJect is to spend
Is little time as possible in the
'oadway.
When boarding or alighting from
street car or bus always walk in
the safety zone to the cross-walk or
corner, and from that point to the
.urb.
Always cross at night where
lights are bright
Wear or carry something white
when walking on highways after
dark.

MEMORIAL

In loving memory of Mrs. w. NJ
Wilson, who departed this life Jan
uary 3, 1913.
The clock of life Is wound but once,
And no one has the power
To say just when the hands shall
stop,
At late or early hour.
Now Is the Gniy time we have,
So live, love and work with will,
And take no thought of the morrow,
For the clock may then be still.
Whereas, God in His infinit wis
dom has called our sister to her
eternal rest, we, ...e women of West
Nottingham Presbyterian Chur h
and Missionary Society. wish to ex-
press our deep sorrow and sense of
loss in the passing of our friend,
Mrs. w. N. Wilson.
She was devoted mother, faith
full Christian worker, cheerful
companion and loyal friend. She was
interested in all the activities of the
church and community. She will be
sadly missed, not only by our little
band, but by the whole community
to which she contributed so much In
so many ways.
Mrs. Wilson was treasurer of
National Missions for twenty-five
years. She was prompt, efficient ana
trustworthy. She was chairman of
the Flower Committee year after
year. She always seemed to know
about the ailing ones in our congre-
CATION and at once sent them beauti-
full flowers, letters and cards.
To each task and obligation she
brought an earnest, cheerful dispo-
sition to help We shall miss her
sweet smile, congenial companion
ship, her helping hands and will
ingness to stand by until the last
task was finished. In truth we may
say she has done what she could.
ITO Emmie:''
You are the one who has journ-
led through;
You have kept the faith and have
buildled true.
Rest beloved, Swe e t, Rest!
In thy friendship we have been blest
SO sleep on, o Friend, until the
Judgment day.
And we who loved thy presence here
Will keep thee in our hearts,
memory always
Through all the coming years.

Schools Open Drive
To Buy 10000 Jeeps

THE little jeep which is serving
L so nobly from Guadalcanal to
Africa has become the symbol of
the gigantic efforts of millions of
American school children in their
War Savings program.
Thousands of public, private and
parochial schools soon will be dis
playing a certificate of honor from
Secretary Of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., signifying that
they have paid for at least one jeep
by buying 5000 in War Stamps and
Bonds.
Countless others will be flying the

schools with 80 percent pupil par
ticipation in War Savings.

High Government officials have
pointed out that the nation must not
fail in this duty to our men on the
battle fronts who are now carrying
the offensive to the enemy at every
stage. It is obvious to every thinking
man and woman that as the United
Nations take this offensive against
the dictators, the cost of war opera
tons increases in proportion.
The American people must no
longer think of war costs in terms of
euuipping a soldier, building tank
or plane or a ship. We must now
think in terms of the cost of bat
ties, invasions and new offensives.
Attacking armies cost more money
than equipping that army and we
must meet that increased cost by
buying more War Bonds and Second
War Loan Securities.
They Give Their Lives.
1t is not only necessary that the
American people left here at home
assume this additional participation
in the war effort-it is an honor to
do so for we here at home can
do no less than attempt to approach
the sacrifices of our brave men out
on the fighting fronts to whom the
last great measure of sacrifice is
but daily offering. They give their
lives we are asked only tc
lend our money.
And that is the theme of the Sec
ond War Loan, "They Give Theil
Lives-You Lend Your Money"

GREATEST TASK In HISTORY
FACES TELEPHONE PEOPLE

armed services, the Civil Aeronautics
Authority and other government de-
partments. The handling Of "Army
Flash" calls was speeded and Civilian
Defense telephone arrangements were
greatly extended and improved. Spe-
cial efforts were made to give men in
the services the best and most per-
sonal service that could be provided so
that they could enjoy talking to the
home folks.
Scarcity of materials made it impos-
sible to build all the lines needed to
keep ahead of mounting traffic, and
for the duration it will be necessary
for the country to make the best use
Of what it has. Consequently, since
the middle of the year, the Bell Sys-
tenn companies have widely advertised
to the public the need to avoid un-
necessary calls on war-busy routes.
All available resources of the Bell
Telephone Laboratories in 1912 were
devoted to the development of war
tools involving communications tech
nicues, or to related purposes. At the
end of the year the Laboratories were
working on more than 300 develop
ment projects for the Army, Navy and
National Defense Research Committee.
The Western Electric Company in
1912 increased its production of war
materials more than seven times over
1941. Telephone manufacture for the
Bell System was greatly restricted
and will remain so for the duration.
Through its subsidiary. Nassau Smelt-
ing and Refining Company, Western
Electric reclaimed more than 23,000,-
900 pounds of copper in 1912, and adj
ded more than 100000 pounds Of
bronze and brass to the nations
supply.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1943-04-16

The first year of war imposed on
the Bell System the most important
responsibility and the greatest task in
it's history. In the face of rising diff
ficulties-chief among them the short.
age of essential materials-the tele-
phone team was called upon to handle
more calls than ever before, and a
steadily increasing proportion of these
calls, particularly over long distance
lines, were Of vital Importance to the
war effort.
The average daily number of tele-
phone conversations handled by the
system in 1912 was estimated at al
most 87,400,0O0, a record high, and
about 100000 a day more than in
1941. This figure includes both local
and toll conversations. Toll converse
tions in 1912 were 3,406,0O0 day, or
about per cent above 1941. More
toll calls were completed in 1912 than
in three years at the time of World
War |.
Men and women in the Bell System
including the Western Electric Com
pany and Bell Telephone Laboratories.
numbered about 100000 at the end of
the year, or some 10000 more than
at its beginning. There were more
than $4,000 Bell System men and
women in military service at the be-
ginning of 1913.
As an indication of the extent of
the telephone war job, telephone cable
containing nearly II billion feet OF
wire was placed to serve military es-
Establishments and other government
war projects requiring new or greatly
enlarged telephone facilities.
Thousands of miles Of private line
circuits were provided in 1912 for the

Leonora Strengthened the objects
on her desk with great care. She had
put her desk at the end of her room
facing the door so that when her
mother came in she would have to
cross the whole room under Leo
nora's stern executive eye to get to
her. From movies and pictures in the
newspapers Leonora had gotten
good idea of how the desk of busy

With an important scowl, Leonora

POTATO sHORl

Now comes a shortage that may be
more widely and painfully felt than
all that have gone before. Officials of
the Food Distribution Administration
admit that potatoes are scarce and
will be scarce. 1t is said the shortage
will continue until the new crop
comes in, perhaps six weeks from
now.
The potato is not the foundation
of square meal, nor its main deli
cacy. But most good meals do in
clude potatoes. This may be because
there are innumerable ways of pre-
pairing and serving potatoes, hot or
cold, boiled or baked or fried. Pota-
toes play an important part in stews
and hash and salads.
Here is a hint to victory garden
ers that the plenty they are hoping
and working for must bide its time,
which is the time it takes to grow it.

BATTLE OF FOOD

The Agricultural Department in
Washington has reason to believe
that the harvest of 1913, despite the
shortage of farm labor, will approach
the record levels of last year. Some
of the reports are that "the supply
will be adequate" If the weather is
good the battle of food may be won.
Even so, rationing will be continued.
