ii fatalities occurred on the rural
highways.
Prince Georges County reported
of the rural traffic deaths, Mont
gomery 2, Allegany, Baltimore, I,
Charles, Dorchester, Frederick, St.
Mary's Washington, and Worcester,
l each, while Anne Arundel, Calvert
Caroline, Cecil, Carroll, Garrett, Har-
ford, Howard, Kent, Queen Anne's,
Somerset Talbot and Wicomico ex-
perienced a fatality free month.
Pedestrian accidents, as usual,
were responsible for the majority of
the fatalities with Is persons killed
compared with II killed in all other
types of accidents. The avoidance
of pedestrian accidents is one traffic
safety thought that should be upper
most in the minds of both drivers
and pedestrians as they always re-
suit in either a personal injury or a
death.
There is approximately another
month and half of extremely haz7
ardous weather facing motorists,
with icy roads, short daylight hours
frequent fog, rain, and snow, and
closed cars, with the danger of car
bon monoxide gas seeping into the
car causing drowsiness. Coupled
with these hazards is one that is in
creasing day by day: that is, the ag-
ing of all cars with no prospects of
requirements in the immediate fu-
ture.
Governor O'Conor and the Mary
land Traffic Safety Commission urge
all drivers and car owners to be
mindful of these hazards and drive
with due respect to them. 1t is also
recommended that frequent inspec-
lions be made of motor vehicle equip
ment and requirements made where
badly worn parts are found. Also
that tires be recapped before the
tread is worn to perfectly smooth
surface which will not permit trac-
ton in starting, driving, or stopping.
The prevention of accidents at this
time is more important than ever
before, as it is the conservation of
manpower and equipment which is
essential to the war effort.
Prevent accidents and buy War
Bonds instead of paying doctor, hos
pital and repair bills.

Anna s. Griffith, Defendant
In the Circuit Court for Cecil County
Equity No. 6O76
The object of this Bill is to secure
a decree divorcing the Complainant
a vinculo matrimonii from the De-
PENDANT
The Bill states that the Complain
ant was married to the Defendant
on the 28th day of January, 1887,
in Elkton, Maryland, with whom he
resided until the 23rd day of June,
1941; that though the conduct of the
Complainant towards the said Anna
S. Griffith has always been kind,
affectionate, and above reproach, the
said Anna S. Griffith, without any
just cause or reason, abandoned and
deserted him and declared her inten-
tion to live with him no longer, and
that such abandonment has continu-
ed uninterruptedly for at least eigh-
teen months, and is deliberate and
final, and the separation beyond any
reasonable expectation of reconcil-
said marriage, a daughter, Betty
Griffith, who is six years of age; that
the Complainant has resided in Cecil
County for more than one year past
before the filing of this Bill, and the
Defendant resides in Quarryville,
Pennsylvania, or elsewhere beyond
the jurisdiction of this Court. The
Bill then ,prays for decree divorcing
the Complainant from the Defendant

other and further relief as his case
may require.

CONSERVE CRITICAL
RESOURCES

There is a dangerous threat to our
war supply of fuel. This means coal,
oil, and gas which the people of this
community can give or deny to our
fighting forces. 1t takes tremendous
amounts of fuel to make war mater
ial and deliver it to distant fighting
fronts. We have only begun to fight
desepite the great raids upon Europe
and the successful landing on Paci-
fic Islands You may have read of a
one-day's air operations when 5000
planes raided Hitler's Europe. That
one-day's operations required over
5000, 900 gallons of gasoline. To
make 5000 planes it takes millions
of pounds of aluminium, steel, and
other materials. The electricity to
make the aluminium alone takes over
100000 tons of coal or 60,000,000
gallons of oil.
1t might be considered that the
problem is one for the fuel and cleo
trio industries, and in that connec-
ton the accomplishments Of those in
dustries have been among the ma
tons outstanding jobs. Fuel re-
sources are strained to the limit by
ever-increasing war needs. That
leaves only one source for additional
supplies, the average American who
uses gasoline, oil, coal, or gas.
If millions of car drivers saved
only one gallon of gas, it would keep
the bombers flying for days. That is
one way Mr.. Average American can
help. Keeping your home tempera-
ture down to IS degrees would mean
another tremendous saving in fuel
One light bulb turned off in your
home can help save critical resources
necessary to victory. A 10 percent
reduction in our use of electricity in
homes throughout the nation would
save 100000 tons of coal year
No sacrifices we Americans at
home make can match those of our
fighting men at the front What we
save-they get. BY saving power and
fuel in our homes and cars, we will
be giving them the power to win a
quicker victory.
Remember-The light you do not
use saves power and! fuel for round
the-clock war goods production.

TRAFFIC. ACCIDENTS IN STATE

There were 1866 traffic accidents
reported in the State of Maryland
during the month of January, 1914,
with 20 persons killed and SIG in
jured. Baltimore City reported SOL
accidents, with 13 killed and 374 in
jured, and the counties reported 365
accidents, with 16 killed and 202 in
jured. This was a decrease of 227
accidents, IL fatalities, and SO in
juries under December. 194S. How
ever, comparing January, 1914, with
January, 1943, we find an increase
of 290 accidents and 176 injuries.
The only favorable comparison was
decrease of three fatalities under

Only two cities outside Baltimore
