The yarn about Anna Lucasta
tells Of family. not necessarily

like most poor families. they need
money SO a scheme IS fghrcd out
by which Anna tHilda Sinmsl is
to marry an Alabama farm boy be-
cause poverty has taken its toll at
the l.ucasta domieile.
When The fraud was Matched
Anna was Working the water
front dives in BROOKLYN on the
7romancc-for-h finance shift Mem
bers Of the family induce her to
return home. against her wishes
OF course. since Anna had slipped
up and made mistake some years
back.
The hoy she's 10 marry, as e
turns out is NOT a dundcrhead and
ihe two actually fall in love at
their first meeting Time marches
on and the wedding day IS draw
ing near Az the proper moment
Anna changes her mind because
she is confronted by her Brooklyn
past
That's only the gIst OF the story,
however Nou must see 81 TO ap-
preeiate What Mr. Gribbie and his
associates have done.
Il Is The first time Broadwayites
say. that an all-Negro cast has
been used TO act like other people

Then the winter increase in the
death rate was "a per cent in the
snow belt states, and per cent in
the South, Sheridan said, and even
that record was not a good one, for
winter accidents are preveHtabfe.
In war as in peace, the super
visor declared, inadequate traction
and reduced visibility are the pri-
mary reasons for winter traffic ac-
cidents, according to the research
by the National Safety Councils
Committee on Winter Driving Haz-
ards.
Detailed studies of accidents dur
ing the month of December, con-
Quoted in two snow belt states,
showed one-fifth of all traffic acct
dents in one state were caused by
skidding, and two-thirds of all ac-
cidents in another, involving per-
sonal injury or property damage,
occurred on icy highways.
The answer is plain, Chief Sher-
idan declared today: Reduce your
speed, never start out during nad
snow or ice conditions without your
anti-skid chains on, and your wind
shield wipers and defroster in per-
feet condition Get them repaired,
and be prepared-noW!"

Warns Against
Careless Winter
Driving

HELENA.-There are over l.
5O0,000 fewer automobiles on the ma
tons highway to provide essential
transportation through the coming
winter than there were this time
last year, Highway Patrol Super
visor Chas. L. Sheridan pointed on,
today in warning drivers to pre-
pare for the nearing months OF
snow and ice. Furthermore he add
ed, While every car still functionlng
is year older, it is more vital to
wartime civilian economy than ever
before.
The annual reminder to drivers
and to city and county highway de-
partments, is being issued this ear
ly, said Chief Sheridan, both be-
cause of this reduction in the coun-
try's irreplaceable stock of auto
mobiles, and because of sharp in
crease in last winters mileage
death rate over the previous winter
Chief Sheridan urged all city
and county highway deparements
to repair snow removal machines,
since new ones are hard to get, and
to attempt to line up labor for
essential snow clearance work SO
essential supplies and workers can
get through.
He called upon all truck fleet
operators and individual car own
ers to take immediate steps for
their own protection this winter.
These, he said, should include
checking the condition of defrost-
er units, anti-skid chains, heaters
and windshield wipers, and provid-
ing adequate anti-freeze. Repairing
and replacing this necessary winter
equipment now, Chief Sheridan
said, will make sure essential We
hicles will get through safely and
on time when snow and ice arrive.
Winter accidents in the SO snow
belt states last winter caused the
mileage death rate to increase SO
per cent over the summer rate in
those states, Sheridan said, while
more than usual snow and ice
south Of the Mason Dixon line
caused jump of "a per cent in
the other IL states. This, he said,
was a tremendous falling off in
safety from the winter of 1942-43
