Elgin Warns
Motorists OF
Increased Speed
Condition Of Cars-Speed-
ing And Reckless Driving
A Menace To Safety

"Now that gasoline rationing
has been stopped, traffic over
Maryland's highways may be
greater than ever" said w. Lee
Elgin, Commissioner of Motor We
hicles. "Unless motorists realize
seriously the dangers of speeding
and reckless driving, accident tolls
will begin to climb to an all-time
high record" "We cannot lose
sight of the fact that the depreci-
ated conditions of the greater per-
centage of our motor vehicles, as
well as the tempo of time, can
bring about a disturbing highway
traffic accident problem" continu-
ed Mr.. Elgin.
1T is up to the motorist to take
all OF these things into serious
consideration and determine in his
own mind that he is charged with
the responsibility of not alone
protecting his life and property,
but that of others"
'Law enforcement officers
throughout the State will put
forth greater effort now to curb
violations and bring offenders in
to court to account for their in
difference to abiding by safety
regulations"
Members of our Armed Forces
throughout the world are greatly
concerned over the welfare Of
their folks back home" added Mr..
Elgin. They would be greatly
shocked to hear that one of their
loved ones met with traffic ac-
cident, that through vigilance
could have been avoided. We here
at homc must not bring any I'M
nessysary grief to those heroes,
who have won Peace and Liberty
for u.s."

Red Cross To Handle
Messages To Internees

Messages to United States and
Allied Nations prisoners of war
and internees in the Far East are
now being accepted by all Am
erican Red Cross chapters for
transmittal and delivery to those
liberated in the Forthcoming opera
tions.
Only one message may be sent
to any one person by the officially
designated next of kin. Business
and financial matters should not be
mentioned, in the messages. One
snapshot may be sent with each
message. Words must be confined
to the space on the single form
provided by the Red Cross Chapter.
Both sides of the form may be
used. Since mail intended for per-
sons held by the japanese in the
Far East now takes from six to
nine months to arrive, the AM
erican Red Cross urges all next of
kin to make use of this special
service so that persons liberated
from the camps will receive recent
news from their families. The
majority vitality need the lift the
message from home can give.
While the Red Cross cannot
guarantee the delivery every. effort
will be made by field directors as
fast as camps in and north of
Hong Kong are liberated. The
British Red Cross serves the area
in the South.
