Lack Of Care
Causes MANY
Accidents

The biggest factor contributing
to the rising toll of traffic dead is
a public attitude of carelessneess or
indifference. it is pointed out by
the Office of War Information,
which is heading up the activities
OF ~ other government agencies
and of the American Red Cross in
a drive to stop accidents on the
home front. &
Ben Bezoff, Denver, Station Re
lations Regional Chief of the Owl
radio bureau, pointed out that last
year 97,400 Americans were killed
and 10,645, 900 suffered injuries
through accidents. Of these totals,
23,400 fatalities and about 100000
personal injuries were the result of
motor vehicle accidents. The pedes-
trian injury toll for 1943 was
225,OOO.
Among the factors contributing
to the current increase in highway
fatalities are the deterioration of
roads and vehicles, changed pat
terms Of travel resulting from war
time shifts in population and in
places OF employment, and the re-
Taxation of traffic controls due pri-
marily to manpower difficulties in
police department and other agen-
cies.
The biggest factor, however, is
a reckless devil-may-care attitude
engendered by the war" Mr.. Be-
zoff declared. This attitude is man.
lfested every day in more drunken
drivers, in excessive speed on the
road in.less attention to the rules
of safety and in more violations Of
the law"
Pointing to the current twelve
month drive of the IT, S. Depart
ment of Labor's National commit
tee for the conservation of manpoW-
er IN war industries as one of the
many campaigns to stop accidents
on the home front, Mr.. Bezoff en-
phasized the Importance Of exer-
cising care off the job as well as
on the job.
"A traffic accident which Injuries
or kills worker in a war plant
entails as much human suffering
and is just as much a hindrance to
the war efforts as an accident which
occurs on the job he said
The Owl campaign emphasizes
the Importance of the following SIM
pie rules of the road.
!. Observe the speed regulations.
2. Don't mix alcohol and gasoline.
3. Give the right-of-way to the
other fellow.
g. Check periodically the condi-
ton Of your tires.
s. Obey all traffic signals and
signs.
O. Stay on your side of the road.
Z Never pass on a hill or curve.
g. Be prepared to stop at all times
Tor children who may run into the

Promising the finest entertain
ment to yet reach the screen this
year, Paramount's Going My Way"
playing Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day, Feb. 3, S, at the Kootenai

by critics as truly great motion
picture.
reviewers gave many reasons for
their high praise of this heart
warming and tenderly drawn movie
which Bing Crosby plays Father
"Cruek' OMalley. The cast of film
favorites certainly is an outstand-
ing asset for Going My Way Seen
IN splendid Characterization are
Barry Fitzgerald ,as Father Fitz-
gibbon; Rise Stevens, a lifelong
friends of Bing's and now an opera
singer; Frank McHugh as Father
O'Dowd, a school-mate of Crosbys,
Gene Lockhart, cautious banker.
James Brown and Jean Heather.
romantic love couple and Porter
Hall, neighborhood crank.
Many other roles are handled
capably, too it is said, by such
sterling performers as Fortunio b.
nanova, Carl Alfalfa" Switzer and
Stanley "Stash" Clements, pair
OF young rowdies who are convert
ed to gentlemen under Bing's min
istrations, and Ely Malyon. An
altogether delightful story, Going
My Way seems headed for top
Academy Award honors at this

for laurels, too.

HOLLYWOOD.
If you we're a movie producer and
had story that would appeal to
$4,000 prospective customers in
the United States alone, what would
you do?
Produce it, of courseI And that's
exactly what Goth Century Fox is
doing about a script called "The
Shocking Miss Pilgrim"
The canny producer director
writer combination of William Perl
berg and George Seaton is Just
about to launch this box-office- in
sured venture, fashioned to interest
that number of feminine typists
working in business Offices through
out the country.
And with rapidly opening world
markets there's no telling how many
more lady stenos and typewriter
Founders will be intrigued by a
movie based on the origin of their
profession.
This band of a quarter Of a mil
lion necessities to American indus
try, together with an estimated
100000 male typists, bang away to-
day without knowing much about
the typewriter's beginnings. We
take it for granted, as we do most
conveniences. But the history of
the typewriter has SO much humor,
drama and international interest,
Perlberg and Seaton declared after
their research job, that they Won
der why no one ever thought be-
fore of building movie around it.
P. and S. tell us that in 1874, when
the Remington Co. finally achieved
practical tipping machine, they
had nobody who could operate it.
So a unique deal was cooked up
with the Packard Business College
whereby a given number of men
and women would be trained as
typists. They were called type
writer's" in that day.
THE first class of 1S typewriters
graduated from the business college
had 10 men and eight women" said
Seaton. These girls were neces-
sarily of the bold, adventurous type
They were women of character and
initiative. They blazed trail in
the world Of business where no self
respecting woman had yet set foot
Operating typewriter, We dis
covered, was considered such a
strenuous job that it was doubted If
women could stand up to it. They'd
been conditioned to the delicate task
of hand scrubbing the household
linens on the washboard and sweep
ing carpets with corn brooms. So
all female applicants for the class
had to undergo a thorough physical
examination. All but rugged girls
were ruthlessly rejected.
These eight perfect physical
specimens had jobs waiting for
them. Mr.. Remington, who attend
ed their graduation, had them draw
lots. At this point fiction blends
with fact. Betty Cradle, the Miss
Pilgrim Of the story, draws Boston
for Der first job"
Since Boston had slightly sitter
upper lip than many other large
American cities, Seaton tells us
Miss Pilgrims lot was not happy
one. A typewriter" in good old
Boston, was considered a daughter
of Joy. Bostonians countenanced
only nursing and school teaching
for women.
Seaton further mingles fact with
fiction, since research on business
methods of the time revealed the
business Office of the late seventies
to be pigsty.
This place where women never
set foot was Uttered with papers,
ashes and match ends" the writer
director continued. And the GUS
