WHAT'S IN YOUR NAME3
Whats in a name 20

Shakespeare is credited with having
first asked that question, but likely it was
propounded many centuries before he was
born.
The question may be answered In
many ways, but the best answer is that the
only thing of value in a name is what its
owner puts into it.
The matter of names came to mind as
a result of the signing of refunding bonds
of the City Electric System by County Clerk
Ross c. Sawyer, Mayor w. w. Demeritt
and City Clerk Roy Hamlin.
Mr.. Sawyer signed his name. to 1,483
bonds i'm two hours and As minutes; Mr..
Hamlin. three hours and 80 minutes, while
it required Mayor Demeritt eight hours to
attach his signature.
He began to sign at 10 o'clock in the
morning, and stayed at the desk eight con-
tinuous hours. He was working against
time, and did not stop to eat luncheon.
Why did he take so much longer to
sign than either Mr.. Sawyer or Mr.. Ham,
lin? The answer is easy to find.
William Mckinley, when he became
president in 1897, signed government
documents with his given name in full. A
few months after he was in office, he cut
down the William to VIM, with two dots
under the VIM. When he had been serving
for little more than year, his signature
had been reduced to w. Mckinley
Whether or not he used a periodgafter the
w, the story about his changing his sigma
ture did not explain.
T" Stephen Grover Cleveland. W Elm
mayor Of Buffalo, n Y, used his full
name. but, when he became President. he
discarded the Stephen.
1t required eight hours for Mayor
Demeritt to attach his signature to the
l,483 bonds because he signed his name
VIM. w. Demeritt, using periods in each
case, putting two dots under the VIM, and
crossing the It's with backward and for
ward flourish.
Thus, there is more than one answer
TO the question. whats in name?" and
one of them is the time you take in sign
ing it, which is very inconvenient if the
name is long and you sign it often.

The shipment will be distributed to
children under eighteen years of age, with

UNSAFE ACTS
PREVENTABLE
Violations of Safe Practices
Are Result of Lack of
Understanding
SAFETY OBLIGATIONS

The violations of safe practices
which cause accidents in the home,
in traffic, at play, and on the job
are largely the result of a lack of
understanding of the full conse-
quence of unsafe acts. The Della
ware Safety Council believes that
the common popular criticism
which blames accidents on plain
carelessness or plain cussedness
can be coupled with lack of un-
derstanding of uniform and safe
practices, as well as lack of ad-
herence to uniform and safe prac-
tices. This is especially true of
traffic accidents. Lack of under
standing of safe practices and lack
of uniform adherence to known
rules has demonstrated to be the
underlying cause of accidents in
both our urban and suburban areas.
Many states have successfully re-
duced their rate of accidents by
wide dissemination of information
about safe practices thru individual
citizens or groups of citizens. The
Safety Council believes that we in
the State of Delaware can do as
well in reducing traffic accidents,
home accidents, and other public
accidents. The Council urges that
we as individuals or groups are OBJ
ligated to our family and our COM
munity to encourage our fellow cit
izens to live safely. Accidents can
be reduced-do your part to help
reduce them by Saying A Word
for Safety"
