Delaware Safety Council Urg-
es All Motorists To Be
Watchful For Children
DRIVE WITH CAUTION

The Delaware Safety Council in
cooperation with the National
Safety Councils current Child Ac-
cident Prevention Program urges
all motorist to be doubly watchful
on the streets and highways for
children now going to and from
school. Delaware schools are open
again and literally thousands of
children are using the public thor
oughfares, who, have to a large ex-
tent during the past months con-
fined their activities to sidewalks,
back yards, Fairgrounds, and sum-
mer resorts of various kinds. Dur
ing their vacations they have, to a
considerable extent, forgotten the
hazards of the streets. Then there
are thousands of small children 60
ing to school for the first time who
will need much counsel and assist
ance by their school teachers be-
fore they become fully aware of
the dangers that befall children on
the highways. The Council sug-
gests that every household in Del
aware caution all members of the
family who drive to use the ut
most care this and the subsequent
weeks when our school children
are upon the streets. Every mo-
torist must not only give the nee
essary careful thought to their
driving but must do considerable
thinking for the children. Give
these future citizens a chance to
become adjusted to the conditions
which have been relegated to the
back of their minds during the
past vacation season. Every mo-
torist must bear in mind that he
cannot outguess a child. 1t is the
duty of every motorist to do his
utmost to aid the school author
tiles, the police, parents and the
children themselves in assuring the
youngsters safe passage to and
from school.

Power Men Define Policy
On Farm ElectrificatiOn

, Advocate connections between
lines of companies and cooperatives,.
so that adequate wholesale power
may be purchased by cooperatives
at fair prices; thus making indefen-
sible the use of federal money by
REA and other governmental agen-
cies to build generating plants or
major transmission lines which du-
plicate existing systems;
Join in supporting research work.
preferably through agricultural COL
leges and experiment stations, to,
develop and adapt equipment for
farm operations; cooperate with.
manufacturers in making such equip
ment available; participate in bring
ing to farmers, through agencies such
as the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, factual information of such
equipment; and promote research to
improve rural power service, and to
increase the usefulness of electricity
to the faener."
In releasing the statement of
policy, Grover c. Neff, President
of the Institute, said that about
100000 farms, or three-quarters
of all those occupied, are now
either connected to power lines,
or within one-quarter of a mile
from such lines. Five-eighths of
all farmers are taking electric
service. Electric companies expect
to connect about 100000 additional
farms in the three years, 1916 to-
1948. Cooperatives are expected to
connect another 100000 and other
agencies, about 10000 farms dur
ing this period.
With the completion of the task
of building rural extensions thus
in sight by 1948, a major objective
of the electric companies is to get
electric power efficiently applied
to as many farm jobs as possible,
and thus increase its value to the
farmer. The companies are already
working with state universities
and farm organizations on nu-
merous research projects, and with
other groups in the electrical in
dustry to find increasingly efficient
ways of applying power to farm
operations.

Calls for Rapid Extension OF
Lines and Cooperation With
All Agencies Interested
In Farm Retirement

A statement of policy defining
the attitude of the electric power
industry towards farm electrifica-
ton was released this week by tne
Edison Electric Institute, trade
association of the industry. The
statement sets forth the practices,
which, in the opinion of the electric
companies represented by the In
stitute, will most effectively pro-
mote extension of electric lines to
farms now unserved, and calls for
cooperation of all agencies inter-
ested in increasing the value OF
electric service to the,farmer.
There is a task in farm electrlti-
cation not yet completed" the
statement emphasizes, and, be
cause of its Importance to farmers
directly concerned, and to the ma
tional welfare, the Edison Electric
Institute desires to make clear its
attitude in this connection. Its IN
terest in the matter is indicated by
the fact that electric operating
companies serve at retail about 90
per cent of the connected farms,
and through wholesale contracts
supply a large part of the power
used by the other 40 per cent"
The statement affirms, in brief,
that at is the policy of the Edison
Electric Institute, working through
its members, to:
Promote rapid and efficient exten-
sion of electric lines to farms not now
connected, and increase the number
of users of service along existing
lines;
Foster cooperation between off,
cials of operating companies and
rural cooperatives, for better under
standing of questions arising when
two distribution systems operate in
