SAFETY LECTURE
New York Central Man
Addresses Pupils Wednesday

The New York Central system,
through its Safety department is
conducting a program designed to
prevent or reduce accidents in
which the railroads and the pu-
blic are mutually concerned. A re-
preventative from the Safety de-
partment is appearing in the
schools and before service clubs
seeking their cooperation in this
cause. Local officials of the rail
road, as well as various public a.
gencies are cooperating.
1t is the intention to continue
this program until all towns and
cities on the Central lines are COW
cred.
In speaking before the Marys-
vile High School Wednesday, c.
E. Bell, assistant to general safety
agent, stressed the need for great
er safety on the highways and
particularly at grade crossings. He
said that the railroads have made
great progress in reducing deaths
and injuries resulting from acci-
dent to their employees due large
ly to the execution of a Well-plan-
ned program emphasizing eduCa-
tion and rule enforcement plus
cooperation between employer and
emplOye. He stated that the rail-
roads are Vitally concerned in the
prevention of accidents at grade
crossings but emphasized the fact
that to succeed in this undertaking
will require close cooperation be-
tween railroads and tn public.
THE remedy lies in education
and law enforcement. While it is
true from d check we made some
time ago-that only 5 per cent of
the motor drivers are careless or
reckless, yet this represents a large
army of more than I& million driv-
erS whose actions we are seeking
to curb Therefore, we earnestly
Al &c lll1I OH VI SCllllLoIAOliS anu q
gencies unite in a common cause
the saving of human life-through
the elimination of these unneces-
sary accidents which can be al
most entirely accomplished if mo-
tor drivers will follow these simple
rules:
l. Approach all rail-highWay
crossings with your vehicle under
control, prepared to stop if neces-
sary.
2. Look and listen. If the view is
obsCured, use extra precautionary
measures. Know the way is clear
before attempting to pass over the
crossing.
3. Obey the traffic rules and eau
ton others to do so.
Support public enforcement a.
gencies in their campaign for safe
driving on the highway and at
grade crossings"

Mr.. Dutton was up all night long
keeping smudge pots going among
the peach trees, and believes he
may have saved a considerable pOr-

! The apple crop, on the other
hand, may not have been hit sc

kBoo) FERRIS suffered his first
pitching defeat in IL starts today
as the Chicago White Sox edged
Boston's Red Sox rs, for the Red
Sox' third straight setback and
their longest losing streak of the
season.
The White Sox, blasting FERRIS
from the mound with four runs in
the third inning, benefited from
some able relief work by Bill Diet
rich in the ninth to grab their fifth
straight win.
The Red Sox drove Starter Joe
Haynes from the mound during a
13-hit attack which included Bobby
Doerr's eighth homer, and chased
Ralph Hammer to the showers in
the ninth to pick up their sixth
marker.
Dietrich, however, came in with
one out and proceeded to smother
the Bostonians without further
damage to save the triumph for
Haynes.
Ferriss, who yielded six hits be-
fore he quit in the third, was vic
Hrnized particularly by Outfielder
Whitley Plat, who belted across
three runs to raise his rbi total in
two DAYS running to nine.
Ted Williams paced Boston's in
effective attack with three-for-
four, including two singles and a
