VoU MAY NOT REALIZE 1T, but in the first seven
l. months of this year, 1920 people were killed
in highway accidents, and $4,000 were injured
many Of them critically.
Why?
One big reason is that the average car on the
road today is over eight gears old.
Naturally, overage cars are apt to develop
mechanical defects defects of which you may
be unaware, but which can lead to smash-ups like
those you see above.
That's why you should have your car checked

haven't been. Therefore, it's extremely important
for both motorists and pedestrians to be careful to
keep alert, and to obey traffic laws to the letter.

opened there last evening.
The three-act play is a presen-
tation by the Workshop Group OF
the ITALIAN Association. This group
is-by intent-a training group for
the Association neophytes, and
for folks a little too shy for full
dress play acting.
Polish and Pace
But more than one hardened
play-goer was agreeably surpris-
ed to see a production that had a
polish, pace, and professional air
about it that demands the respect
of any producing group. The neo-
phytes have graduated, and the
old hands had better look sharp.
1t would be more accurate to say
that the association has second
full-fledged theatrical company in
its ranks.
The play was directed by Hester
c. Donnelly and Elizabeth Hard
wicke. And while Miss Donnelly
gave an eye to technical matters,
Miss Hardwicke took one of those
Billie Burke-type parts in the
show and played it beautifully.
Billy Land, well known to ITALIAN
audiences, added further lustre to
his reputation by portrayal of a
rustic constable. Andrew johnson,
too, kept up his batting average in

In addition to the county funds,

This revenue will come from the

is using the field, profits from

which would prevent the college

MEAT SHORTAGES

President OF Wilmington
Grocers Blames Black
Market

''The people, customers of the
food industry, must be awakened
to the situation existing in the
clearinghouse industry" ]. C
Parker, president Of the Whining
ton Retail Grocers Association, u
said last night.
Parker's statement came shortly
after his arrival here from an 300.
mile tour of this state and Virginia
where he sought to find the trouble
surrounding the ever-increasing
meat shortage in the area.

eve want to bring pressure to
bear on our congressman, to cause
an investigation of black market
operations, causing the present
meat shortage" the president said.
''In order that this may be ac-
hieved, the people must wake up
and act," Parker said.
Sky-High Prices
The local official, cautious as to
his statements for the local organi-
cation, said that beef on the hoof
is bringing "sky-high prices
making it impossible for the small
slaughtering houses to buy the
cattle, and process the beef at a
price reasonable to the consumer.
"Give local small slaughterers a
chance" was another theme cham
pioned by Parker, who said "they
have been the sole source OF our
meat supply for some years, and
we have been unable to get any
considerable amount recently"
Propaganda
He said that the cry that ''beef
is going overseas, is mostly pro
paganda", and the livestock grow
er does not know the conditions
under which his cattle are being
marketed.
The farmer, he said, does not
expect the high prices being paid
by some slaughtering houses, and
they naturally take all they can
get for their livestock
There would still be plenty of
meat in the country, if the live
stock went through the proper
marketing channels the president
said.
Under present conditions, the
black market seems to be getting
the majority of the beef Parker
said.
