yival of the human personality
after death. 1t will be, he said, the
first really scientific study of the
problem ever conducted.
When he first entered the field of
,parapsychology (Which means a
study going beyond normal psyche
logy) there was great popular in
terest in the subject of spiritualism,
mediums and the general question
Of life after death, DR.. Rhine said.
Today, however, that interest is al
most nonexistent.
Seeks Scientific Answers.
DR.. Rhine plans to revive it, be-
cause he feels that the questions
asked in the earlier period never
have been answered satisfactorily.
The methods of investigation used
by such figures as Sir Oliver Lodge
and Arthur Conan Doyle were not
sufficiently scientific to satisfy a
modern scientist.
Modern advances of psychology
make an investigation of the sub
ject more promising. DR.. Rhine feels.
In addition to this, his own investi-
cations into the fields of extrasensory
perception, foreknowledge and the
control of mind over matter have
provided something of a solid basis,
which was lacking to earlier investi-
gators, he says.
Although he has been dabbling in
the subject of spiritual phenomena
for years, the start of any serious
investigation depends on public in
terest to the extent Of financing
such a project, DR.. Rhine comedies.
His projected plan would involve an
intense study under scientific con-
ditions of any reports Of unusual
phenomena which might indicate
nonphysical activity.
Involves Expeditions.
In line with this, expeditions

proposition that man is dual
personality, with a body and soul.
They are based on faith in that
belief. However, we cannot con-
tinue our institutions on faith when
we are educating our most intelh-
gent young men into a different
view"
Proof or disproof of the immor-
tality of the soul would lead to a
far deeper understanding of the
nature of the human being, DR..
Rhine contended. If it we're proved,
it would lend substance to a faith
which is now empty; If disproved
it would provide a basis on which
our civilization might be modified to
square with the facts, he said.

Safety Council Notes

Have you planned your Labor
Day weekend trip? Since it is a
double holiday, many of you are no
doubt planning to take advantage of
the extra day for a trip somewhere.
But just keep in mind that thOus-
ands upon thousands of others are
planning the same thing. For that
reason these double holidays are
dangerous driving days.
The wise driver will recognize
that all these conditions present ex-
ira traffic hazards and he will pre-
pare for them. The Delaware Safety
Council suggests that you take a
lew minutes right now to plan your
trip carefully. See that your car is
IN good condition before you start
out. The safe drivers car has per-
feet brakes, perfect lights, clean
rear view mirrors, properly work
ing windshield wiper, and workable
horn. Plan to get an early start so
that you won't have to indulge in
any needless haste. And plan an
early start home so that you won't
get in the last-minute traffic Jams
that are sure to exist.
Also, to avoid double holiday
trouble when you are behind the
wheel, the Delaware Safety Council
urges you to keep in mind the
-four C's' of traffic safety. They are
courtesy, consideration, common
sense and cooperation. Broken
down they mean: Do not pass a car
on the road unless you are positive
ly sure it is safe.
Do not OverdO your speed limit.
Dim your headlights when ap-
preaching or passing another car.
Keep a safe distance from the car
ahead.
Obey traffic laws implicitly.
Observe and be guided by traffic
signs.
Recognize the rights of other mo-
torists and pedestrians.
And keep constant watch.
Remember-safety is achieved at
any price, but it only costs you a
thought Don't rush it's better to
kill time than people. The life you
save may be your own.

temporary storage on farms. Actions
by farmers to provide permanent
storage for their grain also is
urged, since grain stored on farms
is a stabilizing factor in supporting
prices. More farm storage means
that farmers will be able to spread
marketing over the year instead of
overtaxing marketing facilities at
harvest time.
