Beware OF Accidents
During The Holiday

The State Board Of Health joins
the Safety Council this week in
urging the public to have not only
a healthy holiday, but also a safe
one. Accidents don't happen,
they're caused, and unlike many
diseases, can generally be pre-
vented.
In 1947, accidental deaths in the
home led all other causes of acci-
dental deaths both nationally and
in Delaware. The month Of De-
cember, however, during the past
two years, proved to be the worst

"hampering" the chance" of the

and the Blue Hens. Cancellation of
the doubleheader scheduled for
Milford floor this Monday evening,
as a result Of a request for a post
pOnement coming from the Chester
town Legion team, curtailed the pre-
holiday schedule of both Milford
teams, leaving each idle until after
the first of the year.
The local management took every
possible step toward making avail
able plenty of pre-holiday cOmpeti-
ton for the Vets and Hens, but, due
to circumstances beyond its control,
was unable to provide either team
with a full pKe-hOliday playing
schedule. The Vets have had three
games postponed to date, with each
