What Does Octagonal
Traffic Sign Mean?
Better Find Out!

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Motorists
wise, colored and white, should
use their eyes. But not all of
them do, the National Safety
Council said this week, and as a
result there are a lot of accidents
from failure to heed traffic signs
and signals.
The council is making a special
effort this month to call the ma
TONS attention to the Importance
of highway markings with a
"Signs of Life" educational pro-
gram. State and city officials and
other interested agencies of all
racial groups are cooperating.
Warns of Danger
"Signs of signals are among
the biggest helps to safe driving"
said Ned H. Dearborn, president
of the council. "They give drivers
warning of the dangers hat lie
ahead. But they are worthless IN
less they are seen and obeyed. 1t
is only when signs are needed
that they really become Signs of
Life"
The council said the safe driv-
err, regardless of his race, will fol-
low these sign posts:
/. Give signs, signals and mark
ings the same respect you would
a traffic officer. Here's one place
you may lose if you cheat.
2. Reduce speed and be on
guard when 20 see a diamond
shaped sign (this shape carries
a warning) or a round sign (this
signifies a railroad crossing is
ahead).
3. Come to a complete stop at
and eight sided or octagonal sign.
This shape means only one thin
Stop!
4. Know what an obling signs
says. This shape carries regula-
tory messages such as speed limit.
5. Heed the croos-buck sign at
railroad crossings. If there is a

Satchel uuas the Answer of list and 18th Place
What's New In Sports?
BY Jimmie N. Jones

The ancient and reliable Satchel
Paige more than proved his worth
to the Cleveland Indians when he
won his first starting assignment
against the Washington Senators
and won a 5 to 3 victory, striking
out six and scattering W. hits
along the seven inning route.
The chance "Old Satch" had
been waiting for, came Sunday
after the Indians had won their
twin ball from the Boston Red
Sox when Lou Boudreau was re-
Taxing in his club house office
and wondering who to send
againts the Senators Wednesday
night.
It was the question of IFS"
with the Indian boss. If the In
dams lost the first game it would
mean a drop to 4th place in the
pennant chase, but if they won,
it would mean the top rung, again
if the lowly White Sox could mock
off the Philadelphia Athletics, so
much for the CTS"
The next question was: who

Do you think girls should go
to college, even though they mar
ry before or after they finish col
lege? Is it a waste of time or
money?
Opinions have been given by
the following people.
Mrs. Jack Hart: Girls should go
to college. They are able to make
more contacts with people from
different places. When a girl is
in college she is usually going
through the period of growing up,
and when she does marry she will
be settled. No it's not a waste of
money or time.
Mrs. Elizabeth Finch: Girls
should attend college if it's only a
year. It's time and money, that is
true, but education is something
that cannot be taken from you.
A college girl should marry, she
is not sent to college not to marry,
but to become a helpful and bet
ter citizen.
Mrs. Crotch: A girl should go to
college. When she marries she is
a help to her husband and chill
dren, and more of a background
for them. Most men and children
without the aid of an educated
women would progress slowly.
James Robinson: Sure girls
should go to college. Some people
think that you 60 to college just
for a career to make money, but
culture is received also, and that
is an important thing. Even tho
the girl does marry its not a waste
of time or money. And the girl
is usually a helpful and good
citizen.

lected from the young people of
highest caliber-only the best r
good enough to teach. 3. Class
room teachers must be inventive,
and new educational practices
must be diffused faster than at
present. 4. Education must have
local significance. 1t must grow
out of a careful analysis of where
and how a child lives and the sit
uation into which he will progress
upon leaving school. 5. Even tho
federal aid to education is desir-
able, control of education must
always remain a local affair-in
the hands of the people them
selves. 6. School superintendent
themselves must provide leader
ship in bringing about a working
relationship between people and
their schools-"as school men and
laymen work side by side to es-
tablish better schools, equal to
the challenge of our times not
only shall we get better schools
and communities, but we shall be-
come better people in the pro-
cess"

can we send out there to take the
hill against the Senators? Boud-
reau and his "board of strategy
came to a decision and that was to
send "Ole Satch" out on the
mound for the first time in his
career against a major league
club.
So it came to pass, that Satch
did go out there and he did win
his first assignment and he did
bring the Indians back to the top

 Please accept the best wishes of an old man in your coming cele- bration. Hoping the boys will whoop 1t up and a good time will be had by all Your sincere we'll wisher, R. w Service"
