Traffice Deaths Show
Big Increase For
Winter Months

Though careful driving should he
a habit every month of the wear
caution takes on emergency status
during the winter months when
snow and ice multiply motoring haz-
ards.
This warning is given by experts
of the accident prevention DEPART
ment of the Association of Casualty
and Surety Companies, public serv-
ice organization devoted to reduc-
ton Of life and property losses in
preventable accidents. Their records
show that more Americans die in
automobile accidents in November
and December than in any other
months of the year.
Last November just over 5000
persons were needlessly slain on
our streets and highways and about
$500 were killed in December.
Pedestrian Perilled, Too
Danger months are the same for
pedestrians as drivers, the safety
men point out. Of the 10000 pc
destrians struck down and killed
last year, the largest death scores
were chalked up in the winter
months. The December toll was al
most double that of July.
Several factors contribute to this
winter slaughter, according to Julien
H. Harvey, manager of the depart
ment. Longer nights mean more
driving in darkness, snow and freez-
ing weather make pavements slip
perry, fog, and rain make visibility
poor. heavier clothing makes driving
more difficult.
Stopping Distances Doubled
DRIVERS and pedestrians inclined
to take chances should recall that
about twice the distance is required
to halt car on packed snow as on
a dry pavement" Mr. Harvey said.

.'on suggests the following rules
be followed:
For drivers:
!. Get the "feep' of the road an

have brakes properly adjusted
ana equalized. Apply brakes with a
sentle pumping action on slipper
surfaces.
Use chains when drivino IN

4 Keep windshield wiper and de-
Ifoster IN good mechanical condi-
ton.
Drive slower on snow or slim
perry pavements than YOU think
necessary for absolute safety: ten
miles an hour is frequently the max
mum safe speed.
Always be alert for pedestrians
or Tor children on sleds; remember
that you may be powerless to stop
yoor car in a short distance.
Z Avoid the need for sudden
stops; you may skid.
For pedestrians:
l Look both ways before cross
ing street or highway.
Do not jaywalk. Cross streets
only at designated crossing places.
If walking on the highway
walk toward oncoming traffic and
keep as far to the side of the road
as possible. A skidding car will then
be less likely to strike you, or if
you should slip you will be less like
ly to slide into the path of a car.

Builder of Illinois Town
Is Bio "SmuH Businessmen"

ROBES, ILL. - Starting o m
scratch, Albert L. Robbs, "a, raised
his W community in the Southern
Illinois hill country.
The town of AS inhabitants is
known as Robbs.
Robbs is the postmaster, and he
owns and operates a lumber yard.
He has a saw mill and store.
Almost every resident of Robbs
depends on its founder for a job.
Children attend a two-year high
school which Robbs built.
This backwoods promoter is really
a big small businessman" He
buys, sells, or trades anything. He
usually makes a profit, and he is
known as a square shooter"
Robbs began his village by build
ing a structure to house his motor
agency and a dwelling for himself.
AS other persons came he built more
homes, until now he owns all but 2
or 3 of the As dwellings in the COM
munity. He owns more than 1900
acreS of land.
When the Illinois Central railroad
decided to tap the area, Robbs re-
calls he swung enough weight to
bring the tracks nearer his town.
The original contractor failed, so he
put up a $4,000 deposit and fin
ished. the job himself with a neat

Colleges Need
Five Billions
For BUILDINGS

WASHINGTON.-Colleges in the
United States will require at least
five billion dollars worth of new
buildings by 1850 in order to meet
the expected demand for school en-
rollment.
This appraisal of school housing
needs was released by the U. S.
office of education on the heels of a
census bureau survey showing that
the college-age population will hit
$500, 900 by 1857.
To house this expanding school
population, the government esti-
mated the United States will need
an increase in its school plant
equivalent to 1873 Empire state and
rs Pentagon buildings.
Numerically, the education office
said, this would mean an increase
of Is per cent in the present space.
That's what would be needed to
allow for over one million more stu
dents than pre-war facilities accom-
modated.
War Causes Demand
DR.. Ernest V. Hollis, chief of the
veterans facilities program, who
prepared the study, said the ire
mendous demand for more educa-
tional housing was brought about
largely by the great postwar influx
of veterans.
college plants built for a pre-war
peak gross enrolment of 1,500, 900
students were in the fall of 1947
accommodating in some fashion a
total of 2,340, 900 Students" he said,
land college officials expect a gross
enrolment of 2,675, 900 students by
$780,"
The booming enrolment, DR..
Hollis pointed out, has intensified
the shortage growing out of the war.
And the shortage has become still
more acute due to the necessity for.
new programs required in the edu-
cation of veterans.
Last year, he estimated, colleges
had approximately 40 per cent less
educational and residential space
per full-time student than they had
in 1910, the pre-war peak of enroll
ment.
Occupy Residents
The survey indicated that approx
mately one-third of the total build
ing space available to colleges last
year was in the form of residential
housing occupied by staff members
and veterans and their families.
Currently, colleges reported that
they needed 95 million square feet
of additional residential housing,
which is about 80 per cent more than
their present residential space.
What schools will do by 1860,
when the enrolment for higher
is expected to reach a
peak of 1890, 900 students, is any
guess, DR.. Hollis said.
"The $64 question:" he added, "is
how colleges will get the five billion
dollars required for new buildings.
one is at all sure that taxpayers
and philanthropists together will by
1850 or even 1860 be willing to add
to present commitments enough
funds to total five billion dollars"
