Labor Secretary Tobin praised
Red Cross activities with the mill

employees that those conditions

pealed to the Government workers
to help arrest that decline"

Safety Council Urges
Care In Walking

Play 1t safe!
When you are walking, says the
Delaware Safety Council, be fair
to yourself obey the rules of the
game. If you should be struck by
u car, it won't ease your suffering
to blame someone else. You know
the rules-but it may be to your
advantage to check up on how you
observe them.
/. Obey the red traffic light or
Don't Walk" signal. 1t indicates
that it is not your turn to cross the
street
2. Observe traffic. Make sure the.
way ahead is clear and that YOU
don't step into the path of car
turning the corner or one beat
ing the light"
8. Cross streets only at intersec-
tions or marked crosswalks. Motor
lists don't expect to meet pedes-
trians in the middle of a block; why
rely on their ability to see you in
time?
4. Make sure you have clear
view of the street When you step
out in front of halted bus or park
ed car, you are taking the chance
that an oncoming motorist will not
see you in time to stop
5. Cross one street at time
When you walk diagonally across
an intersection you have a hard jol
watching all traffic at once.
6. Walk on the left side of tn,
road. When walking along a roal
where there are no sidewalks, keel
to your left, SO that you can clear
ly seel all approaching traffic.

an average of 33 pedestrians ar
