West Side Must Help
Reduce Traffic Fatalities

Traffic fatalities in Dayton are
still far above what they should
be for a city this size. In the four
city safety contest between Day.
ton, Toledo, Akron and Omaha,
only Toledo ranks below Dayton.
Thus far this year Dayton has had
II traffic fatalities, Toledo has
10. All the other cities are lower.
We on the west section of Day.
ton should bend every effort to
reduce the rate of deaths via the
traffic route. This means both
drivers and pedestrians must CO.
operate in this important en-
deavor.
There is a tendency several
times expressed in novels and ar
ticles about the psychology of the
average Negro driver. Itisnottrue
that speeding is limited to Ne
groes alone. Some of the best and
most careful drivers are to be
found among the Negro people.
But it is true that there are
many Negroes to whom speeding
satisfies some repression. The re-
preston to be sure has it's roots
in racial and economic discrimina-
ton. Witness the large number Of
speeding cars on West Fifth street
one of TIE most perilous streets
to drive on in the city. (Here
again the racial factor enters, for
1T is the deliberate intention of
city officials to take care Of the
repaving of the streets in the Ne
groghetto last).
In addition to speeding, drivers

are inclined to drive while intoXi-
Gated. This slows down the re-
flexes and makes it more diff
cult for drivers in an emergency
to get out safely.
AS pedestrians, the same thing
applies as far as intoxication is
concerned. How many pedestrians
have beenseen crossing streets en-
tirely unaware of approaching We
hicles. This places an added bur-
den on the driver, for it has new
er been the case yet where a
pedestrian injured a car.
The cooperation of the entire
community is needed to reduce the
rate of traffic fatalities in Dayton.
While on the subject, don't for
get that July 4th weekend will
be the last weekend in life for
some 400 to 600 persons in the
United States. That many will die
on the highways. Drive Safely at
All Times. Drive Cauticiously at
All Times.

Divine S Threats Fail to
Stop Magazines
Expose Story

NEW YORK, June %. (ANP)
Despite the mounting pressure
from followers of Father Divine
and even a threat from the relig-
ious leader himself that he was
"doomed to destruction" Publish
er OHM Davis of Our World mag
azine announced last week that
he wouldn't suppress an expose
article of the Divine kingdom in
the August issue of his publica-
ton.
Davis said that never in the
history Of the four years that
he's been publishing the magazine
has such pressure been brought
to bear on him in the way Of
phone calls and letters. Last Sun
day at Divine's peace mission in
Harlem he was summoned to talk
with the bald-headed cult leader,
at the latter's request, and during
the two hour discussion Divine
kept making indirect threats on
Davis life and visualized all sorts
of r~etribution if the magazine hit
the stands with the story.

Closets Should Be Decorative,

Of all manner and description tum-
BILE out at you? Do you have to push
punches of clothing and shoes out Of
the way in a mad scramble to find
what you want?

the sheer pleasure of looking at its
beauty and efficiency? Yes, closets
can be that way if you'll review
them as a problem and outline a
solution.
Most closets are not nearly large
enough and that is very real
problem. If you can't do the nee
essary carpentry to make them
larger, there may still be a way
to solve the storage problem.
Small closets in old-fashioned
houses are often very high, and it
may be possible to build a few
more shelves on top of the only
one you have. This would certainly
take care of several large storage
boxes to help get things off the
floor.

KATHLEEN NORRIS
Return TO Prayer
Bell Syndicate-wNU Features.
By KATHLEEN NORRIS

NEW YEARS EVE seems
IN a good time to talk again
about Betty Mccoy. Betty Nc
Coy's trouble was that she
couldn't find God; she just
didn't believe. 1t all seemed
pretty enough to her - the
churches and the prayers-but
not convincing.
Not in years have I had as many
letters in answer to any article as
I had to that one. Hundreds of wom-
en- and a few men, several clergy
men and priests and lecturers,
from places in my own town and
from Canada and Australia, wrote
me their own experiences in this
most delicate and personal of all
adventures.
And some 20 persons, including a
college dean and two college in
structors, assured me scornfully
that there is no God. The contrast
between the believers eager, help
full letters and the discomfort of the
teachers was marked. The latter
not only didn't believe but they
resented anyone's believing.
In the mass of these letters more
than a few were directed to the
Betty Mccoy who had written me
from Salt Lake City" One fine
woman wanted to meet Betty, to
befriend her, to try to interest her
in church and church work. The
difficulty of this situation was that
the name of the writer of the orig
inal letter was not Betty Mccoy,
nor was her town Salt Lake City.
Spiritual Hunger
In all my 20 years of writing
these little talks, I never have
used a real name nor described a
situation so closely that anyone
could be embarrassed by being
recognized. 1t is the human value
of the story that I try to preserve,
very often by exact quotations from
actual letters.
Well, anyway, l sent a dozen let
tiers on to the real Betty and she
may have answered some of them
by this time. Her great hunger was
for something more than just the

everyday material of life-the wax
ing and sleeping, eating and work.
ing, washing dishes and washing
clothes.
Isn't there something, Betty de-
manded, that lifts life out of the
commonplace. puts light behind
the drab realities that all of US
have to face?
Yes, all of US. Rich and poor,
young and old, life presents US all
with dreadful hours. We push them
into the background, but they come
back again. Sometimes they come
in the dark wakeful stretches of
the night, sometimes while one is
sitting YEARLY in an odorous lunch
room, sometimes in a market
when sweet. weary woman with
an anxious face, eyes the meats
and the bread and fingers few
folded bills.
In those hours a sort of terror
may take hold of one. What's it
all about? Why isn't life easier?
Why is even childhood checkered
with humilations and disappoint-
ments and despairs? Why is the
short sweet deceptive time of youth
and love and mating so blind and
so brief, SO soon encroached upon
by establishment and tedium?
Courage for Middle-Age
AS for middle-age it takes super
natural courage to get through it.
Fatigues, failures, gray hair, bald
ness, headaches, losses, dental re-
placements, hearing aids, indiges-
ton, corns-isn't it a frightful sum-
mary of ills! To some persons, that
is. To others it is the pleasantest
time yet.
A week ago the astounding Baby
was born in our hearts again. New
Years is a good time to determine
to keep Him there. New Years is
a time to slip into some dark
church and get started toward that
! comfortable philosophy that will
convince us that life is privilege,
that the old world is a good place
in which to be and that familiar
delights are in reach of us ala

The closet should consist only of
the things you are using daily. This
prevents clutter.
Get your shoes out of the way by
placing them on rack or in shoe
bags. Use a certain filing system
even in this: put shoes back in the
same place so you know exactly
where to 60 to get them.
Sometimes the inside of the door
may be used for a shoe bag. If you
can't find one of the right size,
they're easy to make to fit the door.
Special hangers are made for
suits, trousers, skirts and ties. These
are often a good investment because
they are especially designed to keep
things at their best. Place them at
one end of the closet so you'll know
where things like that are. It's also
easy to keep special hangers all to-
gether rather than have them clut-
tering space in-between regular
hangers.
Decorate Closets
As You Do Rooms
Closets are no longer painted an
unobtrusive neutral color. Neither
are they dark or lacking in design.
We now see them in gay pastels,
matching or contrasting with the
room, and with matching Access
Sories.
If your room is in a plaid, the
closet will be smart if the walls
are painted in one of the colors
of the plaid. Then all the boxes
which you are using for storage in
the closet may be covered with the
same plaid paper that you are u.s.
ing in the room. Or. you might use
plastic boxes and trim them with
the plaid used in the room.
Another idea for trimming might
be to use the same material on the
boxes as you have used on the
Grapes or spread in the bedroom
In this way you can make the closet
a unit with the room itself.
Closets that contrast with the
room are also effective. Select one
of the colors in the room for the
walls of the closet and let the boxes
harmonic with that.
If the room is any shade of pink,
for example, you might use a pink
and white candy stripe in the walls,
and blue or green for the ceiling
The boxes may be plain pink or
they may be blue to match the
ceiling.
If you do not want to 60 into any
such detail, make an edging for the
shelves out of fabric or material
that will match or contrast with the
room. This same fabric might be
used as edging for the boxes.
Cover Storage Boxes
Neatly. Carefully
If you are covering boxes at home
with either a wallpaper or a fabric,
it must be done carefully so the
boxes don't look shabby within a
short time.
Start with plenty OF material or
paper so there need be no piecing.
Fit each piece on carefully and
leave enough so that paper or fabric
will come well within the inside of
the box. Paste or glue the ends. or
use scotch tape to secure them.
Special care will have to be taken
when you work with plaids or stripes
SO that these will run carefully and
according to design. There must be
no pecing.
Fabrics are, of course, more
durable for covering if you can use
them. They offer less difficulty. too,
since they are more pliable.
Use only durable, well constructed
boxes which have no flaws In them.
Fit them into the closet first, SO
that you know they'll At. Labels
placed on them, after covering, will
also be more helpful in aiding you
to find what you want.
