There was still no definite fur ther information on the Margaret Toloff murder at press-time this week. The action of the grand jury on Monday, which returned a se- cret indictment of first-degree mur der against person not yet ar rested, led to some conjecture that there might be a break in the case soon. However there was no an- nouncement of new developments by noon yesterday.

Asks Pedestrians
To Save Own Lives

Emphasizing that it is the indi-
vidual's responsibility to look out
for his own safety in traffic, Jack
Shelter, chief of police, reminded
motorists and pedestrians that
"your life is in your hands"
"No one" he added, "would re-
fuse to save a life if it were with
in his power. Each individual can
and should help prevent injuries
and loss of lives in traffic acci-
dents"
When driving the individual
should observe the written traffic
laws and the unwritten laws of
eommonsense. Moreover, it is par
ticularly important to be constant
ly alert at the wheel and to re-
member that courtesy and consid-
Grafton for others is the primary
rule of safety.
Drivers, of course, should show
every consideration to pedestrians.
Persons on foot are more or less
at the mercy of motorists when
crossing highways or streets.
But pedestrians should also show
consideration for drivers. 1t takes
a lot more time and space to stop
when driving than when you are
walking.
SO when you are a pedestrian
give the drivers a break. Observe
the traffic signs and signals and,
above all, don't jaywalk.
"As a motorist or pedestrian"
said Chief Shelter, "it's worth your
life to be careful. The Life You
Save May Be Your Own"

Women Drivers Get
Nod Over The Men

COLUMBUS-The ladies have
a shade the best of it in a study
of the question of women versus
men in traffic accidents made by
the Ohio Highway Departments
Division of Traffic and Safety,
State Highway Director T. j.
Kauer announced today.
The study was based on the ac-
cident experience of men and
women drivers involved in traffic
accidents on the rural state high
way system during 1947.
Director Kauer made it clear
that the study was not final in
determining whether males or
females are the safer drivers.
"The question needs much fur
ther study" he said. $50 many
variables-the most important Of
which are the ratio Of male to fe-
male drivers, the number of miles
driven by each sex-enter into
the problem as to make almost
impossible the determining which
sex is the safer in driving"
In 1910 accidents on rural
state roads during 1947 involving
collisions of two vehicles-one
driver a male, the other a fe-
male-57 per cent of the women
were reported in violation as
compared to 81 per cent of the
men.
The most frequent violation for
men was excessive speed-too
fast for conditions or over the
legal limit. These speeding vio-
lations were reported for II per
cent of the men and 10 per cent
of the women.
Driving over the centerline or
"on wrong side of the road" was

Multiflora Rose
Popular In State

Game officials Of the Ohio Di-
vision of Conservation have made
such widespread use of the multi
flora rose as food and cover for
wildlife on farm lands in recent
years and thereby increased the
demand to the point of coming up
short themselves for future nurs-
cry stock.
The demand for the popular
multifora rose for farm planting
has almost exhausted nursery
supplies in the past three years.
The multifora rose is one of
the principal plants used on the
Divisions WiIdlife Habitat De-
velopment areas providing food
and cover for many species of
wildlife throughout the year.
Nursery stock purchased by the
Division this year for planting is
now being distributed to the seven
conservation districts but in most
cases allotments will be short. 1t
is for this reason that the Divi-
sion this year was not able to Of
fer to farmers and landowners

distributed for general planting.

VACATIONLAND men HEAR PLANS
TO PRESERVE INSCRIPTION ROCK

Making the trip in boat fur
nished by William Brown, Lake
side, members of the Lake Erie
Islands and Peninsula Vacation
land Assn were guests of the Kel-
leys Island Commerce Club at a
dinner meeting held at the island
Tuesday evening.
Father Haley, Kelleys Island,
and Carl Heckler, Vacationland
president, conducted the meeting.
After the business session, the
group was informed of current
area problems by several state and
national authorities.
Richard Fatig, curator of state
memorials of the Ohio State Ar
chaeological and Historical Society
and DR.. August MARI, consultant
for the society, told of their con-
templated plans and experimental
work conducted to preserve and
better display Kelleys Islands
two priceless landmarks, the In
scription Rock and the Glacial
Groves.
Mr.. Fatig advised that his So
ciety did not advocate the erection
of any shelter over these memori-
ais because they would detract
from their natural picturesque and
historical significance.
He told of an experimental stain
or glaze that had been applied to
portion of Inscription Rock
which had so far been very effec
tive in preserving the inscriptions
from the further ravages of the
elements.
There is not much danger of the
Glacial Groves wearing away, but
Fatig's group advocated the erec-
tion of new sign as well as
beautifying the surroundings.
Paul Sherlock, assistant secre-
tary of the Ohio Development and
Publicity Commission, spoke of his
departments interest in Vaca-
tionland.
Joseph Prentice, custodian of the
Perry Victory Memorial at Put
in-Bay, gave a resume of the
National Park service.
Others making the boat trip for
the meeting were: Carl Becker,
AL Clemons, Carl Heckler, Stan
Larson, Carlton Schwan, George
Schade, Lee Davis, Stensen Peter

a practice for which each sex was
equally guilty.
The violation "did not have
right-of-way" was reported for 6
per cent of the male drivers as
against 9 per cent of the women.
Improper turns and "failed to
signaP' violations associated
with intersection accidents-were
reported for IL per cent of the
women and 6 per cent of the men.
Improper passing on curves,
hills and other locations where
such action is prohibited was
shown for 9 per cent of the men
as compared to per cent of the
women.
Information relative to reported
speeds and drinking driver Incl
dence was compiled from the rec
ord of approximately $4,000 male
drivers and 1000 female drivers
who were involved in traffic acci-
uSlGo VI dll types uuIA AiS Iof'
on rural state highways.
Twenty-six per cent Of all
males involved in 1947 accidents
on rural state roads reported
speeds in excess of so miles per
hour as against II per cent of the
women drivers. Only per cent
of the women reported speeds of
60 miles an hour or higher as
compared to 9 per cent of the men.
The drinking driver incidence
for men was II per cent and for
women was a per cent.

Conservation Is
April's Theme

In a radio message carried over
twenty Ohio stations last week,
in connection with the signing of
the Conservation Month and Ar
Dor Day proclamation, Governor
Frnk J. Lausche urged the schools
of the state to consider serious
ly the Importance of observance
programs.
T am asking" Mr.. Lausche
said, chat the citizens of Ohio
and especially the school admin
istrators and school teachers seize
the opportunity which Conserva-
tion Month and Arbor Day pro
vides, and get some trees and
shrubs and plant them during
April. A tree or shrub in the
hands of willing boy or girl, who
will oil his spade with serious
ness, push it into the ground
with a weight of determination
will make an Arbor Day that will
be long remembered"
The proclamation named April
as Conservation Month, April %
90 as Conservation Week in Ohio
schools and Friday, April 20, as
Arber and Bird Day.
81 urge you, as citizens OF
Ohio" he said, "to consider serl-
ously the importance of our nat
ural resources of soil, water, for
ests, minerals and wildlife and ask
that you encourage and take part
in observance programs through
out the month of April"
Through the combined efforts of
the Ohio Division of Conservation
and the State Department OF
Education, handbooks are now be-
ing prepared for teachers and
school administrators, to assist
them in preparing projects and
programs to commemorate the
occasion.

Depot Salvages
Surplus Material

TOLEDO-Although it is not
in the junk business, the salvage
branch at Rossford Ordnance De-
pot last year collected over ST.
100000 in the sale of surplus and
obsolete equipment disposed of by
the Army at that installation, ac-
cordirg to figures released by de-
pot officials.
This huge amount should be of
interest to tax payers for it rep
resents the Army's attempt to save
something from the large ex-
penditures being made annually
for military security.
The sale of used, obsolete and
salvaged tools, parts and vehicles
represents a return to the Gov
ernment of about 80 per cent Of
the original cost of the equip
ment.
Largest single return during
the year was derived from the
sale of scrap parts and old iron.
This figure amounted to $67, 800.
Steel banding, paint pals, silica
jell drums, and plain sheet iron
brought in some $42,250.
Salvage workers regularly comb
the depot junk pile for scrap alum
inum, copper, brass and lead. Sale
Of these items during 1948 was
responsible for a total of $4,000.
Among the smaller sales during
the year was $400 per month from
waste paper, and 500 per month
income from the sale of broken
Grating boxes and pieces of wood,
sold to the general public as
kindling.
Even the garbage from the
post cafeteria, Officers Club, and
troop mess is collected and sold
to hog feeders at slight profit
to the Government.
In addition to these sales, Ross
ford Ordnance Depot is also do
mating material to other Govern
ment agencies. The educational
institutions of five states, Fed
eral prisons, and the National
Guards are all receiving equip
ment on a free issue basis for
which no credit is taken. Such
donations have amounted to near
ly 100000 thus far.

The Development and Principles
Of the Social Welfare Program

real and inalienable right to assis-
lance from the public funds. AS
with education, we have come to
realize that the disintegration of
human values resulting from IN
checked poverty and dependency
are a burden upon the State as
well as upon the Individual and
that, apart from the humanitarian
ends involved, a real gain will be
achieved for the entire body poll
tic by elimination of the causes of
poverty and by the alienation of
the evils of malnutrition, diseases,
ernie and other Embellishments
which follow in its wake.
In our Virgin Islands, the de-
velopment of public welfare acti-
vities has in many respects been
similar to the pattern in the Unit
ed States, though unfortunately
we r still a long step behind
them in the development of re-
sources and facilities. During Da-
nish days, assistance to the needy
first began through private cha
rity, supplemented later by semi
public charity through the Public
Trust Funds (some established
through gifts and requests, some
by the ear-marking of certain pub
lie revenues), and supplemented
later by appropriations through
the Municipal Budgets. Shelter for
the poor was at first provided by
church almshouses, later supple
mented by Government institu-
lions such as the Kings Hill Poor
Farm in st. Croix and the Queen
Louise Home in st. Thomas. The
Lutheran Church has done a won
derful job for children in st. Croix
as you know, through their Queen
Louise and Ebenezer Homes. I'm
fortunately, funds available for
social work in the Islands have al
ways been grossly inadequate and
Institutional care, public assistance
and welfare services as a result
have been far below desirable
standards. Unfortunately, too, the

Federal Social Security Act of
1885, which, as l already mention
ed, brought into being in the Unit
ed States a new concept in public
welfare, was not extended to the
Virgin I$slands.
But, in 1943, in the effort to
improve our Virgin Islands public
welfare administration and to
make ourselves ready for the So
cial Security Act, our legislature
adopted new and basic legislation
governing public assistance and
welfare services in the Virgin Is
lands. Known as the Social We'll
fare Act of 1913, this was drafted.
with the help of experts form the
Social Security Administration of
the United States and embodies
the modern enlightened principles
of the Federal Social Act. It sets
up the duties of the Department
of Social Welfare to administer
public assistance, child welfare
services, and other welfare servic
es to individuals in need thereof
and to operate or supervise the
operation of institutions for the
care of children, the aged and the
infirm. 1t goes farther to establish
in our Islands the new mo-
dern concept that need carries
with it a right to public assistance
and Tor such welfare services as
as may be available; that need,
and need only, must be the final
criterion on which the right to as
Sistance must be determined.
With the acceptance of this i'm
portant concept, we also must and
do accept the corollary which de-
velops therefrom, that it is the re-
sponsibility of the applicant for
assistance to prove beyond doubt
that this need does exist in order
to establish his or her eligibility
for assistance. This latter concept
is as fundamental to the public
welfare program as the first, has
1ow become established practice
throughout the nation, and SINH
.arly has been adopted here. This
las made it necessary for the De-
partment to set UP certain income
and other standards as to
eligibility. This means also that it

Continued from yesterday

But it was not until 1888, only
10 years ago, that a clear break
came, on a national front, with the
old thinking and old methods of
dealing with dependency. Then,
the great depression and a great
President Franklin D. ROOSEVELT
combined to awaken the country
to the imperative need to char1ae
the archaic practices of three cen
turtles to reflect the new condi-
tons of life and the enlightened
attitudes of the Twentieth Cen
tury in regard to the rights of
man and the worth of the indivi-
dual.
The wholesale distress of those
awful days brought a realization
that poverty and dependency are
often the result of causes wholly
beyond the control of the indi-
viduals suffering their ills, and
that a society which imposed these
conditions upon its victims had a
clear responsibility for dealing
with the results. The awakened
conscience of the country, under
great leadership, forced the pas
sage in 1885 of the Federal Social
Security Act, which at last provid-
ed for full and clear acceptance
by Government of its obligations
to the needy. No longer is want
accepted as inevitable; it is now
a problem to be wrestled with. For
generations no one has questioned
the fact that a child's need for a
basic education gives him a right
to such education. 1t has long been
accepted that it is important not
only for the child, but for the
State also, that each child be edu-
Gated to be a useful citizen. Ora
dually other rights based on needs
are being accepted. Among them,
at last we are coming to a reali-
cation that the need for support,
in young or old, carries with it a

ton about his income or resources
as will enable the Department to
determine his or her eligibility for
assistance under the standards as
set up, Too often this requirement
is mistaken for an ~unwarranted
prying into ones personal affairs.
1t must be clear to all who take
the time to think about it that this
is a necessary and essential part
in the process of setting up the
right of the applicant for assis-
lance.
