SAFETY URGED
Many Deaths Caused By Care
lessness or Disregard
for Traffic Rules
$3.50 KILLED LAST YEAR

'Take time to walk safely!"
This was the advice given the
citizens of Delaware recently by
John D. Reeder, President of the
Delaware Safety Council. in an ap-
peal for greater pedestrian safety
pedestrian deaths can be traced
back to variety of things, Mr.
Reeder said, "but the one basic ele-
ment in nine out of ten such fatal
tiles is either carelessness, or out
and-out disregard for traffic rules
by motorist or pedestrian"
According to the National Safe
ty Council, Mr.. Reeder said, 1880
pedestrians were killed and about
100000 injured throughout the
country last year. In only one-third
of these accidents were the pedes-
trians using the roadway correct
ly."
Carelessness and disregard for
traffic rules are particularly fool
hardy during the winter months,
according to the Delaware Safety
Council, because of the additional
hazards brought about by the re-
duced visibility and inclement
weather at this time of year.
"Our goal", Mr.. Reeder said, "is
to utilize every means possible in
bringing home to all walkers three
important facts influencing the
high fatality rate of pedestrians.
1--WE must first convince them
that in any dispute involving 6
pedestrian and an automobile, il
will be the automobile that wins
That is why it is so foolish to take
chances. An automobile will out

Marydel Homemakers held their

By Wallace E. CIoyton

A certain man we once knew
and alienated as quickly as pos
sible was obsessed by one Ger
tain overpowering ambition.
He dreamed of fullfllment OF
this ambition, to the total ex-
clusion of everything else, while
listening to the jokes of his boss
when crossing crowded downtown
streets and at anniversary dinners
with his wife.
Nor did it deter him at all that
he was somewhat less than
steadily employed, or that he was
well known statistic in traffic
accident figures, or that his wife
started getting her mail at
mothers.
OF course, this man was not
completely without the normal
everyday hopes of the average
human being---such as wanting to
be the first person to swim the
English channel in three hours and
13 minutes, using the backstroke
all the way; or hoping to be elected
chief card-cutter of the Friday
Night Whist and Whistle Club:
or dreaming of being able to re-
create exactly and without ques-
ton the signature of the richest
man in town.
But these ambitions were rou-
tine, minor league things, not to
be considered in the same dream
with the one main f1xation.
And what was it? Simple. Our

IHonored in Senate
By Tydinqs' Speech
By the Associated Press

A veteran neWsman, George w.
Combs, got some attention in the
Senate yesterday.
Senator Tydings, Democrat OF
Maryland, called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Combs, an honorary
Kentucky colonel, was observing
his And anniversary with the
Baltimore Sun and his 33rd year
as a member of the Congressional
Press galleries.
Mr.. Combs, for many years
treasurer of the National Press
Club, was not in the Senate Press
Gallery at the time Sen. Tydings
got unanimous consent to pay
him tribute.

Dutch Rebel Leader
Escapes Murder Charge
By The Assoeioied Press

SINGAPORE, Aug. 22.-Saved
by a Singapore court from murder
charges in Indonesia, r. P. P.
(Turk) Westerling was en- route
to London by plane today.
Westerling, a former Dutch
army officer, fed to Singapore last
January after leading an abortive
rebellion in West Java. lnoo-
nesian efforts to have him extra
dited failed, although Westerling
served two brief terms in Singa-
pore jails-the first for illegal
entry, the second for breaking a
cellmate's Jaw while in prison.
From London, Westerling is ex-
pected to go to Brussels, Belgium.

Their combined performances
is a magnificent example of en-
semble playing. Each finely CHS.

fectly with the others like the
delicate jewels in an expensive
timepiece. AS the brutal but dy'
manic politician who had the
others in his hip pocket along
with whiskey, the blackjack and

trifying performance. A rabble'
rousing demagogue, he exudes
such power and sheer animal
magnetism that he sweeps every

Keyed closely to Broderick's

she loses all sense of family

with a biting performance as the
