Guard Throws
Pistol On
Children

RICHMOND, Va. (ANP)-Gov.
Battle was notified formally last
week that "a Seashore State Park
guard chased a group of Negro
children in hiking party out of
the park by brandishing a pistol
at them. 1t was reported also that
the guard used epithets as he or
dered the group of the park.
The children were members of
a Norfolk Colored Union mission
hiking party. They entered the
park by mistake. The incident al
legedly occurred on Aug. 8 when
a group of children and counsel
lors from Camp Handy crossed

Protection
Against Lightning

Motorists who get caught in
heavy summer thunder storms
need have little fear of being
struck by lightning, say meteoro
logists of the y. S. Weather
Bureau and the Department of
Agriculture engineers. They add
that occupants of the car are prac-
tically immune from injury by
lightning.
Statistics show that the chances
of lightning causing a fire are
only 1 in IL for buildings protect
ed with lightning rods as COM
pared with unrodded buildings.
Among the safety rules are: Do
not go out, or remain out in
thundrestorms. Stay in the dry,
preferably away from fireplaces
and stoves if the building is not
rodded.
If you have a choice of shelter
in a thunderstorm, choose in the
following order : large metal or
metal frame buildings orthose pro-
tected from lightning; large un-
protected buildings; small unpro-
tected buildings; always stay away
from open doors or windows.
If outdoors during a storm
keep away from small shelters in
the open, isolated trees, wires
fences, hilltops and large open
spaces.
You can feel safer in a depress-
ion in the ground, in cave, in
a deep valley or canyon, at the
fot of a cliff, in dense woods or
in grove Of trees.

1t was reported in the New
York Times recently that Taft
are incensed at a rul-
ing of Ohio's attorney general
who ruled that illiterate voters
are entitled to assistance in mark
ing their ballots. Taft is fearful
of the votes of the many Negroes
who migrated to Ohio during the
last war and wiic have little or no
schooling. These persons may not
have much book knowledge, but
they are painfully aware of the
consequences of Taft's opposition
to compulsory FEPC law.
