Pedestrian Safety is, the high
way safety theme for November ac-
cording to an announcement of the
Maryland State Police. All police
departments of the State will be
reminding motorists and pedes-
TRANS alike of the hazards of the
highway, which last year accounted
for 5000 pedestrian fatalities in
the United States, 173 of which
were in Maryland.
Commenting on this serious prob
lem, Major Ruxton M. Ridgely, Ex-
ecutive Officer, made the following
comment: From o'clock through
8 o'clock in the evening from Oc-
tober through March 81, constit-
utes only six per cent of the entire
year, but in 1949, twenty-five per-
cent of all pedestrian deaths took
place in this brief span. The
pedestrians mistaken notion that
HE is as visible to an oncoming
driver as the headlights of the
car are to him - has led to more
pedestrian deaths than any other
single cause. He fails to realize
that the driver that he can see APP
preaching nearly mile away, may
not actually see him walking in the

place Of two." ass,,
That was some "a years ago.
But even then Corbett was Sc
verify critical Of the way all
fighters that far back trained.
All except Gene Tunney who
studied the game intelligently
who worked, studied the eff
feet Of many punches--and who
also kept himself In marvellous
condition for the five years
needed 10 reach and hold his
goal.
Dempsey can't relax" Corbett
said at that time. "Jack goes out
for the quick kill. He puts every
thing he has into his earlier as.
saults. Dempsey has the finest COM
petitive spirit I've ever seen. Tun-
ney is the coolest man in the ring
I've ever seen. Here are two great
fighters who are almost opposite
in everything they do. Dempsey is
80 per cent attack-Tunney at least
80 per cent defense. But don't think
Tunney can't hurt you"
When you think OF fighters like
Corbett, Dempsey and Tunney--
and Louis In his prime-and then
lcok at the morbid heavyweights
you see today you wonder how such
a change could take place.

another major factor leading to
such accidents is the pedestrians
inability to judge distances and
speeds accurately at night. Our
files are full of records of pedes-
TRANS who thought they had time
to cross the road before the APP
preaching headlights were on them.
pedestrians would do well to
observe the following common
sense rules of highway safety:

yourself don't depend on luck or
the drivers of the car.
look both ways before crossing :
make sure the way is clear.
don't cross in the middle of the
block.
don't walk from between parked
cars or in front, or rear, of a
standing bus.
walk to the left of the road fac
ing traffic.
always carry light, or wear
something white, while walking at
night, so that the motorist can see
before it is too late.
don't walk on the highway when
under the influence of alcohol"

Jim Corbett had written q book
called 1.-THE Roar Of the Crowd"
Jim was looking for some pub
hcity for the book. Tunney at
the time was looking for pub
licity that would help him nail
down the Dempsey fight. Gene
was inst finishing a long CAM
paign for the championship. So
Jack Eaton and your c0rrespOn-
dent got the idea Of using Cor
bett and Tunney in q One-reeler
in our movie sport-reel series.
Both agreed promptly. The meet
ing was to be only two rounds at
two minutes each. The only outsid-
er permitted to see the boxing duel
was Frank Craven, the late and
always brilliant actor. Jim Corbett
was then So years old. Tunney was
around 25 or 26. Tunney was dressed
in full fighting costume but Corbett
asked to be allowed to wear long
white trousers. st.
my legs are not what they used
to be-" he said. ''They have thinned
out lot. don't want the old gang
around the Olympic Club in San
francisco to note the change"
In addition to his So years
Corbett also had . cold. Gene
Tunney later admitted that he
had never faced boxer with
that much boxing skill. Corbett
would feint with his left and
then lead with his left. Or he
would feint with his left two or
three times before calling on
his right. Old Jim had an amaz-
ing repertoire.
II used the feint.es he said. ''beth
on attack and defense. Most box
ers now use it only In defense
to make you miss. The feint is a
wonderful attacking device" II
was not only the various uses Cor
bett had for his feinting. but also
the speed of his hands at So. Nat.
urally Gene Tunney was not out
to show Corbett up, or to make IL
too rough. But Corbett kept Tun-
ney busy enough through those four
minutes.
And Tunney that afternoon was
at his peak as boxer-one Of the
best in the game.

IN AROUND Ro0 GAITHERSBURG
Mrs. James Schroeder

The unusual heat of October
has increased the fig crop on our
one tree to such an extent we are
still making preserves. A good
thing too, for our family is so
fond of this southern delecacy
that every quart made is soon
gone, and we have managed to
hide away only four quarts for the
cold season. Asked how we had so
many figs when others have none
in this vicinity, we told how we
used four stakes placed evenly
around the tree. Around the
stakes we wrapped burlap from
the ground to the top of the tree.
That is all. Too much cover will
cause the branches to rot. Fig
trees have no bloom, each fig
comes in the joint with the leaf,
and our first crop of the past year
started ripening before the last
Of May. If heavy cold kills the
branches, the crop must all come
from new shoots, which means that
in the average year, none will
ripen before frost. If you like figs,
try our method.
