GREATER
CAUTION, WARNS
SAFETY DIR.

Motorists were reminded today
by Safety Director H. N. Kirk
man to exercise greater caution
during November because of
changing weather conditions and
two different holiday periods.
Kirkman said that winter
months are noted for their tricky
moods. He said that beside the re-
duced visibility of foggy mornings
which also causes the road to be
slippery, there is often sudden
change in the temperature, bring
ing about another traffic hazard
in sluggish motors.
Calling attention to Armistice
and Thanksgiving he pointed out
that each one has long holiday
period.
The Armistice celebrations will
start this year on Friday night
and will continue until Monday
midnight. Thanksgiving has the
usual four day period of celebra-
ton at the end of the month.

AT JATP

The Miami Branch of the
.NAACP just disclosed that the
recent jazz at the Philharmonic
concert at Dinner Key Auditor
.ium would have been played be-
fore a segregated house had it
not been for the fortnight manner
in which director Norman Granz
met their appeal to prevent this
unnecessary slap in the face.
Recognizing the important Negro
contributions to American music
Granz said simply, IF the house
appears to be segregated we just
won't play"
Local officials of the National
Association for the Advancement
of Colored People went into &C
ton two weeks before the con-
cert upon learning that Jones'
Picot, Inc. of Fl. Lauderdale, the
promoter were selling section "a"
and "B7 tickets to White people
and section &C" to Negroes. Tele-
grams of protest were sent to
JATP headquarters and to Walter
White, NAACP executive secre-
tary. Within a few hours Mr..
Granz telephoned his reassurances
to the Miami branch secretary, Z.
Hutcherson.

Says, "I'm Lucky To
Be Alive"

CHICAGO - (ANP)-Gallant
Mrs. Dorothy Mae Stevens, Chi
cago's miracle girl" whose amaz-
ing story of surviving a rigor
mortis condition took. a sad turn
Thursday when physicians had to
amputate both of her legs nine
inches below the knee as a life
saving measure, smiled Friday
morning and said she felt very
well.
II still say I'm lucky to be
alive" she declared.
Medical authorities at Michael
Reese hospital said she withstood
the operation well and her con-
dition was satisfactory" They
related that there was a strong
indication most of her fingers
would have to be removed but
probably both of her thumbs
would remain intact.
Found in a gangway on Chi
cago'S SouthSide the morning of
Feb. 8, Mrs. Stevens was brought
to the hospital literally frozen
stiff. A normal thermometer
would not record her body tenn
perature, but a chemical one
showed it to be "a, II degrees be-
low the lowest temperature re-
corded of a person surviving. Her
recovery rocked the medical
world.
When the amputations were
made public Thursday, attending
doctors related that early in the
treatment of the case they had OBJ
served extensive damage to
muscle tissues of the legs, but
had hoped this could be removed
by local surgery if it did not heal.
Over two weeks ago when they
removed the bandages from the
arms and legs of the 23-year-old
woman, physicians stated she was
not likely to lose any digits, feet;
or arms. But related a number of
blisters were found which would
make skin grating operations
necessary.
Thursday, they declared the ex-
tent of the tissue damage was
found to be threatening the pa
tents recovery. A toxic condition
had been noticed in the last few
days.
Amiably throughout her con-
