1851 CRUSADE
FOR FREEDOM
Campaign Opened Monday
When Balloons Were Releas-
ed With Messages
ASK FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

Delaware's 1851 Crusade for
Freedom campaign opened Monday
when balloons, identical with those
being flown over Czechoslovakia
and Poland were released in this
area. The balloons carried Eng
lish translations of the original
message sent to the people in
Czechoslovakia and Poland /.
Through the Crusade for Free
dom, individuals in all walks of life
are demonstrating to the despots
of the Kremlin that we know and
appreciate our freedoms -and that
we are working toward the time
when oppressed people in Hungary,
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Rumania
and Bulgaria can again enjoy the
freedoms they knew before the
Russian oppressors moved in"
Lieutenant Governor Alexis DUPONT
Bayard, state head of the Crusade
for Freedom announced. The pop
ular American movement is being
completely endorsed by the Amer
isan Legion and other veterans or
ganizations, retail merchants and
business management, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and C.I.O.,
church groups and youth organiza-
tions. Crusade committees have
been set up in most Delaware coun-
ties. During the month of Sep
tember the people of the State will
be called on to reaffirm their belief
in democracy and to make contri-
buttons to finance the continued
operations of Radio Free Europe
and the balloon message barrage.

HOUSEWIVES BACK OPS
Housewives Buying Hamburger
Staying Away From Steaks

Housewives Buying Hamburger I;
Staying Away From Steaks
Foes of price control may have
overshot their mark if the refusal
of housewives to buy beef steaks
at cut prices is any indication. AS
if still angry, OPS director Joseph
]. McBryan this week reports that
housewives are crowding the ham
burger counters but staying away
in droves from the more tempting
beef steaks and roasts. McBryan,
who is in charge of price control
administration in Pennsylvania,
southern New Jersey, and Della
ware, said his field agents find that
women simply refuse to buy the
steaks even though they would cost
them less than dime more a
pound than hamburger in many
sections. Hamburger is sold at
from 66 to 80 cents a pound, he
said, according to the type of meat
and store in which it is bought.
Instead of a meat scarcity, which
many price control critics predict
ed, we find meat markets and sup
er markets with more steaks than
they can SELL" McBryan continued.
'The housewives tell OPS that
they have lost interest in steaks
and believe hamburger now is their
best buy" The OPS director said
the housewives action could be in
terpreted as an approval of his
agency's efforts to keep food and
other prices in line. At the same
time, he said, the same action could
serve as a warning to other groups
who might seek to scuttle price
controls and find that they have
incurred their customers wrath in
stead.

RULES GIVEN ON
CHILD SAFETY
Safety Council Urges Motor
lists to Be Child Conscious
During School Days
"SET EXAMPLE"

September means back to
school" for boys and girls-and as
the little feet go back and forth be-
tween home and school, the little
heads are not always thinking
about safety. The Delaware Safety
Council urges motorists at this
particular time of the year when
school children by the thousands
are trecking to and from school to
watch for them and their unpre-
dictable actions. Most grown-ups
have a soft spot in their hearts for
children-but statistics shows that
about 1000 children are killed each
year in traffic accidents. OF course,
we are inclined to point the finger
of blame resentfully at careless
motorists-and they must indeed
accept large responsibility. We
shake our heads, too, over the un-
thinking recklessness of the chill
dren. And that is true factor to
be reckoned with. But the Della
ware Safety Council asks the par
ents to think seriously of their own
responsibility to prevent this tragic
loss of child life. Every parent,
says the Council, should consider
early and continuous safety train
ing an important part of child
rearing. American motorists should
be more child-conscious. But chill
dren should be more safety-con-
scious, too. And that is the par
ents' job.
It's Up To The Parents
To "set children a good exam
pie"
To see that children play in safe
places-never in driveways or al
leys.
To cooperate fully with police
and school authorities in enforcing
safety rules.
To enforce official and home
rules for traffic safety by appropri-
ate penalties for violations.
It's Up To The Motorist-
! To watch for the bouncing ball
and for youngsters on skates,
scooters and tricycles.
To drive with extra caution when
he sees children, or when he is near
school zones or in residential dis
tricts.
To allow plenty of room for BIZ
cycles.
To expect the unexpected.
It's Up To The Child
To learn and obey traffic rules,
signs, and officers.
! To cross the street only at cross
walks, and to play only on play
grounds, yards, or vacant lots.
To stop and look, and, if neces-
sary, wait on the curb until the
way is clear.
To use roller skates and scooters
only on the sidewalks.
