kidnapping and transporting a
stolen automobile across State
lines
The FBI in Albany explained
that it was possible the kidnapping
charge would be dropped, al
though it might be sustained even
if Jeannette had agreed to go
with Lanning. Being minor, she
would have needed her parents
consent.
Lanning told State police he

The car in which they set out
was wrecked near Bristol, on the

Safety Council Pleads
For Sane Driving
CONTINUED from first parel


the milliOnth fatality in the United
States since the automobile came
into use.
This tragic reminder comes from
Francis j. JamisOn, Assistant Man
ager of the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil, who emphasizes the need to
postpone that milliOnth death as
long as possible. The continuing
traffic safety program in Delaware
is part of nationwide safety efforts.
The safety of pedestrians is
stressed this month, a time of year
when darkness and unfavorable
weather contribute to the increase
in pedestrian accidents.
"The first recorded traffic death
in this country was a pedestrian.
struck after he had alighted from
a street car Mr.. JamisOn said. 1T
could be that the millionth victim
also will be a pedestrian. In cities
about half the people killed in traf-
tic are walking.
People still getting off buses and
street cars without looking where
they're going. come from between
parked cars and cross streets care
lessly. They seem to deliberately
put themselves in the way of traf-
iic. Over and over we all need to
be reminded to walk with care.
SO follow the safe walking rules
and DON'T WALK YOURSELF
TO DEATH"
Here are the rules, supplied by

LIZ appointment VI LII L.
c. Canegata as Administrator
in Christiansted is an out
standing achievement for him
and should raise the aspiration
of native Virgin Islanders.
For over three decades he
has rendered invaluable SER
vice, both professionally and
through civic activities. For
years he served in the Colonial
Council despite the exacting
demands upon his time as a
physician. In recognition Of
his distinguished service as a
legislator he was appointed
judge Of the lower court,
which position he has filled
with distinction, thereby win
ming for himself the right to
be named to the coveted posi-
ton he now holds.
To Virgin Islanders the Ad-
ministrator will always be
better known as DR.. Canegata.
To them the appointment will
by no means be the most i'm
portant milestone in his
eminent career. Far more sig
nifcant is the role which he
played in the Colonial Coun-
ell, where strategy and objec-
tives were resolved to mould
the destiny of the Islands.
In the Council he was out
spoken IN advocating legisla-
ton to enhance the cause Of
human rights. He gave sup
port to those opposing intoler-
ance and bigotry. Although
not as ardent a champion Of
the Labor Union as was the
late D. Hamilton Jackson and
r. De Chabert, he, neverthe-
less, recognized the signih-
canoe Of the struggles those.
men encountered in their eff
forts to win higher wages and
better working conditions for
the laborers, and rallied to
their support on the floor Of
the legislative assembly.
He has on several occasions
been sent to Washington to
appear before Congressional
Committees on matters of vi
tai Importance, affecting the.
welfare of the Islands. On all
Of these missions he has had
the support Of many Of his col
