Darkness Factor For 80 Fatal
Accidents Occurring in
State Last Year
81 PERSONS LOST LIVES

"Astotal of 80 persons lost their
lives in II traffic accidents in Del
aware last year." Robert Kennedy,
Vice President of Public Safety for
the Delaware Safety Council, said
yesterday. And darkness was an
accessory before the fact in ma
jority of these tragedies. Mr.. Ken
nedy's statement came in support
of the Delaware Safety Councils
program of traffic safety education,
which is being undertaken in CO.
operation with the National Safety
Council.
Darkness was a factor in 80 of
the II fatal accidents occurring in
Delaware last year and in many of
the .2,100 traffic deaths that oc-
CURED throughout the nation last
October" he said. I'VE must real

TO COOPERATE
Highway Department Asks
Passengers Not to Toss
Out Garbage ON Highway
LAW AGAINST PRACTICE

The State Highway Department
is again asking the travelling public
to refrain from tossing garbage
and debris from their cars as they
travel along the State Highways in
order to have the highways present
a neat appearance.
r. A. Haber, Chief Engineer of
the Department, while commenting
on this situation, stated that with
the advent of fall and early winter,
the leaves will be falling from the
trees and there will be less shrub
berry along the roads.
Garbage or debris tossed from
cars, he pointed out, will be in plain
view of other motorists in a more
conspicuous manner than it would
be with the shrubbery in foliage.
Mr.. Haber stated that keeping
the roads in neat appearing con-
dition is one of the operations Of
the Department and the removal of
the rubbish and debris is becoming
quite a problem since it is requir-
ing more work all the time.
Concerning the placing of rub
bish or garbage along the State
Highways, or within fifty feet of a
Highway, Mr.. Haber reminded the
public that at present there is a
law in this State prohibiting this
action.
The Chief Engineer expressed
! the belief that cooperation on the
part of the travelling public in re-
framing from tossing things from
their cars, would prevent the nee
essity of having a strict enforce
ment of the law, resulting in ar
rests and possible fines, to halt the
practice.

The Delaware Safety Councils

and seeks to curb the after-dark
toll of lives and property.
''If we can convince both drivers
and pedestrians of one fact, this
month";" Mr.. Kennedy said, "our
program will have succeeded. That
fact is: nighttime is more than
twice as dangerous as daytime for
walking and driving. To stay alive

ply by calling Newark 277e1 or the
Dover Office of the State Board of
Agriculture.
According to E. S. Biddle, bac-
teriologist in charge of diagnostic
service, this will enable dairymen
to get faster and more accurate
service in mastitis testing. How
ever, Biddle warns, no dairymen
should ask for this service unless
they are serious in their intentions
in controlling the disease.
The tests used in testing milk
samples for bacteria of mastitis
significance are time consuming
and expensive. At the present
time, 25 cents per COW is charged
for this service. The actual cost is
approximately $500 per animal.

The high court agreed with the

Coach Eddie Robinson, of Gram
bling, said Saturday that there
shouldn't be any uncertainty about
putting a finger on the winner.
It'll be Maryland by several T.
DIS. They have everything = poise,
depth and finesse.' He added:
'You can't expect my boys to cut
into the spoils against an outfit
like that"
Football enthusiasts around the
Grambling campus, however, were
of different opinion. They dar-
ingly told all within shouting dis
tance that if the Tigers can keep
possession of the ball most of the
time this fall, everybody had bet
ter watch out, Maryland State in
cluded.
The reason? Grambling has
the best backfield in the schools
history and four gilt edged ends.
The array of backfield talent, re-
putedly the best in the cotton
country" includes such sizzlers as
Dave "The Bull' DiaZ, Bennie
Harris, Charlie Davis, Winfred
Hudson, Herman Coleman, Author
Redman and Darnell Cowan,
freshman uarterback who makes
like Brave HoratiuS" behind the
line.
The latter's clever tossing is ex-
pected to provide balance for the
strong running attack.
Grambling's major handicap is
that it lacks a tough-fibered line
for it's 1O-game suicide docket. This
could prove its undoing.
Maryland State, on the other
hand, has everything. Three stand
out gridders, who played promin-
ent parts in the Hawks unbeaten
season a year ago, will lead the
team against the Tigers.
They are End Johnny McDaniels,
Tackle Hoe Raikes and Guard Dan
Thomas. Raikes and Thomas
earned all-star honors last fall,
and. McDaniels is again expected
to add spark to the Hawks offense.
The contest is expected to at
tract an opening crowd of 10000.

The National Urban League and
it's So local affiliateS last week
concluded it's 10th annual confer

ing and discussion was built around
the theme: Matching Manpower to

assistance from the other twin
city, Minneapolis, MINI. Hotel
Lowery, st. PauPs leading hotel,

and the residence for the con-

Guichard Paris, National Ur-

history from the standpoint of
numbers, participation of board
members, and persons outside of
League staff. Of the SO affiliates,
only three failed to send represen-
tatives. 500 persons from every Sec
ton of the country and represent
ing all vocations exchanged ideas
of how to make more effective
use of the minority element of
American manpower.
The basic facts which were re-
peatedly emphasized at the con-

Its Fortieth Annual Conference

ference were that United States
is being watched by the entire
world to observe how and when
it will solve it's minority problem;
that race relations is gaining the
attention of more and more allies;
that business is recognizing the
economy of hiring according to
skill and not race or religion; that
the PHILOSOPHERS of this nation, the
labor movement, and the Urban
League are nearly Identical; that
there is a great need for accurate
guidance of youth in preparation
for the new job opportunities
opened to them by Urban League
efforts; and that Negroes them
selves must take a more active
part in the solution of their prob
lens.
Many prominent speakers made
their contributions to the theme
of the conference, among whom
were: The Honorable Luther w.
Youngsdahl, governor of Mime
sofa. The Honorable Sid McMath,
governor of Arkansas, George w.
Snowden, special representative of
William Green, President Of A. F.

ist), National Urban League Pres
ident, and Lester B. Granger, Ex-
ecutive Director of the National
Urban League.
Alton w. Thomas, Executive
Secretary of the Phoenix Urban
League, was the representative
from this city. Thomas served on
two conference committees: The
Awards Committee and the Com
mittee on Personnel Practices.
The working section of the con-
ference was based on reports of
several commissions on the as
poets of the League program,
whose material was gathered from
studies and evaluationS of the en-
tire League movement. Discussion
groups composed of all the con-
fereeS re-evaluated the material
and offered suggestions and reso-
lutions regarding disposition and
procedure.

Ray Robinson To
Fight For
ConcerFund

New York (NNPA) = Ray Rob-
inson plans to make the first de-
fense of his newly regained world
middleweight championship for the
Damon Runyon Cancer Fund in
Miami in December, George Gain
ford, his manager, said last Thurs
day.
He has no idea who the probable
challenger will be, but it is be-
lieved Bobby Dykes will be given
the assignment.
The charity match will be the
last in which Robinson will ap-
pear this year for two reasons:
1. While regaining his 16O-lb.
title from Randy Turpin on a
tenth round technical knockout in
the Polo Grounds last Wednesday
night, he received an eye cut which
will take at least ten weeks to
heal.
2. His $188,491.18 purse, exclu-
SlVe or his oO per cent share OF
the movie take of 100000 plus,
has placed him in the 80 per cent
income tax bracket.
A bout with Rocky Graziano,
former champion, was virtually
sealed for this month when Turpin
shocked the world and upset the
applicant by dethroning Robinson
last July. The International Box
ing Club, through Truman Gibson,
manager of the Chicago branch of
IBC. already has placed a Robin
son-Graziano bout on the agenda
for February in Chicago.
But it appears that the Robin
son-Graziano bout in Chicago Sta
dunn has been sidetracked, prob
ably for good.
