MOBILE, Ala. - (P - w. T
Fulton, Jr., admitted that it was

Fulton wrote the Gulf, Mobile

confines and tried to force one of
your freight trains off it's beaten
track. My COWS were definitely out
of order and therefore you may

Mr.. Reeder pointed to the 1923
persons in motor vehicles who were
killed at highway-rail intersections
in 1850 alone as an example of how
badly safety education is needed in
this phase of the traffic problem.
"The National Safety Council, .
he said, names inattentiOn, reck-
.lessness and disregard of warning
signs and signals as the leading
of such highway-rail inter-
section accidents"
This tendency on the part Of
drivers 20 trust to luck rather than
to their eyes and ears, when APP
preaching a railroad is one Of the
chief targets in the current pro-
gram of traffic safety education be-
ing undertaken locally by the Del.
aware Safety Council.
'The Delaware Safety Council"
Mr.. Reeder said, has cut out for
itself a job that is as big as it is
worthwhile. They certainly have
the blessings and the cooperation
Of the police department in their
work"
Mr.. Reeder and the Delaware
Safety Council listed the following
hints for all motorists:
l. Slow down and double your
caution at ALL highway-rail inter
sections.
2. At multiple crossings be sure
that ALL tracks are clear before
proceeding.
3. Never assume that you know
the train schedule on railroad
tracks familiar to you.
4. Be especially alert at night.
S. In cool weather be particularly
careful. When car windows are
closed the warning whistles of ap.
preaching trains may be muffled.

Capital City-810 Seventeenth

its toll and thrust great hol-

once solid body of this lofty
tree and left it but a shell.
AS I. studied the deep-lined
bark, black and damp from

of the days that had passed;
of the show, the changing

throwing shadows like dane

garden grass and across the
old Seventeenth street side

the foliage spreads over the
rugged branches like verdant
lace, giving the aged tree a
kind of soft feminine quality.
It captivates paSsersby with
its bewitching charms, just as
it must have done In the days
of Adams, Jefferson and
Monroe.
History tells us that over
hundred years ago Judge

this tree from the River Jor-

garden of his home in the

still hang in the hayloft and
saddles and old harness are
hanging on handmade pegs

The Moving Finger

Not the Ides of March - the
March of Dimes is in full swing
this week. The kiddies have
swarmed all over the town like
bees, trying to gather "honey" to
help in the fight against the
dread malady, polio.
Such campaigns help h e
cause of sweet charity and help
those who take part in them TO
learn to live for more than self.
Some of your old and young
people are extra stingy because
they never use the opportunity to
help anybody or any cause. But
that's something else.
Dade County has a quota of
$3.50, 900 for the March of Dimes.
Let everyone chip-in and do his
bit.

THE SPECTATOR
THE SEASON IS REALLY
HERE
BY ELLIOTT }. PIEZE

With the opening of Hialeah
Park Race Track, it can truly be
said that the season is really here.
Despite everything else which
may lead one to think to the con-
trary, Miami as a whole still re-
main primarily a season resort.
Yes it is true that there are many
year around projects and the
prospects for year around bust
ness is always very good, but it
is also true that during the sea-
son, practically everything is bet
ter, for evryUne.
But the Miami season not only
brings down the high type and
highly desirable visitors, it also
brings down the low type and
most undesirable ones along with
the good ones. Such condition
is true in Miami today.
Hialeah Park, the worlds most
beautiful race course has thrown
open its doors for its 40-day sea-
son. During those 40 days, mil
lions of dollars will be wagered
on the various horses with every
wagerer feeling that he has the
winner; even though in the usual
race, only one horse can win.
But the horse and dog race
tracks do their parts in the main
tenance of many vital state in
StitutionS. But for taxes from
racing, primarily in southeast
Florida, many of the smaller
counties in the state would not
be able to carry on many of
their most important functions.
Tropical Park, which just clos
ed its 40-day meet, always opens
the season in this area, and Gulf
stream Park will follow Hialeah.
But the peak of the season is
geared to the time that Hialeah
Park is open and that time
began on Wednesday of this
week.
And so the Miami season is
here. Here's hoping that year
around Miamians will use good
judgement and make the best of
everything, remembering that the
season will not always be here
remembering also that when the
season comes, the undesirable
characters also come down along
with the good. So beware and be
prepared.
AS far as actually betting on
the various races, my advice to
you is this: If you cannot afford
to lose the money without seri-
ously affecting your budget, don't
bet at all. 1t is perfectly all right
to wager on the ponies, if you
can afford to stand to lose the
amount of money you wager.
The racing game was not intend
ed for the poorer working class
of people, although many of
them follow the game from track
to track. But the very time when
you are in dire need of money,
and try to win some on a race
horse, is the time when the horse
just will not win for you.
Again, say, if you cannot af-
ford to lose the money, don't bet
at all. Remember, you can beat
race but you can't beat the
races. And as an old race horse
follower once told me; cts the
creed that all race horse players
must die broke" Good luck and
best wishes to all.
