The control center has been set
up in MilfOrd's City Hall, which
will control all other areas through
out this distract and these areas
will be alerted from the Milford
control center Immediately upon
receipt here of the warning sig
nal.
In a communication received
here from State Director of Civil
Defense d. Preston Lee of Whining
ton, it was stated, that the real
purpose of the test is to determine
the effectiveness of the signal sys-
tenn in the area, and to familiarize
the public with the sounding of the
"red" and white" alerts on the
local sirens, and other warning de-
vices.
He urged the local defense set
up to give wide publicity to the
test alert on the radio, and in the
press" and by any other means
at hand, as of vital importance, and
to acquaint the general public with
thorough understanding, that this
is test only, and that any future
tests will be announced in a similar
fashion, and when these signals are
heard at any other time without an
advance notice of a test, they must
be taught to assume, that a real
enemy attack is imminent.

Beware Of Traffic
Mishaps This Month

February is the shortest month
IN the year. Don't make it the
shortest in your life because of a
traffic accident" That advice was
offered today by John D. Reeder.
President Of the Delaware Safety
Council.
The old adage, "A little knowl-
edge can be a dangerous thing"
is especially true in the case of
drivers who have only an incom-
plete, perhaps inaccurate, knOwl-
edge of traffic regulations, Mr.. Rec
der emphasized.
Nearly go per cent of the driv-
ers involved in fatal accidents in
l949 had violated one or more traf-
tic laws at the time of the accident
National Safety Council figures
also show that violations reported
per One-hundred drivers in rural
accidents were u per cent higher
than in city accidents.
mo one feels safe with a person
who handles a shotgun carelessly.
yet ignorance and disregard for the
law in the hands of a mOtorist can
be an equally dangerous, double
barreled weapon" Mr.. Reeder said.
Cardinal rules which drivers
should obey to prevent their join
ing the ranks of accidental killers
were outlined by Mr.. r eder. They
include:
l. The only proper place for alco-
hol is in the radiator Of a car
not in the driver.
z. Obey both posted speed limits
and those safe limits imposed
by weather or other conditions.
). Avoid "right-Of-way" argu-
ments. It's better to yield the
right-Of-way than to give IN
your life to prove you're right.
4. Look for and heed signs. SIG
nails and trailc officers direc.
tiOns.
5. When you leave your car to
become a pedestrian, carry
with you the same respect Won
have for traffic laws as mo-
tOrist.
.. Taking chances on the road is
needless. Don't take any:
don't be "shOw-off."
