Resolve: To
Play Safe

H. S. Weaver, Chief of Police to-
day cautioned motorists and pedes-
trians to "Be wise to winters dead
ly tricks!"
He stressed the fact that fewer
hours of daylight, the prevalence
of ice-coated streets, the frequent
snowfalls and other factors, such
as murky weather, help to make
the winter months hazardous for
those behind the wheel or afoot.
To combat these adverse condi-
tions it was recommended that
motorists redouble their caution
and drive slowly when streets are
slippery from rain, sleet or snow.
1t was also recommended that
drivers avoid warming up their
cars in closed garages, as carbon
monoXide poisoning is dangerous.
"We must bear in mind" Chief
Weaver said, "that brakes applied
suddenly on slippery pavement
may cause dangerous skidding. So
apply brakes gradually, driving
slowly enough SO they won't grab.
Lowered speed is essential to traf-
fic in slippery weather.
pedestrians too must remember
that drivers have more difficulty
in operating their cars in bad
weather and should cross only at
intersections-and then only when
the way is clear.
Remember" he added, "your
life can slip away on an icy street,"

Pontiaes Meet
Close Inspection

"Public reaction to new so
Pontiac models was never better
than evidenced at the initial show
ing in December" says Louis
Newman, Pontiac dealer at 1162s
Euclid ave.
"The new cars are receiving as
thorough an inspection as can
recall over many years of new
model introductions. The average
American seems never to lose in
terest in automobiles and what
the automobile industry is doing
to provide improved personal
transportation for him."
Mr.. Newman said that Pontiac
is especially a focal point this
year because of new engineering
developments, "dual-range" driv-
ing through. The use of higher
range hydra-matic transmissions,
compression engines, new dual
range hydra-matic transmissions
economy rear axle gear ratio. He
explained that these elements COM
prise an entirely new Pontiac
power train which pepmits maxi
mum flexibility and economy in
performance from congested city
traffic to open country driving.
Demand for new Pontiacs is
exceptionally high and a strong
future demand is Indicated" he
said. "For the present we expect
to maintain a good schedule of
deliveries to new car customers
with minimum waiting"

Decides Not 10 Stay
BY the Associoted Press

LOVEJOY, Ga, Dec. 26.-A
mixed racial group of Eastern
women interceding for Rosa Lee
Ingram, convicted Negro murder
ess, encountered Georgia's segre-
CATION laws today when they
sought to take their appeal to Gov.
Herman Talmadge.
Calling at the Governors farm
home after taxicab trip from At
lanta and finding him absent on a
holiday hunt, they were invited to
await his return It the white
women in one group, Negroes in
another.
1--WE have segregation here" the
Governors wife told the callers.
But we have comfortable homes
for colored people on the farm.
The colored women are perfectly
welcome there"

The white women in the delega-
ton were invited into the white
columned. Colonial-type home on
the plantation.
But they refused the invitation
and all, white and Negro. returned
to the cabs that had brought
them, to wait on Talmadge.
The "taxicab march" on the
Governor was organized after a
court order stopped them from
paying a Christmas visit to Mrs
Ingram at the Georgia peniten-
tiary at Reidsville.
The women went from Reidsville
to Atlanta where Miss Elaine Ross
a leader. said they had first tele-
Igraphed the Governor. Finding
him absent from his Atlanta office
for the holidays. they decided to
besiege him at his home.
Their purpose, Miss Ross an
Inounced, was to protest their fail
ure to see Mrs. Ingram in prison
and seek her liberation.
Miss Ross gave her address as
% West Twenty sixth street. New
York, and said she was associated
with the Civil Rights Congress.
The Governor had shown little
sympathy with the visit of the
women when plans for it were dis
closed in New York by William l.
Patterson, executive secretary OF
the Civil Rights Congress.
State highway patrolmen served
the injunction, issued by Circuit
Judge Mel Price. forbidding the
women to go within a mile Of the
Tatnall prison yesterday.
A spokesman for the six Negro
and five white women said they
resented being stopped by vicious
Ihoodlums and Klansmen."
