Atomic Power Plan
|Lauded by MckeIdin
FAt Guard Dinner
~ the A.soe;o,ed Pres,

.
CUMBERLAND. Md. Dec. 10.
Gov. McKeldin tonight praised
President Eisenhower's atomic
power proposals and pledged
himself to work for a better Ma
tional Guard.
The Governor spoke at a din
ner celebrating the seventh an
niversary Of the reorganization
Of National Guard units here.
He said he was proud he had a
hand several months ago in
blocking proposals by which
"short-sighted politicians and
some military men would destroy
or immensely weaken" the Ma
tional Guard.
President Eisenhower has
struck q mighty blow for lasting
peace" said Gov. McKeldin in
speaking of the new atomic
power proposals.
Whether they work out, the
Governor declared, depends on
the whims and expediency Of
those who have lived on con-
quest-the dictators who may
fear the establishment of a last
ing peace as much as their long
suffering subjects dread the
thought of global war"
I'VE must keep a substantial
military force in training and
readiness in the event of break
down Of agreements, or the
break-away of some nations
under the kind of mad leadership
which so often disturbs the
tranquility of the world" the
Governor said.
"We know the great value Of
the National Guard for such re-
serve purposes.
There are those well versed
in the military arts who believe
the Federal establishment must
concentrate much of its funds
and efforts on the perfecting and
stockpiling of even more terrible
weapons and the training of
smaller groups of specialists to
handle them.
"They feel that such concen-
tration will not eliminate the
need-at least in reServe-of q
wek-trained, loyal group of SOL
diefs who could be called upon
quick notice to defend installa-
tioris at home, to strike in places
where atom power would not be
particularly effective, and to oc-
cupy conquered areas.
Here again the National
Guard Of Maryland and those Of
the other States would come into
their own"

Safety Council Notes

Thousands of Americans will die
trying to have a god time this COM
ing Labor Day holiday, many more
thousands will wind up in hospitals
because they tried too hard to have
fun, and millions will come back
home needing a rest to recover from
their strenuous holiday.
Have a good time but get some
rest Come back feeling better than
when you left home. And by all
means take safety along with you.
Reynolds du Pont, President of
the Delaware Safety Council re-
minds us that the first rule for
safety on a holiday trip concerns
traveling-if you go in your auto
mobile. The rule is to allow enough
time to get there and get back with
safe driving. Don't hurry. That
doesn't mean poke along. But it does
mean to drive at a safe speed at all
times and never to take a chance at
the top of a hill or on a curve or in
crowded traffic.
Before you start out, continued
Mr.. du POnt, be sure your car is in
good condition for the trip. See
that your tires are good. Check your
steering gear, your lights, brakes,
windshield wiper and other safety
factors of your car. Your garage
will gladly make a thorough safety
check for you.
Au vrov, 90 into OAIo, e%oAo, oo5
other cities, read and obey traffic
signs-they are for your protection.
Heed the speed limits. There are
reasons for them. It's no help on
a holiday to be arrested and hauled
into court in a strange place and
then dig down for the traffic fine.
. For your holiday protection, the
following hints were offered by
Mr.. du Pont: On curves or noun
famous roads and at intersections,
don't pass the car ahead. On wet
pavement slow down and go easy on
the brakes. Slow down and look both
ways at railroad crossings. If you
become sleepy. get off the highway
and take a nap or let someone else
drive Watch out for pedestrians
and animals on the highway.
Oh yes, and before you leave, take
a last look around the house. and
see that everything is in place the
way it should be.DOn't get out on the
road and begin worrying about whe-
ther you did this or that thing that
you planned to do. And be sure you
packed the things you will need
first aid kit, flashiight, sun glasses,
etc.
So happy holiday! If you are in
a hurry, don't forget to start sooner,
and remember drive carefully-the
life you save may be your own!
