RESTORATION WORK ON
OLD COLLINS HOME

Columbia. = The old historical
collins Home" on Lake Phelps is
being restored to conform with the
architecture of colonial days. Work
has begun, and it will be closed to
visitors while in the process of
restoration.
This restoration is being done in
keeping with the restoration of the
grounds, which are being laid off
according to former plan. Brick
walks and old foundations, found
two feet under the top soil, have
been excavated. This being por-
ton of Pettigrew State Park, the
work is being done by the state.
Although the home was in good
repair, having been maintained by
the Farm Security Administration,
bath rooms had been put in, walls
had been moved, and some of the
colonial marble mantels had been
taken out because of breakage.
These mantels are to be repaired
and placed as originally.

Monthly Report
system For All
City Departments

The policy of requiring monthly
reports from these certain depart
ments within the municipal govern
ment, is now being broadened to
include reports from all depart
ments in the city, announces G
T. Apthorp. Finance Director. Ap-
thorp terms the new procedure an
other step in good housekeeping
The new reports must be on his
desk on the 18th day Of the month
Heretofore monthly reports have
been required from the Police, Fire
Finance, Welfare and Waste collec-
ton divisions. To be added are re-
ports from the Service. Electrical,
Engineering and building, Parks
and Fairgrounds, Health and
Water department. Information on
personnel and rolling stock will
comprise other reports.
Simplified to quickly indicate the
major information for the period,
the reports will also carry compari-
son figures from the previous
month, and the corresponding
period in the previous year. Use of

February Is
Hazard Month
For Motorists

An average Of five Ohioans died
each day in traffic during Febru-
airy of 1852. Chief of Police H. S.
Weaver said that this figure is
considerably higher than Janu-
ary's as or March's A deaths
per day.
Mileage travelled in wint e T
months is a good deal less than in
the other seasons so it is probable
that February traffic on a mileage
basis is close to the most danger
Gus period of the year.
One third of the February traf-
fic victims are pedestrians; a
fourth of them die in collisions.
Ohio State Safety Council data in
dicates that about four out of ten
pedestrians killed were crossing
streets betwee intersections.
Many persons do not seem to rea-
liZe how rapidly an auto at legal
speeds can cover distance. A car
can travel the average city block
while one walks from curb to
curb on streets Of ordinary width.
Yet it is not unusual to see a per-
son start across the street when
there is a car moving toward them
in that block.
Frequently motorist steps
from the left hand door of his car.
and heads for the far side of the
street without a glance to see if
there is any other vehicle nearby.
Others step from behind a stand
ing car directly into the path of
moving traffic. If you are unable
to see up and down the block, it
is certain that no driver in that
block can see you.
