in Delaware and stated that when
"a young driver has received a
driver training certificate he or
she is accorded the same rate as
adult drivers, in the company he
represents. The speaker discussed
the six Murderous Beliefs" with
which many drivers seek to ex-
cuse the great number of acci-
dents. Emphasizing the fallacy of
such concepts, he named them as
% "The Other Fellow Concept"
where the accident always happens
to the other fellow; (2) Your
Number Is Up" concept that acci-
dents are inevitable when time is
right; (3) "The Lave Of Averages"
conception that accidents are due
to the law of averages; (4 THE
Price of Progress" concept; 60
"The Spirit of '76" concept, that
accident prevention is sissy and
contrary to the adventurous spirit
of our forefathers and Co THE
Acts of God" concept. He urged
greater understanding of safety
rules and strict observance of laws
on the highways.

The committee in charge of Car
ey's Methodist Camp, near Mills

day to discuss recent damages in
fiicted on cottages on the camp
grounds of one of the few remain
ing religious camps in Delaware.
The committee, of which the Rev.
Clarence Wilkins, pastor of the
Whitesville charge, is the chair
man, voted to offer a reward for
information leading to the appre-
henson of the person or persons
responsible for the damages to ten
cottages. The damages included
broken windows, damage window
frames and the tearing down of
porch pillars and other supports.
An estimate of total damage was
not available,
The damages were discovered on
Saturday of last week and pre-
sumably had been inflicted on the
previous night. The matter was
reported to the state police who

The committee is considerably
concerned since much expense has

Widespread TB In
Alaska Is Threat
To us. Health

LOS ANGELES, R - Wide
spread tuberculosis in Alaska and
other Pacific areas stands as an
indirect threat to the health of
people in the United States, a
leader in the fight against the
disease reported Monday.
Another cause for concern, Dr.
Howard w. Bosworth told the
National Tuberculosis Association,
is that the number of people who
contract the disease is not de-
creasing, even in the United
States itself.
DR.. Bosworth, who is medical
director of Bosworth Sanitarium,
Los Angeles, said the increasing
travel between the United States
proper and the tuberculosis-rid-
den places such as Alaska, Japan,
Korea and the Philippines makes
people here subject to exposure
from without.
DR.. Edward 7. Blomquist, Of
the Public Health Service Arctic
Health Research Center at An
chorage called the TB problem in
Alaska tragic.
Among the natives the death
rate from TB is 600 for every
100000 persons. Among the white
population here, only 37.2 per
100000.
In sections where the native
population is exclusively Eskimo
one out Of every 10 persons has
active or probably active tuber-
culosis. At present there are only
600 hospital beds for tuberculosis
in the territory, but an increase to
900 beds is planned by 1854.
