Sweden In Au-Out Relief Drive
For Flooded Areas In Holland

Immediately upon receipt of the
news of the catastrophe floods
along the Dutch coast, Sweden, in
common with many other nations,
came to the aid of the stricken
country. The Swedish Red Cross
dispatched its reserve stores of
blankets, underwear, and layettes,
while the armed forces sent 1OO,-
900 blankets, twenty-four rubber
boats, and Catalina plane. From
the "Save-the-Children" Society
came five tons of clothing, pow
dered milk, and infants food. The
Swedish American Line placed
$4,000 kronor at the disposal of
the city of Vlissingen, where the
Lines now motor ship, "Kungs-
holm" is being completed. The
Radio Aid" regularly recurring
program aimed at calling public
attention to deserving needs or
charities and soliciting funds for
them, temporarily has put aside
all domestic appeals and is asking
its listeners to contribute money
for the Dutch cause. On Friday
night; February 10, nearly one
million kronor was collected by
means of the Merry Go-Round"
hour, Sweden's most popular
radio entertainment program. 1t
has been estimated that during
the first two weeks, appeals via
the radio and the Red Cross have
netted in excess of fifteen million
kronor or So million. During
the last week end collections were
taken up at thousands of restau-
rants and hotels all over Sweden.
Enrolling the aid of schools
from Lapland to Skane, the Red
Cross has started a national drive
for funds, and has also begun to
buy winter overcoats for speedy
delivery to the devastated areas,
now in the grip of sub-zero wealth.

Sweden's Cancer Rate
Is Drain On Economy

Cancer diseases are estimated
to cost Sweden some kr. 100, 000,-
900 $3.50, 900, OOO) a year in actual
OUTLAWS and in work time lost,
thus constituting a serious drain
on the nations economy.
Care for the sick and incidental
expenses are calculated to have
cost Kr. 25,OOO,0 900 in 1852, income
from work lost Kr. $4,000, 900 and
losses in productive capacity some

Safety Council Notes

Children, like flowers, come out
in Spring"
With those words, ]. James Ash
ton, Manager Of the Delaware
Safety Council warned local mo-
torists today to be on the alert for
children on bicycles and on foot
But children aren't like flowers
in one respect, he said. Children
don't stay put. In fact, the only
way drivers can really play it safe
is always to expect the unexpected
from youngsters. J. James Ashton
spoke on behalf of the Child Pc
destrian and Bicycle Safety cam
paign being conducted here this
month by the Delaware Safety
Council in cooperation with the
National.
children are always unpredic-
table," he said, "but at this time
of year, when they are released
from school and house, they repre-
sent even a greater hazard"
He especially warned motorists
to be on the alert for children,
either on foot or on a bicycle, tri=
cycle or other vehicle, suddenly
darting into the roadway from
driveways, from behind parked
cars or at intersections. Mr.. Ashton
listed four suggestions for motor
lists to put into practice this month
and every month:
1. Be on the alert IN zones where
children might naturally be expect
ed. Residential areas, school zones,
playground areas, athletic fields.
vacant lOts-these are potential
danger spots.
2. Watch carefully for children
on tricycles, roller skates, wagons,
scooters, bicycles. Unpredictable on
foot, children are even more un-
predictable on wheels.
8. Give the child "brake" and
resist the temptation to honk your
horn. A sudden blast from horn
can throw child into panic.
4. Remember every minute you
are driving-always expect the un-
expected from children.

between women wrestlers ever
waged in Pennsylvania. That was

move far faster and slip from grip
to grip of different character with
greater facility than the male of
the wrestling species.
