viii be conquest of the growing toll
of human lives and property loss
resulting from traffic accidents.
Last year (1953) a total OF SS,5OO
men, women and children were
killed in traffic mishaps. and the
economic loss, including property
damage, hospital and meuIcaI ex-
pense and other costs, was placed
at 4 billion dollars. Most of it could
have been prevented.
The Presidents Action Commit

initiative in a war Of prevention
by setting aside December 18th as
Safe-Driving Day when drivers
and pedestrians alike Will be called
upon to observe all written laws
governing traffic, and the unwrit-
ten laws of courtesy on the streets
and highways.
Strict observance Of Safe-Driving
Day by all drivers and pedestrians
viii without doubt cut the traffic
toll for that day If the toll can be
reduced on one day of the year by
strict observance and enforcement
plus coUrtesies it can be held to a
minimum on all other days Of the
year by the same methods.
Safe-Driving Day could well be
extended into a Safe-DriVing year

new idea in steel
Like most good ideas, this one is pretty simple,
But it wasn't an easy one to carry out. For
Chevrolet and General Motors set out with the
idea Of building the first low-priced car that
would do all these things:
bring you the very freshest and finest styling to
be had
. bring you the most ad0ancsd engine design and
engineering features
. bring you the kind Of performance and the k1na
of ride that haze neUer been available before in
a LO1O-bricsd car.
. bring you the highest quality Of manufacture
and Materials
All this in Chevrolet's price field? That did take
some doingl And isn't it logical that only
Chevrolet and General Motors have the people,
the skills the resources and facilities, to carry
j out this exciting new concept? Here is how this
new Chevrolet changes all your own ideas
about cars!

$4,000 IN STATE BENEFIT

"When the monthly old-age and

delivered in Delaware this week,
practically all retired persons and
all families on the rolls should
have found their payments in
creased. These increases, which
range from very modest amounts
to individual members of some
families, up to as much as $31 so
to some widows with several chill

ments to the Social Security Act,
signed into law by President Els

ing monthly social security pay
ments in the State will continue

needed to take no action to Sc
cure the higher payments. All
changes have been made automat-
ically, in a huge bookkeeping op-
Grafton carried out in the several

previous minimum payment of

up to $50. The highest monthly

$98.50. Comparable increases were
made to other retired workers.
Dependents and survivors now
receiving monthly payments have
received proportionate increases. ."
Milbourer declared. The largest
total payment to a family was
raised from $168.50 to 5000. AS
before, however, the largest
monthly benefit payable to a fam
lily cannot be more than 80 per-
cent of its insured workers aver

KICKOFF VFW
SHRINE DRIVE
State VFW Hopes to Be First
To Raise Quota For Ma
tiOnal Shrine
IN WASHINGTON, d. C.

Members of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars in Delaware hope
to establish another first" for
the First State, by raising their
quota for a national VFW shrine
in Washington, ID. c., which would
also serve as headquarters for
activities of the national organi-
zation. Department Commander
Miles L. Frederick said that Del
aware posts and auxiliaries ac-
cepted the responsibility at the
recent national encampment in
Philadelphia to raise it's share of
the proposed s1,500,00O building
which will eventually stand on
Capitol Hill. The VFW will do
this in addition to carrying out
its traditional rehabilitation pro-
gram on the state level and con-
tributing to the VFW National
Home for widows and orphans at
Eaton Rapids, Michigan, the only
institution of it's kind in the ma
ton. 1--WE have been informed
Frederick said, that we are the
first department in the country to
formulate plans for a concentrat-
ed campaign, and should we be
successful, the Department of
Delaware VFW, as part of the
First State, will be upholding an
old tradition" Since the organi-
zation depended largely on bingo
operations in past years to main
tain their rehabilitation program,
and this avenue has been closed
until some favorable action is
taken by the General Assembly,
Frederick said that for the first
time a public appeal for support
will be made. 1--WE feel that
many of our old friends who sup
ported us for years at our Sat
urday night parties will want
part in our campaign, and so we
will open a drive to gain our OBJ
jectives, Frederick continued. He
pointed out that the memerbship
itself will do its part in addition
to whatever support it receives
through its appeal. Frederick said
that in each appeal letter sent
through the mails there is also
a Prayer for Peace" which
he said is most appropriate
to have in every Delaware
home. "We came across this
prayer for peace, and We felt
that in these times, of domestic,
national and international strife"
he said, "the reading of this item
might cause people to reflect upon
their rights and duties as good

citizens. We hope that we win be
performing a community service
by sending this prayer for peace
to Delawareans." It was pointed
out that the VFW, which fosters
a policy of first-class citizenship
for everyone, hopes to house its
activities in the proposed Wash
ington Building, which will be so
designed that it will become a
to all who served their
nation in uniform in time of a
emergency.

One Of the major changes was
in the prize distribution setup,

decisions on whether golfers

these will come later, if at all.
