Fewer Accidents on the 18th than

Afraid to start a trip on Friday
the 18th? Actually. says the Natl
onal Safety Council, fewer people
are killed or injured in traffic acc
idents on Friday the 18th than on
Saturday the 14th-for the simple
reason that there is more traffic
ON Saturday than on Friday. "Acc-
ident Facts" the Councils statis-
tical yearbook, which is just off
the press, shows that 81 per cent
of the 32,500 fatal motor vehicle
accidents last year occurred on

SAFEGUARD YOUR TREES
Beautiful Trees ON Golf Courses are
Storm Peril

Nature is likely to do some
divot-digging of its own on golf
courses. Rain-harried players had
better hurry to the low ground
and away from hilltop trees when
Jupiter Pluvius starts shooting his
bolts from the blue. No tree is
immune to lighting, and If the trees
on your favorite course are un-
rodded, skeedaddle to the valleys
and away from the hills. Golfers
are particularly vulnerable TO
bolts, according to Mar
tin L. Davey, Jr., who heads the
nations largest tree expert con-
Germ. They'll congregate under the
biggest trees when it rains. And it
is just those woody giants that are
most likely to be hit, particularly
if they're on high ground. but 9TH
er conditions like depth of roots,
of bark and
wetness of soil also enter into it.
Careful study of these factors Of
ten makes it possible to provide
golf courses with reasonable pro-
lection by rodding key trees. OF
course the danger extends beyond
the links. More than 400 electrocu-
tions by lightning were repor%~d
by the National Safety Council last
year. Other extensive damage was
caused by resulting fires. Sparing
the rod can spoil the tree and en-
danger lives and property, too. In
any case, whether on the golf
course or elsewhere, be wary of
trees during an electrical storm.
It's better to get soaked than
shocked.

CHILD SAFETY
PROGRAM OPEN
Child Pedestrian and Bicycle
Safety Current Program
of Safety Council
APPEALS TO PARENTS

Have you ever seen a car jump
the curb, run up into somebody's
back yard and knock down a child
who was playing there?" Francis
Jamison, Assistant Manager of
the Delaware Safety Council ask
ed this strange question today and
then quickly supplied the answer.
"You probably haven't" he said,
"and the chances are you never
will. But every day many people
see automobiles kill youngsters
who are playing in the street" Mr..
Jamison used this illustration to
stress the Importance of keeping
children out of the street, point
that is being emphasized in the
current Child Pedestrian and Bicy-
Gle Safety program of the Della
ware Safety Council and the Ma
tional Safety Council.
Warn Children Repeatedly
when we allow our children to
play in the street, we're throwing
them right into dangers path" he
told parents. '"Twenty-three thous-
and children under Is years old
were injured or killed while play
ing in the roadway in 1852"
Youngsters themselves don't real
ize the danger, he said. They must
be warned repeatedly until staying
out of the street has become a
habit. Even then, he reminded, in
the excitement of play they some
times forget. According to MIR.
Jamison, crossing the street in
midblock, darting out from be-
hind parked cars, and crossing at
intersections against signals are
other practices that cost many
youngsters their lives.
Appeals To Parents
Pointing out that children are
more likely to learn by example
than by precept, he appealed to
parents to teach traffic safety to
their youngsters by their own safe
behavior in traffic. He listed the
following as rules that parents
might well adopt. ID Walking or
driving, always set a good exam
pie for children by obeying all
traffic signs and signals and OBJ
serving safety rules. CD Cooperate
with schools and traffic officials in
teaching children safe traffic atti-
tudes and habits. (3.) See that
children play only in approved play
areas. (4.) Teach children safe use
of bicycles and outdoor toys.

Industry May Back
Bid 10 Postpone Cut
In Business Taxes
sy The Associosed Press

A hint was dropped yesterday
that an important segment Of
industry may support President
Eisenhower IL, as expected, he
asks postponement Of the sched-
uled April / cut In business
taxes.
The question has been under
study by the Tax Committee OF
the Commerce Departments
Business Advisory Council. The
council. made UP of the heads
Of more than 100 Of the coun-
try's biggest corporations, ended
a two-day closed meeting with
Secretary of Commerce Weeks
yesterday.
The BAG chairman, Harold
Boeschenstein, president of
Owens-C Corning Fiberglass Corp,
Toledo, told reporters that many
viewpoints were represented in
the council. But when asked
whether BAG would back up a
proposal to defer the tax cut, he.
predicted:
you're likely to get a more
statesmanlike attitude here than
from some groups"
Mr.. Boeschenstein said the
BAG tax committee is very
capable, very knowledgeable, +"
and could be depended on to
weigh the Governments revenue
needs as well as the self -interest
of business.
Gen. Eisenhower is expected to
ask Congress next month to re-
tain the present So per cent
corporate income tax rate, in
stead of letting 1t drop auto
maticalfy to At per cent this
spring. The administration faces
q SAT billion deficit for this
fiscal year, ending June 80, and
Secretary of the Treasury Hum
phrey disclosed this week that
another deficit appears inevitable
In fiscal 1856.
The BAG has thrown its sup
port to Gen. Eisenhower before,
in similar case. In 1853 1t in
dorsed his plea for extension Of
the excess profits tax until De-
cember 81.

Sinking Baltimore Street
Has More Caye-ins
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 10.-A sec
ton of the 600 block Of Clement
street, where cracked building
walls and yaWning holes In the
ground caused four houses to be
torn down in 1851, caved In
again yesterday.
One depression, 6 feet deep
and 10 feet wide, was discovered
in the morning and another,
about 4 feet wide and only
inches deep, appeared later In
the day.
William L. Chilcote, deputy
city highways engineer, decided
they offer no immediate danger
to the few remaining houses in
the block.
There have been numerous
theories as to the cause of the
cave-ins. The most prevalent is
that excavations for sand used
in the city's glass making in
dustry left underground caverns
long before the block was de-
veloped.

you and to have you as friend
But DR.. Elson, who came here
eight years ago. told the new
corners that there is mo more
challenging city in all the world
than Washington. Not having
a mayor or town council, the
sense Of civic responsibility is
not as strong and intimate as
In other metropolitan areas. But
the city belongs to every one,
and very American should have
great pride in it because Wash

politan area--it is a national
symbol. Every minister should
find 1t a great challenge"

Washington as their home while
here.

we are not staying here for a
little while but we have come
together because God has sent
us to Washington and this is our
home" Mr.. LEWIS, a member of

Committee, declared. II think
as pastors we should forget be-
ing unsettled in a transient city
and settle down to work for God
here in the sense or providing
well-balanced home environ
