Officer Cillett Addresses
ALI Students At Douglass

Officer Howell Gillett of the
Florida Highway Patrol, southern
division Of the Safety Education
Department Of Public Safety with
headquarters in Miami, Florida,
gave two addresses to the pupils
OF Douglass High School Tuesday,
including grades 1-12, in the aud
itorium. -"
Officer Gillett reveiled some
startling facts on accidents and
their causes emphasizing the fact
that accidents are not acts of God
but are the direct results Of care
lessness on the part of people.
His particular emphasis was on
automobile and traffic accidents.
He revealed the startling fact Of
many automobile accidents that
occur in Monroe County alone,
listing as the chief causes: ex-
cessive speed, drunken drivers,
out-passing, and driving on the
wrong side Of the road.
He said that knowledge is the
only thing needed by a few good
citizens to allow others to live. He
also listed the days on which most
accidents occur in the descending
order-Saturday, Sunday, Friday
and Monday. He said that Tues
day and Wednesday are the safest
days on which to drive.
The most dangerous hours ac-
cording to Officer Gillett are be-
tween 400 and 500 pm.
After many fact statements he
left a thought "What Can ! Do
That Will Make the World Bet
ter Place in Which to Live?"
A movie was also shown in this
connection.
Through research in National
Education Week the pupils found
out the following facts:
The United States has higher
accidental death per 100000 popu-
lation than all but a very few
countries. This high death rate
Is due largely to the fact that the
nation has more automobiles, rail-
roads, electrical appliances, and
other machines than any other
machines than any other country.
How can we prevent accidents?
First, we can make our surround
ings safer. We can reduce haz-
ards inspublic buildings, Streets
transportation agencies, factories,
and mines. Second, we can all
develop safety alertness" by fol
lowing the rules laid dowr.
Many accidents are caused in
directly by drivers who are care
full Of their own safety but in
considerate Of others. If an auto
ist persistently straddles two lanes
Of highway, he forces those who
want to pass into a dangerous.
situation. And the man who blocks

Wortime Romance
When Bob Gunderson, the
struggling young lawyer to whom
she was engaged, went to Fort
Leavenworth. Kans., as a private
in mid 1941, she went to visit him
with thousands of admonitions
from family and friends about
don't do anything foolish.
They were married nonethe-
less, and she got a job as head
of the radio writing department
of a Kansas City advertising
agency.
Then came the farewell
scenes" she recalls. Bob and I
had at least 10 fearful partings
practically every week end.
They were terribly dramatic. We
would have a wonderful evening
good dinner, see show--then
say good-by, both convinced that
this would be the last time.
Then one week end he walked
in in mufti. They had trans
ferred him to intelligence work"
/ Her husband did eventually
serve overseas, taking part in the
Battle of the Bulge, and that re-
minded her of another moment
of high drama - his return
home"
BY that time she was working
at Station WOW, Omaha, as
continuity writer and broadcast
er on women's subjects.
"All these things had been
coming across my desk about
how a woman should be pre-
pared to find her husband diff
ferent when he came home from
the war. Don't be unhappy If
he isn't the same they said.
$50 I braced myself, ready to
be terribly patient and under
standing. Then Bob walked in
one day, just as nonchalant as
you please. He hadn't changed q
bit. It was terribly Debating"
They moved from Omaha to
Rapid City in 1947. where she
again went to work for a radio
station, this time KOTA.
In 1949 they bought a house
typical postwar FILA asbestos
shingle bungalow" - where they
like to entertain friends at lap
suppers and her husband likes
to "beat out boogie" on the
piano.
T In 1851 she began working for
Eisenhower because of "a feeling

His golfing days here are
spent at the. Burning Tree
Country Club Of which he has
been q member for many
years. although his first les.
sons were taken just q few
years ago at the Chevy Chase
Club.
Against his wishes, the
Burning Tree Club this year
fixed up a special room for
his private use, but to pacify
the President they also moved
in few friends lockers.
Among these is that Of his
assistant, Sherman Adams, as
well as other personal asso-
ciates.
He thoroughly enjoys the
game and it can take his mind
off weighty matters. One
day when he was studying a
7-foot putt, he suddenly
looked up with a smile: This
is certainly better than study
ing the international situa-
ton"
These few hours of relaxa-
tion often are costly since it
will mean that the President
will have to work late into the
night to make up for the lost
time.

up golf just after the war,

took up flying, and when he
was about As got his pilots IL
cense.
AS for his painting, the
President is now working on
one of his favorite subjects.
The picture at Camp David
previously reported to be of an
undisclosed nature is of the
Presidents daughter-in-law
and his three grandchildren.
The first lady of the land
has a very quick temper that
commands the respect Of the
President himself. Her good
disposition returns at the same
rate of speed. Typical Of her
.houghtfulness was an in
stance when she saw a female
reporter cycling her costume for

paper. She whispered with a
little giggle, "It's black, not
navy blue"
Mrs. Eisenhower is super
stitious, and always wears
something green when she
starts on a trip. She is a
mastermind with menus, but
doesn't like to cook, even to
boil water"
The Presidents wife is very
close to her mother. Mrs. John
S. Doud, and they spend q
great deal of time together,
chatting or looking at televi-
sion. Mrs. Doud is just II years
older than her famous daugh-
ter, having been a real child
bride of Is.
First Engagement Ring
Mrs. Eisenhower wears her
first engagement ring, which
is a full sized West Point ring
and not the usual miniature,
on her right hand now. Her
wedding band is platiaum with
diamonds set half way around
1t and with it she wears a large
clustered diamond ring that
the President gave her in the
'3Os.
President Eisenhower is

his white tie and tails and she
also remarks favorably or
otherwise on his selection Of

of his graduation from West
Point in 1915.
It is the first one the Pres

were married a year after he
graduated) and is always
found in her bedroom.

A dynamic young housewife
career woman from South Dako-
ia has taken over the job of
lining UP the Women's vote for
an Eisenhower Congress-"
She is Mrs. Barbara Gunder-
son of Rapid City, S. Dak., who
was named last week as CO.
chairman of the Citizens for Eli
senhower Congressional Com
mittee.
Tall, with long hair pulled
back in a low chignon and pale
blue eyes, the South Dakotan
has a pleasantly low voice
(Which she uses at the rate of
about 200 words a minute), an
enthusiastic manner and a per-
sonality smile that lights up like
neon sign.
4 Only 81, she is typical of many
younger people who became in
terested in politics for the first
time in 1952-drawn, apparently,
by the Eisenhower name and
personality.
The committee, which was re-
activated this year to carry on
the work done so successfully in
1852 by the Citizens for Eisen-
hover Nixon, this time will try
to recreate the crusading spirit
and persuade voters-particu-
larly independents-that they
must give the President a Re-
publican Congress.
Obligation to Ike
81 think those of us who helped
talk Gen. Eisenhower into run
ming in 1852 and then worked
for him and voted for him have
a real obligation to give him a
Republican Congress he can work
with this time," she declares.
$50 many people don't realize
that the executive is hamstrung
and chained unless he has a
Congress that will carry out his
program. The ability to follow
through is the mark of ma
ture person. The Citizens are
facing q test of maturity this
November"
The problem is more difficult
than it was in 1852, when they
had the Eisenhower glamour to
sell. the new co-chairman ad-
mitS.
She prefers the word person
ality to glamour" however.
Its sort of like saying Abraham
Lincoln or Thomas Jefferson had
glamour. You just wouldn't say
it," she declares.
Although relatively new to
politics, Mrs. Gunderson brings
to her new task a long back
ground of experience in selling
just about every known product" Z"
