Less Accidents
Aim For Drive

Schools Out has a familiar
sound to all of us, young and old,
at this time of the year. 1t measn
that for another thhree months the
KIDS are free to have a good time
from the worries of Schoolwork.
Their youthful exuberance will be
bubbling over after nine months
IN school and in the excitement
of having fun the kids will forget
many of the traffic rules which
they have been taught"
These were the words of Mr..
w. w. Akers, Jr., President of the
Motor Transportation Association
of South Carolina, as he opened
the Associations Courtesy and
Safety drive to lower the number
of traffic accidents in which chill
dren are involved.
The accident rate among chill
dren is always higher during warm
weather, said Mr. Akers. because
OF the number of children playing
in the street. 1t is up to the motor
list to lower this accident rate by
being more aler and better Ire
pared to take defensive action
when driving in areas where chill
dren might be playing.
Mr.. Akers listed the following
rules which trucking companies
require their drivers to follow
and suggested that all motorists
use this guide in their driving:
/. Slow down in playground
areas at all times.
,. Drive slowly and be prepared
20 take defensive action when
driving in areas where kids are
playing in or adjacent to the
street.
3. Give. kids the right-of-way-
you can eliminate the worry of
children daShing in front OF YOU
If you stop and give them the go
ahead sign.
4. Drive slowly in built up areas
housing developments, small
towns and apartments are a sign
OF children in the arcade ready
for them.
5. Steer clear of bicyclists-they
may lose control and fall in your
path.
We oil know that children act
impulSively and are not always
| cautious around traffic. Every
motorist has moral obligation to
exercise due caution when driving
in areas where children are al
play.

and county jobs. A portion Of the
women who needed work TO sup
plement the family income did
day work or domestic work UNI
I'll the depression hit and then
many Negro women found WPA
projects paying better wages for
much less drudgery than the
household jobs they had been
working at for very small wages.
II was the defense and war
period In Minnesota as elsewhere
where the Negroes potentiality as
a factory worker was discovered.
The first break came In the Twin
Cities at the Twin Cities Ordnance
Plant where the plant operator.
Charles L. Horn. ignored Twin
city industrial patterns which had
kept factory and assembly work
''out Of bounds" for Negroes and
proceeded to employ st. Paul and
Minneapolis Negroes in the plant
wherever their aptitude and abll-
ity prepared them to work. AS Is
known the Minneapolis Spokes-
man and the 81. Paul Recorder to-
gether with the Urban Leagues,
cooperated with Mr.. Horn.
By the middle OF the war other
industrial firms feeling the pinch
Of reduced manpower looked long
ingiy at the Negro labor market
the best OF which was already
employed by Federal Cartridge
Corp. at New Brighton. There
were some firms like Minneapolis
Moline, the Milwaukee r. r. shops
and others that had a few Ne
groes since World War I and had
kept them.
BY the time the war neared its
end the milling industry, from
which custom had excluded Ne
groes, was hiring them. Firms
like seeger Refrigerator in st.
Paul. d. w. Oman & Sons In Min
neapolis, the Minneapolis Honey
well Co, which is perhaps the
largest employer Of Negroes In
the state today and a number OF
other firms using factory type
labor had improved their hiring
policies.
At the close Of the war the
street car company which had not
before employed colored trainmen
opened up jobs. Last year Twin
City Negro transit employees be-
gan to drive buSses as the TIC.
Rapid Transit firm converted to
buses.
