Over 1900 People
Killed Yearly In Auto
Train Collisions

Over 1900 people are killed and
more than 1000 are injured each
year in approximately 1000 col
lisions Of automobiles with rail-
road trains.
OF these accidents, 40 per cent
occur in spite OF closed gates,
watchmen, or special signals
warning of the trains approach.
Three times as many such acci-
dents occur per hundred specially
protected crossings as occur per
hundred crossings marked only
with traditional "cross-buck' en-
biem.
The specially protected cross
ingS, of course. average much
heavier in volume of traffic, but
their high accident ratio reveals
the amazing capacity for needless
driving which makes the Ameri-
can motorist the despair of safety
engineers.
The four chief causes of such
accidents. according to highway
authorities. are:
l. Simply taking it for granted
that there is no train coming.
2. Paying no attention to Stop
and warning signs.
3. Trying to beat the train to
the crossing when a train is in
sight or signals are flashing.
4. Starting across after a train
has gone by. without looking fol

Shoes Child Wears
Determine Health
And Comfort Loter

The shoes your child wears now
will determine his foot health and
comfort in years to come.
According to Julia McIver. State
College extension clothing spe-
cialist, shoes are actually one of
the biggest items in a child
wardrobe
Many parents admit - often
too late - that they didn't real
ize their children were wearing
shoes too short. They just did not
understand that there is a foot
change every two months for
children from two to six years OF
age. There is a change every
months when your children are
from six to ten and a change ev-
cry three to four months for boys
end girls ten to twelve years Of
age. And the teen-agers - those
from 13 to Is - will have foot
changes every four to six months
Actually feet continue to grow un-
til the age of 20.
You can't be too cautious il
buying shoes for your children,
explains Miss McIver.

A Country Doctor and Hymn

k6THE STAR sPANGLED
BANNER" was written
40 years ago next Tuesday
because Francis Scott Key did
q kind deed for a country
doctor.
DR.. william Beanes, who is
buried in Upper Marlboro,
Md, has other claims to fame
as a Revolutionary War pa
triot and a leading physician,
but his friendship with the
author of our national an

in American history.
Seeking Beanes' release
from captivity, Key visited
the British feet in September,
1914. The fleet lay off Balti-
more. preparing to lombard
Fort McHenry and pave the
way for the city's capture.
Beanes' patriotism had led
to his arrest on August 26,

veterans of the Napoleonic
Wars had scattered the Amer

The ceremonies marked the first

In describing the red, white and

discourse reached them by means
of special publication"
In his message to fhe Joint
Congress OF Rsdiolosists-Elee-
biologists of Latin Culture, and
fhe italian Society Of Medical
RadioIosy, the Pope reminded
that christS cures included
cleansing and curing souls as
well as bodies. He urged fhe rs-
biologists 70 extend their action
TO the moral level.
(Radiology is the science of IA
dioactive substances and x-rays,
and their application as in the
diagnosis and cure of disease)
"The meaning of a human des-
tiny is not limited to the enjoy
ment or recovery of perishable
health: it extends infinitely, even
to the unutterable realities OF the
other world" the Pope said.
How TO accept sickness and
suffering, and how to profit from
them are problems which face
every sick person, the Pontiff
continued.
IF you are willing TO help an
swer these questions you won't
have to fear any more the failure
of your efforts in the medical
sphere, nor even the misunder-
standing or opposition of those who
uphold different methods" he said.
Pope Plus told the radiologists
their role is mobile among the Ia
bors on behalf of humanity, and
We readily congratulate you and
extend you the encouragement you
can rightly expect from Us"
Greets Faithful
In his appearance at his study
window, the Pope greeted the faith
full who had come from special de-
votions in ST. Peters Basilica, sta.
ton church for the day. This cere-
mony had concluded an entire day
of devotions for the Church of Sill

T.. Reich Reds
Tighten Hold
Over Schools

BERLIN-(NC)-The communist
regime of Eastern Germany - now
granted full sovereignty" by its
Soviet masters is taking new
measures TO strengthen its control
over schools.
There are, indications that the
regime-detested by the great ma
lority of the 18 million people un.
der its rule-feels it has not been
rigorous enough in the field of pub.
lie education and is now determin.
ed TO bring schools into full con.
formity with the communist pat
tern.
The regime has issued a decree
declaring that the aim of all edu.
cation is the training of commun-
lists. 1t denounces those parents
and teachers who still cling to the
'reactionary" belief that party
politics must be kept out of schools.
Teachers are being subjected
to the closest scrutiny. AS a result
many have been dismissed while
others retired voluntarily because
they found it impossible to con.
tinue working under the present
conditions. Particular suspicion is
directed toward those who still
teach religion in schools.
This renewed pressure on the
schools is part of the systematic
campaign to make Eastern Ger,
many a 100-per cent communist
satellite state.
