NTERLOCKNG DEVICE

New Type Of Safety to Prevent
Automobile Doors From Opening
Development of a new type of
safety interlocking device to pre-
vent automobile doors from being
forced open in the event of collis-
ion has been announced by Fisher
Body Division of General Motors.
James e. Goodman, general man.
ager Of Fisher Body and vice.
president Of General Motors, re-
vealed that the new interIock is
currently being installed in an

The flrst installations began last
May, Mr.. Goodman said. Produc-
ton and installation of the device

followed a long period of develop
ment work and exhaustive test
ing. The new interlock device
consists of a fiange on the door
portion of the locking mechanism
which overlaps another fange on
the striker mounted on the body
pillar. This overlapping or in
terlocking prevents disengage-
ment of the door lock from the
striker, thereby preventing doors
from opening even under severe
driving impacts. Mr. Goodman
stated that exhaustive tests indi-
cate that the new interlock will
prove to be significant advance
in automotive safety, and that its
introduction is the result of a
continuing program devoted to in

Children often are unpredict-

during the stresses and strains of
growing up"
Despite repeated warnings
from parents and from school
people not to jaywalk, or beat the

these warnings and walk or run

PLAN UNITED
NATIONS DAY
State Wide Observance OF
Tenth Anniversary OF
United Nations Day
ON OCTOBER path

Plans for statewide observance
of the tenth anniversary of Unit
ed Nations Day on October "a
were formulated in Legislative
Hall, Dover, last week when 80
organization representatives and
county leaders gathered for a
briefing conference. Governor ].
Caleb Boggs attended the session
as did Mayors Ernest Killen of
Harrington and Herbert Cluley Of
Camden; and Mrs. Jesse Loyen,
state chairman for the observ-
ance, said she was well pleased
with the response to the confer
ence. There is need for under
standing of the importance of the
United Nations" Governor Boggs
said in his remarks opening the
session, land I believe the best
way to make progress in that re-
spect is to have people fully in
formed. There seems TO be a
growing demand on the part of
citizens to know more about the
United Nations, and I hope that
through this tenth observance you
will be able to point out the UN's
accomplishments. This will be of
great mutual help to us ALL" Mrs.
Harmon Money, president of the
Delaware Federation of Women's
Clubs introduced Theodore Smith,
executive director, the United
States Committee for the United
Nations, who Immediately began
the brieing session. Mr.. Smith
pointed out that his associations
job was to disseminate factual in
formation on the UN and to see
that this was distributed and
properly interpreted over the wild
est possible field. He pointed out
pieces Of helpful literature which
community committees may se-
cure to aid them in planning their
observances. Mr.. Smith stressed
the point that total participation
by the United States in all UN
programs is costing the taxpay-
er approximately SAC per capita
annually. He said this investment
in peace was quite a contrast to
the 1888 per capita spent to wage
World War III. One of the sug-
gestions made by Mr.. Smith as a
practical way to observe October
"a would be to plant a tree in
public square or park, and place
at its foot a suggested plaque,
which the United States Commit
tee has available. He suggested
that ten-year-old children whose
birthdays fall on October "a could
be used in dedicating the tree as
an act of faith and an expression
of hope for the future. Jack
Smyth, Kent County chairman of
the American Association for the
United Nations, introduced Will
liam Cowan of the Foreign Policy
Association, New York, who out
lined briefly how his organization

United Nations. Cowan called
upon all groups to take more in
telligent participation in discus
sions of political questions both
foreign and domestic, pointing out
that this is a democratic country
and everyone has a right to self
expression. However, he said by
intelligent participation in for
ums of all kinds the State De-
partment and other governmental
agencies would develop a much
better sounding board on popular
public opinion.
Mrs. Ruth N. Cam, publicity
chairman for UN Day, presented
Mrs. Edith H. Bohn, Wilmington
Public Schools, who for the Sec
ond year is chairman of the Will
mington Mayors Committee for
the observance of UN Day.
Mrs. Bohn called for more i'm
aginative interpretations of the
United Nations so that greater
understanding would come to all
groups who should be interested
in international relations. She
cited ways and means through
which UN policies and program
ming could be made more accept
able to the entire population.
Mrs. Loven presented her three
county chairmen for UN Day,
Mrs. John G. Leach, New Castle;
Mrs. John e. Burris. Kent; and
Mrs. Milton Manlove, Sussex
County.
General discussion and a ques-
ton period brought the session to

Chevrolet's new "Turbo-Fire V8'' packs
Sunday punch for safer passing that no
car in Chevrolet's field can match!
The proof was burned into the sands of
Daytona Beach at the MASCARA trials
earlier this year. In acceleration tests,
Chevrolet simply walked away from
everything else in its field. PluS-and get
this-all the high-priced cars except one!
Surprising? Not when you consider that
this beauty's been cleaning up on all
corners in short track stock car events
this season. That's where acceleration
really pays of, as well as handling ease
and cornering ability-things that mean
safer, happier highway driving. Come on
in and let a new Chevrolet show you
what we mean.

PO. 1873

awarded "for keeps" to the school
who first wins three victories
since it was put up in 1853. And
Shaw defeated Collinwood both
that year and last year.
The task will not be an easy
one. Last Friday the Railroaders
held the powerful Warren squad,
always contender for state rec
ognition, to a slender TO win.
When the fleet Collinwood backs
line up sideways and start going
thataway in hurry, they are
never easy to stop. A real Donny-
brook is in prospect for local foot
ball spectators, adults and students
alike, when these two perennial
rivals line up against each other
on Friday evening at 8:15 at
Shaw Stadium.
Shaw's opener against the West
High Cowboys last Friday, which
Shaw won 1871, showed Coach Bob
McGraw some promising new tai
ent for the long campaign ahead.
The running of Bob Cipriani, Joe
Russo, Harold Klug, and Tom
Matte-including the latter's forty
yard scamper past everybody for
a touchdown in the third quarter
and the sturdy line play of Al
Cefaratti, Tom Freitag, and Gary
Lotus stood out in a game not un-
marred by fumbles and intercept
tions. The opener served notice to
Shaw's future opponents that the
Cards are once more in business.
Their game might "open up" still
more tomorrow night in the pos
sible return of injured Seniors
who did not even dress last week.
However, Coach McGraw is not
saying whether Rogers, Spaulding
and Rowan would be available or
not.
Come and see, won't you? Over
the years, games between Shaw
and Collinwood have frequently
been sellouts. An early arrival and
prompt seating are recommended.
Meanwhile. Shaw's future Lake
Erie League opponents also open
ed their gridiron seasons last
week, in some Instances explo-
sively. Shaker Heights. for in
stance in a 500, annihilated
unhappy South High-who pre-
sumably also had eleven men on
the field at all times, with Cor
man going for three touchdowns
and Feies for two. Heights wore
down st. Joseph, Thursday night,
winning 1910, although the Tigers
total yardage of 239 showed a
greater superiority than the
score indicated. Lakewood defeated
John Adams 1876 Friday, and
Parma and Euclid took losses to
non-League teams, powerful
Rhodes defeating Parma 60 and
Akron Garfield overpowering Eu-
cid 43-0.

Just What Time
Is 1t, Mister?

Turn backward, turn backward
oh time in your flight" wrote the
poet. And that believe it or not
was years before the poet or any
one else had heard of Daylight
Saving Time.
If the poet lived among us today,
he would nonchantly turn the old
timepiece an hour ahead on the last
Sunday in April and presto, Day
light saving Time would enter.
Along about bedtime on the Satur-
day before the last Sunday in
September he would as nonchantly
turn the old time-piece back an
hour, and presto, it would be East
ern Standard time in these parts.
There is going to be an awful
mixup of time hereabouts for the
next five weeks or so. Our neigh
Dor to the east, New York State
has such a fondness for DIST that
it has decided to keep it on for
a while. TV fans are in for it.
One casualty among the local
stations is Pooch Parade. There
just isn't going to be any until
EST can tick across the border.
Don't know what the lost dogs
wanting to be adopted are going
to do. Well every dog has his day.
Gee, it's certainly something
to lire so fast that we can't keep
up with the sun without changing
the clock.

S. Robert Fraser, Shaw Band
director land one of the hardest
workers in this entire operation)
has already placed an order for a

problem? A uniform can be worn
if shabby and patched as are most
of the 15-year old suits on hand,
but when they are too small, just
nothing can be done with them.
"Today's young people are GER
tainly larger than the young people
of the same age 15 years ago"

especially true of the shoulders of
both boys and girls"

block of granite on the line all
season. He played two years of
football at Kirk, and was also a
