They Kept A, Secret /!

When Captain and Mrs. Carl
Alamo wrote last week to her
mother, Mrs. Celia Carter of West
Third-st, that they'd be home in
a few months from Yokihama, Ja-
pan, they didn't say word that
other Big News was forthcoming.
So Mrs. Carter was plenty
stunned when she got long dis
tance call from Yokohama Sunday
morning announcing the arrival of
new baby in the Alamo family
a third son, who'll be named
Barry Nelson Alamo. She was so
surprised that daughter Marion
Pettibone had to finish the con
versation. Mother (she was former
Alice Carter) and new baby are
doing we'll. Brothers Brian and
Bruce, and dad Carl are thrilled.
Barry arrived Sept. 5 at Navy
Hospital about 20 miles from
Yokohama, a letter Monday said
Alice even had police escort for
the rush trip to the hospital. The
new Alamo son weighed in al
seven pounds, two and three-quar
ter ounces.

pamphlet prepared by the Ohio
Department of Highway Safety, has
been timed for distribution during
back-to-school days when child

nounced U. C. Felty, director of
the Highway Safety Department,
in a statement issued today. Felty
asked motorists to Remember that
small children especially will be
unaccustomed to safe walking and
bicycling practices on the way to

of summer play. 1t is driver's
personal responsibility to observe
school zone speed limits, to stop
for school busses and to exercise
caution wherever there are child

Highway signs are posted well in
advance to warn drivers they are
approaching a school zone or school
crossing where the maximum speed
allowed by law is 20 miles pei
hour, the Highway Safety Director
noted. Where signs warning "Stor
for school bus loading or unload
ing" appear, drivers may expect
to proceed with caution during the
opening and closing school hours
Section 4511.75 of the Ohio Re
vised Code, Felty emphasized, pro
vides that all drivers meeting OF

will clog combines and slow the
