Broadwood
Manor
Mrs. Helen Seller
Poplar 2-4l97

One of our families is starting
off the new year with a brand
new recreation room. 1t was
"christened" at a New Years
Eve party, and drew obs and
abs from all. The Walter P.
Luthys of Grandin Avenue take
their rightful place among the
Broadwood Home Decorating ar
lists.
The Luthy's have used more
space in their basement than any
others we have seen. They have
an Lrshaped room. Only a por-
ton of one side-the part where
the utilities are-has been closed
off. There is enough room in the
enclosure for a Workroom and
tool storage. At the bottom of
the stairs, on the far wall, is a
built-in cupboard with open
shelves of knotty pine, and pine
is also used to enclose the stair
case. The most outstanding fea-
ture is the Wall-treatment. Over
white Stay-Dri, dark green KEN
tone Applique in the Homespun
pattern was rolled for a beautiful
and unusual effect. Mrs. Luthy's
addition of tangerine broadcloth
drapes provides very striking
color scheme. How about it,
Homemakers, doesn't this inspire
a future Home Tour?
We welcome to Broadwood
Manor the Simmonses, Marvin,
Barbara, and their children, Deb
bic, 3, and Larry, aged two
months. They are new neighbors,
formerly from Glen Hills, now
living at 1908 Grandin Avenue.
We are happy to report on an
other wedding. Mrs. Samuel
Cars sister, Anna Mae Cannon,
a former nurse at Suburban Hos
pital (who had lived with the
Carr family on Dean Drive at
one time) became Mrs. Willard
Wallace on January 9Th at the
Grape Methodist Church, Grape,
Maryland.
The bride wore a two-piece rose
dress suit, with navy and white
accessories. She carried a nose
gay of white chrysanthemums,
with a removable orchid in the
center. Our Mrs. Carr was lovely
in suit of turquoise, with pink
and black accessories. Her nose
gay was of yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS with center yellow roses.
There was a reception at the
brides home. After their honey
moon, the couple will reside in

DISCUSSES SPEED CONTROL
F. j. Jamison. of Safety Council
Asks "What's Your Safe Speeds"

f. j. Jamison- of Safety Council
Asks "What's Your Safe Speed?"
whats YOUR safe speed?"
Francis ]. Jamison, Assistant
Manager of the Delaware Safety
Council asked that question of
Delaware drivers as he discussed
the current speed control program
of the Delaware Safety Council
and the National Safety Council.
Slogan of the program is: Don't
be Hurry Bug-Slow Down and
Live!"
What is a safe speed for one
person may be suicide for an
other" he continued. Were all
individuals and we don't leave our
individuality behind us when we
step behind the wheel"
Mr., Jamison pointed out that
there is wide difference between
people in such things as judgment,
reaction time, temperament and
physical makeup.
All of these things, and many
more, determine the speed at
which a motorist can drive safe
ly, he said.
''The person with I slow reac-
tions, faulty vision or jump nerves
certainly should drive at a slower
pace than that of the individual
who habitually makes sound split
second decisions and is blessed
with 1920 vision and iron nerves
in the bargain" he said.
He made the further point that
what may be safe speed for
person today may be too fast for
him tomorrow.
IF you're tired, wirried or un-
der par physically, you can't con-
troll your car or cope with traffic
as efficiently as you can when
wou're relaxed and in good
health" he said. $50 make it
rule to let today's state of mind
and body dictate todays speed"
"And don't forget he said,
that outside conditions such as
weather, road, traffic, and the me-
chanical fitness of your car must
also help decide your speed.
