far and away the best variety in
the trials and has given unusually
high yields on farms of many

addition to its high-yield ability,
Clark is resistant to lodging and
shattering and also produces good
quality seed that is high in oil.

JOHN EVERETT IN SERVICE
Assigned to 'B" Company, 5O6th
Airborne Infantry Regiment

Assigned to 'sB" Company, 5O6th
Airborne Infantry Regiment
Private John R. Everett, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward H. Everett,
of North Main Street, Smyrna,
has been assigned to "B" Com
pany, 506th Airborne Infantry
Regiment at Fort Jackson, S. c.,
for eight weeks of basic infantry
training as member of the Sec
ond group of Reserve Forces Act
soldiers to train at the post. The
eight-week training period will be
the first of his six-months active
duty under the new reserve act.
After completing six months ac-
tive duty training, he will become
a member of local reserve or
National Guard unit, where he
will serve the remainder of his
8-year military obligation as an
Army reservist or National
Guardsman. He will spend his
eight weeks at Fort Jackson
learning the fundamentals of be-
ing a soldier. This includes class
room lectures in such subjects as
military courtesy, first aid, and
combat field problems involving
the use of the MI rifle, which he
will learn to fire on various
ranges. Basic training is required
of each new man coming into the
Army. Fort Jackson is one of
the Army's largest training in
stallations. Primarily an infantry
training post, the Fort also offers
schooling in specialties associated
with an infantry division, as well
as in combat tactics. Company
"B" of the 506th Airborne Infan-
try Regiment is composed entire
ly of men who entered the Army
under the new Reserve Forces
Act. Enlistment under the new
law is open to men IL to 1872
years old who wish to complete
their military active duty in six
months and serve the remainder
of their service as an active duty
reservist.

Other sources Of the infection

SD (SAFE DRIyING) DAY
Challenge to Everyone to Go Thru
December 1 without Accident

Challenge TO Everyone to Go Thru
December 1 without Accident
Once again we are planning for
Safe Driving Day = A day set
aside to demonstrate that traffic
accidents can be reduced if mo-
torists and pedestrians fulfill their
moral and civic responsibility for
safety.
1t is sponsored by the Presi-
dents Committee for Traffic Safe
ty and is an outright challenge to
every community to go through
Thursday, December 1st without a
single traffic accident.
Governor j. Caleb Boggs has
appointed ]. James Ashton, Man
ager of the Delaware Safety
Council as head of the SD Day
Drive for the state. Mr.. Ashton
states that it is his hope that
everything possible will be done
to make this particular day acci-
dent free in Delaware. While he
has the assurance of cooperation
by all safety minded organizations
throughout the state he feels that
the success of this drive cannot
be accomplished unless every civic
minded driver cooperates also.
The causes of traffic accidents
are many, but all can be cured.
In most cases carelessness on the
part of the driver is responsible.
While he knows that driving in
today's traffic demands the strict
est attention on his part he has a
tendency to disregard driving pre-
cautions set up for safety purpos-
es. The records show that Excess
sive speed was the most frequent
driver violation in 1854 and the
proportion of drivers involved in
fatal accidents for whom this vio-
lation was reported was higher in
1854 than in 1858. One out of
every five drivers involved in fatal
accidents in 1854 whose personal
condition was noted had been
drinking; and this was slightly
higher than in 1853. 1t is inter-
esting to note that five out of
every six accidents in 1854 hap
pened in clear or cloudy weather
and on good highways.
The question of who is to blame
in traffic accident cannot be an
swered merely by determining
who was right and who was
wrong. The accident has happen
ed and the right and wrong of it
are of little consequence to the
victim. But we do know, if we
boil down all the rights and
wrongs involved in traffic acci-
dents that the main ingredients !.
are dangerous driving and care
less walking.
SAFETY is EVERYBODY'S
BUSINESS and very serious
business too. 1t doesn't recognize
class, creed or color. The man in
the street has as much respons-
ibility in it's practice as the man
behind the wheel.
The basic principles of safe
driving and safe walking are sim
pie enough, but the important
thing is to get everybody to prac-
tise them.
REMEMBER THE DATE =,
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1856
This will be the second SID Day
