"CRIME DOES NOT PAY"

Capt. James Turner, Chief of

speaker at the dinner meeting of

of crime is enormous throughout
the nation, he said, in discussing

"crime does not pay" In order
to have the type of officers to
police the cities, towns, and high
ways of the state, money has to
be expended to educate the men
in their work, he continued.
Speaking of safety on the high
ways, Chief Turner said that
some accidents are caused through
neglect of drivers to obey the
traffic lights, the stop,and slow
signs, which are placed to reduce
traffic accidents. Every fifteen

MAN INJURED
IN ACCIDENT
Harold Deakyne Suffers Min
or Injuries in Three-Car
Collision Here
DAMAGE SET AT $3.50

In a three-car collision at 1912
pm. on Monday, Harold Deakyne,
who is associated with his father
in the Ford Agency, Ennis & Dea-
kyne, DUPONT Parkway, suffered
possible fracture of the hose and
cuts and bruises. He was taken
to DIR. Harold ]. Laggner for
treatment. Involved with his car
were the cars of Mildred Wimbrow
Detore, of Bridgeville, and Emma
v. Johnson, Smyrna, who were
the operators of the vehicles. Dea-
kyne was driving east on Mt.
Vernon Street when Mrs. Johnson
failed to stop for stop sign COM
ing out of East Street across Mt.
Vernon. Her car ran into the
side of Deakyne's car, which rich
ocheted across the street, striking
the Detore car, going west on Mt.
Vernon in head-on collision.
Emma Johnson was fined SIS and
costs by Magistrate j. H. Hop
kins for failing to stop at a stop
sign. Damage was estimated to
the three cars at $3.50 The
Johnson car was a 1887 DeSoto
sedan, which was a total wreck.
1t is believed by the police depart
ment, who investigated the acci-
dent, that if the car driven by
Deakyne had not had all the safe
ty features, a safety steering
wheel and a crash-dash he would
have been more seriously injured.

use due care and caution and Mil
ford Brown, Smyrna, fined $40 for
failing to wait until his movement

MERRY XMAS
FROM FIRE CO.
Urges Everyone To Use All
Precautions to Avoid Fires
During the Holidays
LIST PRECAUTIONS

The Citizens Hose Company
wishes everyone a Merry Christ
mas and urges them to help
Keep Christmas Merry" by u.s.
ing all precautions to avoid fires
during the holiday season when
hazards are greater. Among these
precautions they list these easy
to follow rules: A tree should
not be dried out; test fiexibility
of small branches and retention
of needles; keep tree in snow or
water outdoors until ready to use
and remove it when it has served
its purpose; Remember the big
ger the tree, the bigger the fire
hazard" they warn. Saw off
trunk at least one inch above
original cut for better absorption;
support tree and keep it away
from heat sources, including heat
vents, radiators, fireplaces or 9TH
er open flames. 1t is unsafe to
use wax candles on tree or near
it any time, the firemen stress,
and they also say that "if you go
in for extensive holiday wiring
inside or out, call competent
electrician to do the job. Addi-
tional advice includes the use OF
lighting set and electric cord in
good condition, no worn or frey
ed wires, no loose sockets. Also,
never set up electric trains under
the tree and do not allow gift
wrappings to pile up under the
tree, or near it. Ornaments should
be made of fireproof materials,
like metal or glass; never decor
ate with cotton or paper unless
they are labelled "fireproof" or
"flameproof', they continue. And
finally, when needles start to fall,
take the tree down and discard
it-outdoors.
