If Baby likes to sleep on his
stomach, it's safe to let him do
so provided you've given him a
firm, flat mattress on which he
can move his head easily. Most
often, babies believed to have
smothered have died from a rapid
and complete infection. In the
opinion of many doctors, it's best
that Baby sleep on stomach and
safer, too.

taking second place for outstand-
ing achievement in traffic engi-
neering for cities in the 100000 to
100000 population group. First

conjunction with the 1854 annual
National Traffic Safety Contest
sponsored by the National Safety
Council, in which Phoenix was
judged the best in the nation in

fic Engineers to valuate the engi-
neering section of the Annual In
ventory of National Traffic Safety

award, M. M. Todd, Executive Sec
retary of the Institute, said in
part "the Institute of Traf-
fic Engineers extends sincere con-
gratulations to you, your official
family and your citizens. The engi-
neering activities set forth in your
Annual Inventory Report are out
standing contributions to the field
of traffic engineering. Your rec
ord is an excellent one for the
cities participating in the Inven-
tory. l am sure you will want to
continue and intensity your efforts
to maintain a traffic engineering
program deserving of national rec
ognition. We hope that you will be
able to capture the first place

Reilly a a time when we dare not

In accepting the dimes post,
Reilly said, at would be tragic, in

Minister'S Wife
Makes Plea For
Homeless Children

Mrs. A. C. Hendricks, wife of
the pastor of First Institutional
Church, solicits special cooperation
from citizens of this community.
She asks: 30 you not know that
the only facility available for the
care of a non-delinquent child, who
for various reasons if neglected or
dependent, is the County Juvenile
Home?
There, it was pointed out, young
children who have done no wrong
must be confined with actual de-
linquents and incerrigibles. Many
of the latter have committed seri-
our offenses. By association with
them, some impressionable young
sters learn the ways of the delin-
quent.
Are you ready to help do some-
thing about this matter?
The new program we now have,
separates the children. The staff,
headed by a coordinator, also in
clude trained professional child
welfare workers and homemakers.
The call is now to you for foster
homes and I am asking that you
cooperate the best you can. You
may secure information by calling
Mrs. Kelly at the county welfare.
Mrs. George Sichler of the Aux
iliary stated it would be quite
helpful to have homes of different
denominations whereas the child
feels at home, and to attend reli-
gious service of his or her faith.
The Auxiliary also wishes to en-
phasize the need of clothing and
toys. There are times when these
children come to us with but few
clothing on their bodies. Up to the
present time we have kept supplies
of clothes and toys to give to the
children but now we are much IN
need of these items to keep the
supply up.
If you have any good used
things, please call Mrs. A. G.
Kendrick, AL. ,>~3-9694, or Mrs.
George Sichler, AM. 6-0219. We
will have some one pick them up"

Bomb Destroys $2O,OOO Worth of
 PrintingEquipment

MIAMI, Fla, R-An explosion early Saturday destroyed $25, ,00O worth of printing presses and equipment belonging to Miami Life, a controversial weekly news paper.
 A flat-bed press and teletype- setting machine were destroyed, several other pieces of equipment badly damaged, plaster was knocked down and papers seht flying by the heavy blast which occurred about 1:3O am.
 Part of the roof of the building was blown off and the editorial room wrecked.
 Reubin Clein, the publisher, who is noted for swinging his edi- torial club at almost any head which pops up, characteristically blamed his trouble on either the Bolita gamblers or people who re- sent our fight against integrated schools" He even hinted friends of the sheriff may have done it. Clein is an editorial enemy of Sheriff Thomas J. Kelly.
 The explosion scene indicated someone entered the plant after it closed Friday, placed explosives beneath the press, and set a fuse which resulted in the explosion. The area for Is blocks around was jared and residents frightened by the blast.
 Clein, long accustomed to threats since he began publishing the pa- per 30 years ago, said an unidenti- fled man told him on the tele- phone Wednesday this is your last time" Clein said he ignored the call because he was long ac- customed to threats.
 "This is what did it." said Clein, holding up a copy of his paper which went on news stands last Wednesday. The headline read:
 "Bolita Boys Claim Sheriff Kel- ly's OK"
 The story claimed the sheriff will discontinue his recent policy of harrassment against Bolita op- orators.

.Heintzlernan Urges End of 'Handicaps'
 In Transportation

SEATTLE, R-Alaska's Gov. B. Frank Heintzleman urged both the United States and Canada today to take joint steps to wipe out what he called ''handicaps" to more efficient transportation ser vice between them and Alaska.
 The governments and carriers involved could in his opinion, he said, do a better job than they have done to eliminate or tighten such barriers.
 Heintzleman, in an address pre- pared for a special afternoon ses- sion of the two-day Pacific North west Trade Assn. convention that opened today, said:
 Unfortunately, an internation- al boundary line artificially di- vides this single economic region into two political parts-a fact which greatly handicapS furnish ing the cheap and efficient trans portation that the region, as a whole, deserves and could sup port"
 The convention theme was transportation n q Alaska's governor discussed in order, wa ter transportation on the Inside Passage, roads, a proposed rail- road, and the bill to create an Alaska international rail and highway commission.
 The principle of "cabotage, " under which only nationals of each country can operate water carriers between ports of their own country, causing duplication of equipment and facilities over a common route, might also well be modified, Heintzleman said.
