Safety Council Notes


The throttle and the bottle were
the big reasons why a record 609
persons we're killed in traffic acci-
dents last Christmas Including
four in Delaware
That was the conclusion of the
National Safety Council and the
Delaware Safety Council after a
study of the details of accidents
that occurred during the Christmas
Holidays.
In Delaware there was one fafal
accident a day from December %
through December 26. In two of the
four fatalities, the police investi-
cations showed that drinking def
nitely was a factor. Speed was a
major factor in a third fatal acci
dent, and failure tc observe eau
ton at an intersection was involved
in the fourth Delaware fatality.
All four Delaware fatal accidents
occurred during the dark hours
dents happened during the dark
hours. Nationally more of the acci-
dents occurred between 6 p. m. and
9 p. m. than any other three-hOur
period. In Delaware, none occurred
in that period, but all four occurred
between 10 D. m and Ais a. m.
The National Safety Council said
hat speed and drinking had an
effect during the Christmas week
end almost three times greater
than normal. Driving too fast for
conditions or in excess of the speed
limit was a factor in IS per cent.
Drinking drivers. were involved in
55 per cent of the fatal mishaps,
although normally they are in
volved in less than 20 per cent.
Those percentages are based on
reports which definitely stated
whether or not speed and drinking
were factors.
Despite the heavy influence of
speed and drinking, chiefly to
blame for boosting the Christmas
toll so per cent higher than ON
other December week-ends, the
council found that accident types
and people involved were much the
same as usual.
Onher facts in the report are:
l. The most common type of acci-
dent was collision between two or
more cars. Next in order were nom
collision, pedestrian and fixed OBJ
ject collisions. I'm Delaware two of
the fatal accidents were collision,
and IN the other two cars ran off
the road.
2. In 80 per cent of the accidents
only one person was killed. The
most serious accident killed four
persons.
3. Rural accidents were fewer
than normal i'm relation to urban
accidents.
4. The ages of drivers was not
much different from the normal

and olive spread and meatloat
sandwiches was found at the foot
of the cross.
The cross was set up just a
short distance from the voting
booth where Negro voters had
balloted on Tuesday, and stood be-
tween two pine trees.
Riviera Beach rumor held
Thursday, police said, that the
symbolism of the sandwiches and
pine trees Is gallows, and some
body taking his last meal.
How the cross could have been
erected in a hole that had to be
dug without anyone seeing 1t we
cannot understand" Chief, Britt
said. Traffic was heavy, the cross
was too big to be built on the spot
and had to be brought in from
elsewhere. But either no one saw
1t, or those who did are afraid to
ak"
This was the second cross burn
ing in Riviera in recent years. A
lew years ago boys erected and
burned a light cross as a prank,
Chief Fritt said, but this definite
was not pranlksters construc-
tion.
This pattern of terrorism as a
orrn Of intimidation has long
oeen with us. Only two weeks ago
ROSES were burned in Macon,
Georgia and in Jacksonville. It
mild form Of violence usually
limed at helpless Negroes. But
yiolence against the least of our
itizens soon claims victims among
he highest. It's the way Of vicious
less. This is emotional reaction to
'hange and could have serious i'm
locations. 1t should be carefully
tracked down to the end that
eStleSS ghosts of the past do not
Use up to plague the peace and
luiet Of the fast-growing settle
nent adjacent to West Palm
Beach.
Mr.. Cunningham and his sup
oorters have the heartiest con-
rats of this corner for the noble
stand they took in the election
and its outcome. The township,
n expressing regret over the ugly
ross burning incident, yet &C
cepting 1t without undue alarm, Is
o be commended. It Is certain
that all realize we are in new
era of understanding and in be-
coming aware Of new responsible
tiles and adjustments much will
be endured In the light OF growing
pains. There is still faith in tht
deathless dignity Of man, govern
ed by eternal, moral and natural
laws.

Musing With Mack
we are beaten back in many a fray,
But never strength we borrow;
Where the vanguard rests today,
The rear shall rest tomorrow.
BY HENRY {. (Mae,<, MCKINNEY

These immortal words of Gerald Massey come to
mind as we deved the outcome Of the run-o election in
ivera Beach last week and the subsequent crossburn-
ing at the Negro polling precinct.
+. Malcomb Cunningham, Rivera's first Negro candi-
date for public office after rolling up total of TO votes
TO his nearest opponents 519 in field with three White
candidates in the primary April 8, lost the run-o election
Tuesday of last week. Cunninghams vote in the run-o
totalled 952to his opponent Bruce Caddy's 1852.
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1956-04-28

Nunnlngnam' Almost solid sup
port from the Negro precinct was
overshadowed by Caddy's equally
strong support from the white
precinct. White voters in Riviera
outnumber Negroes approximately
two to one. & t1e So
Caddy polled 1888 votes in the
white precinct and "A in the Ne
gro precinct. Cunningham polled
$50 votes in the Negro precinct
and 100 in the white precinct.
There were 40 more votes cast
in the run-off than in the pri-
mary.
Though he lost the election,
Cunningham's show of strength
and the solidarity of the Negroes
NRte, spelled victory and respect
for the towns ebony column. It
points UP the fact that the Negro
citizen, as every other American,
treasures human dignity and the
rights of man, and longs for a
just and democratic world order.
Bat this determined effort-this
tremendous show of strength in
unity-displayed by Riviera's Ne
groeS proved to be quite dis
pleasing to an element in that
community who persist in the be-
lief that whatever defies them
should be tortured, especially the
truth. And it is true that men be-
come so devoted to maintaining q
tradition that it becomes a band
age over their eyes shutting out
the vision of new needs and OPP
portunities instead of a flag GAL
lantly going on ahead with hope
and courage.
And so on Thursday Chief
John r. Britt of the Riviera Beach
Police reported that "the biggest
and best constructed" fiery cross
in the history of the Palm Beaches
was burned almost besides the
Negro precinct voting place late
Wednesday night.
The upright of the cross was
constructed of four two by six
foot timbers more than 10 feet
long, while three two by six
timbers eight feet tall went into
the cross bar of the structure.
ALI were wrapped in oil soaked
burlap, over which chicken wire
had been wound to prevent dis
indignation of the fiammable ma
terial.
The cross was found burning at
Blue Heron Rd. and the old Dixie
Hwy. at 11:05 Wednesday night
by Negro Patrolman FELTON, Roun-
tree as he went to meet his relief.
Rountree patrols the Negro areas
of Riviera Beach.
He Immediately radioed for
help, and Police Chief Britt and
Patrolmen Charles Root and
Clark Bibbler responded.
The cross had burned rapidly,
and when Chief Britt arrived had
about burned out. One OF h e
cross arms had burned through
and fell almost off Immediately
after their arrival.

OcRACOKE STUNT NIGHT
PROVES BIG SUCCESS

Ocracoke.-The annual P.T.A.
Stunt Show, given last Friday
night, was big success. Many
said it was the best of the four
or five such performances that
the PTA has sponsored. Beginning
with the "Dixieland Hoboes" with
songs and jokes by Jack Willis,
George G. jackson, Benjamin Spen-
Ger, Wallace Spincer, Jesse Gar
IRISH, Monford Garrish, Needham
Simpson, Elmo Fulcher, Lawrence
Balance, and Thurston Gaskill, and
ending with Capt. Marvin w.
Towards Misunderstanding Bank
er Pony, which turned out to be
composed of Wahab Howard and
Kermit Robinson, the show was
one big laugh after another.
Charlie Ahmon with the shelp of
Jackie Wilson, John Ivey Wells,
and Perry Wahab pantomined
typical Ocracoke jeep's trip "down
the Long, Long Trail' to Hatteras

Rebecca Spencer, Iva Garrish,
Elizabeth o. N. Howard, Virginia
Esham, Alice Rondthaler, Gladys
Williams, Elizabeth G. Howard,
and Miss Frances Rawley, all in
ridiculously old-time costumes,
gave opportunity for the reading
of some affectionate ditties about
the menfolk in the community. Eph
Esham's "Ocracoke Baby Beauty
Contest" presented Capt. Ike
O'Neal, Murray Spencer, Needham
Simpson, and Miss Eta Scarbor-
ough as the bonneted babies. Wal
ter Howard and Jerry Adams did
some musical saw and guitar
numbers, and the former put on an
impersonation of an old lady.
Songs by "Those Harmonizing
Sisters, Leila, Blanche, Lois Ann,
and Eta Howard, in Gay-Nineties
costume, and those by Mrs. Lucille
Garrish and son Danny, the "Hap-
py Nanny Duet, were partic-
ularly enjoyed. Mrs. Bessie Howard
and Mrs. Selma Spencer, in a dia-
logue "Black Clouds, depicted
"Mrs. Hieflooten and Mrs. Wash
board" to perfection, and the
"Darktown Shutters" stunt pre-
senting Mesdames Elsie Tolson,
Doris Garrish, Lucille Garrish, Eva
O'Neal, Dicie Wells, Fonnie Will

of the program. Accompanist for
the musical numbers was Mrs.

stunts was Theodore Rondthaler.

We are fortunate to have such
excellent fish supplies in the U. S.
Because of this we find numerous
forms of fish in our markets at
economic prices at any time of the

cleaned fish, seasoned with papri-

odors until you are ready to serve.
No pan to clean.
For a quick sauce to serve with
