The greatest killer of children
today is accidents. In this coun-
try around 5000 children between
one and four years of age die ev-
cry year from accidents. In the
larger group of children between

deaths every year. AS many chill
dren die frou accidents as from
pneumonia, dial rhea, measles,
diphtheria, meningitis, poliomye-
litis, whooping cough and scarlet
fever, all combined.
The highest accident rate is in
the pre-school children-the chill
dren who spend most of their time
at home-under parental supervis-
ion.
Accidents don't just happen
at least 80 per cent of them are
preventable. We need to study
how to prevent accidents, just as
we have studied how to prevent
disease. Parents need to under
stand what causes accidents and
how they can be avoided. Safety

accidents.

be open to officials and citizens.
The full statement follows:
We are about to enter a New
Year, and very soon a second term
as Governor of Delaware will be-
gin for me and my official family.
! want to express my complete
gratitude to all of our people for
their continued confidence and
their general contributions to the
progress of our state in a nation
at peace.
AS the year 1856 passes into his
tory with an its trials and tribula-
tions both nationally and interna-
tionally, we can also look back to
hundreds of bright moments which
many of us enjoyed, particularly
in our home state.
We must now be prepared to face
not only 1857 which is Immediately
before us, but we must take much
longer look at the future of Del
aware in the months ahead.
Wheels have been set in motion
which will have the heads of all
our state departments as well as
individuals in private groups work
ing in unison to project and plan
Delaware's future development for
the next fifty to one hundred years.
This we must do from the COM
munity to the state level in order
to determine what our role shall be
in the economy of the nation and
the world.
Immediate problems before us
are not unsurmOuntables if we find
areas of agreement and keep as our
target the welfare of all our peo-
pie. We know that with our grow
ing population, which now stands
at more than 100000, our school
needs will increase. We know that
more people on the move, traffic
problems will continue to be in
volved, and we must plan what we
feel will be best to serve those who
use our highways on a national
basis, but always striving to pro-
tect the business interests and well
fare of our own citizens.

that our statements in October with
regard to our farm economy have

all time high in 1856, and better
than the ten-year average which
federal officials have compiled.
While we are keenly aware that
broiler prices have been down this
year, our commercial hatcheries
evidently look with confidence to
better conditions. There were near

State Safety Council
Urges DriUing Care
Continued from first page)

Continued from first page)
Follow at safe distances avoid
sudden stops.
Give proper hand signals before
turning or stopping.
Never pass other vehicles on
curves or hills.
Give the other fellow the right
of way if he wants it.
Be prepared to stop at intersec-
tions and railroad crossings.
Always, obey traffic laws, signals,
signs, and markings.
Check your car periodically
make repairs promptly.
Avoid driving when overly tired
or under the influence of liquor.
John T. Callahan. President of
the Safety Engineers Club urged
these resolutions for people at
work.
Know how to do your job cor
rectly and safely.
Wear proper clothing, shoes, and
protective devices.
Keep your working place clean
and orderly.
Remove or report all accident
hazards promptly.
If you operate machines, stop
them before oiling or cleaning.
Learn the proper way to lift and
move heavy objects.
Place materials and equipment
so they will not cause accidents.
Watch your step-avoid slips
and falls.
Observe safety rules and regu-
lations.
Mr.. dupont urged that people at
play or walking resolve to take
/ these precautions:
Walk on the left of roads with
out sidewalks.
Handle firearms sanely-store in
a safe manner.
Watch out for stumbling and
tripping hazards.
Avoid unsafe heights and falling
risks.
Prevent the spread of open fires.
Don't jaywalk; never cross the
street from behind parked car or
truck
Cross only at intersections and
always with the light.

live as safe q life as possible.
Safety education begins when
mother understands what her baby
is likely to do. She must arrange
his life so that he cannot do those
things that will hurt him.
A newborn baby is a helpless
little mite and needs absolute pro-
lection. He needs mattress to
lie on so firm and hard that he
cannot bury his nose in it and
suffocate. He needs clothing that
cannot pull tight around any part
of mis- body.
Soon, sooner than most parents
think, the baby will be- able to
wiggle and roll from side to side.
From the beginning the baby must
not be left for single minute on
a place from which he might fall.
Never, never, leave a baby on a
bed or a dressing table even when
you go across the room to get a
forgotten item or answer the
phone as Martha did. One roll,
quick as a wink, and your baby
is on the floor.
Young babies are helpless in
water. It's dangerous to leave a
baby alone in a tub even for a
moment If you have forgotten
something while you are bathing
him-either go on without it or
pick him up. wrap bath towel
around him and carry him with
you into the next room
These are just a few cautions
for the very young baby. AS the
baby grows into a toddler and
can get places On his own your
vigilance too must grow.
Remember 80 per cent of all
accidents could have been pre-
vented, just as Tins conclusion
could have been prevented.

Millville fire departments assisted
the Dagsboro company at the scene.
The new $1,000 combination
pumper-ladder truck of the Dags-
boro Company was used for the
first time in a large fire, and the
1851 truck now up for sale was also
put into service.
Chief Hickman said he drove the
new pumper into the Indian River,
to insure an adequate water supply
in an emergency, and that a
wrecker was used to get it out. A
thorough washing had the truck as
good as new again.
He said the first was the worst

signs tend toward the upgrading
of the entire industry.
We welcome those new indus
tries and businesses which have
come to work with us during 1856
as well as others in recent years.
They add greatly to our economic
strength as we'll as assisting in
providing stable employment. We
are aware that problems have
arisen with the arrival of these
new projects, and we can only hope
that they will be resolved in such
a manner that employment of Del
awareans will be unaffected. We
hope new residents will be attract
ed to our labor force and that they
will become a permanent part of
the Delaware scene.
On New Years Day our 18th
General Assembly will meet in Do
yer to begin what / hope will be q
session dedicated to the service
and interests of all Delawareans.
AS chief executive ! pledge my
whole-hearted support to such
measures as may come before the
Assembly which will reflect posi-
tive good to the majority of our
people. The door to the Governors
office is always open to the states
officials and the general public.
During the past year Delaware
forged up another rung on the lad
der among the states, by our pop
ulation growth. We have passed
Vermont and are now 45th in rank
because of our 25 per cent in
crease in residents since the 1850
census.
AS / welcome new citizens, either
born in their native state or who
come to live with US, / also want
to extend the warm hand of friend
ship to those from overseas, who
through persecution at home have
found a haven in the land of the
free and within the bounds of Del
aware.
Summarizing then, l believe that
the year 1856 has been good year
for our state and it's citizens. While
there is always much to do, GER
tainly much has been accomplished.
By continued application of the
Golden Rule; by constant study of
the problems before us and by
sound execution of such statutes
that may alleviate areas of need,
| am confident that the people of
our state will remain productive;
that they will keep charity in their
hearts and that all OF us will serve,
as we always must, in the greater
interests of our nation as a whole.
1t is therefore my pleasure to ex-
tend to each of you sincere thanks
for your past services to the state
and to wish you all a joyous, pros
porous and blessed New Year.
