Safety Council News

Can your car pass the VSC test?
"The VSC is not a test for horse
power or miles per gallon. It's 4
test for mechanical fitness-a Fe-
hicle Safety Check. If your car
can't pass it, you're in trouble, !"
said Clifford T. Foster, President
of the Delaware Safety Council.
The Council emphasizing We
hicle maintenance in its educa-
tional program, is urging motor
lists to find out what kind of me-
ehanical condition their cars are
in. The vehicle maintenance pro-
gram is part of the nationwide
Back the Attack on Traffic Acct
dents campaign. This spring Back
the Attack is stressing the drivers
moral responsibility for his own
safety and the safety of others.
Mr.. Foster warned drivers that
safety is more than paint deep,
so the wise driver will accent per-
formance as well as appearance in
caring for his vehicle"
"In my opinion, the old broken
down jalOpies aren't the worst
menace on Lu0 TOdu, he Sdlu IL
seems to me that the car that is
shiny and well cared for on the
outside but neglected on the inside
can be the most dangerous type of
unsafe vehicle. It's a moving BOBBY
trap"
He explained that the old jalopy
is so obviously in need of repair
that drivers of other cars will keep
safe distance from it and the
driver may compensate by driving
more carefully. But they expect a
sleek, well-groomed car to be in
good mechanical shape, so they
don't anticipate this sort of danger
from it.
Any car owner can easily detect
obvious wear or damage to brakes,
windshield wipers, tires, horn, ETC., -
Mr.. Foster said But it takes a
careful check by a competent me-
chanic to uncover more deep-seated
trouble"

Col. Lee Recovering
From Heart Attack

Col. d. Preston Lee, director of
the State Department of Civil De-
fense, was released from Sc
Francis Hospital, last week. He
had been confined to the hospital
for a period of two weeks as a re-
suit of a series of heart attacks
suffered the last week of April.
The state Civil Defense chief
was stricken with the first at
tack on April "a while enroute
from the State Civil Defense Con-
troll Center at Delaware City to a
meeting with Governor j. Caleb
Boggs, in Dover. He suffered two
subsequent attacks after being
hospitalized.
He is expected to spend a lengthy
convalescent period at his home
before resuming his full duties.
At the same time, iC was an
nounced that Col. F. F. Hall, dep
NY state Civil Defense director,
has been confined to his home in
Newark for several days as a re-
suit Of a recurrence of an illness
which lncapacitated him for several
weeks two years ago.
Colonel Hall, who joined the
state Civil Defense agency in 1851
and was appointed deputy direc-
tor in 1852, had been working on
part-time basis with the depart
ment since that illness.
AS a result, Lawrence @. Pond,
Colonel Lees administrative as
sistant and the only remaining full
time permanent member of the
departments staff has been desig-
mated to coordinate the activities
of the department.
Milford chronicle., 1957-05-17

In a recent letter to the stan.
he said he was asking Pond ito
coordinate all of your activities
until l am able to resume my full
responsibilities" He also praised
the staff members for the manner
in which they have carried out
their duties in his absence.
Pond has been meeting periodi-
cally with the state director to re-
view affairs at home. Colonel Lee
has continued TO sign all checks,
vouchers and other papers which,
by law, require the signature of the
state director.
Pond, who is 36 years old, has
been with the state Civil Defense
organization since November 1858.
He served as supply officer for
The agency during the first year
and one-half and has been admin
strative assistant to the state di-
rector f0T. tie past two years. In
those positions, he has gained a
wide working knowledge of the
civil defense operation at all levels.
Born in Wilmington, he was as
sociated with the DUPONT Company
for seven years before and after
World Wax II. During the war. he
served with the U. S. Navy aboard
a minesweeper.
He is married, has one daughter,
and makes his home at Pleasant

includes $3,3T5, 900 as the Federal
share for acquiring property
needed for the parkway. This
amount is to be matched IS per
cent by the State Of Virginia and
25 per cent by Arlington and
Fairfax Counties.
First witness was Edward B.
Burling of the firm of Covington
and Burling in the Union Trust
Building. He identified himself
as the owner Of 342 acres about
five miles upstream from Chain
Bridge.
He said Fairfax County is ex-
pected to put up one-fourth of
the 50 million estimated as
NEEDED for right-of-way upstream
from the proposed Cabin John
Bridge. He said John Nolen, di-
rector of the National Capital
Planning Commission, had vastly
underestimate this cost and he
suggested this alternative:
That the parkway, which was
originally planned for both sides
of the river from Mount Vern-
ON to Great Falls. to be aban-
doned on the Virginia side at a
point where the bridge at Cabin
John would cross the river. He
said the bridge would connect
with a proposed Washington
circumferential highway which
eventually would extend through

without a referendum approving
the amount.
One of the spokesmen likened
the Federal Capper-Cramton
Act, under which the parkway is
being acquired to a "veritable
scorched-earth program" carried
out "in the name of protection
and preservation"
Scott Seegers cited as an ex-
ample of what he meant work
now underway to extend the
parkway upstream in Arlington
County which is visible from the
parkway's present terminus at
Spout Run Valley. He called this
work "callous and shocking de-
struction of the natural beauty
of the Potomac Palisades He
compared the former untouched
natural beauty of the ravines to
a Cathedral"
All of the opponents seemed
primarily concerned with block
ing the action Of the parkway on
the Virginia shore upstream from
the proposed Cabin John Bridge
to another proposed bridge just
above Great Falls.

said, there would be three super
