Keep your eye on the other guy
he's the big question mark in
traffic!"
Captain John p. Ferguson, direc-
tor of the traffic safety division,
Delaware State Police, yesterday

against the unpredictable behavior
OF pedestrians and other drivers.
The captain noted that "defeH-
sive driving" is currently being en-
phasized by the Delaware Safety
Council, as part of the Back the
Attack on Traffic Accidents" cam
paign. The spring phase of this
campaign stresses the moral re-
sponsibility of drivers for their

and mind your own business" Cap
tain Ferguson said. "You have a
moral responsibility to prevent an
accident if you can-even if the
other fellow is at fault.

ager, Myron Milbouer, said today.
The increase in the number Of
claimants here reflects a condition
prevailing in most of the $50 So

country. In one January week
alone, a total of 253 persons in
this area made claims for old-age,
survivors, or disability insurance
payments.

Pembroke Mothers Up
In Arms Over Schools

Residents Of Pembroke Town
ship this week expressed doubt
that funds resulting from the
sale of a squartt mile of school
land will result in improving
local schools.
It is said that the operating
budget for the schools in the
area of $150,0OO is not reflected
in the condition of the schools
which they describe as "a dis
grace to Kankakee County and
the state of Illinois,"
Get No New School
They claim that their district
is the only one in Kankakee
County that does not have a
new school of any type.
In a state which can be justly
proud of the money it spends
on education and which increas-
ed this support by $40 million
in the last General Assembly, a
spokesman declared, there are
schools in Pembroke without
lunchrooms, libraries, gymnasi-
ums and modern sanitary facili-
ties.
Recently the four school dis
tricts of Hopkins Park, Doney.
Goblin and Fairmore were con-
solidated for the purpose of
improving school conditions. To
date no improvement has been
apparent.
Before the National Associa
ton for the Advancement of
Colored People became aware of
the situation, mothers who had
boycotted the schools met with

People Too Poor

According to these mothers,
he told them, There will not
be any new school built because
you people are too poor to at
ford a new school. You don't
pay taxes and there is no money
for any new school! You don't
pay taxes and lunch program
either, because you still owe
$500 from the program you tried
to run in 1854. Just get back
where you belong because l
won't talk to any of you if
you do come to my office"
Principal Is Agent
The mothers of P e m brok e
charge that the principal who
acts as an insurance agent col
lects SITS from each child for
insurance" but nothing is done
to safeguard the children's
health, nor is there decent
school yard in which they may
play.
They are vexed, they say, by
the evasiveness of school Off
Gals when inquiries are made.
They also tell of a rercent
trip to Springfield august 29),
where they discovered that it
was not known that the schools
had been consolidated; that a
new treasurer and school board
had been elected. They said the.
County Superintendent had
made no report.
