All State Safety Crusade
Offers Worthwhile Help

Methods now available in
screening applicants for drivers Ii
censes can throw a spotlight on
accident-prone drivers who previ-
ously have gone unnoticed," A. E..
Spottke, vice president, Allstate
Insurance Companies, declared re-
Gently. The detection of those. po-
tentially dangerous drivers must
become the basis for determining
who shall and shall not drive on
our roads"
Drivers involved in fatal acci-
dents had worse than average driv-
ling records prior to their fatal ac-
cidents, according to a detailed
study of North Carolina drivers.
Alert behavior behind the wheel
and on foot is doubly important at
this time of year, because traffic
accidents usually move toward a
peak in December, the AlIstate
Safety Crusade explains. More than
half the day is dark, and rain, fog,
and ice compound the difficulties
of seeing and stopping in time.
The National Safety Council says
traffic police will concentrate on
these three traffic hazards as end
of-the-year holiday travel in
creases: jay-walking pedestrians,
motorists who fail to yield the
right-of-way to pedestrians, and
drinking motorists and pedestrians
who violate the law.
The harder it is to see, the slow
er you should drive, advises the
Allstate Safety Crusade. Reduced
speed gives driver more reaction
time to avoid hazardous situations
that may arise.
Making yourself seen is the most
effective single precaution to take
when travelling at night, the Ma
tional Safety Council says. We
hicles which have all lights in good
working condition, and pedestrians
who use flashlights or refiectoriz-
ed material will make their pres
ence known to others on the road.
Don't force other drivers to slow
up for you, especially on slippery
roads, warns the Allstate Safety
Crusade. You risk having ap-
preaching cars brake suddenly,
which could cause them to skid or
go out of control.
One drink for the road after Of
fee hours is more potent than COM
monty believed, according to re-
port of the Yale Center of Alcohol
ic Studies. The usual cocktail
hour" comes at time when a per-
sons resistance is lowest and most
vulnerable to the toxic effects of
alcohol.
Fallen leaves when wet can be
lust as slippery as ice, warns the
Allstate Safety Crusade. Piles of
leaves near the curb also should be
approached cautiously. because they
frequently hide children at play.
A North Carolina study indi-
Gates that drivers show advance
symptoms of the kind of driving
which might produce fatal acci-
dent. Improved driver licensing
procedures can weed out these pos
sible killers before they claim their
victims.
Pedestrians can see headlights
long before a driver can see pedes-
trians, the Allstate Safety Crusade
states. Those on foot should take
advantage of this and never count
on a motorist seeing them or Civ
ing them the benefit of the doubt.
If you have to pull off the road
al night, switch on your interior
lights and turn signal lights, sug-
gests the Aiistate Safety Crusade.
It's important that you let ap-
Droaching motorists know you are
marked off the road and not in a
traffic lane.

Righteousness
OF Race Hate
Exposed in n. 0.

The waste and Righteousness
of racial discrimination was
stressed again when company
in New Orleans agreed in an out
-of-court settlement to construct
separate rest room and dressing
facilities because of one Negro
woman.
The problem began when the
MAI Buring Packing Co. moved
to a new plant site. Although
the firm employed several dozen
women, Mrs. Lucille Davis Cobb
was the only female Negro en-
ployee.
In its new plant, the company
built a rest room and dressing
facilities for female employees.
But in segregated New Orleans.
separate facilities for White wo-
men employees and for the one
Negro woman employee were re-
quired. The company refused, be-
cause of the cost, to build sep
arate rest room and dressing
room for Mrs. Cobb
The Union representing the
workers in the plant, Local 499,
Apoa1oarnated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workman (AFLCIO), at
tempted to persuade the white
female employees to agree to Mrs
Cobb's using the same rest room
and dressing facilities as they
used.
The Union is made up of
whites and Negroes, with mem
bers of both races serving as
officers. The contract negotiated
bv the Union with the Nat Bur
ing Company specifically for
bids Job discrimination against
any employee because of race
sex, political or religious beliefs
The women at the plant would
not listen to the UAion's pleas
They refused to share the facili-
ties with Mrs. Cobb. The com
pany then discharged Mrs Cobb
because there we're no facilities

Jackie Robinson
Speaks to Huge
Audience Here

The former Brooklyn Dodgers
baseball star, Jackie Robinson,
proved here Sunday when he
addressed an audience estimated
at $500 people. that not only is
his baseball skill worthy OF en-
ulating but his skill and sin
cerity of action in the field OF
civil rights if practiced by the
Negro, better place for the
Negro could be found right here
in America.
Robinson was sponsored here
by the Greater Little Rock Ur-
ban League and spoke at the
Dunbar Community center.
Speaking in the vernacular OF
Ninth street, the Urban League
committee hit the jackpot
when Jackie was selected for its
annual speaker.
Jackie, going into his second
year or retil ement from the base
ball diamond, displayed the same
agility now that he had on the
field chasing hot liners as he
held the attention of his audi
ence for forty-five minutes.
He praised the courage of the
nine Negro students enrolled at
Central high school, and stated
that in comparison with what
he went through as the first
Negro to enter major league
baseball was nothing compared
to what the Little Rock kids
had to go through
He also lavisned praises on
their mentor, Mrs Daisy Bates
for her courage and counselling
during the Little Rock crisis.
Jackie also expressed amaze
ment at the turn of events in
race relations under Faubus,
which made Arkansas an inter-
national disgrace.
Speaking of Judge Harry Lem
ley's decision in delaying inte-

grafton after recognizing 1t as
the law, said that Lemley was

Robinson encouraged the Ne
groes to unite their efforts to
the cause of freedom. He made
it clear that he could make him.
self contented and enjoy the
comforts and luxury of his home,
but it was the children that he
was interested in. He didn't
want them to suffer the same
racial barriers that he had to
suffer.
Several members Of the Urban
League were awarded twenty
year pins during the Sundays
meeting.
Perry Taylor is executive di-
doctor and Edwin Dunnaway is
president of the League.
Mrs. Freddie Massie headed the
