Safety Council News

More people vacation in July,
August and September than during
any other three-month period of
the year, and most people who ira
vel those months do so by car, the
Delaware Safety Council pointed
out yesterday.
About three out of ten trips dur
ing the period will be less than
100 miles. More than half will be
less than 200 miles.
With those facts in mind the
Safety Council issued these help
full hints for vacationers:
Before you start your trip
l. Jot down the items you want
to take along. You'll think of more
things to add to your list as the
Big Day approaches. And you'll
probably eliminate lot of the ex-
cess baggage.
2. Have your car serviced thor
Oughly. Pay special attention to
lights, brakes, tires and steering.
3. Make sure you take along such
items as a first-aid kit, spare tire.
and jack.
On the way to your vacation spot,
the Council says:
/. Pay strict attention to your
speed. And obey the traffic signs,
they're your signs of life.
2. Look out for the other fellow.
A good driver is a defensive driver.
8. Don't oVerdo it on the road.
Take rest steps often, and limit
your days driving to 300-400 miles.
And when you arrive at your
destination-Don't overdo it!
Fun is fun" the Council agrees,
"but too much exercise can be
dangerous. Play in moderation,
and rest when you're tired" Other
suggestions:
1. Swim only as far as. you know
you can.
2. Look where you're diving. Be-
fore you dive, find outs about un-
derwater obstacles and the waters
depth.
3. Enter cold water gradually.
4. If your boat capsizes, stay with
it till help arrives.
5. When it's hot, drink lots of
liquids.
6. Better be pale than parboiled,
don't get half baked under the sun.

Sen. Frear Approves
Of Great White Fleet

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear says that the proposal to es-
tablish a new Great White Fleet
to carry out missions of mercy
throughout the world could be an
interesting and persuasive begin
ming toward the attainment of
greater international understand
ing.
The creation of the Great White
Fleet is a proposal of young Ma
val officer, and this week ii has
received Congressional backing in
both the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives as well as by one of
the nations largest weekly maga-
zines. AS conceived, the Fleet would
consist of a number of surplus
Navy vessels, including hospital
ships and transports, now in moth
balls which would be reactivated by
the government and stocked with
surplus food. The Ships. painted
white, would steam to any part of
the world to care for people in
need of medical assistance as a re-
suit OF emergencies or catastrophe.
The cost of operating the ships
would be undertaken by voluntary
groups and later perhaps through
agreements between nations receiv-
ing necessary aid.
In discussing the matter in his
weekly statement, Mr.. Frear de-
clared: ut has long been my feel
ing that the greatest value received
from American dollars sent abroad
is in the field of health and medi-
cine. The second most important
and helpful result stems from our
distribution of food. Surely, the es-
tablishment of new Great White
Fleet would not be panacea for
all our international problems, but
I-believe it could be an interesting
and persuasive beginning"

STUDY POINTS UP
NEED FOR MORE
BERTHING SPACE

More than 2 million
American families would
buy lnboard and cupboard
motorboats and sailboats
if there were adequate
berthing facilities.
That's the figure result
ing from a Nationwide
study of the shortage of
moorings and slips by
Smith, Stanley & Co., Inc,
a New York marketing re-
search firm. The study
was made for the Natior~l
Association Of Engine and
Boat Manufacturers.
The association said O.
100000 more boats could be
sold if enough facilities
were made available in the
right places. It was pointed
out that between 5 and 10
per cent of the 3.250.000
existing slips and moorings
are not regularly used but
are located in areas of light
population concentration.
The remaining 80 to IS per
cent are taken by people
who already own boats.

LINCOLN sEsQUIcENTENNIAL

In "A 3 many places in the United States,
and indeed throughout the world, preparations are be-
ing made for the observance of the Sesquicentennial Of
the birth Of Abraham Lincoln. The Federal Govern
ment, as we understand, is going to mint a new Lincoln
coin, and there are plaques, letterheads, and 50 forth be-
ing redesigned. With the Republican Party in the White
greater.
FEW MEN IN the history Of the world have left so
great an impression on their fellowmen as has Abraham
Lincoln. And the great reason for wonderment is the
utter simplicity with which he accomplished his great
est acts, so much SO that his contemporaries tended to
disregard hin completely. Some went so far as to think
him clumsy and stupid. But those are often the signs of
greatness.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN was kindly. He was a man
Of deep conviction, Only such a man could have seen the
Civil War through to its end, painful though it must
have been to him. This was brought out in his second
inaugural when he used the phrase. with malice to-
wards none.'
AS A Of the American scene these Islands
have fallen into the very spirit of much Of the history
and struggles Of the nation. For example, though we
were not a part of the United States during the days of
Lincoln, nevertheless, the greatness Of such a man per
meates the thinking and attitudes Of all free peoples.
One Of the first acts the local legislature did after the
Transfer was to list Abraham Lincoln's birthday as a
national holiday. That is more than can be said for many
States in the Union.
PERHAPS WI CAN make early plans and come
up with a celebration Of the sesquicentennial celebra-
ton BETTING the memory Of the man.
