Grim FOrewarning
Issued by Council
As Fourth Of July
Holiday Arrives

]. James Ashton, manager of
the Delaware Safety Council,
leveled a forewarning today that
the coming Fourth of July holi-
day, four days in all, checked
full of recreational pursuits for
all of us, will bring heartbreak
and suffering for many unless
we prepare well to cope with
the many hazards to be encoun-
tered. He said that the recent
Memorial Day holiday weekend
accidental death toll across the
nation should serve as a grim
reminder to all Delawareans to
take it easy and play it safe
this Fourth of July weekend.
There is no quicker way to spoil
a holiday than to have an acci-
dent" In spotlighting the cir
cumstances that are likely to
surround most accidents over
the holiday weekend, he said
that traffic and drownings will
emerge as the No. l and No. 2
killers respectively. Boating,
water skiing, fishing, surfboard-
ing, and virtually every outdoor
sport will exact its toll too. "We
are not trying to be wet blank
cts about all these ou d 90 r
sports," he said. ''We want ev-
eryone to have fun, but also we
want everyone to stay alive and
healthy to enjoy it." Tips offer
ed by Mr.. Ashton to combat the
Terrible Two-traffic and drown
ings-are, in traffic: Don't drive
too far too fast. Don't drive a
car that's in poor shape. "a min
or auto ailment can too easily
become major under the stress
and strain of turnpike driving.)
Don't permit irritations to drive
you into an accident. Don't drive
after drinking. Don't ig or e
speed laws and traffic regula-
tions-which are established for
your protection. To be S af e
around water, he advises: Re-
member, it's not only swimmers
who drown. Persons walking
near the water, and persons
playing or working in or by
water, also are frequent victims
of drowning. X now how to
swim. Don't swim alone. Prac-
tice moderation in swimming

State Population
Jumps 80 Percent,
9th Biggest Gain
Recorded In us.

Recently released preliminary
results of the 1860 Census have
served to confirm the claim that
Delaware, percentagewise, is
one of the Nations taste t
growing states, points out the
Delaware State Development
Department. These preliminary
results show that only Nevada,
Alaska, Florida, Arizona, and
California have exceeded Della
wares rate of growth during the
past decade. Delaware, with an
increase of slightly better than
80 percent, more than doubled
the estimated nationwide in
crease of l7.45 percent. AL
though Delaware has passed an
other state, Vermont, in the
population standings it still re-
mains in 46th position due to
the fact that newly-admitted
Hawaii, with 620,385 people, ap-
pears in the standings for the
first time. In 1850, Vermont,
then 45th, topped Delaware
377,747 to 31S,085; the First
States estimated gain of 1885,
073 since 1850 far overshadows
