'Jaycee Belts $4.95 Installed"
the Jaycees' campaign to sell
belts is vigorously under way.
The campaign emphasizes
certain facts about traffic and
seat belts:
|. Your chances of being in an
injury-producing auto accident
sometime during your life arel
out 2;
2. Almost half of the fatal auto
accidents occur when the veh-
icles involved are travelling at
less than 40 mph. You are
helpless to prevent yourself
from hitting suddenly stopped
care while your body is trave-
ling at the speed the car was
travelling before the accident,
unless restrained by seat
belts.
8. Over 2 out of 8 persons
killed In autos are within rs
miles of their home. (Seat belts
are very definitely needed In
any accident-even on the way to
the grocery
4. Your chances of receiving
an INJURY of any kind are re-
duced 90 percent. Studies in
dicate 5000 percent fewer
deaths to seat belt users in
similar accidents.
S. When people are thrown
from a car In an accident, it
Is estimated they are 5 times
more likely to be killed than
when they stay inside the car.
8. You can get out of modern
seat belts in less than one Sc
cond.
z. Seat belts help keep you
conscious in an accident so you
can extricate yourself from the
car quickly. (This is an import
ant item to those people who are
afraid of being caught in burn
ing car-cars which catch on fire
or submerge in an accident ac-
count for less than | out of 200
accidents).
8. Surveys have shown seat
belt wearers find them comfort
able and supporting, actually
restful.

cuSed of violating the county's

The restaurant refused to

AT LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Emancipation Order
To Be Displayed Here

The Emancipation Proclama-
ton, as written by President
Lincoln, will be on display over
the week end Of September %
at the Lincoln Memorial.
The document has not been
in Washington since it was raf-
fled off at a bazaar in New
York State in 1864.
Its return from Albany, N. Y,
under heavy Federal guard will
commemorate the date, Sep
tember %, 1862, when Mr.. Lin
coin released his order to the
public.
He had spent all summer of
1862 thinking about it and
drafting it.
He was waiting for a Union
victory to create the right at
mosphere for its issuance. That
victory came at Antietam.
On the morning of September
%, 1862, the President called
his cabinet members together
to tell them about the procla-
nation. He was not asking for
suggestions. He simply wanted
them to know what he was
about to do.
Then he issued the order as
commander in chief of the
Union Armies, that all persons
held as slaves in territory IN
armed rebellion ARE, and
henceforward shall be, free"
From this limited order came
the Thirteenth Amendment,
which in 1865 freed all slaves.
The Lincoln proclamation
was sold at a bazaar to bene-
fit wounded soldiers. Later the
New York Legislature appro-
priated funds to buy the proc
lamation from the winner and
added it to a collection of his
toric papers in Albany.

But during cross-examination
she conceded that she and the

not reach this criteria, and if
all the criteria we're rigidly

probably no apartments would

The convention of the Young
Democrats comes at a time
when slot machines already
have the State Democratic
hierarchy on tenterhooks.
Just when the Democrats
thought they had party NAV
erick Hume lined up to work
for Gov. Tawes, Mr.. Hume
seems to have baked because
of the slot machine issue.
COzy Pair
Mr.. Hume ran against Gov.
Tawes in the May primary and
polled a surprising number OF
votes in his first bid for public
office. Bitter foes for the past
two years. the Governor and
Mr.. Hume had been a cozy
pair since they announced
about three weeks ago that
they had reached agreement
on several issues.
Mr.. Hume thought he had
an agreement with Gov. Tawes
whereby the Governor would
come out four-square against
slot machines.
The Governor has always
held slots to be a local issue
in the four counties where
they are legal, but Mr.. Hume
has declared slots are a State
matter and should be abolished
through State legislation.
A few days ago the Tawes-
Hume alliance showed signs
of disintegration. and Mr.
Hume has suddenly developed

a case of laryngitis which
makes his indorsing the Gov
ernor a difficult task. In fact,
Mr.. Hume has missed a few
meetings at which he was
scheduled to speak for the
Governor or introduce him.
Mr.. Hume is waiting for Gov
Tawes to make a statement
favoring State legislation to
abolish slots. The Governor
also has developed laryngitis
on the slots issue.
Asked at a recent press con-
ference about Mr.. Hume's
claim that an agreement was
reached on slots, the most
the Governor would say was
that he wouldn't exactly call
it an agreement but that he
didn't anticipate any problem
in that area with Mr.. Hume.
Both are scheduled to at
tend the grand finale of the
Young Democrats convention
tonight. That's after a vote
will be taken on the anti-slotS
resolution.
Reversal Unlikely
The Young Democrats have
gone on record before against
slot machines and it seems un-
likely they will reverse their
field or steer clear of the issue
because it might contribute to
party disunity in an election
year. Some of the leaders Of
the group said they don't want
to be put between Gov. Tawes
and Mr.. Hume, but they don't
want to duck the issue.

enact the Battle of Antietam
today in the rolling farmland
of Western Maryland.
At the site where 22.700
Union and Confederate soldiers
died or were wounded 100 years
ago, their descendants will re-
live a portion of the clash of
arms which proved to be the
wars bloodiest day.
The re-enactment wills be
staged at 2 pm. today and

Ali four members Cf the
Hamlin family have a part in
the reenactment of that por-
ton of the battle which culmi-
mated in the fighting at Bloody

1t. Col. Tom w. Hamlin, Al.
a furniture dealer, has been
interested in the Civil War
since he was a boy. He por-
trays a general in the first
Union assault wave on the lane.
With him in the unit is his
17-year-old son, Tom, a stu
dent at Mount Union College

fit brought three cannons, 20
tents, food for four days and
rs muskets to the 130-acre
bivouac area for troops from
as far away as Wisconsin, Mas
sachusetts, and Alabama.
But camping out does not
appeal to Mrs. Hamlin.
"I have it," she said. Every
body likes it but me, I guess.
oh, it's all right for overnight
if it doesn't rain and there
are no mosquitoes, chiggers,
and all. But I'll put up with

by which they hope to reverse

T. T. Wiley, now a New York

would attempt to push their
way from the apartments into
Route 123.

to Chain Bridge as a narrow
