LUTHERAN GROUP BACKS CAMPAIGN Support Duty to God, Coun- try and Future Genera- tion, Men Told. Support of the street and highway safety campaign waged by The Star Safety Council “is a duty to our God, our country and the future genera- tion,” men of the Lutheran Churches of Washington were told at a rally Friday night in the Evangelical Luth- eran Church of Atonement, North Capitol street and Rhode Island ave- nue, by Martin A. McGrory, toast- master at the rally banquet. Safe H8riving pledge cards were signed by all those present who had not previously joined the campaign through other organizations and ar- rangements were made to distribute pledge cards to members of the 25 Lutheran churches in Washington. McGrory, who also served as chair- man of the general committee in charge of the rally, emphasized the importance of every Lutheran man signing the pledge “and doing every- thing in his power to uphold the Ppledge.” . Support Seen Duty. “We should back The Evening Star vigorously in this campaign for safety,” he said. “It is a duty to our God, our country and the future genera- tion; only by such an example can we expect to inculcate in our young- sters the same spirit and discourage the supposed necessity for fast and trresponsible driving.” Rev. J. Frederick Wenchel of Christ Lutheran Church spoke on the need for a Lutheran merger. Rev. Carl C. Rasmussen of the Luther Place Me- morial Church, in a talk on the “Fifth Objective,” stressed the need for Christian work by men in every fleld of worldly labor. A committee representing all branches of the Lutheran Church in the District of Columbia was ap- pointed to consider the creation of a District Lutheran Men's Society, con= sisting of one minister and one lay- man. The committee is composed of McGrory and Rev. Henry Manken, representing the United Lutheran Church; Rev. J. Frederick Wenchel, Missouri Lutheran Church; Rev. Ger- hard E. Lenski, Grace Lutheran Church; William Rupertus, American Lutheran Church; Rev. S. C. Ander- son and Frank Reverson, Danish Lutheran Church, and Carl Johnson of St. Eric’s of the Augustant Synod. ‘The Ladies’ Aid Society of the Luth- eran Church, under the leadership of Mrs. James MacDonald, vice president, in charge of the kitchen at the rally banquet, heartily indorsed ‘The Evening Star safety drive. All the ladies serving signed the safe driving pledge. “We women know the suffering and anguish caused by carelessness on the part of drivers,” Mrs. MacDonald said. “Fast driving and ignorant and fool- ish drivers have made their mark on the women of today, who are devel- oping into high-strung and nervous types. Every woman in the District of Columbia should heartily indorse and sign The Evening Star pledge.” NEW YORK ORDERS NAVY UNIT TO MOVE Withdrawal of Hangar Permit Believed in Retaliation for Mail Squabble. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 19.—The Naval Reserve aviation unit, with its €0 officers, 180 enlisted men and 15 planes, has been ordered by the City Dock Department to vacate its rent- free hangar and office space at Floyd Bennett Field by November 17, it was learned today. Although no official explanation was given, aviation leaders believed it was designate the flying field New York's air mail terminus, instead of the New- ark. N. J,, airport. Officers of the two Navy and one Marine Reserve squadrons, which form the unit, said the Navy Department had a permit to use the field until June 30, 1936. Lieut. W. C. Allison, unit com- mander, would not discuss the order until he consulted Admiral Yates Stir- ling, jr, commandant of the Third Naval District. Dock Commissioner John McKenzie, one of the leaders in the fight to trans- fer the mail to New York, issued the order revoking the permit. He could not be reached for comment. e Legislature Meets October 28. LINCOLN, Nebr., October 19 (). — Gov. R. L.

Safety committees were set up in each camp and meetings are held each week, at which the need for strict compliance with all safety regulations | is*brought home to each member. | “The War Department, which has charge of the camp administration, is | responsible at all times for the execu- tion of the safety program, except when the men are working in the | forests and fields,” Fechner explained. | “The technical services which super- | camps are responsible for the execu- tion of the safety program while the men are at work. “At the present time we insist that: “1. Drivers of C. C. C. vehicles be selected with care and only after their ability has been tested by competent authority. They must be conversant with the traffic laws in the States or State in which they are to operate and with the C. C. C. regulations re- garding driving. Each driver must operate under the supervision of a leader or other designated person who instructs him in his duties, sees that he obeys instructions and that he makes regular inspections of the truck or vehicle. “2. All motor vehicle drivers, par- ticularly those transporting persons, observe strictly all State and local traffic regulations, such as coming to a full stop at all stop signs. “3. Vehicles transporting persons should not exceed 30 miles an hour at any time. N THE interest of accident prevention and safer conditions on the streets and highways and in Must Stop at Crossings. “4.

Trucks transporting personnel must not be overloaded. “6. Men riding on trucks must not hang their legs over the side or rear of the truck. “7. No one be allowed to ride on the fenders, bumpers, running boards or cab top. “8. No one be allowed to stand up in a moving truck. “9. No one be allowed to jump on or off any vehicle while it is in motion. “10. Trucks be inspected daily for physical defects, such as faulty brakes, bad lights, etc.,, and that any unsafe condition be reported at once. “11. No one be permitted to ride on trucks or vehicles without specific in- structions or authorizations. “12. All trucks used for transport- ing enrolees to be equipped with gov- ernors to regulate the speed and guard | rails to protect the passengers from falling overboard.” Army corps area commanding offi- cers and ‘the technical personnel in the fleld are doing everything pos- sible to safeguard the young men and war veterans of the C. C. C. camps, Fechner said. Reports Indicate Success. “Reports from the fleld,” he said, “indicate that our program has been successful in reducing automobile and truck accidents. We have cut down the speed at which trucks are driven, weeded out unskilled drivers, estab- lished checking systems to make cer- tain that all vehicles are kept in first- class operating condition and con- ducted safety schools to impress upon each enrollee the necessity of looking out for his own and his fellow en- rollee’s safety. Our records show we have made appreciable progress in reducing accidents. “I am confident that through co- operation with The Star Safety Coun- cil a still better record can be made.” Lauderdale, who is taking up with the members of the Safety Council of which he is chairman the question of signing up their respective groups in The Star campaign, declared that “any campaign having as its purpose the reduction and elimination of ac- cidents is worthy of the whole-hearted co-operation of every citizen—as it has for its objective the protection and preservation of human life.” “The Evening Star is to be highly complimented for its initiative in cre- ating ‘safety consciousness’ in the minds of the people of Washington,” Lauderdale said. “A safety campaign cannot be conducted by one organi- Sponsors of a United Lutheran Men's Society for the District are shown taking The Star safe driving pledge at a rally of representatives of 25 local Lutheran churches Friday night.

Lauderdale believes that there are three phases to any safety campaign which is to have its maximum effect: First, engineering, to eliminate haz- ards; second, educational, as is the campaign carried on by The Star, and, third, enforcement.

Hines also suggested that tree branches which obscure traffic lights in various parts of the city be trimmed. At many corners, he said, trees have grown, since traffic lights were erected, to such an extent that some of the lights are completely blocked. —— DUCHESS AND BABE WELL Infant Prince Is Gaining ‘Weight, S8ays Bulletin.

Experienced AdvertisersPrefer The Star Annice Brink (Noted Boston Fashion Authority): “Pm trying to get a line on the latest style trends in motor car design, Mr. Sullivan. There is really a definite tie-up between style in motor cars and certain types of feminine fashions. Have you seen any of the new cars yet?” James T. Sullivan (Automobile Editor, Boston Globe): “So you want a tip on motor car style trends? Well, take a look at the 1936 Dodge. They tell me it has all the features that built Dodge’s reputation for ruggedness and dependability and gave the 1935 model its own special reputa- tion for economy, but if you're talking about style, this new 1936 job is the handsomest and swank- iest looking car I have ever seen Dodge turn out.
