Marshall Duff of Chevy Chase, association pres- ident. Introduced by Imirie. The resolution which brought the | volunteer fire fighters of Montgomery County into the safety campaign was | introduced by John L. Imirie of Bethesda. The resolution expresses the association’s indorsement of the safety move and calls upon each of the 11 departments to enroll its mem- bers in the drive, both as individual citizens and as members of the de- partment.

The necessity for a co-ordinated safety movement was one of the im- portant topics considered at the re- cent annual convention of the Ameri- can Trucking Association in Phila- delphia, at which more than 1,000 | truckmen from all parts of the country were in attendance. In a safety bulletin sent to all trucking associations in the United States, Charles G. Morgan, jr., man- ager of the safety division of the American Trucking Associations, with headquarters in the Investment Build- ing, said: | “'On September 5, The Evening Star, & leading Washington newspaper, | started a safety campaign which has received tremendous impetus and ap- parently is spreading throughout the country. We have noted clippings from the Indianapolis News and one of the Boston papers indicating that they have adopted the same plan. It is| apparent that newspapers throughout | the country are playing up snretyi news, | “Truck associations and truck| operators -everywhere should assist in | these campaigns to the fullest extent. | Truck associations should indorse the | campaigns conducted by newspnpen‘ in their State, and operators should | assist the newspapers in obtaining | safety pledges, addressing meetings, | and in every other manner. | “American Trucking Associations, | Inc., will co-operate in every worthy undertaking in the movement for safety on the highways and asks that its affiliated associations and the | membership at large likewise assist in furthering the success of these[ undertakings.” | The national association this month | Jaunched a national safety contest for | truck operators, in which about 3,000 | members of the industry are taking an | active part. It has been pointed out | by the organization that during the | last three years, while passenger car accidents have increased 40 per cent, eommercial vehicle accidents have dropped 26 per cent. The District of Columbia Trucking Association, local affiliate of American ‘Trucking Associations, already has given its support to The Star safety campaign, under the direction of its president, William E. Humphreys.

Gaston Bulloch, who expressed the opinion that the chief source of automobile accidents “is the kind of propaganda our manufacturers advocate, which features speed instead of safety.” “You will note,” he said, “that all forms of transportation have adopted this mania for speed, and instilled it in the minds of the public to such an extent that it is only natural that they wish to try it out. . “Feature safety instead of speed to reduce mortality caused by our vari- ous modes of transportation.” The Capital Transit Co., which has joined with The Star Council in the | drive to make Washington streets safer for those who ride and those who walk, is pushing the work of pledging all of its motormen, bus drivers and other employes who drive cars preparatory to placing safe-driv- mg stickers on all of its equipment. It was reported that up to yester- day noon 1,051 employes of the com- pany had signed safe-driving pledge cards and that others are coming in rapidly. One hundred per cent co- operation on the part of the em- ployes of the company is expected, as in the case of the Washington Rapid Transit Co., which has enrolled all of its bus drivers and office and garage employes who drive cars. The American Oil Co. also has re- ported the 100 per cent enroll- ment of its Washington drivers and employes. Active work in the distribution of safe-driving pledges to 2,000 members | of Montgomery County women's clubs was well under way today, according to Mrs. Joseph T. Maguire, in charge of the drive. The federation started the social service work in Montgomery County, which is now carried on by the Social Service League. It was instrumental in securing the first home demonstra- tion agent in the county and paid the county's share of her salary for the first year. It sponsored and put into operation all local libraries ex- isting in the county, with one excep- tion. Through the personal efforts of its individual members the first kindergarten in the county, forerun- ner of a large number now in ex- istence in county schools, was estab- lished at the Bethesda Elementary School. It maintains a scholarship fund from which loans are made to Montgomery County girls who need assistance in defraying their college expenses. Throggh this fund, started nine years ago, 24 girls have re- eeived aid in completing their college training. e The officers of the federation at the present time are as follows: Pres- ident, Mrs. B. Peyton Whalen; first vice president, Mrs. Henry M. Mil- burn; second vice president, Mrs. Up- ton D. Nourse; recording secretary, Mrs. Mortimer O. Stabler; correspond- ing secretary, Mrs. Eugene Ferry Smith; treasurer, Mrs. Harry 8. El- kins, and parliamentarian, Mrs. Ed- ward W. Koch. In outlining the blans of her com- mittee for carrying out the safe- driving campaign in Montgomery County, Mrs. Maguire laid special emphasis on the fact that the county federation’s efforts will not be con- fined to a temporary campaign, but that the sponsoring of safer conditions on the county highways will be one of the permanent projects of the organization. Hoping for Success. “It is not to be expected,” Mrs. said in assuming leadership of The Star’s safe-driving activities in Montgomery County, “that we can, through this campaign, make all county highways safe; prevent all drivers from exceeding the speed or otherwise violating rules of safety, | and educate every pedestrian to the | point where he will observe traffic signals when crossing the street. But, if our drive does no more than make |8 few drivers safety-conscious, if it saves the life of even one school | child, it will have been worth all the effort federation members may put into it.” ‘The Lincoln Park Citizens’ Asso- ciation has sent to The Star Safety Council a copy of the following reso- lution, adopted at its October meet- ing: “Recently The Evening Star started a movement, known as a safety cam- { hit-and-run driver whose car yester- | day 23 paign, in which drivers of motor 4% TRAFFIC DEATHS INCREASED 10 91 Man Succumbs of Injuries When Struck by Pro- truding Iron. ‘Washington’s traffic death toll for 1935 reached 91 today with the death in Providence Hospital of Isaac Price, 29, colored, struck yesterday by & piece of iron protruding from the rear of a truck diving by the south end of the flood gate bridge at Fourteenth street southwest.

Price was taken to the hos- pital by a passing motorist. sustained severe internal injuries. Despite the peculiar nature of the accident, which did not involve the victim's being run over, Price’s death was listed by police as a traffic casu- alty. . Better Control Urged. An appeal for better traffic control at Thirty-fourth and Garfield streets to prevent accidents such as that which resulted in fatal injuries Thursday to Lola Wilkinson, 26-year= old domestic, was sent to Commis- sioner Melvin C. Hazen today on be- half of residents of the neighborhood. Wwilliam E. Hall, 2720 Thirty-sixth place, publicity representative of the| Association of American Railroads, wrote that “hardly a night passes| but a crash takes place there, due to the speeding of automobiles on both streets as well as failure on the part of motorists on Garfield street to observe the stop sign.” Hall urged the installation of traffic lights “to guard against injury and death at that intersection.” The only other accident yesterday which resulted in hospitalization of a victim occurred in the 900 block New | York avenue. Pantales Kolijos, 53, & cook, of 946 New York avenue, was crossing the street when knocked down by an automobile driven by Dominic Rosa, 26, of 607 Fourth street. at No. 1 precinct station pending out- come of Kelijos' injuries. Twelve-year-old James Mills, 403 Eleventh street southeast. was struck last night by an automobile driven by Alfred H. Carter, colored, 1014 Sixth street southeast, while riding a bicycle in the 700 block D street southeast. He was treated at Providence Hos- pital for face injuries. Police were looking today for a hit Ida Cassel, Eighteenth 38, of street, while she was crossing Seventh street at Mount | The victim declined | Vernon place. hospital treatment. vehicles were asked to sign a pledge card that enumerates several rules for safe driving. “This campaign has grown by leaps and bounds, until it has become a vast civic movement in which every one of us should have a vital in-| terest. We believe this effort will do away with many street and high- way accidents and make the streets safer for both motorist and pedestrian and will develop among those who participate a finer spirit for the wel- fare of every resident of our city. “Therefore, be it resolved, That we, the members of the Lincoln Park Citi- zens’ Association, assembled this 21st day of October, 1935, heartily indorse | this safety campaign and will support it in every way possible, and that we extend our thanks and apprecia- tion to The Evening Star for the inauguration of such a fine move- ment, also that a copy of this reso- lution be sent to The Evening Star.” Your Savings are INSURANCE-PROTECTED HERE FEDERAL INSURANCE UP TO $§5,000 NOW BEING PAID He had | Kolijos was treated at Emer-| gency Hospital for possible rib frac- | tures and abrasions.

Rerouting of the bus line running from Seventeenth street and Penn- sylvahia avenue southeast to Nichols avenue and U street in Anacostia was requested of the Capital Transit Co. in a motion passed by the Anacostia Citizens’ Association at a meeting last night in the new Anacostia Junior- Senior High School, Sixteenth and R streets southeast. ‘The route now taken is by way of | Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge and Min- nesota avenue southeast, to the corner -| of Nichols avenue and U street, whence the bus returns over the same route.
