MACCABEES GROUP ACTVE IN SAFETY 600 Junior Courts Hear of Star’s Campaign and Spread Doctrine. 8ix hundred junior courts of the Maccabees, with a membership of more than 50,000 in all parts of the | United States, are taking an active | part in spreading the safety cam- paign of The Evening Star Safety | Council throughout the country, Every junior court has been asked to hold at least two meetings a year devoted to safety lessons, Willlam B. Bevere, District manager of the Mac- cabees, reported to The Star Council. The local campaign is being pushed on a national scale through the col- umns of the national bulletin of the order, in which appear the words of the song, “I Will Take Care,” writ- ten by Severe as his contribution to The Star safety drive. Star Drive Explained. “Quite an extensive program is being carried out by several organiza- tions co-operating with the Safety | Council of The Evening Star to pr vent serious accidents and deaths re- | sulting from automobile accidents,” it | is explained in the bulletin to all Maccabee officials. ~The junior courts of Detroit, with more than 4,000 members, adopted the song “and were learning to ‘Take Care’ and thus trying to co-operate with The Evening Star Safety Coun- cil,”” according to a report received by Bevere from Mrs. Louisa Minor, su- preme junior director in that city. At a recent meeting of Capitol Court, No. 3, District of Columbia, held at Northeast Masonic Temple, Mrs. Sarah H. Severe, court director, under the Golden Deeds program had the children write essays on safety,” it was explained in the report to the | council.

John Branan | stated he is a patrol boy at his school; that if cars would always stop before reaching the stop line and not rush | ahead before lights change many acci- | dents could be prevented. He told of | a boy he saved, who started across | the street. The driver of the car kept going and the boy would have been struck. Branan ran out, grabbed | the boy and pulled him back as the car passed on. He also warned chil- dren riding bicycles or on skates against holding on to ends of trucks, that when a truck turns to avoid street cars those on skates run the | risk of the skate wheels striking | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1935.

Don't weave or cut in and out of traffic or pass a car on the brow of a hill, “Show Courtesy.” “If a fellow motorist is in traffic difficulty, even though he is wrong, show him a little courtesy and give him a chance to extricate himself, He may be endangering others. “Drive slowly and carefully in & school zone and be on the alert lest some child may dart out from behind | & parked car.

You are never in such a hurry that you can’t spare these helpless little ones a few minutes.

Give them the right of way and a chance to reach the sidewalk. “Don’t chisel or hog in traffic lanes. Stay in your lane. The other fellow may be in a greater hurry than you. “Obey all ‘stop,” ‘slow,’ ‘cautious’ and ‘quiet zone' signs. They are placed there for a purpose. “If your lane of traffic is held -up and doesn’t start promptly, don't join the others in sounding your horn.
