Motor vehicle traffic took 34,400 lives and caused about 1,200,000 non-fatal in- juries, 100,000 of which resulted in per- manent disability. Traffic deaths showed an increase of 6 per cent over 1939, but motor travel was 6 per cent greater. The 1940 traffic death toll was about 1,500 above that of 1930, while the annual mileage traveled was about 50 per cent The largest number of motor fatalities in ary year was 39,643 in 1937. Accidents in and about the home ac- 2,500 deaths last year, of to falls. about 4,- counted for Non-fatal home injuries totalled 750,000. Fatal accidents to persons at work numbered about 17,000, and deaths from side from traf- fic accidents, totalled 15,500.

This is Producer James Roose- velt’s first picture and it is ,an epochal one. The story is told ‘vividly, and without fear. Because he dared to preach kindness, Pastor Hall became an enemy of the state, taken from his home, from his pulpit and plunged into the living death of a prison camp. Thrown into camp with prison- ers who were once Germany’s | greatest men, he shared their fate | because like them, he believed in freedom. “Pastor Hall” stars Wilfrid Lawson, Nova Pilbeam and Sey- mour Hicks. It has been selected as one of the ten best pictures of the year by the New York Herald Tribune, Telegram and other important publications read by millions, ofa U. S.

Babcock today turn- ed in his resignation as a city councilman to Mayor Leslie A. Curry. Babcock said he had no hard feelings against his fellow councilmen, but feels “like get- ‘ting out of politics”. An eiglit-pound daughter was born yeSterday to Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Carbonell at their home on Fleming street. She has been named Loretta Ellen. Mrs. Robert Austin, Jr., was elected president of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Presbyterian church at a meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. F. A. Schumacher, 1326 Grinnell street. Mrs, William H. White was named vice-piesident, Mrs. Kate Eldridge, secretary, and Mrs. W. H. Norman, treasurer. The Citizen, in editorial para- graphs, said: “If Florida Motor Lines decides to discontinue bus service be- ‘tween this city and Miami, Key West will be the loser. Operation of the busses has increased travel between here and the Magic City: .. | “In Kev West and in practically every other city in the country, ‘the person who ‘hollers’ loudest about what the chamber of com- merce doesn’t do is the one who never-in his life gave a penny to its support. . . “The Tampa Tribune bitterly assails the policy which sent and is keeping United States marines in Nicaragua. The Tribune must have overlooked the very evident fact that the United States must” either do that sort of thing or abandon the Monroe Doctrine. This latter, the Tribune may, feel, she should do. In such case, however, this should be done be- fore we begin refusing to live up to the obligations the doctrine imposes”. Personals—Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Edwards returned here after a visit of a few days in Havana. . Robert W. Pinder, who went to| Miami Thursday for a visit with frends, returned here this morn- ing. .
