Douglass High Sch Colored Community News WINIFRED SANDS JOHNSON, Editor 12-2826 Officer Gillett Addresses All Students At Douglass Officer Howell Gillett of the Florida Highway Patrol, southern division of the Safety Education Department of Public Safety with headquarters in Miami, Florida, | Save two addresses to the pupils of Douglass High School Tuesday, including grades 1-12, in the aud- itorium, : Officer Gillett reveiled some startling facts on accidents and their causes emphasizing the fact that accidents are not acts of God but are the direct results of care- lessness on the part of people. His particular emphasis was on automobile and traffic accidents. He revealed the startling fact of many automobile accidents that occur in Monroe County alone, listing as the chief causes: ex- cessive. speed, drunken drivers, out-passing, and driving on the wrong side of the road. He said that knowledge is the only. thing needed by a few good citizens to allow others to live. He also listed ‘the days on which most accidents occur in the descending order—Saturday, Sunday, Friday and Monday. He said that Tues- day and Wednesday are the safest days on which to drive. The most dangerous hours ac- cording to Officer Gillett are be- tween 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. After many fact ‘statements he left a thought “What Can I Do That Will Make the World a Bet- ter Place in Which to Live?” A movie was also shown in this connection. Through research in National Education Week the pupils found out the following facts: The United States has a higher accidental death per 100,000 popu- lation than all but a very few countries. This death rate is due ‘largely to the fact that the nation has more automobiles, rail- roads, electrical appliances, and other machines than any other machines ‘than any other country. How*tan ‘we’ prevent accidents? First, we can make our swround- ings. safer. We can reduce haz- ards inspublie buildings, streets, transportation agencies, factories, and mines, Second, we’ can ail develop”*‘safety alertness” ‘by fol- lowing ‘the rules laid dowr. * Many. accidents are caused in- pogo oo sehr a care- ful of their own ety -but_ in- considerate Of others. en ‘a ist persistently straddles two lanes of highway, he forces those who want to pass into a. dangePous: situation.

However, they are soliciting the well deserved support of the patrons of the school in proving their worth on the grid- iron. Moral support is as essential as the will to win in any sphere of athletics. The Tigers are present- ly trying to dispose of season ticket books with not. too much success in the vital area of the box office. important part of moral support, however, that should not deter a patron, or any. individual, from purchasing a season ticket to show his interest in supporting the build- ing of character of the colored youth of the community. The purchase of a season book is a small investment in the future that the football program at | Douglass is a direct deterrent to juvenile delinquency and forms of human ills that could af- flict these youngsters who «re fear- ing give and take in the proper manner, Every high school football team must seek support from its com- munity, and in this sense Douglass is no ‘different:from any other school. It is with this thought that this is written to ask patrons to consider the purchase of a sea- son ticket, a personal responsibil- iy, in order to contribute to te well being of the Douglass Tigers. In supporting the football team with the purchase of a season ticket a patron indirectly provides activity for a band, majorettes and cheerleaders. These are all solid character builders, ove of the | prime objectives of any educational program. Support of the Green and White of Douglass in its athletic pro- gram is a sign of civic pride since | the athletes developed today will be the citizens of Key West to- morrow, Let’s all get on the Green and White bandwagon and support it to a victorious season. Moral support is vital in any sphere of human relations. Make ‘te Tig- ers feel they are a part of the/| community by supporting them financially.

Not only is there the sorrow that death brings, but the financial obligations as well.} The Key West Citizen did much: through soliciting a fund to help! the Cash family, but since four members of the family had to be buried the expenses are stil great. Mr. Whatley, a very feeling- hearted man of the city has pledged himself to help Roosevelt Cash in his trying period and will put on a show at Wickers Stadium on October 5, featuring the cele- brated Jo Thompson.
