How To Make S-D Day a Big Success
A nationwide attempt to makfe the Amer-
ican public a little more conscious of the
need for traffic safety occurs tomorrow. It is
S-D (Safe Driving) Day. r
Sponsor of the observance is a President s
Action Committee for Traffic Safety set Up
bv President Eisenhower, who has officially
proclaimed Dee. 15 as S-D Day. Proclamations
at the state and local level have been issued
hf Gov. Allan Shivers and Mavof Joe Run-
nels Jr. • x
The success or failure of the observance
to meet its objective, however rests *ith
the people behind the steering wheels. Their
willingness to pay attention to a few simple
nrecautions, not only tomorrow', but on ah
subsequent days, can make the elaborate
planning which is going into S-D Day pay
off in accidents prevented, or it can make
the whole thing a waste qf time.
Here, briefly, are the committee’s safety
recommendations for drivers, plus a few for
pedestrians: -Se
< Be sportsmanlike on every drive.
Obey all traffic signs.
Keep speed reasonable—but don’t drive
so slow as to impede traffic.
Start earlier and drive slower. You 11
feel better and live longer.
Let the other fellow have the right-of-
/ way—vou use the right way'.
Stay in line—don’t be an eager weaver.
Don’t pass unless there’s plenty of room.
Obtain and review a copy of your local
traffic regulations.
Reduce speed at sundown so you're within
range of your headlights.
Stay behind another car at least one car
length for each 10 miles of speed.
Stay in vour lane at hillcrests and curves.
•_ Be extra alert at intersections; don’t pass
”iat intersections.
Alwavs signal your intention to turn or
. stop.
Don’t drive when you drink—or when
you are angry or emotionally upset
Have ypur brakes, lights, windshield
wipers, tires and steering cheeked before
- S-D Day.
If the w'eather is bad, don’t drive unless
; you must. If you drive, double your care.
: Cross only at crosswalks.
Before crossing, look both ways.
Cross only on proper signal.
Watch for turning cars.
Never go into the roadway between park-
ed cars. , .
If there is no sidewalk, and you must
walk in the roadway, walk-on left, facing
traffic.
Carry or wear something white at night,
to help drivers see you.
Keep Posted on City Government
During the next two years a new form
of municipal government is going to be on
trial in Orang^ and chances are the end of
that period will bring an election at which
the city’s voters will say whether they want
to keep the plan or discard it.
To be completely qualified to help decide
this issue, if and when it is submitted in an
election, every voter should have at least a
little first-hand knowledge about how the
city government operates.
One of the best ways to get such knowl-
ings.
The council’s first session since the new
citv manager went to work will be held in
City Hall tonight, it will be an extremely im-
portant meeting with a number of vital mat-
ters* on the agenda.
By attending and hearing the discussion
on these issues any voter wilHbe a little bet-
ter equipped to make an intelligent decision
as to whether municipal affairs are being
carried on as they should be.
Every voter should make it a point to
attend as many City Commission meetings
as possible. Municipal government, to all
of us, should be something real and personal
—something we are a part of even if only
in the role of spectator at the sessions where
the city's business is transacted.
One of Benamin Franklin’s letters was
sold at auction the other day for $2,650. If
t alive today, poor Richard probably would
."..'Condemn that outlay as an inexcusable waste.
Maybe the thugs who held up an over-
:.the-river bar and kidnaped the bartender
Hyanted some expert education in the art of
mixing drinks.

By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK (AP) 2- Sidewalk
reflections of a pavement Plato:
f ‘'Save Greenwich Village!”
This anguished cry has arisen
again, as it1 does at least once a
—year.
Progress just
won't let Green-
wich Village
alone. Nobody
ever suggests
moving the
Statue of Liber-
ty to the Bronx

Brooklyn Bridge.
~ ! But time and
change are al-
ways nibbling
a w a y at old
Greenwich
Village, which is
in some ways a real civic land-
mark and in other ways is just an
attitude of mind.
The orges of the moment are the
members of the City Planning
Commission. The site they have
selected for a new junior high
school playground in the Village
may require the, razing of three of
the most picturesque old dwellings
in the Bedford Street area. ■ ■■.»
Old Cry I
Residents have rushed to the
ramparts anew with the old cry,
"Save Greenwich Village!”
Whether they win or lose this
particular battle, the partisans ap-
pear to be fighting for a lost cause
In their long...-campaign to keep
Greenwich Village intact from the
inroads of the Philistines.
it seems a real shame, too.
What the cable car is to San Fran-
ciso, what the French Quarter is
to New Orleans. Greenwich Vil-
lage is to New York City—a Sym-
bol of the past amid the bustle of
today.
Throughout the nation Green-
wich Village has a legendary rep-
utation as the Palm Beach of Bo-
hemiamsm, the Coney Island of
the long-haired intelligentsia, and
the sinful paradise of those who
believe in free love and free verse.
It really hasn't lived up to that
flamboyant reputation for some
time now, not since the end of
prohibition spelled the death of the
speakeasy. Playboy tourists who
go there now in search of thrills
are likely to feel vaguely cheated.
Moved On
"Where are all the characters?”
they want to know. Well, most of
the characters ha\e died or moved
on Greenwich Village is no longer
the home of so many fabulous
transients in. Arcady. The people
whb dwell there work harder than
they play. But there are few com-
munities’ in the world more pleas-
ing to live in. few that can match
its easygoirig atmosphere of
warmth and friendliness.
High rents as well as changing
times forced most of the Bohemi-
afts to move on. But one out of
every three young persons who
come to seek fame and fortune in
the big city tries first to find an
apartment in Greenwich Village.
Thdy olive there, sustained by
hamburgers and high hopes, until
they get a start in their careers.
After marrying, they usually move
out to the suburbs.

Q. How can I prevent croquettes
from sticking to the wire basket?
A. If a wire basket is used for
frying croquettes dip the basket
into hot fat before placing in the

be easv to remove.
Q. How can 1 make a shampoo?
By DON WHITEHEAD
For James Marlow
y WASHINGTON (-AP) — Behind the Bamboo
” Curtain of Red China today there is an American
boy who can’t forget his home and those he loves.
Richard Tennesonr turned his back on his coun-
try, family and his friends when he walked into
the world of the Communists rather than accept
repatriation in. the exchange of Korean prisoners.
But the memories are still there. Even n«W
Tie's haunted by memories of the music of Ameri-
ca—melodies which will tear at his heart and
conscience's lon&.as he lives, so help him God.
Recently Tenneson wrote his mother in Minne-
sota asking hpr to send him music of such sen-1
timental songs as "White Christmas” and “Dear
Hearts and Gentle People.”
Richard Tenneson is groping for solace in music
as our people have for centuries, and as they always
will.
Even in war, they found comfort in music . . .
Jn North Africa, solHiers gathered around their
radios at night and searched the wavelengths until
they found the music they wanted. Always it was
music. Perhaps it was a French song ’or an Ameri-
can dance band or their favorite. "Lili Marlene,”
the German ballad.
Across Italy and France and Germany the sol-
diers paused to play the pianos in the battered
houses. Sometimes the notes, could be heard above
the rattle of gunfire in the streets outside.
In Liege, Belgium, the Germans had retreated.
The little night club opened Its door* for the first
time in months. A makeshift Belgian band was
trying hard but It was a pretty dismal effort un-
til the blackout curtains"parted and six Gli strode
into the room.
The six Americans nad the grime of the in-
fantry on them. Yo^ jpnew they were combat men
by their young-old faces. They stacked their car-
bines and went to the bandstand and the Belgians
handed them the musical instruments.
They poured out their hearts jn music that
night, those GIs. They exulted in the wild freedom
of jazz and washed away their loneliness in the
blues from the bayou country. Then they laid
down the instruments, picked up their carbines,
and walked into the night where the darkness was
broken by the flashes of artillery fire.
I'm sure they were happier because the music
had brought them nearer home and the things
they would return to in a few more months.
Business Mirror:
Common Cold Boosts Sales
Despite Loss of Work Days
By SAM DAWSON
NEW YORK (AP)—The common cold costs
business ip this country about 150 million work days
' a year. That runs into money, so a group of indus-
trialists are forming the Common Cold Founda-
tion and barking a new try for a
cure, and preventative, or both.
The cold season, however, ha°
other niches in the business work
than the loss of man hours or th>
drop in efficiency.
For one thing, there’s a grow-
ing market for the various treat-i.
ment and device* that Individual
Americans now swear bv when
they seek relief from the on-
slaught — which the Cnited
States Public Health Service
estimate will tally 500 million
colds in this country in the next
12 months.
The common cold, moreover, is
a prime salesman in the season flow getting under
way, for the makers of such things as storm doors
and windows, or the latest in furnaces, and for the
peddlers of fuel. It is also a star salesman for
whiskey—although- some contend a cold is more
of an excuse than a selling point.
The first of the season’s epidemic of sniffles
also zdbmed the sale of mufflers, overcoats, rubbers
and electric blankets. This month the first chilly
blasts oCwin+cr,-by little if any coincidence, hit the
Ehstem Seaboard about the time that light fuel
oil prices went up around a half cent a gallon and
heavy-fuel oil went up 10 tovl5 cents a barrel.
And. finally, the stepped-up scientific search for
a cure or preventative for the common cold also
induces some firms who manufacture cold treat-
ments to look forward to the day when that busi-
ness might fold, should the discovery come along.
And so they are diversifying now into other lines.

En route to town, the local Santa blundered
into an Army field maneuver; tripped and rolled
down a bank. A sentinel heard the commotion and
fired a blank. Other soldiers blazed away with
blanks, too. The din was tremendous.
Santa hitched up his stomach padding and fled.

t). How can I test the quality of
coffee? *,
A. Pour about a tablespoon of
ground coffee into a cup of cold
water. If the coffee floats and
colors the water very slowly, it is
Pure. If any of the coffee sinks
to the bottom, or stains the water
quicklv, there is some adulterant
present.
Q. How should dye be prepared
when using?
A. Strain the dye through mus-
lin before adding it to the water.
Then there is no danger of spoiling
the articL by a few particles of
undissolved dye spotting it.
Q. How can I prevent shedding
of bristles of a new paint brush?
A. T!» will not happen if the
handle olared in warm water
up to the bristles before using.
ROGERS
stantin Sergeyevich Stanislavsky, |
the Russian stage director whose
"system” of' acting today even in-
fluences the veriest BroAdway
tyro.,
Much has been written and de-
bated abbut Stanislavsky, and this
volume, efficiently translated by
Miriam Goldina from the writings
of one of Stanislavsky's hero-wor-
shipping students is a worthwhile
if somewhat limited supplement to
the literature about this most in-
fluential of directors.
Gorchakov, providing the main
text with a few personals before-
and after reminiscences, submits
here copious and detailed notes
which are Ian almost minute-by-
minute accounting of how the
maestro of the Moscow Art
Theatre handled the staging of six
shows back in the 20’s.
It is a volume for the dedicated
rather than dilettante, however,
permeated as the notes are with a
slightly faded and faraway feel-
ing of fanatically precise reporting j
about some fairly obscure dramas
filled with difficult names, refer-
ences to players with equally dif-
ficult names and a sometimes be-
wildering ambivalent presentation
of the record.
