TWO MORE BREAK-INS
Burglars were on the prowl in
Athens against last night, with two
more business establishments re
porting trouble, Chief Clarence
Roberts said today.
However, the burglars failed to
enter one place, the Bisson Motor
cycle shop on West Broad street.
City Detectives Hardy and Mc-
Kinnon reported that an attempt
was made to remove some con
crete blocks in the wall of the
building. A similar job was pulled
Saturday night at the Classic City
Post No. 185 in the same vicinity,
On that caper the burglars re
moved several concrete blocks and
entered the building.
The second victim last night was
the Classic City Beverage Com
pany on Thomas street. The door
weas found forced open and a small |
quantity of beer was reported
missing.
Police believe that the two
break-ins over the week-end and
those last night can be accredited
to the same outfit.

The chase ended when the driv

100 Georgians !
ExpectedTo *
Die In Summer
Nearly 700 Georgians will die
in accidents during the summer
months unless something is done
to reduce the normal rate of va
cation-time accidents.
This warning to the people of
Georgia was given by the Geor
gia Safety Council and the Geor
gia chapters of the American Red
Cross as they combined in a cru
sade to reduce the number of
needless vacation accidents, The
vacation safety campaign will
continue through the summer
months to educate the public
through newspapers, radio, pam
phlets, posters and safety classes
in vacation safety precautions.
Slogan for the campaign is: “Dan
ger takes no vacation.”
According to the Safety Council
and the Red Cross, a projection
from past experiences indicates
that 678 Georgians will be killed
in accidents during the vacation
period. Of these, 259 will die in
traffic accidents and 419 others
will be killed by causes ranging
all the way from excessive sun
burn or snakebite to boating and
swimming tragedies.
William E. Mitchell, president
of the Georgia Safety Council,
said that many vacation accidents
can be prevented by nothing more
than “good common sense” such
as not being careless or cowboy
ing in cars, checking the depth and
bottom before diving into strange
‘water, and not taking foolish
chances just because it's vacation
time, Many other summer trage
dies can be averted by knowing
the principles of swimming and
boating safety, basic first-aid, and
other subjects taught by the Red
Cross.
“But most effective,” said
Mitchell, “will be to impress on
everyone in Georgia the fact that
‘Danger takes no vacation'.”
