May 2, 1946 Find Better-Lit Roads Cut Accident Toll A pedestrian crossing the street I at night in the middle of the block | has 12 times as much chance of be ing killed as when he crosses at an intersection, a Connecticut traffic survey showed. In reviewing cir cumstances surrounding 1,874 traf fic fatalities on the streets of the 10 principal Connecticut cities the survey showed that 7(i per cent of the fatalities occurred on 13 per cent of the total street mileage of the cities. Seventy-one per cent of the fatalities occurred at night. During part of the 15-year period covered by the study, street light ing was improved on 00 miles of the more dangerous streets. The survey indicates that traffic fatalities on these re-lighted streets dropped 07 per cent. In Cleveland, a similar study was made of accident figures on a por tion of road where street lighting had been improved. A comparison of accident statistics for the year before and the year after the light ing improvement showed a 47 per cent decrease in the rate of night accidents. During this same period a 12 per cent increase in day acci dents on this same stretch of road ) was attributed to increased use of j the street.

I i REFINANCE OLD-FASHIONED MORTGAGE LOANS THIS MODERN, EASY WAY Old-fashioned mortgages that require big semi annual or annual payments never seem to fall due at a convenient time. Despite good intentions and budgeting, unforseen expenses nibble away at savings and the borrower is un able to make large, lump-sum payments. Paying interest alone never brought anyone closer to home ownership. It is not necessary to continu ■ struggling along with such a contract. You can refinance through our associa tion. We will pay off your old mortgage and work out a program fitted to your budget where you repay us in con venient monthly installments — just like rent. Monthly payments include principal, interest, . . . and bring you to debt-free home ownership. wederal Savings AN D LOAN ASSOCIATION PERRY, GEORGIA S. A. NUNN, President F. M. HOUSER.

A physician extracted a bullet from Scott’s leg and reported the injury as minor. CLASSIFIED ADS RATES: 50c minimum one in sertion; 1c per word each addi tional insertion or minimum of 25c.

Loves America, School Profits Former Sicilian Immigrant Donates $150,000 to Rural Institution. BAKERSFIELD, CALIF.—A Sicil ian immigrant has just endowed a tiny rural school 20 miles east of here with $150,000 and 40 acres of 1 rich farm land. During 57 years in the United i States, he has become a multimil ; lionaire and a devout exponent of j Americanism, says the Associated Press. Joseph Di Giorgio wants Rockpile i school (attendance, 183) to surpass ! metropolitan institutions in provid ! !ng the foundation for good citizen j ship. To that end he has laid down a program of “five A’s” for Rock- I pile’s scholastic credo; Athetics, for channeling the ener gies of its pupils. Academic expression. The development of good atti tudes. Americanism. i Agricultural training. Lays Out Program, j The over-all plan includes a nur | sery for preschool age children of i ’arm labor families in the remote district it serves, a kindergarten, *iome economics laboratories, play grounds and a community swim ming pool. This program was evolved by the Doard of trustees for Rockpile school district and Gerald E. Den oerlein, the school’s principal, in | collaboration with Di Giorgio. Di Giorgio’s interest in rural edu- | nation stems from his own boyhood. | When he came to New York alone i it 14 he had had only a few years’ Instruction in a village school. His first job was in a wholesale fruit warehouse at eight dollars a week. Then he got a pushcart and peddled his own fruit and vegeta o'es. At 19 he managed to borrow 115,000 from a Baltimore, Md., bank and began importing Jamaica oranges. Two years later he was manager of the Monumental Trad ing company in Baltimore and a di rector of the Maryland National bank. Extends Operations. Later he extended his operations io Washington, establishing a small jobbing business. By the time he was 25 he had a banana import ing concern which ultimately oper ated 29 ships under chatter. Now 71, he heads the vast Di Giorgio Fruit corporation, with sub sidiary farms, packing houses, rail roads and wholesale produce out lets. Rockpile school borders Di Giorgio farms, where some 6,000 acres of fruit trees, grapes and choice vegetables are under cultiva tion. His rural philanthropies also in clude two gifts of $25,000 each for development of public parks in Del- : ano and Arvin, farming commu nities near his holdings. Di Giorgio has no children of his j awn, but he is the patriarch of a large clan of nieces and nephews. ■ Some of his grandnieces and grand- j nephews have attended Rockpile , school and more will come. That is why, his friends say, Di | Giorgio is determined to give sue- ■ : cessive farm generations the basic I understanding of America’s mode of j i life—a philosophy which Di Giorgio [ learned the hard way. [s Baldness Sign of Old Age? Eagles Don’t Admit It TOWER, MlNN.—Baldness in hu man beings may be a sign of feeble j ness and old age, but in eagles it doesn’t mean a thing! Authority for this startling revela tion are the inspectors of a northern Minnesota power company. The trouble began when the in spectors complained of being at tacked by vicious dogs, stinging | bees and stubborn goats while trudging through the wilderness. Accordingly the power company decided to send them by plane. Now the inspectors complain that bald eagles have attacked them on sev ■ oral occasions and forced them off ' their course. | - - - 'Buffalo Bill’ Proponent For Western Reclamation Although best known for his ex ploits against Indians and later for his spectacular Wild West show, . Cody, notes the National Geograph ic society, also was a moving figure in far-sighted enterprises for devel oping the Rocky mountain re gion. 1 Aware that a plentiful and con | stant water supply was necessary ; if farming was to succeed in dry areas, Cody became interested in establishing an irrigation project in : the Shoshone river valley. At the opening of the 20th century he ob tained water rights and turned them over to the United States govern ment when the latter agreed to con struct a dam and reservoir under the newly-enacted reclamation law. The site chosen was west of the infant community of Cody, named for “Buffalo Bill” and eager to prof it not only from its western front ier atmosphere but from its near ness to Yellowstone park. Now the thriving town contains many me mentoes of its famous namesake; even the house in which he was born has been moved there. Hemoglobin Needled For Supplying Energy Formed from an iron compound and protein, hemoglobin carries oxygen from the lungs to the tis sues, where the oxygen is used in producing energy and building tis sues. The way to avoid a lack is to include in the day’s menus foods that build hemoglobin. Important hemoglobin builders are iron and protein, copper and certain vita mins are also believed to play im portant roles. Foods to eat for iron are lean meat, particularly liver, egg yolk, 1 green leafy vegetables, dried beans and molasses. For protein, include milk, cheese, eggs, meat, bread and whole grain cereals. Milk is a poor source of iron, but fortunately babies are born with a supply deposited in their bodies. It is large enough to meet their needs until they can eat and digest foods containing more iron. Most of this deposit is made in the last three months of pregnancy; there fore pregnant women need plenty of foods rich in iron. Premature babies are often anemic, as are full-term infants whose mothers’ diets lacked sufficient iron during this period. “““—— ATHLETES FOOT ITCH NOT HARD TO KILL. IN ONE HOUR.
