Three-Cent Copper Safety Coin Proposed
There is now a bill before Congress, introduced by Rep¬
resentative Alfred F Reiter of New York, which would author¬
ize the United States Treasury to mint a three-cent copper
coin with a death’s head slumped on each side, to remind
reckless motorists to drive more slowly.
The sponsor argues that such a piece of money would be
likely to be quite efficient, and says:
“Gasoline sells for a few odd cents always, and a driver
buying gas couldn’t help but see a lew coins like that.
Maybe so; but If he can’t see speed and traffic signs—or
seeing them still ignores them—is he more likely to heed the
warning even on a pocket piece.—Atlanta Georgian.

The Citizens’ Military Training Camp
The 1938 Citizens’ Military Training Camp will beheld at
Fort Oglethorpe, Ga„ from June 16th to July 15th this year
The primary object of the CM f I (.amps is to give selected
young men the basic military training which will equip them
to serve their country more efficiently in ease the need should
arise and also to teach young men the basic principles of
American citizenship and self-government. A oung men do
not obligate themselves, however, to future military service b}
attending the camps. The camps are for young men of good
character ami sound physique who are between age of 17 and
21 years. The government pays all necessary expenses, inelud
ing transportation fares to camp and return. A two-year
scholarship has been presented by the University of Chatta¬
nooga to be awarded to an outstanding CM 1 C trainee at the
1938 camp at Fort Oglethorpe.
The camp routine follows this general plan: Mornings
are devoted to military training and instruction; afternoons
arc devoted to smimming, baseball, marksmanship and other
forms of athletics, with afternoon full-dress parades twice a
week; evenings are devoted to rest, stunt programs, musical
get-togethers and chaperoned dances.
For application blanks and further information, appli¬
cants should contact G. Roy Climer, Trenton, who has been
appointed county representative for Dade County for the CM 1
Camp.

Safety Follows “Clean-Up Week”
Spring clean-up week, which is an annual observance in
thousands of American communities and should be in all of
them, is in the olTing. The week was started primarily as a
beautifying movement—old shacks are torn down, vacant lots
are cleaned of debris, homes are painted, grass-grown fields
are cut and the harvest burned. It’s amazing liow little is
needed in many cases to change a squalid street to one that
is pleasant and charming to the eye.
Furthermore, something other than a better looking town
results from a clean-up week that is loyally and enthusiastic¬
ally supported by all citizens. For a sound, thorough clean-up
process is one of the best possible ways of getting rid of fire
hazards. A town which rids itself of old, unused buildings,
and which docs away with litter and grass-ridden lots, be¬
comes a far safer place in which to live and work.
Clean-up week should not stop at exteriors. As the Nation
al Board of Fire Underwriters points out, evrevone should go
through his home inside as well as out in search of fire dang¬
ers. A congested attic or basement, filled with ancient maga¬
zines and broken furniture and clothes that will never be
used again, it is the perfect starting plaec fora blaze. Frayed
or amateurishly repaired light cords, improperly stored in -
flammable liquids, dirty or worn healing units— from such
tiling), as these come fires*that destroy hundreds of millions
dollars worth of prop *rty and thousands of lives.
