PAG^i) FOUR ROriBNDALE NEWS FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1938 TO MAKE NEW YORK STATE s SAFE FOR SUMMER DRIVING Law enforcement agencies, traffic courts and the State Motor Vehicle Bureau have joined forces In their campaign to make New York State sa f for summer driving. Police ofSceis, both of the State constabulary and of communities all over the State, together with traffic court officials have declared their In tentions to \crack down ” on reckless and high speed drivers. At the same time, Commissioner Charles A. Harnett says the Motor Vehicle Bureau would continue to wield it ’ s most effective weapon — sus pension and revocation of licenses to drive. Pointing to the 801 persons in New York State killed last year dur ing June, July and August, Commis sioner Harnett said figures compiled traffic deaths sky-rocket each year during these three months. He cited more cars on the highways and vaca tion periods for school children and workers as leading contributory fac tors. Encouraged by a state-wide decrease in motor accidents thus far this year, safety officials are hopeful that the campaign will check the usual high summer accident toll which would -probably mar the State ’ s accident record. During the first five months of this year, New York State shows a 17.9 per cent reduction in traffic deaths over the corresponding period of last year. Should this downward trend continue, Harnett said New York would have one of the finest accident records in the nation for 1938. An important spearhead of the 1 summer campaign will be an attempt child fatalities occuring during the June-August period. “We hope to Impress the motorist with the necessity of driving carefully in localities where children are at play, ” the Commissioner declared. “ The actions of children are unpre dictable. In thoughtless moments, in tent on play, teachings are often for gotten and they dart into the street. If the motorist is travelling at high speed, a life is lost, The only pre ventive lies in defensive driving at controllable rates of speed. ’ — -------- 0 ----------- RULE FOR DRIVERS Strict enforcement by State Police after July I of a new “ keep to the right ” law for motorists has been ordered. The statute, enacted by the 1938 legislature, provides that the driver of a vehicle “ when upon a highway out side of a business or residen- dial district shall use the traffic lane at the extreme right, except when passing a vehicle, pedestrian, animal or other substantial object in such lane. ” In ordering troopers to en force the ruling, Major John A. Warner, superintendent of State Police, said drivers who fall to keep in the right lane “ create a traffic hazard which is contributor to the accident factor. ” ------------ O ------------ Transatlantic Steamship-Service On April 23, 1838, Great Western, the first steamship built expressly for transatlantic service, reached New York, having left Bristol, Eng land, on April 8. A few hours ear lier, Sirius, chartered for a single trip, had arrived from Cork. Great crowds acclaimed their arrival, of ■which one New York editor wrote, in terms not unlike those used by others many years later in writing of the inauguration of transoceanic telephone service: “ A new era has come upon us — skill, science and enterprise have brought us in closer contact with a fatherland . . . Time and space have been measurably annihilated . . . Two great nations ATTENTION ...CARD PARTY...

W. T. Sherman noti fied President Lineoln of the fall of Savannah, Ga., the following dis patch to the President, dated from Savannah on December 22, reached Lincoln on Christmas eve: “ I beg to present you as a Christmas gift the city of Savannah, with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition, also about 25,000 bales of cotton. (Signed by W. T. Sherman, major-general.) ’ ’ According to various authorities Sherman wrote this message and did not telegraph it. He had estab lished communication with the fieet on his arrival in Savannah several days before, so that word was sent to Washington of his safe arrival, the first word from him since No vember 12. Salt Long in Use The story of salt is so closely al lied to that of civilization from the beginning of time that it is impos sible to trace its discovery. Nearly two thousand years ago the Egyptians used it to preserve their food; and in the days of the Roman empire soldiers were paid in .salt — hence the word “salary ” from the Latin “ sal ” meaning salt. An an cient custom which is recognized in some parts, is that once a man had broken bread and eaten salt with an other, he could never be his enemy. Refusal to partake of his salt was tantamount to a declaration of en mity. Salt is a mineral, otherwise known as chloride of sodium, com pounded of the non-metal chlorine and the metal sodium. Floating Steel A piece of solid iron or steel will sink in water. Shaped into a vessel or container that will hold a large amount of air, it will float on wa ter, just like our great iron ships. Though the steel in the ship is much heavier than the water, it Is the weight of the ship as a whole that counts. Provided that this weight, with its cargo and large air space, is less than the weight of an equal Kingston High 11 Graduates Eleven graduated from Kingston High School from the Town of Rosendale; they are — Loretta Hinkley, Binnewater.
