OGDENSBURG JOURNAL! ~*nmmi»mmmwf>> •»• \ji'ji..»iimi!m>.'H\n v j,ii: HII^K,; 1 .J» r SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 12, 1938 PAGE FIVE \ Dinneen Says Young People Driving at Excessive Speed Cause Most Fatal Accidents \I was deeply affected by the tragic death of young Tom McLel- lan,\ William F. Dinneen, Deputy- Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, and Democratic County Chairman stated yesterday. Mrs. Dinneen and I are long time friends of the McLellan fam- ily and the tragedy was especially great to us,\ Mr. Dinneen said. \Tom's death should be an object lesson to young people who are driving cars, and many of whom will share his fate unless they change their methods of driving.\ Mr. Dinneen said that the De- partment of Motor Vehicles in Al- bany of which he is deputy com- missioner has made exhaustive studies of all automobile accidents In the State on which information is available. Over a period of years they have been able to find out the causes of fatal and other motor car accidents. \In almost every case the cause of fatal accidents is speed,\ Mr. Dinneen said. \This is almost in- variably the cause of fatal acci- dents in which young people are involved. In a very small percent- age of such accidents is there found to be a structural fault in the car, a blowout, or other cause, it is almost always a high rate of speed. At excessive speed it is dif- ficult for an adult and skillful driver to control his car, and al- most impossible for a 16 or 17 year old youth.\ Mr. Dinneen said he is opposed to junior licenses. These are given to young people between 16 and 18 years of age. \Junior licenses were first granted on the request of far- mers whose children had to drive to school or drive a car to help with farm work. All went well for a while and groups of city people came to Albany and wanted junior licenses for their children. They were finally granted against much, opposition in the Department of Motor Vehicles, although we have never given junior licenses for use in New York City or the Metropol- itan district. \Junior licenses are not good one half hour after dark or earlier than one half hour before sunrise. Any holder of a junior license driving at night is doing so in vio- lation of the law. I am in favor of vigorous enforcement of this law against youthful drivers who are on the highways at night,\ Com- missioner Dinneen said. \I think that local police officials and the State Troopers should stop all young drivers they find at nignt, examine their licenses, and if they have junior licenses or none at all, vigorously prosecute them and punish them. Only in this way can the appalling increase in terrible accidents with young drivers be Stopped.\ Mr. Dinneen said young people all seem to have a mania for speed! \We find in investigation of fatal accidents that young people generally are involved themselves or cause accidents involving oth- ers due to excessive and uncon- trollable speed. Older people sel- dom are killed, because they do not as a rule drive as fast. Acci- dents caused by adult drivers more often result in broken bones or minor injuries, but accidents caused by young drivers are more often fatal.\ Mr. Dinneen thinks Federal leg- islation requiring governors on all cars limiting their speed to 45 or EO miles an hour is inevitable and is the only way to really stop the mounting list of automobile fatali- ties. \One State cannot effectively do this, it should be done by the Fed- eral government for all the States, and this is being very seriously talked now by the motor vehicle departments of many of the pro- gressive states and by national traffic authorities. Most fatal acci- dents could be prevented if drivers FRANK ELLIS, 86, DIES AT CANTON HOME Canton—Frank Ellis, 86, former grade crossing flagman, died Fri- day afternoon at the home of his step-daughter, Mrs. Frank Riv- ers, 82 Buck St. Mr. Ellis was born Nov. 9, 1852 in Hermon and spent his early life there. He married Mrs. Carrie Kipp of Canton and they made their home here until her death in 1919, when he went to live with his step-daughter, Mrs. Rivers. He leaves surviving one daugh- ter, Mrs. Pearl Osborne, Syracuse, and one son, Lyman Ellis of Liv- erpool, three stepdaughters, Mrs. Rivers of Canton, Mrs. R. L. Smith of Brooklyn, and Mrs. Byron Tay- lor of Black River; one stepson, William Kipp of Brasher FaUs; two grandchildren, Robert Ellis of Liverpool and Albert Rivers of Canton. Funeral services wiU be held at the home of Mrs. Rivers, 82 Buck St., Monday at 11 a.m., Rev. N. Lascelles-Ward, of Grace Church, officiating, interment will be at Fairview Cemetery. would go at a moderate rate of speed, but they won't, and the only way to stop the slaughter on our highways is to make it impos- sible for an automobile to go over 50 miles an hour.\ \There are several young peo- ple in Ogdensburg who are driving illegally under junior licenses and whom I know are driving reckless- ly and at racing speeds,\ Mr. Din- neen continued. \I have seen them myself and have heard about many of them in the last few days. Unless the parents of these boys and girls insist on their driving at moderate speeds and insists on them obeying the law and not driv- ing at night, I am afraid,that Og- densburg will be shocked by more tragic accidents in which young lives will be snuffed out or prom- ising young people crippled and maimed for life.\ Why Not Older CHRISTMAS CARDS Now?

Lalonde, well known local carpenter, died at the A. Barton Hepburn Hospital about 11:45 Friday night. He had been a patient there since Nov. 8. He was born in Coteau Landing, Que., Dec. 28, 1867, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gasper Lalonde. As a youth he came to this country with his parents. He had since resided in Ogdensburg and for many years was employed by the late John A. Wert, contractor. Mr. La- londe had been in failing health the past three years. About two and a half years ago he under went an operation for the amputa- tion of his leg. Mrs. Lalonde, the former Julia Cote, died last January. Mr. Lalonde was a devout mem- ber of Notre Dame Church and his funeral will be held from that church Monday morning at 8 o'clock. The body was removed, from the Lalonde Funeral parlors this morning to the home of his son, Arthur Lalonde, 1407 Greene St. Services will be conducted from the home at 7:30. Burial will be in Notre Dame Cemetery. Surviving are six sons, Arthur, Leo and Hector, all of this city; George Lalonde Jr. of Saratoga Springs, Fred of Detroit and Hen- ry Lalonde of Lake Placid. A brother, Gasper Lalonde of Mon- treal also survives. HEanpunRTEos FOB X H R!5 T m R H CARDS una STdTiorrEcv STATE REPORT ON HEUVELTON MADE PUBLIC Albany — Commendation, and only a few criticisms, in connec- tion with the conduct of fiscal af- fairs of the village of Heuvelton, St. Lawrence County, during the period from Mar. 1, 1936, to Aug. 18, 1937, are contained in the latest report of examination of the village's firnances by members of the staff of State Comptroller Morris S. Tremaine. A summary of the report has been prepared by the bureau of municipal accounts in the State department of audit and control, and copies have been forwarded to local officials. The summary con- tains the following: \AH official oaths and under- takings were found to have been properly executed and filed. The Examiners are complimentary as to the manner in which the Vil- lage Treasurer performs the du- ties of his office. \The Examiners are likewise complimentary as to the records in the office of the Village Clerk as all the records were apparently maintained in commendable fash- ion. The Examiners made some suggestions as to a system of fil- ing to be used by the Cleric and also that greater care be exercised in classifying expenditures as shown by the orders drawn on the treasury. The classification shown in the Treasurer's auunal report to the State Comptroller should be followed. \The proceedings relating to the assessment, levy and collection of taxes likewise disclosed a satisfac- tory condition. It was noted that the Board of Trustees had acted prematurely on the budget per- mitting a hearing thereon. A de- tailed examination of the claims audited and allowed indicated some oversights in that certain claims were not properly itimized. It also appears that Section 332 of the Tillage Law which prohibits an officer to be directly or indi» rectly interested in a contract which he or a board, of which he is a member, is authorized to make on behalf of the village, had been violated and furthermore, that a payment had been made to one of the trustees for assisting In the preparation of the annual budgets and attending hearings thereof. No authority was known which authorized these payments, \The Examiners conclude the report by stating their appreciation, for the courteous treatment ex- tended to them by village officials and also that many Improvements were noted in the administration of village affairs since the prior ex- amination of the village.\ $14,517 SPENT HERE BY NYA SINCE JAN. 1 Edward Benton, supervisor of the NYA this morning announced that since Jan. 1 the NYA has spent in Ogdensburg $14,517.92 and outside of the city in the rest of the county $2,985.39. This makes a total expenditure in 8t. Lawrence County in the last 10 months of $17,503.31. \The NYA has spent in salaries here in the city in the paat 10 months $11,299.00,\ he said while the remainder $1,218.83 was spent in materials with Ogdensburg mer- chants. \In St. Lawrence County 27 proj- ects are now operating. Fifteen in the City of Ogdensburg. Ninety- four youth are receiving employ- ment from the National Youth Ad- ministration. Forty-four boys are receiving training in wood-work at the NYA work-center in Ogdens- burg. The balance of the youth are receiving training and experience in Clerkical, Home-economics, and Library Work. The youth work 50 hours per month and receive from $14.00 to $20.00 per month, rate of pay depending upon type of work and the grade of work being done by the youth. \We have a complete work cen- ter and the state department Is pointing to the work turned out here by the youth.\ Mr. Ben- ton this morning also appealed to the citizens to turn in all broken toys. \If we want to have a success- ful Christmas we must get the toys now,\ he said. \It takes time to repair them and repaint them. If the people will call either myself or the police we will gladly pick them up.\ BOOSTER FAIR PLANS READY FOR BIG EVENT Ready for the grand opening Wednesday night, the Booster Fair committee today stated that when the armory doors open for the big four day event, residents of Og- densburg and vicinity will have an opportunity to enjoy much enter- tainment and at the same time as- sist in. a charitable enterprise.

This means a weekly payroll of $1960. \If we refuse to give them any more money, then the WPA will close the project.

Rev # PMJI H. Conrad REV. CONRAD TO SPEAK AT UNION SERVICE The Rev. Paiul H. Conrad of Syr- acuse will be the speaker at the 11 o'clock Sunday morning service in the First Baptist Church and at the Union Service to be held at evening. Rev. Conrad is Baptist Promo- tional Director for the State of New York, wlllh headquarters at Syracuse. Whten appointed to his present office Mr. Conrad was pas- tor of the Rutherford Baptist Church in New Jersey. After the World War, in which he served as a Lieutenant of Field Artillery, he entered Y.M.C.A work in Brooklyn. During this time he assisted Dir. Rivington D, Lord for three years as preacher at the evening services in the First Church. In 1822 he was called to the Religious Work Secretaryship of the Y.M.C.A. in Newark, N. J., and served there until 1928. During that entire period Mr. Conrad served as precentor in Peddle Memorial Church in New- ark on Sunday evenings, while he was choir director, deacon, and teacher of young men's class at Emmanuel Baptist Church on Sunday mornings. In 1928 Mr. Con- rad became pastor of the Baptist Church at Stelton, N, J., and was ordained there in December of that year. He went to the Rutherford Church in 1930.

A large delegation from the local service group Is planning to attend the meeting which Is being sponsored by the Montreal Kiwan- is Club.

LAGROVE PASSES AWAY IN BALDWINSVILLE Relatives here received word this noon of the death of Mrs. Elizabeth McCleary LaGrove who died this morning at her home in Baldwinsville. A former resident of Madrid and Massena, Mrs. LaGrove also re- sided for a time at Finch, Ont. Her husband, the late Alex LaGrove, died during the past summer.

Miss Maible Ellinor Noyes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Noyes of Kingston, Ont., and a niece of Mrs. Joseph Loehren of this city, became the bride of Al- ford Roohefcirt, Monday morning at St. Mary\s Cathedral in King- ston, Ont, Mrs. Arnold McGlynn was ma- tron of honor and Arnold McGlynn was best main. A wedding breakfast was served at the Princess Cafe. After a brief wedding trip the couple will reside at Kingston, Ont. Mr. Rochelfort is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Rochefort of Kingston, Ont. TWO GET SUMMONSES Patrick Cwtrie of Harriiville wan given a summons Thursday night by Officer Doe to appear Nov. 13 in city (court and answer * charge of drlvinr a car without an operators license. Morris J. Sias, 417 Judson St., was also given a summons to ap- pear Nov. 112 and answer a charge of violating the motor vehicle and traffic law by not reporting his change of address. So, too, are taxpayers who have read that the Welfare Board sud- denly came to life one day recent- ly, ordered a clean sweep of the upstairs office from commissioner down to clerk, only to learn a few days later that Corporation Coun- sel Sanford to a ruling handed Mayor Livingston, claimed the Board had authority only on the appointment of commissioner. Others interested in what will happen Tuesday, the zero hour, ap- pear to be Mayor Livingston, who failed to attend the Board meet- ing when Commissioner Charles Hubbard, his appointee, and all the other employes of the Welfare of- fice save one were ordered re- placed, members of the Board, and, no doubt, other city employes who are wondering what their fu- ture status may be. Will the \ins\ go \out\ and the \outs\ go \in\? No one seems to know. Reporters, trying today to untangle the latest municipal puz- zle, frankly admit they wouldn't care to speculate. Who will win the \battle of desks\ remains to be seen. Present employes, aside from Commissioner Hubbard: who every- one admits will turn over his duties to Lawrence J. McCarthy on Tuesday, have one advantage. They have the backing of Mayor Livingston and Corporation Coun- sel Donald B. Sanford and are al- ready encamped on the battlefield. The board's appointees, on the other hand, were selected from the civil service examination list re- cently approved by the State Wel- fare Department and have support of the local Welfare board. McCarthy's title to the commis- sionershlp appears clear. He served under Mayor Elie, was re.- moved by Mayor Livingston who named Hubbard to the office, last January,-and has again been ap- pointed by the Welfare Board which the city's legal advisor claims is according to Hoyle —though all other appointments of the Board have been labeled as trespassing on City Council perro- gatives. Another winner is Mrs. Ruth Yenier, an investigator in the Wel- fare Department. She is the choice of both camps. She already holds the position under the Liv- ingston administration and was re- appointed by the Welfare Board. The contested positions number three, two of them now occupied and one created by the Welfare Board. James O'Hara, auditor and choice of the mayor, is now holding the fort. Karl Qulnlan was the choice of the Welfare Board and successful candidate in the ex- amination. Whether he will start work Tuesday is not clear. Irene Wallace and Marie Ward were appointed stenographer and clerk respectively by the Welfare Board, but the duties are now held by Mrs. Bertha Peck, choice of Mayor Livingston. Mayor Evasive Mayor Livingston this morning parried each question of reporters when they attempted to find out what will happen in the \battle of desks,\ Tuesday. Asked what would happen Tues- day morning, Mayor Livingston said, \It is too far away. Wait and see what develops Monday.\ • While Mayor Livingston refused to enlarge or clarify his statement, it was pointed out by Alderman Blair this morning that the Mayor might throw out the civil service list and call for a new examina- ,tion. \Mayor Livingston will no doubt throw out the list and call for a new examination,\ Blair said. \For my part the examination MRS. RAYMO'S RITES TO BE HELD MONDAY Funeral services for Mrs. Hazel Martin Raytno, who died at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Utica, Fri- day morning, will be held from the home of her brother-in-law, How- ard Raymo, Isabella St., Monday- morning at 10:30 and from St. Mary's Cathedral at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Raymo and her husband, Floyd Raymo, 1 eft this city in 1925 for Utica where they had since been employed at Marcy State Hospital. Mrs, Raymo was a graduate of the St. Lawrence State Hospital School of Nursing. Surviving besides her husband are a daughter, Betty; one sister, Mrs. Lilla coe of Utica; and two brothers, George and Louis Mar- tin of Berkley, Calif. Burial wiU be in Notre Dame Cemetery. was given fairly and the persons on the list have all been approved by the State Welfare Department. We must appoint them by Jan. 1 or lose state re-imbursement and I don't think the city is in financial position to handle its own wel- fare. For my part, I will back up the appointments of the Board.\ Corporation Counsel Sanford said he had handed down his de- cision. \No changes can be made with the exception of the Commission- er,\ he said. \AH the other pres- ent employes will retain their po- sitions until successors are ap- pointed by the Council from the civil service list.\ Commissioner Hubbard said on, Tuesday he will turn over the keys of the department to Mr. McCar- thy, as instructed by the Welfare Board. \As for the other employes, I don't know what will happen,\ he said. \We have received no in- structions from either the Board or the Mayor.\ One employe who is slated to move, according to the Welfare board this morning said: \I received no instructions and will remain until I am told that I am no longer employed.\ In the meantime, a hurry call was sent out for a .special council session this noon. Inquiries re- vealed, however, that the council meeting was called merely to con- sider additional funds for the air- port project and had nothing to do with Welfare office employes.
