NEW \WET\ OFFENSIVE STARTS IN SAFETYCLUB Orders Issued To MEMBERSHIP OVER 8,000 & ROO School Street Pupils of Oceanside Join and\ 109 Others Send Pledges In Through Mail \THE RAIL\ NEXT ON SCHOOL SLATE Bellimores, Merricks, Seaford and Wantagh To Be Visited By Review Cameraman With Clear Weather Although spring showers have forced » postponement of the visit of the Review cameraman to the North Mer- rick school, the 8,000 mark went into the discard this morning when 200 pledges from the pupils of the School street school in Oceanside and 109 pledges received in the morning's «mail raised the total membership of the Review chapter of the Just Kids' Bafety club to 8,002 Continues Its Sweep The safety club, actively sponsored| by the Nassau Daily Review, continued] Its triumphant sweep through Nassau county today as pupils of tite Merricks, Bellmores, and of the Seaford school awaited the Review cameraman and the buttons which each member of the elub wears so proudly. *The youngsters of the School street school raised the percentage of Ocean- side school children who are mem- bers of the club to 100. That community now joins the vil- lage of Freeport where every child of the public and parochial schools has faced the . comera of the Review, proudly raised his or her hand, and pledged themselves to \be careful.\ In spite of the lack of co-operation on the part of the weather man, the Review school campainfn rolls forward surely, raising the 'total membership of the club and helping childen to avoid mecidents. The weather prediction say, \show- ers today and tomorrow,\ and, If this proves true, the North Merrick school children will have to wait untll Thurs- day before they can join the Just Kids' Safety club. Assuming hopefully, but no too surely that the Thursday will bring clear weather, the Review cameraman should be able to visit the Seaford school Priday. With the mail clerk continuing to receive more than 100 pledges each my, the school campaing down \the all\ should carry the total member ship well over the 9,000 mark.

ATTORNEY FLAYS JUSTICES: ASKS JAIL SENTENCES Prosecutor Declares Drunken Drivers Are Treated Too Lieniently; Will Act on Fra- ternal Clubs If Necessary \Beginning tomorrow morning\ said District Attorney Elvin N. Edwards last night, at the annual meeting of principal speaker, \Martin W Little-i ton, Jr., who was today appointed by the board of supervisors to act as my | assistant district attorney, will start an intensive campaign to check on| every speakeasy or other place closed by me under the public nuisance act Arraigns Jusices I \Not only will we inquire what the! proprietor has been doing since the| closing of his place of business, but| we will also see what has become of his assistants, the bartender, etc and if we find that any of them hav broken their suspended sentence pa-| role, they will be taken in and brought to jail.\ District Attorney Edwards for the benefit of the Parent-Teachers and| their guests, painted a vivid picture of the many evils brought about by the speakeasy, large or small and its most obnoxious sequence, the drunken driver. After giving some statistics on the decrease of accidents due to drunken drivers since the beginning of his campaign against the speakeasy, the district attorney went into bitter ar- raignment of the justices, who will discharge & drunken driver case with ® \suspended sentence\ verdict. \These potential murderers should be jailed,\ said the district attorney. \The excuse 'that they might lose their lcense', for ten days or six months is no excuse. I have been called a 'scold,' for criticizing some of the justices for failure of handling! drunken drivers with not enough e- verity | \These Justices will lose their right! to judge if they will continue to sus-| pend sentences on drunken drivers, for I will go before the legislature and ask that the right be taken from | them. I know it will be very unpop-| ular for me to say this, I have beer | called a 'tough' district attorney and I am going to be a tough district at-| torney, for I will continue to fight a fight which is for you.\ Asks Help of Hearers Returning to his subject of the speakeasy, the district attorney said the closing of these places made the world safer for women.
