This is one of the biggest and most important jobs that our Government has to do. The Constitution requires that the people be counted every ten years. It, therefore, becomes our duty as good citizens to cooperate with the Government in this great task. It is important that individuals and business take inventory of their resources ; so, too, it is of the highest importance that the Government take inventory of its social and economic resources. Since 1790, the Bureau of the Census every ten years has been making such a survey of our Nations resources. The great economic upheaval of the last ten years has presented to business and Government problems that have taxed the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the leaders of our Nation in the fields of business, industry and government. These problems cannot be solved with- - The information secured from the canvass is of vital importance to every business man, to every agency that is working for the betterment of our social conditions, to every civic organization and trade association, to the city in which you live, to the state and the nation. Surely, every good citizen should cooperate. We should be happy in the thought that 120,000 American citizens will march forth on April 2 in the peaceful pursuit of collecting information vital to the maintenance of the peace and prosperity of our great nation, rather than to be doing the goose step for a dictator or for ua to be feeling our way around at night in "blackout cities. You can help your Government in its colossal task of collecting vital information by answering accurately and completely the questions asked of you by the enumerator that calls at your home.

Before yesterday liefore you crossed that street in the middle of the block without looking you were just anybody. But now you are the typical pedestrian fatality of 1939, a statistical big shot in the coroner's cross index. The press only gave you a 'routine, three paragraph obituary, but that, Jones, was because your untimely end was more the story of a moral than one of spectacular news value. Your death was unique in this way: The factors that caused it were grim, composite reasons of why pedestrians died under the wheels of motor vehicles last year. They are the seemingly insignificant factors of carelessness, the element of age. blinding headlights that warned too late. You were over 40 when you died, Jones. Yet, you were by no means decrepit. You were just a bit less alert and agile than you were a few years ago. When you left the office about six oclock, you had on your r. mind the usual worries of any family Yea, But wasnt it downright careless you were of you to step out between those parked cars when you wanted to cross the street? But you were anxious to get home, werent you? Maybe that was why you were a little negligent when you approached the curb and didnt take into account the poor visibility on that unlighted street. You thought perhaps you could save some time by crossing in the middle of the block. But theres not much sense in telling you that you were wrong its too late now. Like tens of thousands of others, your walking habita in traffic invited catastrophe. Your habits were formed when automobiles were fewer and slower, and you didnt change to meet present day conditions.

Many were killed under similar circumstances, others thought they didnt need a green light to cross at intersections. There were same who had too much confidence that the oncoming driver would stop while they stepped down from a streetcar. There were 810 pitiful fatalities among children who thought the street was a good place to play. But that isnt the whole story. Almost 300,000 pedestrians were painfully injured and weakened by shock. Many of them recovered in a week or two, but there were plenty who lost an arm, or inherited a limp. They are careful now, but it is too late. Precautionary advice to pedestrians and to driven is so simple, its importance is apt to be underetsimated. The American Red Cross has set down these rules to aid walkers and driven to help each other: TO DRIVERS: Be sura your car is in perfect mechanical order. You may need your emergency equipment when you least expect it. Remember the average pedestrian does not realize how comparatively invisible he is at night. To be on the safe aide, your driving must compensate for this fact. Use extreme care after nightfall, especially on unlighted residential streets. Double your caution in bad weather. Keep your windshield clean and your headlights at top efficiency. Keep a close check on your own driving; anticipate the actions of Die pedestrian. TO PEDESTRIANS: Eear in mind it is virtually impossible for the driver to see you at night. If you dont carry a light, wear something light, or carry something that wlil be discernible in the light from approaching cara. On rural roads, walk facing the traffic. Whenever possible, cross at intersection controlled with signal devices. Take advantage of pedestrian lanes that have been provided to help you. Learn to judge the speed of approaching cars. Keep your mind on safe walking. is one of the chief excuses of the pedestrian victim. Friday, March 29, 1940. . Kill SALE DRIVE DOWN atilt SAVE!
