Our Police Chief Says
Just thoroughly as a motorist
can be blinded at night by the
lights of an oncoming car, so
can he be blinded by the lights
of a car following him. Remem
ber thflfr lights reflected into the
driver’s eyes by his rear-view
mirror are dazzling as thosti
striking froimj the front. It is a
sign of genuine courtesy and re
spect for the other man’s com
fort and safety to dim your
lights as s(K))i as yon see that
your upper b»‘a mis striking his
rear window. It is u thoughtful
gesture that never goes unap
preciated. DON’T STAB THE
DRIVER IN THE BACK —
DIM YOUIi* LIGHTS WHEN
OVERTAKING
Always ,\)ield, the right of
way to pedestrians. Give them
time to get across the strt*et.
'Don’t .startle them by honking
insistently, and don’t confuse
»*hem by starting uj) the moment
the light changes. When turn
ing, r^sppct the pedestrian’s
right of way. When driving at
night, remember that a pedes
trian crossing the street may
be hard to see. YOITR BEING
ON GUARD IS THE PEDES
TRIAN IS REST DEFENSE
AGAINST INJITRY AND
DEATH. i
Too nmoy drivers consider ex
cessive speed as a personal risk
— if they eonsider it a risk at
all—Avith oidy thems(*lves as the
losers if an accident occurs. Act
ually driving at exces.sivc speed
is criminal disregard that jeo
pardizes the Jives of all! A speed
ing car, out of control, may veer
into innocent, cars approaching;
it may- jump the curb and kill
)H>destrians; and, of course, it
threatens the life of everyone
who may be riding in it. Take it
easy—you can get where yon are
going withoiit killing someone.
SPEEDERS DOSE — SI/)W
I>OWN A]^D SAVE LIVES,-
INCLUDING YOUR OWN.
You can count on the fingers
of one hand the number of mo
torists TMho have races to a tie
■with trains—and walked away
to describe their experiences. Al
ways be on the alert for trains
when you see the round, yellow
sign warning of an approach to
a crossing. Look both ways—do
not rely on your knowledge of
the train’s schedule. When dou
ble tracks are encountered, be
sure that BOTH tracks are clear
before you cross. NEVER
JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS AT
RAILROAD CROSSINGS —
— LOOK, USTEN, THEN
LOOK ACAIN!
Defense is just as important
in everyday ilriving as a de
fensive plaj' on the gridiron at
the start of the football seuson--
impoi'tant Ix'canse the .safe driv
er ALWAYS drives defensive
ly. That is, ;he drives in such a
•manner as to avoid accidents by
anticipating and allowing for
hazards created by the unsafe
acts of others and for adverse
traffic and weather conditions.
J\1AKE IT A RULE: REI.Y-
SOLELY UPON YOURSELib’
AS THE PERSON BEST
ABIjE to AVOID AC
(’I DENTS!
Don’t let a familiar route lull
you into a sense of false secur
ity. Safe driving habits should
becoime an aut^^matic part of
your driving skills. Never relax
your attention from the road
simply because you’ve been over
it many times before. Tempor
ary, unexpected road conditions
may bring you face to face w'ith
injury or death if yon are not
not {)repared to slow down or

The 1949 definitive, bio

This is the original “Who's

for other more recent imita

servative publication, in its
3,808 pages covering the

few Americans.
Paul Robeson’s name has
been included in this enclope-

for the first time in the pre

Method Found
To Determine
Cancer Cure
l/)S ANGELES
The first. raj)id and accurate
method for determining the ef-
tectivciiess of cancer treatment
has hecii developed by Dr. 1’. M.
West and Jcs,samine Hilliard of
tile I'nivcrsify of (’aliforiiia at
Ijos Angeles, in co-operation
with the Birmingliam V’eterans
Administration Hospital.
•\s simple /IS a Wasserman
test, the new techni(|ue will (1)
sev'-e as a faithful progress re
port for cancer patients niul
(2) effectively evaluate new
caiieer treatnii'nts ■within a few
days after application. Present'
clinical evaluation methods take
years.
The method involves the ratio
of the iunotiMt of inliihitors of
two enzymes found in the hlood
—fhynmtrypsin and rennin. In
habit ors are chemical substances
th;it check the action of cei'tain
en/,ymes within the body.
l)iv W'cst si\s the test will
not serve as an effective mi'thod
of diagnosing malignancy be
cause there ari‘ other factors
fhat may I'ause variation of in
hJhitor pjittcrns.
Howivcr, as a check on the
progress of the disease in known
.’](!Miccr ^vicfims, fi(e tecflniiiue
has hftMi enthiisiatically received
in medical circlfs and is expect
ed to b('come routine procedure
for all cancer ))atients.
