Old Santa played a very mDortant part in the picture, which was very appropriate at his time of the season. A number of games were played and directed by Mrs. Greene, which each one enjoyed very much. Heart Sisters and Christmas packages were both there and each one felt just a little nearer to each other by having had a good heart sister.

STEELE "Your Friendly Jeweler" Watch Repairing A Specialty Shoppers Often Accident Victims On City Streets Raleigh.?A concealing urn-^ brella or an armful of ChristmaS packages were named today by Jeff B. Wilson, director of the Highway Safety Division of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles, as two of the common reasons why December's pedestrian death rate mounts duing the month. j "Probably the commonest sight in the city at this time of year," Wilson said, "is the fran tic Christmas shopper dashing from curb to curb with packages stacked from the crook of her arm to the bridge of her nose. With the view cut off in this manner, is it any wonder that one-third of the persons killed last December were pedestri ans?" This high pedestrian death rate is one of the targets of the Department's program of traffic safety education, being conduct ed this month. "Pedestrians too often forget that cloudy weather, snow, sleet and rain make visibility Just a fraction of what it is under fav-j orable conditions," Wilson said. "This reduction in visibility is dangerous to the pedestrian, not because approaching cars are appreciably harder for him to see, but because the motorist may not see a pedestrian until he is practically on top of him. Pedestrians forget, too, that icy or snow-laden streets may make it impossible for the motorist to stop as quickly as usual even when he does spot them." The Department spokesman also pointed out that the' hours of darkness in December are so long that the morning and eve ning peak hours of traffic fall during these periods of sharply reduced visibility. In 1948, Wil son reported, 79 per cent of the pedestrians killed in December were killed during the hours of darkness. "Darkness, normally bad wint er visibility factors, Christmas shopping and poor braking trac-| tion all combine to help sky-' rocket December's toll of pedes trian deaths and injuries each year," Wilson added. "How many shopping days are there till Christmas for you?" Wilson asked. "That de pends on how alert and careful you are in trying to avoid Christmas shopping accidents?"
