J00YWALK, N IS DANGEROUS,/.
The most fragile member of the traffic
stream Is the person on foot. In any €ol-
lision lth a motor cal., the pedestrian
comes out second best. Last year over
one third of aH victims of fatal traffic
o
accidents were pedestrians.
To reduce t r a f f i e fatalities on streets
and highways you are asked to obsewe
pedestrian safety rules and regulations.
Pictured above you'H find them simple
and easy to remember. Then.., starting
today, walk as if your Hie depended op
it. IT DOES.

is watching" one's own plans for
a building take shape under the
hammers and saws and masons
trowels and paint brushs of con-
structiou crews, according to John
Dns0n. whose new Goodrich Tire
and Appliance store is slated to
open early in October.
John drew the plans for the
building at Third and Cots which
will house his new store and be-
cause of that fact the progress of
its construction was undoubtedly
made much more interesting tilan
if someone else had drawn the
plans.
"The construction crew prob-
ably thought I was the nosiest old
so-and-so they'd ever worked for,"
John laughed one" day last week
as the final touches were being
put on the structure by the build-
ors, "but the fact is I was just
so keenly interested in watching
my ideas take form that I paid
a lot closer attention to the work
than I would have otherwise."
Incidentally, Dotson had the
highest of praise for the work of
the men wl|ose hands, heads and
cfforta shaped his new building,
complimenting them as the most
efficient and capable crew he had
seen in recent years. The work l
was under contract to l'hos. i
Steenson. ,,, ,, ,,, t
The G.I. bill of rights education I
privileges have been used for ac-
cluiring many types of knowledge'
)Jy ex-servicemen, but probably
one of the less frequently utilized;
vocations was that of learning to
become an undertaker.
One Shelton serviceman, how-
ever, chose that line and now is
back home putting wtmt he
learned in school to practical use.
He s Bill Btatone, who joined the
staff of the Witsiers Funeral
Home recently after completing a
morticians and embalmers course
in Ohio.
One doesn't have to be much
of an oldtimer in this community
t.o remember when Bruce Wilcox
was advertising manager for the
Lumbermen's Mercantile, later
founder and operator of the var-
iety store which Frank Markham
now owns and runs, so the many
Sheltonians who knew Wilcox will
be interested to know he realized
i an ambition of many years stand-
ing on August I when he opened
a fine new dry goods and apparel
store at Baldwin Park, Calif,
A copy of the Baldwin Park
Tribune, which Wilcox sent to E.
B. Spring, Shelton accountant,
carries a front page picture of
the new Wilcox store with an un-
der-caption stating that the "open-
ing drew many hundreds of visit-
ors from Baldwin Park, West Co-
vine, Covina and other neighbor-
ing communities."

Dorothy Kidd, bookkeeper and
office clerk at the Mell Clmvrolet
company, has a pretty good idea
of the handicap a person minus
one arm or hand is under. Sev-
eral weeks ago she tumbled off
a bicycle and broke the wris¢ of
her left arm. so has been doing
her duties with just half the usual
physical facilities for typing,
punching an adding machine, etc.
The cast was removed late last
week, however', and :Miss Kidd is
back to full efficiency again.
