THE CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1936 PAGE FIVE INSTATE POLICE AND CAMPAIGN PUPILS TO GET INSTRUCTIONS Essay Contests to Be Held in Effort to Edu- cate Young IS YEAR'S PROGRAM Troopers to Concentrate on Highway Drive, Says Colonel Governor Kymp Ball Tickets Q. Q.P. Women Urged Not To A fr "4 Fear Criticizing New Deal A vigorous move to popularize the observance of highway safety Satur- day was announced by Colonel P. D. Shingleton, head of the department of public safety.

Cooperating with the state police will be the depart- ment of education, and the principal of the campaign will be con- centra ted upon pupils of the fifth to eighth grades, inclusive. Memberships in state police safetj clubs will be accepted beginning February 1, and pupils may become charter members of the organization by submitting essays to the prin cipals or teachers of their schools. Rules and regulations for the es- say contest were sent out by the state police Saturday to the prin- cipals of all schools, in which their cooperation was asked. This coop- eration already had been pledged by W. W.

Trent, state superintendent, on behalf of the department of ed- ucation. Buttons to Be Awarded Essays all must be upon the sub- ject "How Automobile Accidents Can Be Reduced in West Virginia." and a neat blue and gold button will be awarded to each pupil who qualifies. The department has ob- tained 50,000 of these buttons for distribution. Each school will choose the best two essays and forward them to Charleston. From these.

Colonel Shingleton and Mr. Trent will se- lect the three, best from each county, and the three best in each state. There will be cash prizes of $5, $3 and $2 for the county winners, and of $75, $50 and $25 for state win- ners. Climaxing the essay contest, coun- ty and state winners will be brought to Charleston by state police offi- cers, and will be entertained by trips through the capitol. Here Are the Rules Here are the rules of the contest, as drawn up Saturday by Colonel Shingleton.

be "How Automobile Accidents Can Be Reduced in West Virginia." 2. Contestants must be enrolled in a West Virginia school either in the fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth grade. 3. Essays must be not less than 100 nor more than 200 words in length, i written with pen on large size ruled JLpaper. The name, age.

address. grade, school and county of the con- testant should be written at the top of the first sheet. 4. All essays must be submitted to the principal or one-room teacher not later than March 31, 1936. 5.

All essays should be original. Contestants should express their own ideas, and not copy from safety literature. For this reason, neither the department of public safety nor the department of education will answer any requests for literature or pamphlets. The winners will be selected on the basis of originality, value of the ideas, good usage of the English language, and neatness. 6.

All selections by the judges will be final. The principal or one-ro9m teacher will announce the two win- ners in each school, and the depart-; ment of public safety will notify county and state prize winners per- sonally. To Be Year's Policy That the promotion of highway safety will be one of the major ob- jectives of the state police during the coming year was indicated by Colonel Shingleton on Saturday. "Do you know." he asked in letter to the school heads, "that 000 children are killed and more than a quarter of a million injurea in America every year? And all so tragically unnecessary! Then, top, most of our 450.000 West Virginia school children will in a few brief years be drivers, and we certainly want them to be safe drivers. "The state police realize that tnc battle of safety will be a long one --that is why we are beginning to extend our accident prevention cam- Republican Chief Tells 2,000 It's Their Duty to Attack Fallacious Policies NEW YORK, Jan.

18 women's national Republican club celebrated its fifteenth anniversary and informally launched itself into the national campaign today at a luncheon for 2,000 women from 26 states. John D. M. Hamilton, general counsel of the Republican national committee and national committeeman from Kansas, told the women in a prepared address that they need not apologize, in the campaign they were entering, for criticizing the New Deal. Republicans have a duty to criti- cize fallacious policies, he said, "and we cannot refrain from a criticism of the methods of others merely from the selfish fear that people will question our motives.

Mr Hamilton followed, on the speakers' schedule. Robert Alfonso Taft, of Cincinnati, of former President William Howard Taft. Mr. Taft's address, "Something for Noth- ing," was broadcast. Mr.

Hamilton said the immediate Ritchie Lowest In State Death Rates Governor Kump, West Virginia chairman for the nation-wide i day ball for the President to be held January 30, was buttonholed his office by two young saleswomen representing the Jeffersoman club, sponsors of the Charleston birthday ball. The little lady at the i is Miss Ethel Elliott. 4, of Wayne county, and the girl the center is Miss Margaret Berry, 8, of Raleigh county. The girls are guests at the state health center, Camp Fairchance, near Madison, operated cooperatively by the state department of public welfare and the West i i i a lehet administration.

H. C. Woosley, at her home in Rosemont avenue. Further study of the health de- partment's vital statistics report for 1935 Saturday was the basis of its announcement that Ritchie county had the lowest, infant mor- tality rate of any county in the state, and that county had the highest. Wirt's baby death rate was given as 106.5 per 1,000 live bicti-'.

as compared to only 24 for i i Among babies, the princi- pal death causes were diarrhea, respiratory and infectious diseases. Single men either wei-e hardier than their married brothers, judging from the report which shows that 725 more married men were taken by death than those in the single classification. How- ever, it was explained that the age of married men probably averaged greater than unmarried men. One result of the report was revelation of the fact that whoop- ing cough, regarded as a common childhood ailment, was the third most fatal infectious disease, Deaths from cancer also were shown to be on the increase. A Work in a Beer Joint, Officers Told They may beer parlors to some persons but they're beer i to Police Chief W.

A. Tully. Proof of that assertion was shown in a bulletin posted at headquarters Saturday. It reads: "I do not know whether it has been the practice of members of iVi I -irkwl i i i i i 4 function the Republican party, "in the narrower sense," is to win the next, election, but "the prime function of the Republican party is to speak for the people who choose not to be wards of the state. He charged New Deal leaders are mov- ing toward a government of men, as opposed to a government of law, and said the Republican party has in that trend the issue on it can win allegiance of the voters.

Mrs. Henry R. Caraway, president of the club, greeted the guests with a declaration that "if we exchange whimsical caprice for a fearless and impartial interpretation of law by a free and independent judiciary, then what America means to every- one of us becomes the hollow shell of what has been the hope and prom- ise of humanity." Mr. Taft said the objective of the New Deal is a government controlled economy, "which would lead i inex- orably to complete socialism. "But the issue is even broader than this," he said.

"If we are going to abandon a free, competitive busi- ness system, we will also abandon democratic government. This pin- pose is so foreign to the whole genius of the American people, outside of a few centers of radicalism, the result of the election is not in doubt if the real issue can be brought home to the voters."
