Take Your Time, Urges Retired Crossing Guard

4* f. jV KE your time. Never got ] lin a hurry. It doesn't pay.” ULJ Want to live, be happy and drive your car? That's the advice Alexander Thorpe. 70. of 1250 S. Pershing Ave., just retiring af. er forty-eight years of active service for the Pennsylvania System. Thorpe has guarded the lives of thousands of persons at many crossings in Indianapolis “T haven't got one black mark on the company's books against me. That's because I never got excited, or in a hurry. Safety first, that’s me,” said Thorpe, shaking his cane emphatically. “White mule is the cause of half the accidents,” Thorpe added. “Folks get crazy with it. It’s enough for a sober man to handle a car.” Thorpe drives a “flivver" himself. “Twelve miles an hour is enough for me. It's a pretty safe pace. “Slow in everything. I got three pieces of property and I reckon I’m fixed pretty well. 1 earned it slow, but I saved w-hat I gt t. and kept away from speedy spending. It pays.” Thorpe lost a leg back in the days when safety devices on railroads were unknown. He knows the value of safety, practices it and preaches It. “I wish I was a judge,” declared Thorpe. “Believe me I’d stick these careless fellows a lot harder than they get it now.” REFINANCING APPROVED Haynes Auto Company to Be Reorganized for Greater Production.
