Mr. Springer, in levelling his atthe ranks of the Democratic Party by seeking to arouse the followers of Mr. Peters and Mr. Greenlee against Lieut, Gov. Towngend and Gov. McNutt, said:

“The figures, prove, without question, that Gov. McNutt is the most | expensive Governor Indiana ever has had,” the G. O. P. nominee charged. The state contingent fund, which | he declared was in the hands of

Gov. McNutt for spending, was scored as “such” funds invite sus-

tionable practices that would be difficult if not impossible to discover.’ Mr. Springer said he Would not, if elected, accept funds from the contingent fund” except to meet | emergencies. The use of “smoke screens,” the ! raising of alleged class hatreds, “the | hiding of wasteful extravagances, and “establishment of a bureaualso were attacked by Mr. Springer. . He pointed out that eight departments of state government, administered by eight boards, had “30 members and eight of those members are Gov. McNutt himself. He multiplies himself eight times, as he isa me a member: of each board.”

to Stress Traffic Education

Deputy Sheriff Gives Full Time to Prevention of Accidents.

Miss Jessie Henderson, Marion County safety director, announced today that all features of the safety | program for county school children are to be continued this year, with special emphasis placed on traffic education, The Marion County Safety Council, a private organization of volunteer workers organized five years ago, is to co-operate again this year with the County Accident Prevention Bureau in this work, she said. The program affects all children attending county schools located outside Indianapolis. There are 43 public county schools and four

parochial institutions.

Council Meets Monthly

J. Malcolm Dunn, county school superintendent; Todd Stoops, Hoosier Motor Club secretary-manager; a county commissioner, a representative from the Marion County Council of’ Parent-Teacher Associations, a representative from an repre-

ed by the teachers in the township, a township trustee, Sheriff Ray and Miss Henderson compose the council.

Mrs. Alex

Ray has spent his own money for the work. “The bureau, only

of which I am the full time member, is not given

enough county money to pay for warning signs, postage and- printing,” she added. ‘Miss Henderson said her duties called for tours to find traffic danger spots in the eounty road system. She also sees that school busses and drivers measure up to higher qualifications than those imposed by state law, - “There was only one child traffic casualty in Marion County last year,” Miss Henderson said. “There were no serious accidents last year involving children going to and from school. “Our educational program has worked so well that we feel many small children have a better under-

standing of traffic problems and

dangers than some adults. Patrols Are Praised

“School patrol hoys, who are supplied white belts and badges 'by the Hoosier Motor Club, look out for the safety of younger pupils. Many schools have student safety councils

which study traffic problems and act as courts to punish careless pupils,” she said. As a reward for their work, school patrol boys are often taken to free moving‘ picture shows. When a contestewas held among school patrol commissioned officers several months ago to select representatives to attend a national school safety conference in Washington, 90 per cent of the boys made perfect grades on the first test given, she said.

A flower show to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the State Florists’ Association is to be held Nov. 15, 16 and 17. Site of the show is to be selected later, according to officials. - Edward F., Steflen, Vincennes, is president.

At the end of August this ~ear there were 76 auto accident fatalities while for the same period last year there were 81 deaths.”

“Disgrace to City”

William A. Evans, Indianapolis Say Education Council. chairman, sai

“The auto fatality record of Indianapolis is a disgrace to the city. I hope the day will come soon when people of the city wake up to the fact that we scarcely can claim to be civilized as long as we permit the existence among us of roughneck drivers who are brutally unmindful of the safety of others. “Every right-thinking citizen of Indianapolis should appoint himself a committee of one to make the city safer, correct his own driving faults, co- operate with police in enforcement of laws and support all traffic safety ordinances.”

Urges Law Enforcement

Donald F. Stiver, state safety director, said: “Education, engineering and enforcement are the best methods of insuring safety for motorists, but for immediate results, a policy of strict enforcement is the most potent agency.” Mr. Stiver said he favored legislation calling for physical examination of automobile drivers, periodical inspection of cars and reporting of all accidents by the individuals involved to the state licensing bureau so that their accident records could be made to show on their drivers’ licenses “There’s something wrong with a driver who repeatedly is involved in accidents,” Mr. Stiver said, “and his license should be revoked permanently unless his defect can be remedied.” Mr. Stiver cited the case of 2) school bus driver brought to his attention yesterday. The man had had five accidents and had just dis-

DeWitt S. Morgan, Technical | High School principal: “The increase in the percentage of auto | | fatalities in Indianapolis is shockling.
