' BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDXT, SUGUST 10, 193-f. PAGE SEVEN E Back At Work With Stitched-Up Heart INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. fSpl In ft statement being sent to the 11.000 posta of the American Legion, Ed ward A. Hayes, national commander, U announcing a nation-wide plan to awaken support for the constitution of the United States through the ob servance of Constitution Week, be ginning September 17, he said today. The program for the observance Is being outlined by the Americanism commission of the legion, of which Russell Cook is director at national headquarters here. It embraces a i . mass meeting and public speaking on September 17. Constitution Day, by legion officials In every community large enough to have a legion post, Director Cook said. This will be fol lowed by addresses throughout the week In grade and high schools and before civic organizations. Following the week of Intensive ob servance, according to Director Cook a legion poster dedicated to the con stitution will be placed on outdoor panels throughout the United Statu The poster Is described as showing "a massed formation of uniformed Legionnaires, marching out of the orange yellow of the dawn from a limitless horizon, the figures tense and expressions determined." In their vanguard is the figure of Columbia carrying in her hands the constitu tion or the United States. In his statement to all post com manders, Mr. Hayes wrote in part: "Because of the continuous growth of insidious, un-American propa ganda, which Is undermining the confidence of the American people in the constitution and our form of government, all posts are being call ed upon to formulate plans for i nation-wide patriotic observance on September 17 this year. The purpose of this demonstration Is to stimulate a greater appreciation of our consti tution and the rights, benefits and privileges guaranteed thereby. "Every member of our organization, upon being accepted for membership, solemnly pledged himself to support the ten purposes eet forth In the legion preamble. The first of these ten purposes is 'to uphold and de fend the constitution of the United States.' "Let us prove, by taking the lead In this observance, that there la no place in America for those who will not support and defend the consti tution." i r v Wnn two stitches in his heart, George Hampton, Lancaster, Pa., barber, went back to work after he was released from a hospital where he had been taken to recover from a stab-wound.

(Associated Presi Photo) SAFETY IN DRIVING Ab Jenkins, the man who hold" more American Automobile associa tion record, for distance, speed and endurance driving than any other driver and has never had an acci dent gives six practical suggestions for safe driving in the current Rota rlsn magazine. They are: 1. Keep both hands on the wheel "The only two people I know who are competent to drive one-handed are Eddie Rlckenbacker and Ralph de Palma and both of them use two hands." 3. Keep the best tires on the front wheels. "The front-wheel blow-out Is by far the more dangerous. When blow-outs do happen, danger can be averted by clinging stoutly to the steering wheel." 3. Always test your brakes. "During the first hundred yards of driving, I always test my brakes by pushing down the pedal. brakes may have froten. they may be greasy or need adjustment." 4. Be extremely careful at twilight. "You have three times the accident hazard at twilight than you have at a. m. Defective visibility Is, of course, the reason. Remember, too. that night-time crashes have a 2 per cent higher fatality than day light accidents." 5. Don't use brakes In a skid. "To come out of a skid throw out your clutch and maneuver the steer ing wheel so that the front wheels are In alignment with the rear ones. In other words, go in the skid I Braking la Ineffectual. Your main concern Is to equalize traction on all four wheels, which you do by throwing out your clutch: your next move la to get all your wheels In line. As soon as you feel the skid weakening, let In the clutch, 'gun' the motor, and resume forward progress." 6. Study the road. "Always reduce speed when passing from one type of road to another. Your right wheel should be approxi mately one and one-half feet from the outer edge of the highway. Run ning off the road la common. Thirty one per cent of accldenta are due to speeding, while thirty-four per cent are caused by cars going off the road.

Ind (Spl The national organization of the Ameri can Legion entered the month of August with a total membership of 806.000, Edward A. Hayes, national commander, said today upon comple tion of tabulating cards and dues at national headquarters here as of Au gust 1. This is 88,282 more than for the same date last year. He said the books on 1934 mem bership will not close until Septem ber 22, and considerably larger gains will be recorded due to departments making last spurts for their own con ventions, and also because the voting strength of delegations at the nat ional convention in Miami is deter mined as of September 22. Records at national headquarters show that the 806,000 figure is larger than since 1932, and with the exception of four years, is the largest in the history of the organization.
