Manager T OF SAFETY CAMPAIGN MONTREAL (UP) One of 'the greatest drives ever undertaken In Canada to reduce the motoring acci dent and death toll Is to be opened by police here. The campaign, organized secretly upon the orders of Director of Police Fernand Dufrcsne, Involves appoint ment of the first police "traffic en gineer" In Canada, settling up of a motoring "rogues gallery" and tak lng of a complete census of acci dents at street Intersections through' out the city. It Is tho result of 6,441 city accidents In which 76 were kill ed and 2.786 Injured last year. The goa' of the campaign Is a 60 to 60 percent reduction In accidents. The city's first police traffic en gineer Is Howard M. A. Baker, who was sent to tho Harvard university's bureau for street traffic research to study for one year. His official title is "trafflo engineer of the Montreal police department" the first such police post ever created In Canada. Baker's task will be to undertake engineering studies and analyses of accidents to ascertain their causes and to develop remedial measures. The studies Include volume statistics of direction and turning movements of vehicles, speed figures, vehicle and pedestrian observance of traffic lights and stop signs, pedestrian movements, and parking practices. Collision diagrams will be used to show the accident experience at cer tain areas and to bring out any out standing similarity of accidents. Con dition diagrams will be used to depict the physical condition In hazardous locations with a view of localizing conditions that might have a direct bearing on accidents, such as a high hedge at a street corner which cuts down visibility, causing right-angled collisions. ' The motoring "rogues' gallery" will contain the list of offenses commit ted by all motorists. In future, when a Montreal motorist is brought to trial on some charge associated with an auto accident, police will be able to supply tho man's motoring "rec ord" and If it Is bad It will go against him. The accident census Is being" made to determine the most dangerous spots In the city. An Investigation and compilation of data on 324 In tersections where four or more ac cidents have occurred during the post eight months have been com pleted. The survey has taken eight months.

"Your problems In America are essentially the same ones we have fought and solved In Sweden. But here you do not have the common understanding: the many different races have not been sufficiently melded," the Swedish statesman said. Safstrom said Sweden Is steering course between collectivism and Individualism and that government and private capital, working together In all fields of Industry, have raised the standard of living to a new high Slums have been wiped out.

HUBBARD - WRAY CO. 29 NORTH RIVERSIDE City Toiler Beats Slump By Building Farm on $10 By Capel McNash (United Press Staff Correspondent) CLEVELAND (UP) He doesn't wear buckskin clothes nor muzzle-loading rifle, but Steve Kozel, endless energy and made a go of It, Four years ago Kozel had only $10, a wife and three children. Now he has a house, a farm, two cows, one sow, 26 chickens, seven geese, ten ducks, a rabbit, one police dog and' two cats. He still has the wife and children, and they are healthier and happier than ever In the country. Kozel Is a Hungarian-born uphol sterer who likes to smell fresh air. When his business slackened four years ago he determined to get farm. He took his 910 to John B. Ovlatt, a Cleveland attorney, who had a farm to sell for 1.500. Ovlatt was sufficiently impressed with Ko zel's energy to sell him the land for the $10 down payment and a promise to pay 9100 In IS weeks. . The upholsterer took his family to the farm, built a one-room win dow l&ss shack, and met the $100 pay ment. Then he out down trees, dug up clay and built a snug cabin. The winter would be cold. He improved the farm for the ani mals he would buy. He bought them by going without shows, cigarettes or new clothes. He built a tractor from discarded parts of four old mo tor cars. Things looked fine for the Indus trious upholsterer until his cabin burned In midwinter. Neighbors, who admired his ambition, raised $25 so he could buy lumber to start his third houser-the trim white one he occupies with his family now. Kozel, who is 85, says he would not go back to the city to live. "When the house burned down, I felt like it, but my wife kept me from it. I never liked the city so much. Working around this place has made me fe'el like a new man and the kids love It I" The children Stephen, 12; Marion, 10, and Robert, 6 romp the fields, Jump In the hay and make pets of the farm's 49 -animal menagerie When It's winter there Is always , the possibility of corn to pop or j taffy to pull. Alert, tanned, husky, I they wouldn't trade a foot of the farm for a street full of city amuse ments. I Kozel's wife didn't like the country i before her husband made his rural experiment. ! "Now she likes to milk and keep her own flower garden." Kozel said. "I guess-there's nothing would get her back -to the city now." Kozel ,s farm lies Just south of Cleveland, near Medina, Ohio. In the vicinity several hundred other work ers, prompted by depressions and re cessions, have settled on small farms spurning relief in most cases and from their farms an wrenching a living that the factories cannot give them. But none started on as frayed a "shoestring" as Kozel. ENORMOUS REDUCTIONS Dresses, Coats, Hats, Blouses Ethelwyn B.
