Program Aimed at
Frontier Smuggling
Buffalo, N. Y. (U.FD A joint
education program aimed at
curbing smuggling and illegal
alien traffic along the Niagara
frontier is planned by Canadian
and American authorities.
Target of the project will be
owners of pleasure boats that
ply between the United States
and Canada across Lakes Erie
and Ontario and the Niagara
River. Under present plans, rep
resentatives of both countries
will speak at yachting and boat
clubs to explain laws governing
such craft.
Customs Collector Harold R.
Backer pointed out that all ves
sels under five net tons carrying
baggage and merchandise and ar
riving from Canada through in
land waters are required to re
port to customs under penalty
of a $200 fine. Commercial craft
of five net tons or more must
report to the collector within 24
hours of their arrival and make

Comment On
By HARMAN
UiM Pram
Washington (U.R) What
does the driver of the year do on
his day off? He takes his family
tor a spin.
At least
that's what
Floyd J. Pem
berton of De
troit does. He's
driver of the
year winner
of the Ameri
can Trucking
Associati o n ' s
coveted award.
. "After a
long ride,"
Herman Nichols
Floyd said, "It's nice to get out
of the cab of a heavy truck and
take Bonnie, my wife, and Floyd
Jr., he's 13, Harold, who's 11,
and baby Mike for a whirl
around Redford Township (in the
Detroit area). They all like to
ride, too."
The curly haired Floyd, sen
ior, is half an inch shy of six
feet and weighs 185 pounds. He
is slim, and trim and you
wouldn't want to trade swats
with him in an alley.
"Truck drivers aren't really
so tough," he told me. "But they
have to be when the occasion de
mands. Commonly we try to be
as polite in tne lunch stops as we
are on the road. If a man keeps
his nose clean he doesn't have to
get up his dukes."

manded. He is 34 or will be
Saturday and he served a
couple of hitches in the Marines.
He did his first truck in 1937,
got out with honors, couldn't
stand the boredom of civilian life
and went back in 1943. He was
wounded in the landings at Sai
pan and Okinawa and has a Pur
ple Heart with clusters.
"I'm proud of my man," Bon
nie, has mate for 14 years, said.
She has a right to be.
Pemberton has an almost per
fect driving record with the Com
mercial Carriers, Inc., a Detroit
haulaway company. Away he
went for half a million miles in
nine years and only had one mi
nor scrape. And that wasn't his
fault. Some clown bumped into
the back of his truck and knick
ed it a little. The damage was
only $65 and it didn't come out
of our lad's take home.
He became a hero when he
saved two ladies. Hardly any
body knew about the incident
until a couple of weeks later
when Floyd submitted a routine
report. He had, it turned out,
witnessed an accident in which a
car caught fire. He grabbed his
fire extinguished, doused the
flames and gave first aid to the
victims and then called help to
get the women to a hospital.
Typical Driver
Floyd perhaps is the typical
safe driver at his age. The back

The Olympia Brewing Company, in 1896, created
the first light table beer in America. '
It is a distinctive type of beer, and its original fine
qualities have been maintained by three genera
tions of the same family of Master Brewers.
Throughout the years, Olympia has provided the
American people with a mild, delicious table beer

NEGLECTED STATUE
, Washington (U.PJ A Ion
neglected statue of George Wash
ington, depicting him in tbe.to
ga of a Roman senator, has been
spruced up for display here by
the Smithsonion Institution.
-Horatio Greenough, American
born sculptor, made the 15-foot-high,
22-ton statue in 1843 in
Italy. Since then, the statue has
moved, froni the Capitol's rotun
da to its east front and finally to
a dark corner of the graphic arts
room at the Smithsonian..
The institution is lighting the
statue's alcove and painting the
million miles But to do it every
day of the year, almost, a man
has to be on his toes. The Har
vard School of .Public Health re
cently had this to'Isay about ex
pert persons behind the wheel of
a lethal machine:. ;
"It was found," the survey con
cluded, "that good drivers are
relatively young, with . an aver
age age of 33. That' is the age
level at which individuals are
considered to have achieved a
fair degree of personal maturity
and stability." ' .
Floyd Jr., and Harold don't
think they - want to be truck
drivers like their dad. -
They want to be baseball play
ers. Floyd is better than a fair
shortstop, according to his pap
py, and the Washington Sena
tors, who are seeking a short
stop better have a , sharp , look
at the kid. .
Mike is a little over four
months old. .
"But," according to his pop,
"he rattles his rattle right hand
ed. Maybe we got a pitcher in
the making." ' .
