G Maison said in Salem today. •'Children should be warned never to accept rides with persons not known to them personally, no matter what story may be told them,” Mai son declared. "The fact that a stranger drives a big car is certainly no guarantee of character." He added that if adult drivers and pedestrians would follow a similar policy of refusing to trust strangers, traffic accidents could be drastically reduced. Since we have no way of knowing who a driver is or what he is like when meeting on the street or highway, the best policy is to regard them all with suspicion. Assume they will do the wrong thing in every case. Then drive or walk so as to avoid accident if your fears prove justified. Too many accidents are the result of chance-taking while assuming the other driver is alert, able, and willing to stop in time, the official pointed out. Depending on a stranger’s ac tions In a situation which may mean life or death is not a realistic atti tude In cither children or adults, he declared. MONOXIDE I'OISONING Cold weather spells and carbon monoxide poisoning go hand in hand, motorists were reminded today by the Secretary of State’s Traffic Divi sion. The division said many traffic ac cidents in which the driver apparent ly fell asleep might be traced to car bon monoxide fumes seeping in through loose floorboards or defec tive exhaust systems. The gas is colorless and odorless, and will induce drowsiness even though the concen tration is not strong enough to be lethal.

DETROIT Real Roses in the Cheeks- You Call That a Handicap? —----------------------------- By BILLY ROSE---------------------------- - — When Eleanor and I first moved up to Mt. Kisco, some of our neighbors dropped by to pay their respects, but I didn’t encourage these visits. The landed gentry of Westchester are nice enough folk, but they don’t talk my lingo. Besides, I see no point in culti vating people who think it’s smart to chase a fox. But a little down the road from us live a couple I cultivate as often as they'll have me. Their names are Fred and Jane Newell. I met them through Eleanor two years ago, and I’ll never forget the first night we had dinner at their house. Jane answered the doorbell. She was pretty all over, and I liked her right away. "Excuse the peasant skirt,” she said. "I have a baby penciled in for the fall.” Fred was in the living room listening to the radio. He had the tweedy look of the good guy in the women’s magazine stories. We talked for a couple of minutes before I realized he was blind. He told me he was a writer, and answered my unspoken question Billy Rose by explaining be dictated his stuff to his wife. It was a fine dinner and a fine evening. Jane carried her child as if baby-having were some kind of party. Around eleven o’clock, Fred Roses said to Jane, "Maybe the “ ~ would like ice cream.” "Maybe they would,” said Jane, "but we haven't any. I'll drive down to tip* village and get some.” "I'll go with you," I said, "just to make sure you don’t forget chocolate." • • • ON THE WAY to the ice-cream parlor I said, ‘‘Tell me something. What makes you kids act as if you had a gold mine in the cellar?” Jane smiled. "I don't know. 1 guess we've been pretty lucky." "Lucky!" I said, and then stopped, embarrassed. "It's all right,” said Jane. "Of course, it would be nicer if Fred could see, but neither of us thinks that's very important." By MRS. J. A.

He explained that he was dictating to a nurse because he’d been wounded in the right hand. "At the time, he still had some hope that a special operation might restore his sight. He didn't want to tell me about his eyes until he knew for sure. • • • "WELL, THE OPERATION was a complete miss-out. When Fred knew he'd never see again, the darn fool wrote me that I was free to marry anybody I liked. Of course, I hopped a plane to San Francisco and got my fella.” "Atta girl,” I said. “Now tell me to shut my face if I'm out of line, but doesn’t it ever bother you—I mean, making this sacrifice?” "Sacrifice, my foot,’’ ¡aid Jana softly.
