AGE SIX THE UNION PRESS-COUKRIER. eee ‘Thursday, June 1, 1939. THREE TO SIX O'CLOCK MOST DANGEROUS TO | SMALLER CHILDREN The three hour period, from 3:00 to 6:00 o'clock in the afternoon, offers the greatest danger for small children at | play along the streets and highways, | the PTF Safety Bureau reports. This | hazard, moreover, is concentrated in! the summer months and is one phase of highway accident reduction in which little or no progress is being made. Commenting on this serious prob- | lem of the mothers and motorists, John G. Fenoir, director of the PTF Safety Bureau, said: | “Summer months, with thousands of | children at play, and the highways | JOE'S CUT-RATE STORE SPECIAL SALE!

STEVENS FUNERAL DIRECTOR loaded with normal and vacation tour- | ist travel, bring increased danger to boys and girls and aggravated worry to their parents. It is the season of the year during which a majority of all accidents, involving children oc- cur and during which the fatality rate among small boys and girls reaches its peak. “During the Fall, Winter and eariy Spring, the older children are in sch- ool and the outdoor play of ure-school boys and girls is more limited. In the | summer, recreation and play become the prime objective of all youngsters and, in the excitement of having a good time, chances are freely and al- | 80 carelessly taken. “The result, in Pennsylvania alone, is that several hundred children lose their lives annually and thousands are injured. Recent studies reveal that the three | hours, from 3:00 to 6:00 o'clock in the ' afternoon, are especially hazardous in the summer to children under the age of six years. One comprehensive sur- vey, for example, disclosed that 45 out of every 100 deaths among children of these ages occurred during this com- paratively short, late afternoon period. Important contributory factors are the intensity of play reached by the chil- dren toward the end of the day and heavier traffic in which motorists hurrying home for dinner are numer- ous. “The most practicable means of re- ducing this type of accident—and all highway accidents in volving children —is the establishment of public or of private play yards or playgrounds where public, supervised playgrounds are not available clost to home. A sand box, see saw, sliding board, or some other piece of play equipment will be effective in keeping young children off the streets and roads and j may be instrumental in saving thei lives this year.” Funeral services for Stephen Pristas, 27, of Sonman, near Portage, whose death occurred last Thursday in the Memorial Hospital at Johnstown, were conducted on Tuesday morning in the Greek Catholic church there. Inter- ment was in the church cemetery. His parents and a number of brothers and sisters survive. KNOWN BY SERVICE PHONE SERVICE, Day 31-M., Night#31-1.

SPORTSMEN OF THE COUNTY DEFER ANY ACTION ON LEGISLATION | Amid scenes of disorder, the Cam- bria County Sportsmen’s Association voted last Thursday night at a meeting held at the court house in Ebensburg not to take any further action on mea- sures affecting game now before the Legislature. Delegates from thirteen of the sportsmen’s clubs in the county attended the meeting, John U. McFadden, Ebensburg, the president of the association, presided. Before decision was made William Goodman of the Coopersdale Sports- men’s Club, passed the lie to Joseph Shreve of the Johnstown Sportsmen's! Club. Shreve had delivered an attack on Assemblyman Hiram G. Andrews as- serting that the Johntown representa- tive had published editorials which did not state all the facts regarding the views of the sportsmen. 4 Officers of the organization had been informed that House Bill 1126 had been killed and that Senate Bill 1129, which passed was to be enacted as a substitute. None of the officers of the associa- tion, at the time, however, knew what provision the senate bill made as to groundhogs and mass coon hunting and for that reason the delegates re- fused to take any action to urge defeat or passage of the bill when it came up in the house. The county association has con- sistently supported legislation which provides for a groundhog season be- tween July 1 and September 30th on which days except Sunday they may be hunted between 6:30 am and 7:30 p. m. Action to make the field day to be held by the association at Ebensburg Fair Grounds, Sunday, July 23, was taken. Mr. Shreve stated that the Johnstown Sportsmen’s Association had voted not to have its picnic this year and to boost the county outing. Mr. McFadden on behalf of the Eb- enshurg Club, declared that it would put on the skeet and fly casting con- tests at the picnic. The Nanty-Glo club will stage a trap shooting con- test. M. J. Farabaugh, Carrolltown, will have charge of the dog show and Mr. Masér will stage the coon dog trials. Invitations to attend the affair will be extended to the members of the fish | and game commissions and to officers | R. D.; James Link, Patton, R. D.; P. C. trick, Patton, R. D.; Alphonse Kirsch, | of the state federation. | : Clubs represented at the meeting | Strittmatter, Patton, R. D.; James B. Nicktown, and Charles E.

There are more mixed twins than otherwise, about 635,000 pairs of bro- ther and sister twins being in the Un- ited States. There are about 625,000 fe- male pairs and 600,000 male pairs. There are approximately 4,000,000 twins in this country today.
