Worth Hearing- .
Much local intelest is aroused by
announcement of the initial lecture oi
non- -partisan lectures sponsored by the
Women's Republican Association. to
be held January 8. Mr. Stevenson
will discuss “Present Day Tendencies
Towards Radicalism." .
Choice of a speaker is unusually
fortunate. for in Hon. Archibald E.
Stevenson are the talents of a. writer.

well as of a successful public speaker '
of note.
Mr. Stevenson, a man of less then
‘40 years of age, the son of Prof. John
J. Stevenson, famous geologist, has
travelled extensively in Russia and
the Balkans. Due to his understand-
ing of the Communist question. he
was chosen as a member of the Lusk
committee in New York state. His
best known books are a series of our}
volumes treating the subject of com-

efforts of the women of this organiza-
tion will be deservedly rewarded. '

Safety work.
The city of St. Louisvhas done fine
work in reducing street accidents
among chldrien. and its methods
might well be copied in Norwalk. Up
to 1919, although a campaign for ac-
cident prevention had been promoted
in the city, there were about 59 rattli-
ties to children each year. and of
course many more cases of injuries.
As the result of safety instruction in
the schools, there were only is such
fatalities in 1921.
The children were encouraged to
organise safety councils of their own
to prevent accidents. One boy V who
(as always taking risks by hopping
trucks, was put on a committee to
stop this habit. 'Thls‘ cured him of
this perilous trick, as well as enligt-
ing his co-operation in ping the
practice among_others. n this auto-l
mobile age the Eel-us tochlldren are
great: and it needs a specinl'cslnpaign '
to teach them to care for themselves...
