Police Officer on Safety First

Captain Shotter then presented Assistant Commissioner Baker who remarked that after listening to the two splendid speeches already delivered, he felt that there was little left for him to say. As Chief of the Traffic Department, however, he felt that a great responsibility rested on him regarding the increase in the number of accidents that had taken place as the result of the congested conditions ^t present existing.

Mr. Baker stated that he had almost been at a loss as to how to deal with the situation when the idea of a Safety First Campaign occurred to him. Few would realize the tremendous amount of work the Committee formed for this purpose had put in, but he was sure that on the completion of the Safety First Week. which opens on June 18, the extent of their labours would be appreciated. He was satisfied, too, that they would be crowned with success. technical complaints to the bank's head office and some one told them Of his secret wedding.

The head office asked him to resign. If he did so they said he would get half of his contribution from the widow's fund. If he refused he would get no contribution. When he asked the reason they said he would know best.

"Mr. Kelly said so far as they knew the clerk had a good record as an employee, The only thing he has done is to marry without the bank's permission. The bank have turned down several requests to consider the situation. He will be dismissed and given no refund from the widow's fund.

Surely it is absurd that years after they make him suffer because of his secret marriage."
