Smee LIL LG RTL TEL PAGE SIXTEEN ' THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Entertains To Teach Safety Rules Lexington, Ky. Oct. 20.--(AP)-- A policeman who pulls safety slo- gans and rabbits out of the hat is applying magic to saving lives in Kentucky streets and highways. State Police Lieut. Lee Allen , & master magician and ven- uist, tours the school circuit /with a truck load of tricks that carry home his safety warnings. i De putas on the théory that ] must be heard to be learn- ed, As a county patrolman 12 years @go, he watched children yawn through a safety lecture. He con- ;vinced his chief he could make the 'words stick by demonstrating them * with a trick. Lieut. Estes is more than a suit- case magician. He carries his show in a two-ton truck. The lecture comes first in his ool program. He times it to last _ only as long as little ears will list- en to admonitions. that children should not double up om a bicycle, snitch rides on trucks or outos, or put their arms or heads out the window of vehicles while riding. Just before the Houdini of the " highways "loses" his audience, he 'digs into his tricks. His favorite , trick. involves a chalk-drawn pig on a small slate. He draws the pig and then makes it turn its head from side to side, the idea being that children should always look both 'ways before crossing a street. During his talk, he tears to bits & pAper cone. When the operation is completed, he drops the remains, and a banner'with a safety slogan is' formed. After emptying 'eight trunks loaded with similar stunts, Lieut. Estes brings om a pop-eyed, big- mouthed dummy wearing a state police uniform to fihish the show. The dummy is Willie Talk, who sasses like Charlie MeCarthy but jabbers Jfatety talk the kids listen to with/glee, . Lieut. EStes estimates he has car- ried his magic story show to more than a million kids and adults in travelling 120,000 miles. Kentucky's record for accidental C.LO.

The money Laing is trying to pass out is not his own, either | He was picked by a Federal court to supervise the refunding of $12,- 300,000 to natural-gas users in 10 Michigan cities. The funds became available when the court made a retroactive cut in gas rates charged by the Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company to Michi- gan Consolidated Gas Company, Consumers Power Company and other Michigan firms. The court further ordered that householders and other actual users land--(CP)--A piglet, one of a first litter of 12 born to & young sow, forehead with two pupils adjoining, jaws like a rhinoceros. of the gas should, gét the money.

The remainder is due. to persons who used gas between the fall of 1942 and the end of September 1945.
