Happy Holiday? | lIIR
\\\ all look forward to a pleasant Fourth

read tins editorial carefully and benefit
from it
More than 1.7 million Americans have
died m automobile accidents since 1906.
when the Federal government started keep
ing automobile accident records. This rep
resents a higher death toll than that of all
of the nation s wars. Since 1930. more than
79 million other;, have been injured by cars.
Tins slaughter and maiming of people
on oni stieets and highways is a blight on
mankind and his survival
In 10 yeais the economic loss from U.S.
traffic accidents has reached an astounding
$175 bllion Last year the economic loss
reached a new high of 514.249.000.000 or an
aveiage of approximately 5286 for each
family in the United States.
More than S5O million annually has been
invested by industry to educate the public on
traffic safety
Howe\er. the real answer is up to each
indn idual The tremendous loss of life and
property must be reversed. The time to
start is on this Fourth of Julv week-end and

Curbing Free Choice *
Mass production and mass distribution
are the foundation of the widely distributed
abundance that we all enjoy Both are pro
ducts of our tree market, free choice econo
mic system —a system that permits the con
sumer to walk into any store of his choice
and select items from the shelves at his own
discretion. The free market means exactly
what it says No one is looking over your
shoulder when you make a purchase. On the
contraiy. merchants are anxious to please
consumers. That is how they stay in busi
ness.
But something new is entering the dis
tribution system m the guise of the “boy
cott " Through the medium of the boycott,
eveiy effort is being made to force the na
tion's merchants to discontinue carrying a
certain item on their shelves, thus depriving
consumers of the basic right of free choice.
In this instance, the boycott is aimed at
table grapes If the boy cotters have their
way, there will be no grapes on store

question of unionizing agricultural workers
in California, -And supermarkets are under
pressure to take sides in the dispute. If they
are forced to remove grapes from their
shelves, they are forced into the role of
judge and jury in the dispute.
If this process works with grapes, no
one knows what may be next—there are
8.000 items in a modern supermarket. To
morrow it may be bread, milk, meat or
some other necessity. The principle im olv
ed in this dispute is simple. It is the princi
ple of free choice upon which mass produc
