Patton is so peculiarly situated that a great portion of its traffic in order that it conduct business with its neigh- bors, be directed over the improved paved road to Carrolltown. This high- way is a township improvement and does not come under state jurisdiction. Consequently, during the winter months, the township has a hard time of it, if the snows are deep ones, in keeping the road open. Over in Susquehanna township, bet- ween Hastings and Barnesboro is ano- ther vitally important highway to the folks of Hastings and Barnesboro, that has like conditions. These two highways are really links in the travel routes in Northern Cam bria county that are vitally important to all the residents in the northern Cambria towns. Efforts have been made in the past by the Kiwanis Club and by popu- lar petition to have the roads taken over by the state highway department, but, so far as we know, no action has been made. Even though the state doesn’t feel inclined to take the roads over from a maintenance standpoint, we feel that in justice to all of us here in Northern Cambria county, and in justice to the two townships involved, it would indeed be striking a popular chord if the state were to agree to keeping the two highways cleared of snow in the same manner it does with other of its highways in this section that are really not as important as the ones named. Concerted action on the part of all the citizens of the north county towns might have some effect. At any rate it worth a trial. DON'T FORGET THE RED CROSS We believe that most of the citizens of Cambria County are familiar with the work of the Red Cross, which is now asking our citizens to enroll as| members for the coming year. The American Red Cross is chartered by Congress for a specific purpose its chief concern being to take care of the “soldiers and sailors in the service of the government, particularly in time of war. However, the peace work of the Red Cross deserves the support of every one of us. In serving as a vehicle for diaster relief, taking charge of the collection as well as the wise expenditure of every cent contributed by generous citizens, the Red Cross justifies its existence. Of course, there will be criticism. This is inevitable in every phase of human 666 is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria. It is the most speedy remedy known organization to the extent of a mem- bership, which only costs us one dollar for a whole year. AL ETI A DR THE STOCK MARKET DEBACLE. The aftermath of the stock market | debacle is bringing a segies of stories, {money too fast, especially when you are folling with forces that you do not understand. | The fact that the buying of stocks, | for a long time past, has been on a | speculative basis, with the purchasing | public expecting to turn lose on anoth- |er buyer soon at a big profit, rather | than upon an investnwent basis, where | the purchaser buys with an eye on the dividend rates of the companies. | The stock market losses are bad, be- | cause in too many instances they are {to be borne by innocent investors, who had no business in the game. However, fundamentally there is nothing to justify the enormous depreciation of stock values. It, like the speculation that went before, has already carried too far. NLT TE EDA ETT, SENSIBLE POSTAL REQUEST. The interest of the postal authorities in the request to the motoring public of Pennsylvania to get applications for 1930 license plates to Harrisburg early is of course to relieve the Christmas mails. The expectation for the largest holiday postal business on record is general; the public should co-operate to clear the way for the purely sea- sonable trade. The Icense tags, al- though they become mandatiry only on Jan. 1st, are not by any strectch of imagination subject to last minute haste nor matters of sentiment. The registration authorities have long since done their part by placing the ap- | plication forms in the hands of the | public. The duty has been reduced to | simplers terms, little more than writ- {ing the check for the fee. There is no possible excuse fon the delay. The petition of the postal officials is time- ly and should be heeded. There always | have been tardy applicants and there will be such this year; their numbers should be reduced to the minimum. | SUGGESTIONS FOR {PREVENTING ACCIDENTS. t The National Safety Congress states | that, last year, 27,500 people were kill- |ed in automobile accidents, and re- | commends uniform traffic laws, stand- jard traffic signs and a driver's license law in every state to eliminate unfit |drivers from public streets and high- ways. Our annual toll of deaths and in- juries is harrowing proof of the in- efficiency of our traffic and licensing ordinances. Thousands of reckless, in- competent and other wise dangerous crowd the highways, a menace to the life and property of every citizen. Compulsory insurance laws have been advocated in most states and a num- ber of them, in various forms, have been passed. Yet little has been done to correct the conditions that make insurance protection for the public ne- cessary. It is unthinkable that civilized na- tion, possessing more highways and automobiles than any of the world's great powers, should allow the reck- | less and incompetent driver to run rampant at the controls of a ton or [more of metal moving with terrific force. Every citizen should realize, as | he reads of automobile accidents in | his morning paper, that he may be | the next victim.
