Russell Leech for a re-nomination is based on the enviable record he has made, his deep and sincere interest in matters affecting the people of this district and the state. It is an established fact, proven in numberless instances, that best accom- plishments of a member of Congress are attained after he has served one or two terms. With the many changes that are made in Congressional per- sonnel every two years, the member who has been in continuous service obtains the most important committee assignments and chairmanships and is of much greater value and service to his constituents and state. This is be- ing more fully realized and appreciated by the voters of our district, and aside from all considerations, should and doubtless will, bring about the re- nomination and re-election of Con- gressman Leech with fine majorities. So far, in Cambria county, the Congressional situation looks well for Mr. Leech’s supporters. No very active opposition has as yet developed. For the best interests of all of us, we hope the burden of responsibility at grade crossings is on the motorist, and not the railway company. Those who fail to take reasonable precautions must take the consequences. A survey once determined that the average train consumes but seven sec- onds in passing a given point. Yet thousands of people are killed and in- jured each year in a vain attempt to “save” this infinitesimal bit of time. Perhaps the most telling commentary ongrade crossing accidents is that a large percentage of them occur when automobiles hit trains, instead of trains of trains hitting automobiles! And the constantly increasing number of deaths from such accidents affords a terrible example of the truth of “Stop, Look and Listen.” ONLY THE DUMB WOULD QUALITY. One of the finest things about the development of our industrial and mechanical civilization is the progress made in the safety movement. Millions of Americans work in fac- tories filled with complicated and potentially dangerous machinery. Yet the death and accident rate is decrea- sing. One reason for this is ‘the progress are we going to do about ‘Chicken a la Maryland,” ‘Virginia ham’ and 'Bos- ton beans?’ "—Exchange. Every Congressman, Senator, news- paper or individual who says anything worth listening to is spreading propa- ganda for or against some person or cause. There would be little speech- making, radio broadcasting, editorial writing or advertising if propaganda were eliminated, for the mouths of champions or opponents of measures, men or products would be closed, else “propaganda” would issue forth. —WEEKLY HEALTH TALK— “Compulsion has its limitations. While it has many legitimate uses and is largely responsible for regulating an infinite number of mankind's activities, it is quite helpless in others. And the subject of personal health very definitely belongs to the latter class,” said Doctor Theodore B. Appel, Secre- tary of Health. “For example, when a man has been convicted of a crime recognized by the Code, he is compelled to go to prison and thus undergo punishmeht. On the other hand, a person may commit all sorts of crimes upon his body and no one can compel him to desist in his practices or lock him up in a cell be cause of them. “And it is exactly this freedom from outside control which results in the attempts made by commercially mind- The Patton | Borough School Board | cross-sections will will receive bis until noon, April 1, | 1930, to furnish ‘school supplies for the | term 1930 and 1931.
