We THE PATTON COURIER here and Carrolltown. This road cost the township a lot of money, and is not any too good at best. It is one of the most travelled highways in this section, and great efforts should be made at the next session of the Legis- lature to have the state take it over. It would lift the burden of mainten- ance from the township and place it where it justly belongs. * * * * —THE FOURTH OF JULY, while to some extent more modified than it was some few years back in the reckless handling of fireworks, still causes quite a toll of dead and injured each year, and every precaution should be taken. Fireworks casualties, however, are now in second place. A bottle of hootch with some of its contents in the sto- mach of a driver of an automobile, possibly comes first in the celebration of the glorious holiday's toll. There are lots of other things besides care- less handling of fireworks to be stopp- ed if we are to have a really safe and sane Fourth. * * * » — CAMBRIA COUNTY POMONA GRANGE is chastised by the Master of the State Grange for the stand it issuing their annual warnings to va- has taken by resolutions condemning the Prohibition amendment, and the state organizations threatens to revoke its charter. The Grange it is said is supporting prohibition as a state unit and the action of the Cambria county unit doesn’t jibe right. So far as Cam- bria county is concerned, the members of the Pomona Granges have seen the evils as they exist. They may have to rescind their resolutions, but that won't make the evils cease to exist either in the county or in the state. * * * * —AFTER ALL, aren't the old Penn- sylvania Blue Laws just as much the law as is Prohibition. A rigid enforce- ment of both of them would make Mexico seem a much more at‘ractive place than we now vizualise it. * * * . —THE STREET COMMISSIONER and his force have made a mighty good job of paving the alley between Magee and Lang avenues. Now some of our read- ers are having us suggest that they excercise in like manner on Lang ave- nue itself between Fourth avenue and Fifth avenue. This is a much traveled route, but it’s still the old-fashioned clay road to all who pass over it. 2% x 3 In all the cities where the poll has years old, having been established in been conducted the repeal of the law comes far ahead in the minds of the people, according to the figures. After all, there is no gainsaying, the Pennsylvania Blue Laws, if rigidly enforced, would react on each and every one of us—whether you are in favor of the law or not. . You couldn't buy a newspaper on Sunday if the law were enforced to the letter as we understand it. Baseball seems to be the main fac- tor of contention in our particular section. But is baseball any worse as an “evil” sport than is automobiling, golf, smoking or any number of other in- nocent pastimes? We wonder what the readers of the Courier would decide if we were to conduct a poll along the same lines as the dailies are doing We have been urged from some quar- ters to do it. Perhaps we will. 10 VACATION GOOD SENSE The vacation season is on and health officials in many places are cationers to take their outing safely and sanely. There are various things to watch out for, chief among these being the purity of the drinking water. If that is not positively assured, every drop of water should be boiled before it is used for drinking or preparing food. Another warning concerns the indoor * worker who plunges suddenly but unwisely into outdoor life. It is fine to acquire a healthy coat of tan, but this must be done gradually. Sudden excessive exposure to the sunshine can cause severe burns and serious illness. A vacation should be a period of re- creation and building up, physically and spiritually. Rest, change of scene, new activities, fun and even work are all legitmate vacation factors, but they should be taken or let alone acord- ing to the individuals need. 10: SCIENCE AND CRIME There is a great deal of meat for crime reformers in an exhaustive new work on the crime problem called “500 Criminal Careers,” by Sheldon Glueck and Eleanor T. Glueck. The work shows, through general statistics and individual case-histories. the complicated, manifold factors that 1727. Five papers still in existence were published before the Revolution. The oldest of all dailies is the Hartford, Connecticut, Courant, founded in 1764. We are accustomed to think of 100 years as a period of time before which nothing of importance existed in Ame- rica. The evidence of these old new- spapers helps us to relize that 100 years is wot such a very long time. There were settlements West of the Mississippi 100 years ago, on such firm foundations that the communities and the newspapers established then have flourished ever since. Two newspapers in Iowa, one in Arkansas, one in Miss- ouri, are in the list of these centenar- ians of The American Press. These and the rest have survived because they filled a need of their communities, the need of interchange of ideas and of news. Neither radio nor the out-of-town daily can ever put such community papers out of business. SEALED PROPOSALS Pennsylvania Department of High- ways, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
