The only answer is that we Americans live and work to the beat of a faster “tempo.” We speed and rush in our work, in our play, in all things we do. We have the most factories and | | the largest factories; we have the most | motorcars; we are engaged in more hazardous pursuits than those living 2 in slower moving countries. So it is necessary for us to give much thought to safety. If our factories are hazardous we must devise safeguards. With traffic accidents claiming a life every 17 seconds we must get busy and perfect a remedy. “Safety Week” in Western Pennsyl- vania will approach the problem from an educational viewpoint, It’ should develop a safety consciousness in all of us so that we will be ready and willing to cooperate in the activities which safety engineers tell us will make our nation safer.

Hope, Rather Than Optimism His view of the situation, voiced briefly in conclusion, was one of hope rather than optimism. Commending his associates in the county government for their honest efforts to solve the problem, the controller expressed the belief that a break in the present busi- ess depression would help conditions, but declared emphatically that expen- ditures must be cut to the bone, or an increase in the tax millage put into effect. He saw little hope in the latter alternative, however, decrying the in- creased burden on the taxpayers and pointing to the fact that the tax- payers already are finding difficulty in meeting “ their assessments. “Increased | { | | issues for voting machines, roads and bridges now under construction and poor board improvement totaling ap- jerozimuinly $650,000, | “The burden is becoming greater [in Cambria county every year,” Mr. | Cannon told the Lions. The county is spending close to $125,000 a year to maintain persons in state penitentiar- ies and other institutions, he pointed out, and recent reports show a.deficit of $25,212 in a single year for operating the county jail and another bill of $105,000 for maintaining the, courts |after fines had been deducted. The | controller also quoted figures to show | that expenditures for outdoor relief in- [creased from $25,729 in 1919 to $122 - | 794 in 1927, with a slight decrease now "being shown. Much For State Purpos Out of the six and three-quarters | mills assessed for county purposes, the | controller stated, the county commis- | sioners are required to finance court | expenses, roads and bridges, election expenses, charities and comgection, maintenance of the courthouse jail, juvenile home and county home, mo- ther’s assistance, farm bureau. and | bonds and coupons. It'is estimated that | three-fourths of one mill goes for staie | purposes. ; | State legislation, which is steadily shifing the financial burden from the state to the county, was scored vigor- ously. The speaker flayed tha new 1 per cent penalty for non-payment of taxes as unfair and: declared that it is time for the county to call a halt in aiding state road-building work and seek a refund of the thousands . of dollars expended for damages occa- sioned bys road improvements. As a specific charge against the unfairness of state legislative measures, he point- ed out that, whereas fines for certain motor code violations are collected by jail stays of persons who are unable to pay the fines. “If they're going to keep on going down to Harrisburg and pass- ing these revenue-raising measures and putting the burden back on the coun- ty,” he declared, “It's time we had a recess in legislation for the next four or five” Question Is Serious One “Anything I say will not be said in criticism of any public official in Cam- bria county,” the controller stated. The question at issue is a serious one, par-| ticularly because of the business de- pression, he said, and county officials are meeting it to the best of their abilities. “Mistakes have been made in the past,” he added, “but I believe everyone is on the right track now.” HURT IN REPAIRING TIRE Manley Patterson, a mechanic em- ployed at the garage of the Nanty-Glo Auto Co., met with a painful injury Friday afternoon. A tire which he was repairing on a truck blew off and a piece of the steel rim hit him on the side of the head. A gash was cut from the corner of the left eye through the lobe of the ear, severing a facial artery and a number of teeth were broken by the blow. the state, the county must pay for the FARM CALENDAR Timely Reminders from The Pennsylvania State College School of Agriculture Feed Pullets Grain—Pullets ap- proaching maturity should be encour- aged to conusme large ‘quantities of grain, Improve Dairy Herd—Raise.. heifer calves from only the evry best cows. This is the time the quality of the heard. “Keep down the numbers but quality” is a good motto. Mow Lawns in Fall—Lawns should be cut during the fall. If the grass is allowed toremain uncut through the winter, the lawn will be rather spotted in the spring and considerable reseed- ing will be necessary. Treat Wheat for Smut—Stinking smut is a costly pest of wheat. Treat- ing the seed with copper carbonate dust will insure a clean crop. Thor- oughly mix the grain with two and one half ounces of duset for each bus- hel, say State College plant patholo- gists. : Train the Show Colt—Training the show colt is essential to making a good impression on the judge. Animals that respond to the bidding of the exhibi- tor stand a better chance to walk off with the blue ribbon than--the sulky, balkly creatures. Trees Save Water—This is the year when tree cover, especially evergreen, around the spring has almost bene- ficial effect. With their tremendous capacity for catching and holding wa- ter in the soil, evergreen trees often mean the difference between a flowing and a dry spring. They keep the water cooler, too. Prepare Laying Houses—Thoroughly repair, clean, and disinfect all laying houses before the pullets are confined to winter quarters.
