arships which are awarded each year
to two Cambria County high school
seniors, it was announced last Friday
by Louis E. Sheehan, head of the Am-

erican Legion.
Qualified students from schools in
the Johnstown district will take the
test in the Junior College division of
the Central High School Building, and
students from the county schools will
be given the examination at the Ebens-
burg Courthouse.
In order to compete for the scholar-
ship,students are first required to write

words on the subject, “America's Con-
tribution to Democracy.”
The best essays are selected at the
various schools and the student author
of each is then eligible to take the
scholarship examinations.
Two tests will be given, one in Eng-
lish and the second in general intelli-
gence. Viers W. Adams will be in
charge of the tests at the high schools,
while the examinations at Ebensburg
will be under the direction of Dr. Ar-
thur M. Stull, superintendent of Cam-
bria County schools.
Senator Haluska turned over the
scholarships to the Cambria County
Legion Committee to dispose of in the
manner chosen. The scholarships are
for Temple University, University of]
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania State College
dr University of Pennsylvania.
NEW DEMANDS PLACED
ON MODERN EDUCATION
Harrisburg — Dr. Lester K. Ade,
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
said recently that education for mo-
dern times must meet new interests
and new demands created by progress.
Some of the new interests and ideas
which demand educational readjust-
ment within our schools are the in-
creasing number of functions of gov-
ernment, conservation, and unions and
production associations. Other devel-
cpments which call for consideration
in modern education are the nationa-
lization of agriculture and industry,
the changes in the course of foreign
relations, the shorter work hours,
crime problems, and the tranformed
structure of the family.
These are part of a modern child's
environment. If he is to live intell-
igently in this environment, he must
become familiar with the factors that
will inevitably confront him. This con-
stitutes a definite responsibliity of the
modern school.
TWO OUTSTANDING
FEATURES AT GRAND
THEATRE, SATURDAY
Two outstanding attractions on one
bill of fare is coming to the theatre pa-
trons of the Grand theatre, Patton, on
Saturday evening of this week. The
first of these is Michael Whalen and a
stellar cast in a comedy drama that
will epp you on your toes, and is
entitled“ Pardon Our Nerve.” It alone
is well worth the admission price.
In feature No. 2 Dorothy Lamour
fans, swing fans, Maxine Sullivan fans,
romance fans, and just plain lovers of
robust screen stories, will find all they
want in “St. Louis Blues,” a sparkling
cocktail of drama, music and humor,
which is as original as Miss Lamour’s
personality and as romantic as the fa-
mous song upon which the picture is
based. It highlights the dramatic ex-
perience of a Broadway celebrity on
the loose in the Mississippi region.
Miss Lamour plays the celebrity who
finds life for the first time aboard a
showboat after running away from the
demands and forced glamour of the
theatrical world.
Don’t miss this double bill.
“WELL! WELL!
WHAT'S THIS?”
“That Long Distance call I
made to Aunt Sarah last
month cost only a dollar!
“‘She lives nearly 450 miles
from here so I thought it
would be more. Guess I’ve
been 'way wrong on the cost
of Long Distance calls.”
“ “ “
Most people do guess far too
high on Long Distance rates.
Look over the typical rates
in the front pages of your
directory. Note especially
how much you save after 7
at night and all day Sunday.
Take advantage of these
savings for calls to the folks
back home.

SPEED IS CALLED NO. 1
AUTO ACCIDENT CAUSE
Ticket Fixing Also Indicted As Second
By Traffic Safety Expert; Five
Rules Proposed.
Strict enforcement of reasonable
speed limits remains the No. 1 cor-
rective ror America's annual and un-
wanted harvest of street and highway
crashes, according to Julien H. Har-
vey, widely known authority an acci-
dent prevention measures and mana-
ging director of the National Conser-
vation Bureau.
Next to speeding Mr. Harvey ranks
ticket fixing as a primary contributor
to the national traffic accident toll,
which every year exacts payment in
thousands of persons killed, hundreds
of thousands injured, and billions of
dollars wasted.
“There isn’t a community in the
ccuntry, however, large or small,”
declares Mr. Harvey, “that can not
have an inexpensive and efficient ac-
cident prevention program which will
produce results. Cumulative exper-
ience has demonstrated that effective
safety does not call for fancy pana-
ceas. It is more responsive to the home-
spun principles of plain common sense.
“Consider.. the case of Worcester,
Massachusetts, an average American
community. The police department,
firmly supported by local authorities
and civic bodies, set out in the Fall of
1838 to enforce speed limits rigidly
and absolutely ban ticket-fixing —
with no exceptions. In four montis
traffic deaths were reduced 50 per
cent, injuries 60 per cent, and ambu-
lance calls for automobile crashes dro-
pped 78 per cent.
“Worcester is now in the process
of putting into effect a well-rounded
traffic safety program, in the making
of which engineers of the National
Conservation Bureau co-operated. It
contains no magic; its ingredients are
merely enforcement to curb the law-
lessness, education to teach the unin-
formed, and engineering to iron out
troubles at accident-prone intersec-
tions.”
Mr. Harvey has outlined five car-
dinal principles by which the enforce-
nent authorities—police, courts, mo-
tor vehicle departments and engineers
——can improve traffic hazards in co-
operation with the schools:
1. Establish reasonable speed limits
—with due regard to congestion in
cities and more open roads in rural
scetions—and then enforce them as vi-
gorously as every law which protects
the life and property of citizens.
2. Stop ticket-fixing, without fav-
oritism or fear; but if necessary resort
to court summons to break up this
evil practice.
3. Make tests for drivers’ licenses
fair but stringent; deny no qualified
applicant the privelege to operate a
motor vehicle, but be prompt to re-
voke that privilege for those who can-
not or will not conform, remembering
that human lives may be the forfeit
for leniency.
4. Establish and maintain a thorough
safe driving course in your high
schools, remembering that of 7,500,000
youngsters now in high school throu-
ghout country, approximately 75 per
cent will be driving automobiles soon.
5. Eliminate accident-breeding con-
ditions at intersections and other ha-
zardous locations by applying sound
traffic engineering principles.
As head of the National Conserva-
tion Bureau, accident prevention de-
partment of the Association of Cas-
ualty and Surety Executives, Mr. Har-
vey directs the program of an organi-
zation that long has pioneered in the
safety movement, not only as regards
traffic but also in industry, the home,
and recreational pursuits as well. Be-
fore heading the National Conservation
Bureau he was in charge of the Great-
er New York Safety Council.
“Communities will always find their
police and other law enforcement ag-
encies ready to make safety work if
the public reasonably suports their
efforts,” he says from long study and
experience. “But when policemen ar-
rest offenders, only to learn in court
that they have used ‘pull’ to get a
ticket fixed and thereby escape pun-
ishment, is it any wonder that officers
become first discouraged and then
perhaps, careless. :
“Good citizens who want their com-
munities to be safe must come to the
help of their enforcement authorities.
Rou bind not only obey speed
> when necessary suit their
speed to €xisting conditions on street
and highway. Above all d i
should regard it as di LE vers
£ shonorable and
ig Soning B hi a ticket fixea.
1 ometimes make
mistakes in driving; but ijt takes a
thoroughbred to admit it,
i Similarly, pedestrians must remem-
er that they, too, have ga definite
obligation, They should observe pro-
per precaution when crossing streets.”
