It ranks right along with strikes of doctors or police- men, or shutdowns of power services. People upon whom the health and well-being of a nation depend, have a responsibility to the nation which permits them to organize, to demand, and to throw a monkey-wrench into the works. This is a long-suffering nation. It patiently waits while traffic stops in its tracks, wheels refuse to turn in the subway, planes refuse to fly, railroads cancel service, buses remain in the car-barn. The time selected for the strikes'is always the most strategic. Demands carry a lot more weight if behind them there is a long line of frustrated travellers. Who knows how many lives have been lost because the airplanes are grounded? Even twenty years ago, it would not have made toc much difference. Commerical flying was in its infancy. You flew, more as a novelty than anything else. But now, planes carry antibiotics and blood plasma. They fly a child with a safety pin lodged in his throat to a hospital where an operation may save his life. Twenty years ago, the child might have died, and the blood plasma delivered too late. We have come to depend upon fast service when it is needed. In the days of the pioneers, a horse-and-buggy doc- tor might have performed kitchen-table surgery, and been successful. Many an oldster is alive today because the family doctor was right there on the job, allaying the fears of the parents and performing a miracle. But it is reassuring to 4 parent to know that a fast’ plane can deliver a suffering "child to" a hospital where everything is at hand for an emergency. The planes will not remain grounded. The people who are stranded somewhere will event- ually all get home, the young couples who expected to fly into the sunset on a plane will spend their honeymoon somewhere else. There will be heat prostrations among elderly people who have no business to be drivng long distances in hot weather. The ultimate consumer will pay the Tltimate bill. .. as always. We are a patient people. ¥ * ¥ Arterial Traffice That boy on a bicycle, killed on Highway 81. What was he doing on an interstate highway on a bicycle? Interstate Highways are for rapid transit, not for bicycles. It is sheer murder to encounter a wobbling child on a bike even on a back road where the speed limit is 25 or 35 miles an hour. At sixty-five miles an hour, the speed permitted on many interstate highways, the boy dosen’t have a chance, if he swerves one foot from his path. He is across the road and under the wheels, and the driver has the burden on his conscience all the rest of his life. In all conscience, let us keep the interstate highways for interstate traffic. Enough accidents happen with- out the added challenge. of keeping a lookout for children. Arterial highways are for arterial traffic. ¥ SWITCHEL, ENYONE? by Catherine Giibert Does anyone in the Back Moun- tain make switchel, or even know it ie?

SCHMAPS ! 1] by Louise Marks It’s an old story . . the one about folks getting confused with turn pike exits, but here's one about a dummy who found the entrances a source of bewilderment. If only it hadn't happened a year ago, at exactly the same spot, the tale wouldn't be so crazy. Enroute to Wilkes-Barre from Delaware, after the map was carefully con- preferred one because at Norris- town it connected with the Penna. Turnpike, which connected with the Northeast - Extension. Road mark- ings pointed the way to the Turn- pike but woe was me, nothing in- dicated that the Turnpike entrance I hit, headed west instead of east and 1 found myself flying along toward Harrisburg with no possible way to turn around, no exits for miles and miles; nothing to do but grit my teeth, mutter some un- pleasant words and hope for a way out of the mess! Finally an Exit. . a reverse of my travel pattern and an arrival home over an hour late! This year, it wasn’t going to happen! Absolutely not! This year I'd be certain I didn't get on the wrong side of that Turnpike. . . so when I came to the junction and gaw a sign which said “WEST END” Har- visburg.... . Tsaid “A. . Ha? . . “That's not for me”. Refusing to enter, I traveled straight ahead two miles, found nothing which indicated another entrance and discovered upon in- quiry I must turn back to the en- trance I had passed ‘up. Obediently, 1 did just that! Or, thought I did, until I came face to face with a sign which said TURNPIKE SOUTH. “Oh, Me” . .. . where was I now?" Hesitation being impossible, cars whizzing by like jets. ... a quick exit to the right . . . “Get off this blasted thing be- fore you end up back in Delaware’. “OK now I'm off that speedway . . what do I do now?” No turnpike in «'ght . . . a country road leading to Malvern. “Ye Gods, I. was in Malvern 30 minutes ago’.
