Editorially Speaking
~ We Are A Patient People
A strike against an airline, or a railroad, or a bus
line, is a strike against the public interest.
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.

MAPS . .. 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.

pike but woe was me, nothing in-

miles and miles; nothing to do but

I came to the junction and gaw a
sign which said “WEST END” Har-

“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-
