EDITORIAL Whether we like it or not we must work, and we must accept employ- ment at the best terms we can get. This is hard doctrine, but there seems to be no escape from it. If nature had not made us a little frivolous we should be most wretch- ed. It is because one can be frivo- lous that the majority do not hang themselves. It is sweet to be foolish on occasion. A WRENCH IN THE COGS Everytime it begins to look as if something may be accomplished for peace and prosperity: by international agreement, a lot of patriotic hundred- percenters interfere again and spoil the plan. NATION IS A SPENDTHRIFT As a result of the war and seeming- ly good times, the people became spendthrifts and now the nation has followed in their stead. We are bor- rowing to meet our obligations, Uncle Sam pledging his word as well as property to guarantee the payment of bonds and treasury certificates of more than a billion dollars. It is estimated that we will go into the red to the ex- tent of more than two billions before the end of the fiscal year. Living be- yond our means, plunging so to speak, has bought on the present depression, and Uncle Sam continues to borrow and mortgage. Why not call in some foreign loans, and get back to an eco- nomical period, when it was not so stylish to be extravagant. PROTECT THE LOCAL FIRM If we could see the shining light of protection to be thrown around local industry, local commerce, local retail and wholesale fields, that step will be one of the strongest in favor of the lo- cation of other business people in this boro. At present there is very little to safe-guard the interest of the man who has invested here. Unfair competition may come upon him, cut prices, force into the door- way of our homes whether wanted or not, get a certain volume of business and leave without contributing toward the maintenance of the boro one quota. On the other hand is the picture of the home industry, the home retail and wholesale merchant, the farmer of our territory, fighting to build trade and at the same time being forced to meet all sorts of competition, none of which means value to our boro. This protection should be thrown around the home merchant, the home manufacturer and the home farmer. It is one of the sure ways to build a good town. TRUCKS AND ROADS When trucks too large for existing highways operate over them there are but two possible solutions of the prob- lem presented. One is to widen and improve the highways for the benefit solely of trucks operating at a profit or limit the size of the trucks so oper- ating. It is inconceivable, almost that the legislature will hesitate as between these alternatives. The one would be expensive to the taxpayers of the state and a subsidy to commercial organiza- tion; the other would cost the state nothing and would cost the truck op- erators nothing but profits made by operation on roads paid for by the state Automobile transportation is a modern development that is not to be stifled except by failure to compete with other means of freight transport- ation. If it can compete on even terms with railroads, the railroads must stop yelling the blue muder and take steps, if possible, to meet the com- petition, or confess defeat. But there is no reason why the state should help one side to the commercial conflict. There is every reason why it should not help either by spending money for highways that are not necessary to non-commercial traffic or by permitt- ing a condition that endangers the lives of its citizens. NOT THE FIRST; WON'T BE THE LAST It was Patrick Henry who said “I have but one light to guide my foot- steps—the light of experience, no way to judge the future but by the ex- perience of the past” So with this very safe standard of measurement, how may we expect to fare in getting rid of the present depression. According to the Wall Street Jour- nal, Rockwell Smith, a Californian with a penchant for research goes back a few decades and brings depression history up to date. His findings fol- low: . “Where was a business depression in 1857 lasting 12 months; in 1869 lasting 8 months; in 1873, lasting 30 months; in 1884, lasting 22 months; in 1887, lasting 10 months; in 1893, lasting 25 For Safe Driving | BENJAMIN EYNON, COMMISSION- ER OF MOTOR VEHICLES, CLAIMS GOOD BRAKES PRE- VENT BAD BREAKS Good brakes prevent bad breaks, Benjamin G. Eynon, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, said today. Pennsyl- vania’'s motor vehicle chief was stressing the need of frequent volun- tary brake inspection on the part of the automobile operators of the State. “Our monthly toll of dead and in- jured bear witness to the carelessness of the operator who persists in driv- ing a motor vehicle mechanically out of repair,” Commissioner Eynon said, “In the first seven months of 1931, the Pennsylvania Highway Patrol stopped and inspected 524,773 automo- biles. Of that number, 54,046 were found to have faulty brakes—entirely too many unfit cars on the highways “Of these 54,046 operators, 308 failed to heed the warning notice given them by the patrolmen to have their brakes adjusted and as a result of this neg- lect were arrested. By ignoring the warning they showed they not only State Few operators know what their brakes will do, he asserted. For their information he submitted some au- thoritative data on what four-wheel brakes should do on an automobile moving at an initial speed of twenty miles an hour. Safety Distances If the brakes on a vehicle moving at that rate of speed stop it between 15 fect. If the stopping distance is be- tween 16 and 18 feet they can be con- sidered excellent; between 18 and 20 feet, good; between 20 and 25 feet, fair. If the stopping distance is between 25 and 30 feet, brakes are poor and need | attention. If it is more than 30 feet | they are no longer brakes and the au- tomobile is unsafe to drive. Reducing speed to feet traveled per | second, Commissioner Eynon gave | some startling figures supporting his request for frequent brake inspection. It has been demonstrated, he said, that a motor vehicle traveling at 10 miles an hour covers 14.66 feet per second; 15 miles an hour, 22 feet per second; 20 miles an hour, 29.33 feet per second: 25 miles an hour, 36.66 feet per second; | 30 miles an hour, 44 feet per second; | 35 miles an hour, 51.33 feet per second: 40 miles an hour, 58 66 feet per second and 50 miles an hour, 73.33 feet per | second. “What will your brakes do at these speeds in the event of an emergency?” is the question he would have every motor vehicle owner answer for him- self. “Give your brakes the Highway Pa- trol test,” the Commissioner urged. “It will give you visible proof of their ef- fectiveness. The test is a simple one and requires no mechanical brake test- ing device. All the operator needs is a six per cent. grade and a couple of husky friends. Simple Test “When you reach the hill stop the car and shut off the motor. Tell your friends to get out and push, as you shove your foot break down hard with gears in neutral. If the wheels turn as your friends push, then the brakes need attention. Repeat the same test with the emergency brake. If the car moves the emergency is not equal to its name. Both are simple tests and can’t be disputed. “Test your brakes now. Don't wait for a Highway patrolman to give you a ticket. Don't wait for an accident to prove that your brakes are not good. That accident may cost some person their life Autumn holds many. dan- gers for the unwary. Autumn foliage is beautiful but that same foliage cov- ering a wet highway can be fatal. The Highway Patrol is going to be par- ticularly active this fall in inspecting brakes. Be prepared to pass its in- spection.” —_———— GAME KILLERS ARE ALREADY IN FIELDS Officers of the Game Commission have been instructed to concentrate their attention on game killers who seem unwilling to wait until opening of legal seasons permit sportsmen to take the field. Arrests already have been made for illegal killing of wild turkeys and squirrels. Because of the ease with which both may be shot at present, bag hunters have been taking advan- tage of that condition. Farmers and sportsmen who object to such methods of killing game have been co-operating with the enforce- ment officers in locating law violators. — OE A pet crow of a boy at Manheim. was deliberately killed by a neighbor last week —D ee.

The present one is now some 21 months old, three months longer than the average and 10 months shorter than the longest recorded. An im- portant thing noted about these de- pressions, however, is that without an exception “they have been followed by flush times, and the longer the de- pression lasted, the longer and more active the boom.” If history is going to repeat in this instance, it looks as if it’s pretty near time for us to pick up the drop at our mouth corners and get set for the rise.

MT. JOY BULLETIN Need Good Brakes Foresters Gather Seeds For Planting THIS IS THE SEASON OF THE YEAR WHEN NUTS, ACORNS AND SEEDS OF FOREST TREES RIPEN AND ARE BEING COLLECTED This is the season of the year when the nuts, acorns, and seeds of the for- est trees ripen, and foresters, and rangers are busily engaged in gathering the annual supply of tree seeds for the State forest tree nurseries According to Charles R. Meek, chief of the bureau of forest extension of the Pennsylvania Department of For- ests and Waters, there will be a good seed crop of most forest tree specie with the exception of red oak. The nursery production schedule of the department calls for 11,000,000 seedlings annually. Slightly less than 1,000,000 trees are hardwoods of which the kids raised are red oak, white ash, black locust, black walnut, tulip pop- lar, sugar maple. To produce these hardwood trees 500 bushels of seeds are required The cones of the coniferous trees are being gathered and the seed extracted by drying in wire shakers. The fine coniferous seeds are carefully screened pound of seed, which average 20,000 seeds to the pound. White pine, shortleaf pine and hem- lock cones have been collected. The hemlock, the State Tree of Pennsyl- vania, is one of the most difficult of | conifers to raise in the nursery. About [150 pounds of hemlock seed will be {sown which should produce from 600,- | 000 to 800,000 seedlings. In the operation of the State forest tree nurseries, it is the practice to gather as much seed as possible within | the State. Seed for growing timber ! must be carefully selected as to source, {hence, seed is gathered only from | straight, well formed trees in the for- est. A number of special plots have been set aside in the State Forest planta- tions to be maintained as seed supply stations for procuring homegrown seed. Not much difficulty is enced by the State foresty officials in securing seeds from hardwood trees, for these bear abundant seed crops fre- quently. The coniferous species, how- ever, are uncertain seed producers, and a year of plentiful seed producers, and be followed by several years of scarci- ty. Hence, it has become necessary to depend upon those portions of the State forests where large stands of ma- ture timber produce good seed crops regularly. Fish Asso.
