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

| 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.

This summary gives an average de-
pression since just prior to the War
between the States of about 16 months.
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.
