EDITORIAL DON'T SUPPRESS NEWS No one has a right to demand that a newspaper suppress a story, alter facts, or change the emplasis given to a story. Especially is this true where a matter vital to the public interest in involved. And yet the man who would keenly resent interference of another party in the conduct of his own professional affairs, often has no hesitancy in dictating to the journalist just how he shall proceed in the con- duct of his newspaper. PATRONIZE LOCAL STORES INSTEAD OF PEDDLERS There are stores in town where anything can be purchased in the knowledge that anything found un- suitable will be cheerfully exchang- ed. This is not the case with the peddler, who works perhaps a town a day and is far away. before poor workmanship or inferior quality have been discovered. Buying in local stores is not only safer but cheaper. Selling from door to door because of the high number of the calls which must be made for each sale, is costly. Play safe by buying at home. THE FAMILY REUNION Again the season for family re- unions and home-comings approach- es. It is to be hoped that our peo- ple will not let present strenuous economic conditions result in any diminution in the number or size of such events this summer. On the other hand there should be more of them. They strengthen family ties and other friendships. They are creators of a sentiment that needs strengthening in the present day— the home-loving sentiment that ex- erts a great influence on our lives. DROWNING SEASON HERE The swimming season is here. We again call attention to the dangers that lurk in unknown streams and lakes, and urge parents to prohibit their children from swimming or wading in unfamiliar water, or go- ing to lakes and streams unattend- ed. Children who cannot swim should not be allowed to go wading in streams alone, because of the possibility of stepping into a deep hole and drowning, and even those who can swim are not immune from the danger. There is perhaps no more la- mentable death than one that comes from drowning. They are so easily preventable. Let's be more careful this year than ever before. THE BATTLE OF WORDS The average voter must be dis- gusted with the silly arguments be- tween Speaker John N. Garner of the House and President Hoover. The citizens of the country, regard- less of party, are not seriously con- cerned about their petty arguments It looks as if they could lay aside personalities, differences and polit- ical enmity long enough to co-oper- ate in cleaning house at Washing- ton. The country does not want higher taxes, but does want and de- mands economy in government. Millions of taxpayers’ dollars could be saved by consolidations, elimina- tion of bureaus which are overflow- ing with parasites, and economy with government funds. LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT It is certain that we can the expenses of the government brought down; if we will try. We must take enough interest in mat- ters political to go to the polls and vote on election day and we must keep a watch on affairs in Wash- ington. We have allowed things in Washington to drift along to suit selfish politicians. This country is ours. The gov- ernment is ours. Members of con- gress are our servants. We elect our public officials. They are bound to listen to majorities. Majorities rule. The great mass of people who ought to be interested have been asleep. That is the reason that the costs of government have soared to dizzy heights. What can we do? We can write our congressmen and senators. We can draw up petitions. They are effective. They show that we are watching our public servants. Economy is necessary if prosper- ity is to be restored. Indifference begets selfishness. Selfishness soon begets politics. Politics begets manner of evils. Write to your sen- ators and congressmen today. Now is the time for all of us to rise up and say: “This orgy of spending has gone far enough.” —— Qe Oil City—Plans underway for resur- facing and improvement of portions of Seneca and Center streets. all Miss Rebekah Sheaffer, dean of women at the Elizabethtown Col- lege, addressed the meeting of the Willing Workers’ class of the Church of God on Tuesday evening the home of Mrs. Isaac Eshel- man, on North Market street, here.

Late spring and summer manure must be moved away from the barn and often there is no crop land available on which to pasture. Fif- ty pounds of superphosphate on each spreader load of manure will help to bring in clover and increase quality, quantity, and palatability of the grazing. —- 0 ee Sow Cover Crops Orchard cover crops should be sown immediately. Legumes are considered best in most cases. Where legumes cannot be grown to advan- tage, millet, sudan grass. oats, and rye are better than no cover crop at all. By seeding cover crops in the peach and apple orchard now. the cost of cultivating for the re- mainder of the season is eliminated. Few Drivers Fit For Fast Speeds STATE COMMISSIONER OF MOTOR VEHICLES CLAIMS FEW DRIVERS ARE CAPABLE OF SAFE DRIVING AT 70 MILES PER HOUR Few automobile drivers are capable of safe driving at 70 miles an hour or more, according to Benjamin G. Ey- non, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles. “The Pennsylvania Vehicle Code fixes 40 miles an hour as the legal speed limit on the highways,” Eynon say. “But motor car manufacturers,” he adds, “are constantly calling the public's attention to the fact that their cars will do 75 miles or 80 miles an hour. Indirectly, they are urging Pennsylvania motorists to break the law every time they take to the road. Few drivers can safely handle a car at these excessive speeds.” In addition to cautioning motorists against excessive speed, the Commis- sioner today gave a few safety sug- gestions that may be of value to the veteran driver as well as the begin- ner. Here they are: Safety Suggestions “At intersections, the automobile ap- proaching from the right has the right of way. Pedestrians crossing within a crosswalk have the right of way, ex- cept at intersections where the move- ment of traffic is regulated by a traf- fic officer or traffic signal. “When about to overtake and pass a car traveling in the same direction you are going, make certain of an assured clear distance ahead; signal following driver, if any; pass to the left without crowding. Do not ‘cut in’ too closely ahead of the overtaken vehicle. “When being overtaken and passed by another car approaching from the rear give way to the right. Do not in- crease speed until passing has been completed by the approaching car. “The Vehicle Code forbids following another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard to the speed of the vehicle ahead and the traffic upon and con- dition of the highway. Buses and trucks must not follow within 500 feet, except in city traffic. Danger Points “It is dangerous to park near the crest of a hill, on curves, at private driveways, fire hydrants, no parking areas or any other place where a clear view of your car may not be obtained for a distance of 200 feet in each di- rection. The law forbids a motor ve- hicle to stand on any highway unat- tended without first setting the brakes and stopping the motor. “Should you be unfortunate enough to injure the person or property of an- other on the highways, the law re- quires you to stop and render assist- ance, disclose your identity and also report the accident to the Pennsyl- vania Department of Revenue Harris- burg, within twenty-four hours of the accident. “It is unlawful to pass or attempt to pass any other vehicle proceeding in the same direction between any points indicated by temporary warning or caution signs showing that men are at work. “In driving on mountain highways, the driver should hold his car under control and drive as near the right- hand side of the highway as is reason- ably possible, a ft no time should he coast with the ‘gears in neutral or rluéich disengaged.” INQUIRIES SHOW SLOW TREND BACK TO SMALL FARMS Demand For Cheap Places Increas- es as Jobs Vanish Activity in the farm real estate market is slow, according to reports reaching the Pennsylvania Depart- ment of Agriculture, but the num- ber of persons interested has in- creased. Inquiries are usually for small, cheap farms from 10 to 60 acres in size, worth not over $2500, well lo- cated and suitable for either poul- try raising or truck growing. Oc- casionally there is an inquiry for a dairy farm. Many of the transfers involved changes for city real es- tate. City unemployed, most with pre- vious farm experience, or people of foreign extraction with slack work in the mines, constitute the bulk of the inquiries, but farmers are said to be usually the purchasers of the larger acreages. The only credit available, judging from reports, is that which the seller is willing to extend, and the terms are usually arranged to suit the purchaser. In some localities, mortgages at 5 per have been offered. The March 1 reports from both farm land owners and realtors to the Federal State Crop Reporting Service, indicate that farm real es- tate in Pennsylvania suffered an average decline of 5 per cent. in value during the past year. The price level at the present time is estimated to be 4 per cent. below that prevailing during 1912-1914, Low prices for farm products, high taxes and scarcity of credit are blamed for the situation. Relatively speaking, PennsylvanA ia is more fortunate than the mid- western states where the present value of farm real estate has fallen to as -much as 40 per cent. below the pre-war level. The average for the United States is 11 per cent. below the 1912-1914 average. —- Eee Evergreens Need Sunlight Weed and bush growth that over tops and shades seedling pines and spruces should be cut or cleared away from the trees during late June or early July. The trees need the sunlight most at that time. Simply tramping back or breaking off the overtopping brush from the individual trees usually will suffice. SMALL CHILDREN HELP TO SWELL AUTO DEATH TOLL | —— | 17.3 Per Cent, of Those Killed Were 14 Years ! ®00 More than 17 per cent of the per- | sons killed in motor vehicle accidents in Pennsylvania in the first four months of the year were children 14 years old or less. There were 583 per- sons of all ages killed. Of that num- ber 101, or 17.3 per cent were children. | “This is an appalling loss of child life,” Benjamin G. Eynon, Commis- | sioner of Motor Vehicles, said today in | discussing the slaughter of the child- | ren, If that many children were killed | during the winter months, what can | we expect with summer here, school over and more children playing in the | streets? Parents ought to be directly | interested in the safety of their chil- dren. They should forcibly impress on the minds of their little ones the dan- ger of playing on streets and high- ways. “Children as well as adults should learn to cross only at street intersec- tions. Children should be taught to avoid darting out into the street or highway from behind parked vehicles. By walking into the street from behind a parked vehicle they are always in danger of being run down by an ap- proaching vehicle, Teach your chil- dren to look to the left before they leave the sidewalk even though they are crossing at an intersection. Teach | them to look to the right when they are in the middle of the street. “Children should be old of the dan- ger of stealing rides on trucks, ice wagons and various other horse-drawn vehicles, Hitching rides is against the law but that means nothing to a child in pursuit of a ride for a block or so. Telling them it is against the law won’t do much good. Telling them it may mean their being killed or seriously injured may help. Perhaps a little home treatment after a child has been, detected stealing a ride may help more than anything else. That depends on the child. “Conservation of child life, in so far as it relates to the motor vehicle, is a responsibility resting on motorists and parents. Each must bear their share of the burden. No matter how cautious the driver may be, he needs all his wits when nearing a group of children at play. Whether they are playing on the street or sidewalk should make no difference to him. They may run wild any minute, “Parents should continually instruct ©) THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO., PA. 20000000000000000000000000000000 YOUR INSPECTION The merchant and manufacturer who advertise, ac- tually are placing their merchandise before you for They invite your most critical attention and an uncompromising comparison. inspection.

Talk safety to them frequently. It’s too late after the accident has happened.” A Ame HEALTH CARS ARE Sr READY FOR TOUR; TEST CHILD HEALTH The rural health cars, of the bu- reau of child health, State Depart- ment of Health, have received their final re-fitting, and are now ready for the summer’s work in the rural regions of various counties of the Commonwealth, according to Dr. J. Bruce McCreary, Deputy Secretary of Health. Tentative selection of Tioga and Potter counties in the north central group, Westmoreland county in the western group and York county in the eastern end of the State, have been announced, as centers of) activity for the health cars during the next few months. Physicians, dentists, dental hy- gienists and nurses make up the personnel of each car, and their work is directed by Dr. Mary Riggs Noble, chief of the pre-school di- vision, bureau of child health. The activities of the cars are confined to the rural regions in each county, since the entire purpose of the movement is to bring the benefits of a pre-school examination to those children who are normally out of reach of such service. . Those in charge of a health car prefer to stop at a rural school building and use its facilities in the health conference work conducted. The day and hour of arrival have been announced by the field workers of the pre-school division, and the mothers in the community urged to bring their children who have never attended school to the health car for appr gal. The doctor, the dentist, the nurse each play their part in the work of examination. A card is filled out bearing the date, child’s name, lo- cation, and the advice that “your child has been examined and the following conditions found: You are advised to consult your physician at once and secure the necessary treatment.” This is signed by the physician in charge of the health car, and given to the parents for their guidance in cor- recting defects. No medical advice or treatment is given. The motor units are not traveling dispensaries. They dis cover health defects. The family doctor must do the rest. Aree A Ieee.
