NO NECESSITY FOR IT
The removal of feebleminded from our state prisons and |
reformatories and remodeling of existing maximum secur- |
male
ity institutions now underway, makes the project of an Al-
catraz in Pennsylvania now unnecessary and a waste of |
public funds. :
In our opinion it would be just that much money wasted
and at a time when the public debt is already too big.
TOO BLAMED MANY LAWS
During the 1937 session of Pennsylvania State Legislature, |
602 new and revised acts were passed. This is said to be the |

ation.
THE WORLD'S BEST MILK
A health specialist recently pointed out that the United |
States, on the whole, has the best and purest
the world.

A considerable part of the credit for this immensely m- |
portant achievement must be given to the large dairy inter-

f their
and also how to handle milk in the safest possible
manner. These lessons have been widely followed—and our!
pure milk supply is the result.
TIME FOR A CHANGE
No man is allowed to operate a railroad locomotive—!
though it runs on rails along a predetermined track. with
every conceivable safety device to prevent accidents—with-
out long and rigorous training,
for health and capability.
and periodic examinations
No man can command a ship—though it plies oceans and }ce
waterways where the chance of collision with another yessel
is microscopically small—without similar training and ex-|
aminations to determine fitness and ability. I
No man can fly an airplane—though its “highway” is the!
empty air—without providing absolute proof of his com-|
petence, |
Yet any man can operate an automobile down crawded | Amo
age and a possible serious accident is a matter of inches, no!
matter how ill-fitted he is to drive safely. i
That fact largely explains our gigantic motor vehicle acci-
dent toll. In some states no examination of any kind is re-
mm
quired to obtain a driving license. In others not even a li-
cense is needed—the most ignorant and incompetent can get
behind the wheel ad roar away, endangering evervone in his | D
path. And in most of those states w here drivers’ licensing |
and prevents only the most obviously incompetent from en- |
dangering
Physical infirmities, bad vision, defective hearing. and.
most important of all, psychological handicaps that make | Welf
safe driving impossible—these are found in literally millions
of people who are today operating steel juggernauts capable |
hundred-mile-an-hour speds. We'll never go far toward
solving the accident problem until every state takes the steps
necessary to making certain that no person is given a license
without providing reasonable
proof of capability and
thorough knowledge of trafic regulations. We've let the in-
capable drive as they pleased—and they've made our hig h- |
ways a shambles.
