It's The Method We Don’t Like! |
Last week the local Rotary Club joined
the many groups in the county to agree with
District Attorney John W. Beyer's plan for
catching teen-age “cowboys”. The club will,
in effect, name a committee of local citizens
to spy and snoop upon reckless drivers.
plan is to have groups of snoopers all over
the county turning in names of teen-age
reckless drivers. He promises that no arrests |
will be made excepting where a driver is
reported by more than one person.
But that in no material way changes his !
plan from being patterned along the same

At Last — Red Stop Signs —
Let's Get Them Here!
Red stop signs are the latest contribution
to life saving on our highways. These vivid
commands to STOP are being installed on
streets and highways all over the country as
a step toward reducing our frightening traf-
fic accident toll — a step many traffic offi-
cials have looked forward to for years.
Red is psychologically the proper color for
stop signs because red always means “Stop!”
Stop lights are red for this reason. Until
recently, no red sign that could be visible at
night was available, however, so we have
yellow stop signs, along with yellow warning
signs of all kinds. Many confused drivers
have sped through a yellow stop sign think-
ing it was a warning sign — often speeding
right into a fatal crash.
Now, the development of a reflective red
blank check. — — — That closed the account!

Tuesday morning when thei terrific siorm
knocked out the electricity, one of the break-
fast customers at Bennett's remarked that the
lights were out for three quarters of an hour:
“What! Why they were ofi for forty-five min-
utes.” — — — — — That makes a difference.

One of the questions in our grade school
English exam was to “define deficit.” One stu-

sheeting has made the red stop sign pos-
sible. The new signs are brightly visible from |
a quarter of a mile gway at night and shout
their scarlet message at the driver in the
daylight. There is every indication they will |
help reduce traffic accidents significantly, |
according to many traffic authorities.
Let’s hope these vivid commands to STOP |
become a symbol of a new era for all of us |
who want to make sure the highway accident |
toll will not include us.

Memorial Day |
Memorial Day always has held a strange |
fascination for us. We can remember way
back, more years than we care to admit, |
how we used to help, along with several |
p, g f
dozen of our schoolmates, pull the G.A.R. |
cannon to the cemetery. :
Memorial Day is the first holiday of the
late Spring. It’s the first chance, for those |
who like such things, to go some place and |
cook outdoors. It’s ‘a mighty pleasant day
marking the breaking away from indoor, |
winter pursuits.
But Memorial Day can — and does — |
mean a lot more than that to most of us.|
It is the one day we set aside to give at least |
a few serious thoughts to the lives and deeds
of those who risked, or gave, their lives for
their country — for the welfare and safety
of our town, so to speak.
Don’t Underrate The Farmer
Senate Majority Leader Robert A. Taft |
told a group of farm representatives from
his native Ohio the other day that the Eisen- |
hower Administration will find an answer |
to the farm problem, even though it might |
be politically “unpalatable”. |
The fiscal and farm problems, he declared, |
were the most serious of all the difficulties |
facing the American people and the Admin- |
istration. As of now, he noted, the Govern-
ment has nearly three billion dollars in stor-
ed surplus farm commodities, and the figure |
may be twice that by the end of the year.
Present legislation, Senator Taft declared,
could only lead to disaster. Continued price |
support at ninety percent of parity could not |
continue, he said, without “drastic produc- |
tion controls.”
The problem has indeed grown so stagger-
ing as to threaten the whole national econ-
omy. It grew and grew because it was nursed
through the years by ambitious politicians.
It can only be reduced by reversing the
process . . . and nobody LIKES to reduce.
But we think today’s farmers are wise,
enough and patriotic enough to be just as
worried about it as anyone else. They don’t
want “hand-outs”. And it goes against the
grain to see the bounty of the good earth
turned into a calamity instead of the bless-
ing it is intended to be.
cretary Benson has long since expressed
these sentiments, and farmers have applaud-

Recently a local Navy wife was bidding
embarking
for duty in the Pacific, and she was incensed
when she saw a black Scotty trc! aboard.
“Why should dogs be aliowed to go along

“Madam.” he replied. “all the men can pet
