the first talkies will get real enjoyment from thr picture school one haa been placed by the highway de partment near the school a further improvement will be the clear ing of the sidewalk on the east side of the highway of gravel and debris which have al most completely covered it since the winter snowplowing the school board has been promised by the town that this will be done within the next week parents can cooperate with school auth orities by reminding their children to cross in the proper place and at the proper times the highway narrow and busy as it is will always be a dangerous menace but with the measures taken by the school board and with children themselves observing safety rules there is little danger of accident by paul jones director of public information national safety council the bin trouble wltti highway safety today is too much me first that s the rotten apple in the traffic barrel get rid of it and youve taken a bin step toward reducing a highway toll that is a national disgrace hie me first attitude of motorists is more ser ious than might be apparent at first glance actually this boorish traffic behaviour goes deeper than mere lack of manners it reflects the same attributes of greed selfishness and disregard for the rights of oth ers that bring about block marketing bribery corrup tion and the current slump rn old fashioned morality it seems to me that basically there isn i a lot of difference between the politician who is inclined to regard publlcjpfhds as his own private bankroll and the roadhog wtto regards the public highway as his own private racetrack each is merely taking his own way of saying me first the next time youre out taking a pleasure drive take a look at what posses for good clean fun on the highway observe the antics of the quaint charac ters you meet as they grimly give you the business in their mod scramble to be first at the finish line would you care to offer this charming bh of americana to a stranger as a demonstrators model of the american way of ufe our modern traffic brawl is the greatest mass demonstration of gutter manners ever seen in this coun try the marvel is not that so many people are killed and maimed in traffic but that so many manage to sur vive so- i earnestly recommend a concerted continu ing and relentless battle to change this me trrstt atti tude onthe part of n big segment of the motoring pub lic either we do this and quickly or those of u who still care to stay alle had better abandon our cari and take to the hills it lnt golnt to be easy of course to bring about this change in fact a lot of people think it cant bo done i believe it can but it will take a lot of time and a lot of effort by a lot of people for one thing we must get a lot of glamour into safety we have made it a dull preachy thins that has no punch or icx appeal we mint employ the adver tising and sales technique that are being used so suc cessfully today to sell permanent waves girdles and cigarettes and a big part of the job it seems to me is to change the public attitude so that the reckless showoff in traffic is regarded as a jerk rather than being quite a fellow and the polite careful guy is considered a good joe lnstewd of being slightly sissy better roods tougher law enforcement required dri ver training ond more rigid driver licensing ore other vital factor in reducing the traffic toll but none of these can be achieved as long as the public g recta safe ty appeals with enthusiastic apathy w no one can tell me that we really wont safety on the highway when a driver can get drunk run over a child and get off easier than a hunter who is caught with an out- of season deer and no one can tell me that we really want good drivers until parents insist that their sons and daugh ters be taught to operate an automobile as skilfully as they do a typewriter or a slide rule the accident toll will come down ond como down fast wihen and only when enough people take enough interest to do their port in making it come down from public safety august j032 mayors plowing match big international show several new classes a revised layout for the tented city and an excellent
