The Higbland Park Press Entered as Second Class matter March 1, 1911, at the office at Highland Published weekly by The Udell Printing Co. at Highland Park, Lake County, IIlinois An authority on traffic problems says: "Every traffic accident is a symptom of something wrong. Something wrong with the driver, the pedestrian, the street or highway, the control system, the vehicle, the ordinance, the police department, or the community. In cities, twoâ€"thirds of the victims of fatal motor vehicle accidents are pedestrians. Our greatest problem is to define clearly the proper use of streets by vehicles and by pedestrians and the obligations of each of the other." He urges "an organized campaign of ostracism of the motorist who endangers self and every one through nonobservance of trafâ€" fic signals, boulevard stop signs and the like, and who is generally the same fellow that pulls across the crosswalk, makes elderly peoâ€" ple jump out of his way, splashes mud on pedestrians and generally behaves himself like a hog." â€" c _ He éay:;publicr officials promote violation of traffic signals, when they put signals "at places where t:hg.yiare not needed, run them at times when they are not needed or run them on too long a cycle." False economy in building homes, office buildings, stores and factories often leads to useless fire waste. A few more dollars invested in better building methods, would often check the spread of flames, making it possible to keep a fire under control until the fire department arrived. _ o â€" ‘"When a man is building a home and the architect draws his plans according to all the standards of fire protection, should the owner wish to reduce the cost as shown by the estimate, the first things to be eliminated are too often the factors of safety," says Warren Ellis of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. "A cedarâ€"lined closet seems far more important than the fact that their stairway is unenclosed, that fire stops within the walls have been eliminated or that their chimney has a flue which is not absolutely safe. If it means elimination of a breakfast nook to get a fireâ€"resistive roof, they much prefer to get along without the safe roof. This is false economy. â€" "False economy is a habit of the American people when it comes to constructing fireâ€"resistive buildings and a campaign against this attitude should show results in the first generation. We can just as readily acquire the habit of desiring fireâ€"safe buildâ€" ings as of being willing to take chances." THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1928 Mr. and Mrs. Elmer E.
