The truck is owned by one o f t h e l a r g e oil companies in O h i o , and t h e driver has been instructed to turn to the right the. moment he hears the horn of an approaching car. "The road is yours." One seldom sees a finer expression courtesy. Courtesy seems sadly ' Jacking on many of the highways we travel: A;driver wi^l frequently park "in a position that leaves little or no foom for the car in the front or the tear to move out. "Just so I have •rbonV is the common practice: Con-, '^deration for the safety of the pub- : li£ is of little concern, so long as :oine keeps within the law. Scores .of automobile accidents can be attributed to lack of courtesy which ' is simply a lack of respectful consideration of others. More courtesy ion our highways will mean less accidents. "Be courteous" is a food motto to hang on the dash board of every car. Courtesy may express itself in respectful consideration of others, no matter what the surroundings may be. In one large store in a prosperous section of a certain city the men remove their hats in the elevator when ladies are present. Ir. another store less favorably located in the same city, the removal o. hats is tabooed. Why this dis- ! crimination? Is not a lady always a Jadv regardless of the particular ' ^levator in which she rides? The principle of courtesy should hold true and prompt a man to rise when a lady enters the room, whether the room be palatial or humble. Is courtesy dependent upon prosperity or poverty for its expression? -if* Automobile A CHANCE MEETING November 2, 1986. . Back in the fall of 1880 a photr« prrapher, t>f the old wet plate day*, worked out of Waukesran. He had for equipment, a camera, a preen waeon with a box on. it that resembled a larpe-sized dog kennel; pictures of farm families' were his specialty. He sensitized the jrlass photographic plates with collodion 'and silver, a careful delicate process. One day he met a yoUng fellow by the name of Will Bonslett and the following conversation ensued: "Hello there, stranger." ^ "Hello." . "Nice country around here.; Bhw y«u a photographer in your town of McHenry?" L - "No, we have not," answered Will. : And that is how the Bennetts came to this city. Just a chance meeting. Get the idea? That is the reason si many photographs of the old days bear the name of L. E. Benriett. La$t week we had a letter from our old townsgirlv Clara Wright Colby, now in California. A joyful letter to those of us who remember. This evening Wally "Chize" Woodburn called on the "writer and we had another of those joyful evenings of reminiscence. My jaws still ache, Harry, from laughing over the oldtime anecdotes. What would you give for that youthful body of forty years ago, Asahel Stevens? The Woodburns and Bennetts seemed to follow each other here and yon over the town. I cannot recall another such hell-raising harmless youngster a* "Chize." "Stretcher," old boy, Chize revived the Overockers,--"Mary Ann," "Willie Ann," "Tommy Ann" and Elddie Ann." Chize said, "Do you remember why we called them "Ann" and I told him sure, "It came from the immortal poem, 'I wish the man who first "big Ann" to scribble in this place, etc.' " , "That's it! Thats it," he said. And do you remember this and do you remember that? How much of the courtesy in our , As I said, the Woodburris seemed to daily contacts is real; how wnuch be our neighbors all over town and we is artificial and conventional?

The gift of the Statue of Liberty by France was an act of sublime courtesy. The same • element was entirely forsaken when tiations fought with nations in the - last great war. Let us have more of the kindly spirit of courtesy in : pur international relationships. Courtesy is not dependent upon education or inherited culture. It Is '• matter of self-diseipline and in- : bate development. A ditch digger may be a gentleman, if he has a genuine respect for personality. ."Every inch a gentleman." A fine compliment earned not at a cost of money but by a persistent attitude of mind that listens when another speaks and remains calm when that speech is not the echo of his own mind. Courtesy is something more than an expression of conventional good manners. It is the outward expression of the soul within.

A letter like we received from Clara Wright perks us up a whole lot. We saw good old "Plum" Wright the other day, Clara, and he is going strong. My sister, Clara, whom I saw in Racine today, asked me if I remembered Clara Wright. I said, "not to visualize." She said, "I do, why, Clara Wright was tall and graceful and lithe. She had the spring of a panther and could bend back and touch her head to the floor. A very nice girl and school friend." Is that right Clara Wright Colby? AnsWer us yes or no and remember, you are under oath. Clara Bennett Sorenson lives in Racine and she is still embodied with the spirit of youth. She made a crack this morning that is a sample of her philosophy. Here it is in print, so it must be so: "It doesnt' take much puff up to puff up a person, who can be puffed up by puff up." What do you think of that? She could have spent years writing a best seller and couldn't have said as much, j We would like to hear frontf more of ! our members and soon, lest our page be terminated.

The aim of these courses is to cut out the phrase "helpless bystander" when accidents are referred to. More than a million persons are thus trained to render assistance where it is needed, perhaps near your home, but many more are needed and especially needed is the help of your communitv in lowering the death rate and the list of permanently injured that we see rolled up each year.
