The men had driven to Plato Center on Saturday night to visit a friend on a farm near there and were enroute home when the accident happened. Indications were that the car was being driven at a fast speed and that Thompson, who was driving, either failed to see the train or was unable to stop his car. Thompson's widow said that he had told her that the brakes were defective. The crossing is protected by a wig-wag signal and a bell. The car crashed into the thirty-fourth car of a sixty-five car train, hitting it with force sufficient to derail the trucks. The light sedan then bounced back into a ditch. Roe's body was found about 100 feet w;est of the crossing while Thompson was pinned in the debris and was unconscious when taken to St. Joseph's hospital. Both men suffered compound fractures of both lege Thompson was conscious until he reached the hos pital while Roe was killed almost ih' stantly. Roe's skull was fractured and Thompson had a gaping wound on hi* chest and severe lacerations.

Examination at the Harvard hospital revealed that O'Leary had suffered a broken neck and was paralysed below the shoulders. In addition he had received numerous cuts and bruises about the head. Shirley Bennett, six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bennett of route 1, Zion, was at St. Therese hospital Friday of last week receiving care after the removal of her right eye. Shirley was with her two brothers about 3 pm. as the boys were cutting grass with a sickle. The sickle slipped and struck the little girl in her right eye, destroying sight and making it necessary for a surgeon to remftve it. Mr. and Mrs. Timm of West Crystal Lake avenue are the parents of a 7 V& pound daughter, born Friday morning of last week at the Sherrtf&n hospital, Elgin. This is the largest family in Crystal Lake, this being Mr. and Mrs. Timm's fifteenth child. One man was drowned and three companions narrowly escaped a similar fate Sunday of last week at Long Like, when the motorboat in which the four were riding turned over as it was making a sharp turn. Thomas Moore, 30 years old, o^ Aurora, was the man drowned in the tragedy. He lost his life while attempting to aid his three companions. Believed to be a better swimmer than his friends, Moore at once went to their aid, but became exhausted snd sank in the water. His body was recovered several hours later 1>y volunteerv rescuers of the neighborhood. When "Dunny" Anderson? oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Corliss Anderson of Hillside avenue, Barrington, fell from a tire swing last week Sunday morning, landing on his head, the family was worried. And when he developed a high fever that evening, the situation deemed even worse. Dunny was rushed to the Highland Park hospital and his head x-rayed. Study of the plate revealed no injury to the bone but a complete physical examination indicated the beginning of measles. Now Dunny .and his parents are in the peculiar predicament of actually welcoming measles. a kind of instinct which prevents him from committing himself." Perhaps the fain o u • French w r i t e r s p o k e more truly than ho thought, for these words are not only descriptive of cliplomatic technique, but they are also prophetic, in that they reflect the doom of all who fail to realize the limitations of neutrality. Under certain circumstances a person may hold a neutral attitude toward an important issue, if he lacks sufficient information requisite for an intelligent opinion. There are, however, many issues which confront us from time to time, where the neutral attitude is impossible. The voice of a minority may not express the popular point of view, but if the minority is entitled to be heard, we cannot sidestep the issue by an attitude of silence. Our absence from a conference when a vote on an important issue is to be taken and we wish to hold a neutral attitude, is atyariHy in the extreme. Any person 'wfaio tries to "carry water on both shoulders" soon discovers the utter futility of such an adventure. We are willing to go a long way with a person with whom we may disagree, if we are confident of the sincerity of that person in his opinions. We dislike a person who does not have the courage to express his opinions. We are living In an age that demands serioas consideration of the limitations of neutrality. How far can we remain neutral and stIU maintain our moral Integrity? What are some of the important limitations of neutrality? It is impossible to be neutral toward one's right of franchise. The privilege of sharing in the responsibility of government is one that cannot be ignored. Unscrupulous politicians take advantage of the element of indifference, especially at primary elections. To express no opinion publicly in a vote on critical issues is not only un-American, but criminal. "I don't care" is an act of neutrality which even the most generous minded would find difficult to forgive. Punishment should be meted out to those who evade civic responsibilty as well as to those who flagrantly violate its laws. It is impossible to be neutral in our attitude toward truth. The greatest enemy of truth is the one who is indifferent to its appeal. Crime continues largely because those who could control it are silent and inactive. "Neutral men are the devil's allies." Emerson wrote, "The greatest homage we can pay to truth is to use it . . . Every violation of truth is a stab at the health of human society." To withhold the truth- may be a worse, de^' ceptive than a direct statement. It is impossible to be neutral toward human suffering. We are so knit together in our complex social life that when one group suffers, the rest suffer also. If I show a neutral attitude toward my neighbor's misfortune, that attitude undermines my character. Only aarwe share with another our sympathy and help have we the privilege and happiness of friendship.
