PG. 6, SEC. 2 - PLAIN DEALER - JUNE 29, 1967 Driver Reaps Reward "The driver who breaks every rule of the road may very well reap just about what he sowed." This message is contained in a highway accident booklet, which reports 52,500 deaths and 4,400,000 injuries last year. Statistics in the booklet were compiled from reports by state motor vehicle departments. Excessive speed is blamed for more than 41 percent of the highway deaths in 1966. It is the largest single factor in all fatal accidents resulting from driver error. Other major factors involving actions of drivers resulting in deaths and injuries include driving on the wrong side of the road, reckless driving and not having the right-of-way. Drivers in 1966 were blamed for more than 80 percent of all fatal accidents while pedestrians, or a combination of pedestrian and driver, were found at fault in the remaining 20percent. To help prevent accidents, drivers must update driving skills by taking a driver refresher course; practice 'defensive driving*; limit driving when tired; adjust speed to highway, weather, traffic and other conditions; and don't drive while under the influence of alcohol. They should also support better law enforcement, highway improvement, and improved driver licensing. A good, start on careful driving might very well be made over the holiday weekend. Newspaper In Community The relationship of community prosperity to the local newspaper cannot be precisely measured. There is evidence of a close relationship. A progressive community is likely to have a vigorous local newspaper. A good newspaper is not likely to be found in a fading town. Of course, the question of cause and effect may be mutual. Certainly, in some cases, a good newspaper simply results from its location in a city which is blessed with uncommon sources of prosperity. However, there are perhaps as many cases where the leadership of the local newspaper and its advertisers have given new life to depressed communities. No newspaper publisher pretends that his paper, actingalone, has changed the face of a community. He does not claim that he even publish a good newspaper by himself. The publisher offers a vehicle for community action and unification of effort. The community itself determines how well a newspaper serves. The newspaper serves as a builder of a trading center only to the extent that local merchants recognize that a lively market is built with vigorous advertising. The newspaper serves as a builder of cultural institutions only when readers are interested in the quality of the community. The newspaper serves as a leader in industrial and agricultural development only to the extent that other community leaders share the responsibility. A good newspaper can help to make a better community, and a better community inevitably builds a better newspaper. Was It Sudden? Jerry Marcus t "I'm dmad Hni Wish I cwM stratdi ovt for a white."

For they have been spreading a false notion that violates what our Founding Fathers intended and even denies Christ's comment about poverty! Be sure your kiddies fully understand this Case Record today. Quote it widely at patriotic meetings. By - George W. Crane, Ph. d., m. d. Case C-586: How would you answer the following true-false problem: T. F. Every American is entitled to happiness! Encircle the letter "T" if you believe the statement is true, or the "F" if you consider it false. Before I tell you the correct judgment, let me remind you of the viewpoint which our Founding Fathers wrote into our famous Declaration of Independence. Therein they said that we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these rights, they stated, "are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Please notice that they definitely did not say we are entitled to "Happiness** bit merely to the "Pursuit of Happiness." There's a whale of a difference! Alas, many welfare bureaucrats have failed to make this vital distinction. So they have foisted on the public the false idea that everybody in this land is entitled to happiness, merely because he is an American citizen. That is positively false. All we are entitled to is a. chance to "pursue" happiness, as by hard work, honesty, thrift, elbow grease and burning the midnight Mazda. If we finally catch up to hapiness, then and only then are we entitled to it. If, however, we are too lazy, shiftless, ignorant and improvident to pursue happiness successfully, then we are entitled to poverty, misery and even ill health! That may shock many of the political do-gooders! But it is the exact conclusion which our Founding Fathers advocated. There are always going to be lazy folks, shiftless and improvident. The Foolish Virgins demonstated that fact in Bible times. And Jesus said, "The poor ye have with you always." (Mark 14:7) Happiness is thus not to be guaranteed us by a welfare state nor served on a political platter as mere vote-buying malarky! "God helps those who help themselves," is the pioneer recipe that made this nation the torchbearer of civilization. Woodrow Wilson phrased it neatly when he said: "All any American should desire is a free field and no tovors." Wilson's "free field" means our "free enterprise" system in which everbody is free to use his energy and elbow grease to "pursue" happiness. ft is high time to puncture the false doctrines that have begun to say the pristine vigor of Uncle Sam. We must again teach our youngsters that no American is entitled to happiness! The Declaration of Independence says so! ic All we are entitled to is a chance to "pursue" happiness.

(Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed, envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) by Paul Powell Secretary of State BY THE OLD TIMER From Mrs. Fred Yana. Thawville, Illinois: 1 remember the excitement of the "good old days when cooking for threshers was a do-it-vourself" job. lVrhaps about the middle of the afternoon the old steam engine would slow-, ly puff up the lane announcing the fact that we could expect around twenty-five or thirty men for supper. Three machine-men would stay over night and be there for breakfast the next morning. Following the evening meal, and after the dishes were washed and the house in order, my mother would start her bread for the next day. When at last she did get to bed, the alarm must be set two or three different times to be certain the bread was baked in time to have the oven of the big old coal range for those delicious pies, and in turn have ample time for the huge roast. A trip to the ice-house the night before, with old Dobbin hitched to the single buggy, had produced a large cake of ice, around which yellow rolls of sweet, fresh home-churned butter were kept firm. Large stone jars of iced tea were greatly appreciated by the hot, tired, hungry men. I also remember, in spite of all we could do, how the flies would collect on the screen-door, waiting for their chance to join in the race for the table ladened with the appetizing food. How times have changed! (Send contributions to thi» column to Hit Old Timer, toa 639, Frankfort, Kentucky 40601.) PUT SAFETY ON VACATION . Tnke safety along with you on your vacation this year.
