TOO FAR, TOO FAST, TOO LONG!
Overshadowed only by the war news, the black headlines that leaped at the American public last Monday morning
told again the ghastly story of another holiday week end of
traffic death and injury. 5
Unlike the war bulletins: which were read eagerly, the
auto casualty list was scanned with jaundiced eye by readers
whose interest in auto smashups has been dulled by constant
repetition.
Highway safety is in danger of becoming much like
Mark Twain's descrintion of the weather, something about
which every one talks a great deal but which noboby ever
does anything about. Some really effective formula that will
get people interested in protecting themselves and others on
‘the highway is yet to be devised.
. Studies by the State Department of Motor Vehicles of
Noliday accidents provide the material fer some cogent con-;
clusions. One of these is that most people Co bak holiday
motor trips try to go entirely too far for the time at their dispsal and. as a consequence, are compelled to drive entirely too
fast and for entirely too many hours without resting.
Holiday trips to be enjoyable should be leisurely. The
driver who is forced to drive in excess of 200 or 300 miles per
day cannot see much of the country through which he passes
and loses much of the fun of his trip. Yet thousands of Americans with a few days at their disposal plan trips requiring them
to drive twice that distance daily.
Journ-vs so planned mean traveling at speeds often dangerous and for long hours. They often mean traveling far into the night when most of the accidents are known to occur.
Motorists should avoid biting off more than they can
safely chew. Take it easy! It’s better than being a Page . statistic Monday morning!
WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT
Stunned diplomats. who at first had the wind knocked
out of them when Hitler did his sudden about-face and march‘ed against Red Russia, are now starting to recover their customary poise and dexterity. Each, after his own fashion, is
scrambling to take full advantage of Hitler’s treachery, for international diplomacy is a business of hard boiled realism. And

»-war, like politics, often makes strange bedfellows.
We, in the United States, have undoubtedly viewed the
situation with mixed emotions. For embattled Britain's sake,
we are glad that she has a breathing spell—and we hope with
all our hearts that it will give this country the necessary time
to come to her rescue with the materials of war which she sorely needs. We may even let down the bars to some extent to
aid Red Russia while she is diverting the energies of Hitler's
legions.
But whatever we do. let’s be realists about it. When
thieves fall out, honest folks sometimes are the gainer. Let's
not lose sight of the fact. however, that both Nazi Germany
and Red Russia are enemies of our way of life; both have
sought to undermine the United States of America and have
kept paid agitators and saboteurs here for that purpose. Both
would rule the world by might, with no regard for right. Both’
are criminals among nations—and the best we can hope for is
that they destroy each other, as they have sought to destroy
others.
As between Hitler and Stalin, we may prefer, at the
moment. that Stalin should win, for Hitler is the more dangerous. But let’s waste no tears over either; arid let’s not fall
for the »ropaganda either. Let’s just try.to take full advantage of their gunman’s quarrel, so that Britain will be fully
armed,’and we will be fully prepared when the Battle of Russia has ended.—Contributed.SLOW DOWN FOR CHILDREN
With schools closed for the summer vacation. there are
more youngsters on the streets, more cars on the highways—
and many more hazards to aggravate the safety problem. Motorists must double and redouble their vigilance, if we are to
escape a constant succession of ghastly tragedies during the
vacation period. Children, of course, must be cautioned by
their parents and playground supervisors to ‘‘play safe’ and
use care in crossing streets, but the big responsibility must
still rest with men and women behind the wheel.
Here are a few practical “‘don'ts’’ for summer drivers.
Don't speed through intersections, no matter how much
you need to get where you're going. It’s better to miss a train
than kill a child!
Don't drive too close to parked cars. Boys and girls still
dash out from behind parked cars, even though they've been
warned against it. ;
Don't back out of your driveway without looking. Your
own child, or a neighbor's may die if you're negligent.
Don't assume,when driving in town, that all the youngsters have gone to the country. And don't take it for granted,
when up at your favorite resort, that only adults take a holiday. es
Don’t drive with faulty brakes. Don’t speed past playgrounds. Don’t indulge the idea that all children go in at sundown, because they, don’t. Most of all, just don’t get careless.
Slow down, this summer, for children.—Contributed. .

FOR SALE — 1940 Dddge Deluxe I wonder when . hear folk say
That Hitler’s sure to win,
He's fighting with a broken lance
Who arms himself with sin:
And though at times he seems supreme
His is a short lived span,
For retribution stalks his trail
Of this most evil man. _
I wonder how anyone can eyen suggest that the final victory will be Hitler's. No despot was ever faced with such stupendous odds as now confronts this would-be world conqueror, and it cannot be doubted that the same catastrophe which
overwhelmed others of his ilk, will soon fall heavily upon him.
What is he fighting against? Many nations and peoples,
all humanity, in fact, all the humanities. He is fighting all the
forces of law and order, all the established ideals of liberty and
justice, against all moral influences and all religious principles.
He is fighting Christianity, Buddahism, Mohammedism, all
Jewery and the philosophy of Confucius; in reality, against
all the great teachings of religion, and moral philosophy, the
truths they enunciated and the honor they proclaimed.
Hitler is fighting against the spirit of liberty which is actively alive in the nations he has wantonly subdued. Enchained
and crushed beneath the iron heel of a ruthless destroyer, it
lives and plots his overthrow. Behind him is a seething flame
of hatred which he himself has enkindled;' who can doubt that
it will finally become a holocaust and envelop, destroy him?
He dare not recall his armies of occupation from any territory he has enslaved, he dare not go as a visitor to any one
of these afflicted nations. He cannot trust his lieutenants or
his. unscrupluous partners in crime. He lives as did Napoleon
in constant fear of bodily harm and those closest to him are
the obiect of his suspicion.
' The time may come when the pirates will meet at Brenner Pass or in the bat tower at Berchtesgaden for the purpose
of dividing their ill gotten gains; there will then be a falling
out between them and when thieves fall out, men and nations
will come. again into their own.
Hitler and his evil regime are passing. The world has
known his kind before, we hope it never will again. His weapons are more powerful, but his motives areas old‘as time itself, his principles even more corrupt. ' He and his indecent
conceptions of life and life’s responsibilities, must be overthrown and the man who presumes to say that he will not be,
is, to say the least, misguided.
An avalanche of dirt and mud, rolling rocks and. water
crashed down a hillside to completely cover and obstruct a
peaceful thoroughfare. It carried all that was lovely and orderly before it, spring flowers, trees, and shrubs, even helpless
animals which were in its evil wake. The road was impassable
after the catastrophe, traffic was distrupted, everything seemed: chaotic. but soon the road had been cleared of all unsightly
