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.

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. . a : ‘ing hands with them. .

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 Sedan with radio and heater, Low mileage, good rubber.
