The other day we saw an interepting article by a student of politieal history who proclaimed that the biggest defect in the American political structure was the method of selecting presidents. He believed that the mammoth political conventions represented politicians; not the people as,-a-whole.

Between now and December 31, 1946, 1500 persons will be killed in automobile accidents in California. A proportion of this number may well be our neighbors.”’ Such were the opening statements of Captain Joseph Blake of the California Highway Patrol in a plea for co-operation before the Grass Valley Chamiber of Commerce at their noon luncheon at the Bret Harte Inn yesterday. “The Highway Patrol is working around the clock to hekp correct the situation, but public education and co-operation must be manifested at once to stop the ever increasing traffic accident totals,’ said Captain Blake, who for 23 years has been a member ofthe State Highway Patrol. > It is the puwhlic that is paying both directly in family of. income taxation tragedy and loss and indirectly through for charitable hospital cases and a mounting insurance rate. Since the end of the war the president of the United States has mate public appeal to stop this carnage of the highways.

Other port at committees made their reyesterday’s meeting which included the arrangements for Christmas decoration and the annual Christmas party. The perpetual question of store closing made its annual. appearance and opinions were expressed as to the feasibility o a uniform opening and closing time. The hgurs of 9 till 5:30 met with considerable approval but action was tabled pending a more representative poll of merchants. Many thought it would be better to wait until January first before any change should be: made. Action on the local hospital situation will probably take place in the near future when interested parties will meet with hospital owners in an effort to work out ‘a program: wherein existing and potential hospital facilities will be ‘used before new construction plans are thought of. Dr. Daniel Hirseh received the
commendation of the chamber and a round of applause from the members present for his excellent work with the Grass Valley football team during the past successful season.
