Keep Away From SkoMh hogan

There have been rumors during the
past summer to the effect that people
had been warned by items in one or
more auto journals Keep Away From
Skowhegan. Although persistent
search has been made no such item
has been found. At last, however,
diligence has been rewarded by bring
ing to light the following from mid
summer number of The Automobiles;
Tourists should be cautions in
driving through SkoWhegan. A
traffic officer is enforcing the
laws with unsual diligence. TWEEN
ty arrests have been made there
in one day. DO not drive over
twenty miles IN hour.
If this is the worst Warming" that
has been issued we may take pride in
ii rather than suffering a sense Of hui
initiation. The inference is. of course,
that our ira file officer was needless
~ severe, but it appears that, in the
Judgment of the author of the item. it
was safe to exceed the speed limit us
miles an hour il twenty miles was
not exceeded. This advice would not
seem to indicate that we were so. aw-
full fussy after all.
AZ a matter of fact the problem of
traffic regulation is new to us all and
4 somewhat difficult one to handle. All
admit that the fifteen mile limit is a
reasonable one and that it should be
enforced. assuming of course that a
traffic officer does so with the same
judgment that has to he applied in all
relations of life The limit in passing
street intersections is eight miles an
hour. If all who had broken the
eight mile limit and the fifteen mile
limit were now in jail We should GER
tainly have to provide moro Commod
ious quarters for their accommoda
ton. All should drive carefully with
the intent to obey the law within sen
sible limits. If we happen to he sin
gled out for arrest we should cheer
fully pay the very moderate fine and
costs and praise rather than blame the
officer for having thus far done his
duty.
1t is some satisfaction at least to
recall that while there have been col
lisions in the streets and highways of
SkowheEan during the past year there
has been no loss of life and SO far as
we now recall. no personal injury
however slight. good record and one
which We can help to repeat another
summer by being thoughtful and oh
servant and especially by aiding and
encouraging the traffic officers with
praise rather than confusing them
with criticism
