Courtesy

One Of our readers in a letter complains of
the scant attention which boys and girls on roller
skates pay to pedestrians. She says boys and
girls monopoize the sidewalk, forcing pedes-
TRANS to use the parking strip to avoid being
run down or bumped.
Few boys and girls would willingly and pur-
posey force pedestrian to get off the sidewalk
to prevent an accident. They are thoughtless
and so full of life that often they. overlook the
rights of others.
The complaint, however, should be needed by
the boys and girls who enjoy roller skating on
the sidewalks. 1t is unfair and impolite to crowd
a pedestrian off the sidewalk Courtesy sug-
gests that skaters coast by pedestrians, instead
Of skating by with arms and legs swinging so
wildly that aged peron woman leading a
little child must seek safety the parking strip.

Why We May be Thankful

Mankind is prone to exaggerate the trials and
tribulations under which it is sufferings, is if
they were something new in the history of race
and were much greater than those which others
have endured
Some feel discouraged in the present period
of depression, believing that it is the worst the
country ever has experienced. If your are
gloomy about conditions here, why not look to-
ward Poland and Central Europe?
Are we not infinitely better off than the mil
lions who are out of work and have been starving
for many months? Does grim misery stalk
through our land as it does in those war devas-
tated countries? Isn't the average American far
removed from the pitiful status of the average
citizen of those lands?
By comparison with other countries of the
world, we have reason to be devontly thankful.
We have food in abundance. Many European
countries have no supplies and dependent
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-02-21

upon imports from more favorably situated ma
tions. The breakdown of transportation prevents
the delivery of foodstuffs to interior points,
where thousands are starving to death.
We might profit nightly when next we are
complaining about our plight to consider the suf-
ferng of other people. Then we will be forced to
admit that we are still in a blessed land.
Usually thereIs some one who is worse off
than we are. Usually the man who complains is
the one who is least in need of sympathy and
help.
