Michigan Girls Essay
in Safety Connection

49, H~~+AOSJ $1,000 n - S~S~O -
Best essayist of more than 100000
elementary school pupils. Theodore
Poole, thirteen-year-old school girl of
Pontiac, Michigan, now residing at
Lansing, Michigan, is announced as
winner of the second national safety
essay contest conducted under the
auspices of the highway education
board.
AS a reward she receives a gold
watch and trip to Washington with
all expenses paid, awards offered at
the beginning of the contest for the
essay winning first national honors.
Her prizes are the gifts of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce.
Miss Poole's essay Is as follows:
In game each person has his part
to play. Let US think Of the task of
making a nation safe as a game in
which each has his place to fill and
his bit to do.
One might suppose we children have
very little to do with the safety of our
nation, but we are the coming genera
tion and in our time shall uphold bet
ter and safer highways.
AS in a game, there are rules to fol-
low. These things we must do
Always observe traffic before cross
ing street.
When walking on a road keep to
the left to meet on-coming vehicles.
Learn automobile signals to know
what motorist means to do.
When alighting from street car
stand until sure of safe way to the
curb.
Help those in need.
Keep close to the curb when riding
a bicycle, and give correct signals
when turning.
Thus we shall spread our safety in
terest and information.
Now come the things we must not
do, rules just as important If we are
to play the safety game.
Don't hurry Most accidents are
caused by the desire to save few sec
onds.
Never play in the streets nor dash
before moving vehicles.
Never jay-walk.
Never steal rides.
Never make blind dash across a
thoroughfare.
Never stand in the street while wait
ing for a car-you are safer on the
curb. One cannot always stand on his
rights.
A child's part in this safety game
is to keep from being tagged" by an
automobile. In the many automobile
accidents in which the driver is
bIameless, a pitifully large number Of
children are victims.
Then there are always drivers who
consider that responsibility ceases
with the footing Of the horn. Since
we stand less firmly than a telephone
pole we had better be out of their
way.
Our code is a code of honor. No
body can make us play fair. Our
schools foster athletics to encourage
clean effort. More important than or
ulndry aluleIlcS Is lHS SdlHc III WHICH
we save the sorrow of accidents and
loss of life If could feel that by
Joining this safety team / had saved
one little child, would consider my
effort better spent than If 1 had won
highest honors in athletics.
These things children can do. 1t is
because of the splendid foresight of
our elders that we are having these
things laid before us while we are Of
an age when it is easy to learn. Much
time, money. and thought are being
spent to teach us safer ways. And if
we become men and women who think
safety and act sanely we shall have a
nation of happier and safer people.

SUPPORTING CAMP GROUNDS

There is.a movement on foot to
standardiZe municipal camp
grounds throughout the state The
sentiment in favor of such a move
ment is growing. Now some cities
have excellent well-cared for
grounds and some camps are a
shame" 1t is unWise to leave the
care of the grounds to any hit
and-miss organization no matter
how benevolent it may be. Nothing
advertises a town SO much as It's
camp ground. No one organization,
not even the city. should be asked
to support their grounds free OF
charge. Free service is apt to de-
generate into poor service, no mat
ter how well-intentioned an organ
ization may be, nor how well it
startE out. The only wise solu-
tion is to charge small admis-
sion fee and have good man al
ways on the job to care for the
grounds under the direction OF the
city council or of the Commercial
Club or Chamber Of Commerce.
The benefit the tourists get
from a well-cared for grounds with
proper conveniences is worth more
to the tourist Than the inconven-
fences and insanitary conditions
of many camps. The usual tour
ist will pay the admission fee, per-
haps with reluctance, but go away
praising that town while he will
take free service without any gra-
'tit,1de and go, off "cussing" the
town with the poorer and unpaid
service. Not only does the camp
need care from a. sanitary stand
point but camps need policing also.
A town after providing camp.
without initial cost to the travel
ors, is under no obligations to sup
port the camp without expense to
1.-The tourist. He is often better
able to pay than the people who
provide the money for its uptkeep.
Tourists are not beggars and are
willing to pay for real privileges.

day through Bruce Lampson, man
ager of the Colorado Wheat
Growers association.

of series during three-day tour

tion has become a national ques-
tion,v he said. Economists say
that the cooperative plan is the
only one through which the farm
er can asure himself of fair prices
at all times"
Two objects are aimed for by the
Wheat Growers. Mr. Lampson ex-
planned THE first of these is the
orderly marketing of grain when
and where the market can absorb
it, as opposed to the present pol.
icy of dumping giain and flooding
the market. The association mar
kets for it's members approximate
~ onetweifth of the pooled wheat
each month Of the year, and the
member receives the average price
that his grade and quality brings
Turing the entire year.
THE principal object OF this and
other cooperative associations. how
ever, is the control of price This
can be accomplished when the as.
sociation controls at least 65 per
;ent of the wheat grown in Amer
lea. A move is now under way to
reach this goal before July !, next.
