is HEARING ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY TO DRIVE AN AUTO9
communicated

A communication from Mrs. Edith
B. Jump, of South Milford, to the
Chronicle is interesting in that il
brings out some features of the au-
tomObile traffic problem that have
been passed upon by the Delaware
lawmakers. Mrs. Jump takes the
stand that hearing is not necessary
for the proper driving of car. The
publication of the article by the
Chronicle does not mean that this
paper agrees with the writer on the
subject. We believe that not only
should a driver of an automobile be
required to pass a stringent eXami-
nation as to his fitness, but that he
be possessed of all the facilities pro-
vided by nature. Mrs. Jumps article
follows:
During the past two weeks Mr..
and Mrs. Herbert G. Jump have had
visitors from Washington, d. c.,
Philadelphia, New York City and
Cleveland, Ohio-all coming in their
own cars and driving themselves. In
each instance these persons were to-
tally deaf and carry clear records
which goes to prove Delaware is
making a mistake in refusing a driv-
er's license to those deaf auto own
ers who wish one.
1t may be said Offhand, that if a
man is deaf and cannot hear the
warning horn behind him, he should
not be allowed to drive an automO-
bile, since his driving might endang-
er others.
To this there are several BUTTS:
In the first place, the important
thing in driving is SIGHT" When a
man is driving it is the business of
the man behind him to look after his
own car not the business of the man
ahead.
The horn is used less and less by
good drivers, except to warn those
ahead to turn out, and anyone deaf
with good eyesight can see what is
ahead and use his horn for warning
Automobiles are run at least nine
ty-nine per cent by sight-not by
hearing.
No man afflicted with deafness
would protest against a discrimina-
ton depriving him of natural
pleasure if it could be shown to be
dangerous to others.
Two years ago there was a move
ment on foot threatening the happi-
ness of about 5000 of us scattered
from coast to coast-the deaf from
birth and the deafened. This was the
movement to prohibit the freedom Of
the highways, to the deaf driving au-
tomobiles. 1t did gain headway and
is now the law in few states-Del-
aware being one.
All who have autos realize their
importance in every day life. II IS
no less important in the lives of the
5000 of us living from coast to coast.
In fact, it is MORE important. With
the pleasures of the ear shut off,
pleasure of such magnitude as auto
mobile is doubly dear.
Now this agitation to prohibit our
driving is not the result of accidents
or damage caused by the deaf-our
record is clean-but from the large
number of accidents caused by the
public at large, they have very I'M
reasonably sought to remedy IN a
totally innocent locality. 1t may not
be too far fetched to say that 1t IS
like prohibiting the use of matches
because they are a prolific cause OF
fire.
We're there any basic for viewing
orr driving with alarm we should
not complain, but the deaf socletles
have all data to prove us capaDie.
We are but a small band Of Chris
tions among the Romans.

S2nd SEMI-ANNUAL DOLLAR DAY
Wilmington Event to be Held Aug. 10

The twenty-second semi-annual
Dollar Day which will be observed
by Wilmington merchants on August
18th, promises to be the biggest ever
held Despite the fact that on last
years midsummer Dollar Day it
was necessary at times to close the
doors of the shops at times to enable
the sales persons to rearrange the
stocks, this years event has been
planned so as to meet an even lar
ger patronage. The Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce advises that
shoppers come early and avoid the
rush. The stores officially participat-
ing in the August 18th Dollar Day
will display prominently card
bearing the emblem of the Mercan-
tile Section of the Wilmington Cham
Der of Commerce.

The County Commissionership

In short time-June 10th to
be exact. the people of White
Earth and vicinity will be called
upon to cast their vote for certain
candidates for both national and
local Offices. One of the most
important of which is, at least to
the people of this immediate vicin-
ity. that of county commissioner
for this, the Fifth district. There
are six candidates in the field for
this Office, some of them are we'll
known to White Earth residents
and residents in the district men
toned, but, We are sorry to say,
the majority of the candidates
have little in common in this To-
cality and in all probability would,
if elected, favor the communities
where they reside or have financial
or other interests, and also. some
of our local candidates who have
tiled have had little or no expert
ence in matter with which the
county commissioners must deal.
Que of these candidates has proved
TO the satisfaction of ourselves and
many others that he is not in SYM
pathy with the manner in which
favors have been doled out to GER
tain communities and in the way
this community has been neglected
altogether in the past, and prom.
Uses faithfully if elected to do his
best to see that such favoritism is
stopped and all communities get
their just dues in regard to road
Improvement, etc. We refer to
Col. A. X. Torgerson of Lake
Park. Mr.. Torgerson experience
with board of county commission
ers has taught him many things
which he proposes to use to ad-
vantage if he is elected to the Office
of county commissioner, and if
White Earth and vicinity ever get
their just dues in regard to the
building and improvement of local
highways they will receive it at
the hands of Col. Torgerson. This
is matter of vital importance to
to the people of this district and it
is to their advantage to vote for
the man who, We believe, will be
able to accomplish something of
lasting benefit to the community,
and we do aot hesitate to say that,
in our opinion, Col. Torgerson is
this man:
