Boy Scouts Suggested
AS Traffic Directors
Parking Regulators

Owing to the increasing number of
accidents happening on the streets of
Lexington, especially at the intersec-
tions of important traffic corners,
where rules of the road are disregarded
and cutting of corners is being prac-
ticed, it has been suggested by a motor
list of Lexington that the city officials
employ the Boy Scouts for traffic of
ficers on Saturdays and other days of
special occasions.
These Scouts will serve as directors
Of travel, and will wear badges of
Identification asserting their authority,
and take note of all drivers that do not
conform to the regulations of safe driv-
ing. Their list will be handed the city
officials for either a reprimand or fine
as they may see fit to impose, upon
the traffic violators.
This suggestions has been made at
the city offices, according to the motor
list responsible for the idea advanced.
and if the city decides to act upon the
suggestion, it would prove itself worthy
as it has in other places. The matter
of parking automobiles properly could
also be included under the jurisdiction
of the Boy Scouts, and avoid any traf-
flc congestion in the business areas. con-
cluded the party.

Sportsmanship
By Clair Johnson

What is craftsmanship?
1t is the ability to be a good loser
md a graceful winner. In order to
,e a real sportsman we must be fair
nd generous.
To the individual craftsmanship is
rcntally rebuilding. I'VE cannot be
oasidered so extensively if we do
lot have a good recommendation.
lis can be accomplished by real
craftsmanship.
The craftsmanship which oul
.hool develops reflects directly upon
he community by producing men and
women that are here to win.
Teams engaged in any line of ath-
tics who desire a better standing
lust carry their spirit Of good sport
manship. In order that they can be
reated right, they must also trea'
hers hat way.
The opposing team should be con
idered as guests, not foes. Victor.

cam that aims to play a good game
esires its adversaries to hav

A real sportsman does not give an.
PERSONAL remarks, but continual,
