SURVEY OF STATE ROADS

State highway systems of the coun-

closed.
Maryland, Massachusetts, and Della

completed the paving of their entire
State highway systems. Indiana,
Ohio, Minnesota and New Jersey

association, the survey points out the
economic disadvantages of divertiug
motor vehicle tax funds to other
purposes than those of road main

It it interesting to note that the
States where the practice of divert
ing motor vehicle taxes has been
most fragrant in the past are among
those that are now behind in their
road building programs, one officer

HIGHWAY LEGISLATION

A changed attitude was noticeable
in recent state Legislation for govern
ing automobile operation.
Apparently the lessons of the past,
which have cost us thousands of
lives, have had some effect. There
is tired, not toward overly restric-
tive and hence uhenforceable laws,
but toward moderate measures.
The so-calledf model traffic ordi-
nance, which does away with stip-
ulated speed limit and substitutes
reckless driving" thereby giving
traffic officers greater leeway in
preventing recklessness, has been
adopted in number of states, and
endorsed by safety organizations.
Compulsory liability insurance laws
were conspicuous by their absence.
Even the financial responsibility
laws, by which a driver is forced to
provide evidence of his ability to pay
for damage he may cause in the
future after he has one accident, do
not seem to have received much
public support. In contrast, meas
ures designed to provide strict exam
ination for drivers, that would weed
out the incompetent and mentally
and physically unfit, received wide
attention. Many safety authorities
are of the opinion that the adoption
of such law in every state would
mark the greatest single step for
ward in automobile accident proven
ton.
All in all, we are justified in having
hope that the highway accident mem
ace is being curbed. But it should
be remembered that legislation, no
matter how wise, can only touch the
surface of the problem. The inn
portant thing is for every driver to
realize his responsibility for the lives
and property of others. When
motorists, as a body, accept that
responsibility, the highways win be
safe.

Mothers Day will be observed this
year on Sunday, May 10, and Fathers
Day on Sunday, June IA. Mothers
Day was first on the calendar with
an honorable history dating back to
the ancient English custom of visit
ing ones mother on mid-Lenten
Sunday. This day was known as
'sMothering Sunday" The custom
reappeared in America along about
1908 when special Sunday in May
was set aside as an anniversary to
honor the mothers of the country
with gifts of flowers and candy and
other tokens of affection.
Several years ago murmurs were
heard to the effect that father also
deserved recognition and a special
anniversary of his own. The result
was the establishment of Partners
Day and the custom OF sending APP
propriate gifts to Dad on that oc-
casion.
The proponents of joint celebra-
ton point out that both parents are
essential to happy home and that
they should not be divorced by sep
arate- days of honor. The opponets
insist that each is important enough
to have his own anniversary.
