It's The Driver Who's Unsafe

If there were any indication, anywhere, that the American motorist was begin ming to learn how to drive in safety, the figures on traffic fatalities would not be so discouraging. We could say, in that case, that the long list of deaths came simply because the auto still was rela- lively new bit of machinery, and that things would work themselves out, once everybody got the hang of it.
 But we cant say that. An elaborate analysis of 1883 auto accidents, issued recently by the Travellers Insurance Con- pany, shows that our driving is getting worse instead of better Far from learn ing how to handle our cars in safety, we are making worse record now than SIX years ago. Look at the figures In 1927 there were 23,200,000 autos in use in the United States. In 1883 the number was 23,8O0,000 - an increase of only 2.6 per cent. In 1927 auto accidents killed 25,533 people; in 1883 they killed 29,900-whlch is rise of IF per cent.
 These figures can mean only one thing: That we actually are driving with less care today than we were six years ago Far from learning how to handle these new machines, we are getting worse. Fa- talities are increasing at faster rate than auto registrations. This belief IS borne out when the factors involved III the accidents are examined. It is re- vealed, for instance, that nearly 33 per cent of the 29,900 people killed in 1855 died in accidents in which drivers were exceeding the speed limit. Eighteen per cent of the deaths came when drivers went off the road Thirteen per cent were caused by vehicles being on the wrong side of the road; an equal per centage came from some drivers failure to give the right of way to vehicle entitled to it.
 Those figures are> utterly damnlng: They prove, as clearly as any black and white tabuation could prove, that our auto death toll is going up because of criminal careessness and selfishness on the part of the drivers. Number of cars in use is only slightly higher than 1t was six years ago. The cars themselves are far safer; they are solder, their brakes are better, they stick to the road better, they are easier to keep under control. 1t is the human element. and 1t alone. which has failed.
 What are we going tO do? Ii would be horribly expensive t0 increase the nuns hAr of city and rural traffic police five

The Same In Both Parties

Right at the moment there is similar ity about the political status of both the major parties in this state. There seems to be bid for leadership. It is even more pronounced in republican circles than IT democratic. That is due solely to the fact that Governor Wilbur l.. Cross is still tltu- lar head of the democrats and will continue to be that, we confidently expect. There are number of asprants, though, who seek to place behind him united democ- racy. We could mention several names, but there's really no need to do that
 It's in the republican circles that the fur is flying. It's over the gubernatorial nom- ination. It's not a question of who wants it, but who'll get it. There are any number of aspirants and judging by all that has been said and written recently the political ambitions of each contestant is tied up with those of somebody anxious to inherit the shoes of J. Henry Roraback, g. o. p. state chairman. Offhand we'd say the nom- ination would go to Governor RoysC. Wilcox of Meriden. But he has. his opponents, right in his own party.
 And there's precedent to put somebody else in ahead of the lieutenant-governor. It happened two years ago when former Governor John Trumbull was called back to the ring to run against Governor Cross. Samuel R. Spencer might have expected the nomination but he didn't get 1t. With a well-defned boom now afoot for former Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins R. Stoeckel, not to mention States Attor- ney Hugh M. Acorn, it'll be quite task for the g. 0. D. delegates to pick their man. Much more so than the democrats We're convinced right now that the choice will be Governor Cross.
 In this respect the democrats are off to 2, flying start Their state ticket headed by Cross has distinct advantage over any set up by the republicans. We make this state ment despite the fact that there are nut terings over the liquor control act. What should be the greatest concern of the dem- ocrats right now is to increase their su- premacy in the state. There is the slight matter of maintaining control of the Sen ate, not to mention other state offices that should go to the party that manages to elect the head of the ticket. And there's also the task of increasing democratic rep resentation in Congress, House and Senate both. We mustn't overlook these pertinent facts.

Feeding the Birds

For perhaps the first time recourse has been had to the air lanes to bring food to starving wildfowl in this state Late last week, Supt Arthur L. Clark of the State Board of Fisheries and Game went aloft for trip down the Connecticut river and along the shore during which specially prepared bags of meal and grit were to be dropped at advantageous points where wildfowl are accustomed to feed. Yester days snow storm doubtless will cause the act of mercy to be repeated within day or two.
 Every means possible ais being talk en by Connecticut authorities to prevent thousands of birds starving to death The cold weather has already taken it's toll of native wildfowl that winter in our wa ters. The recent blizzards prevented them obtaining any food at all. CCC camps have been detailing men to carry grain into remote sections of the state to be scattered for feeding purposes. Every available game warden has also been pressed into service carting feed.
 It was last year that the federal govern ment gave permission for rural free de- livery carriers to cart food along their routes to be distributed for the birds. However, that supply was not intended solely for wild-fow but for any species of feathered creature. The song birds have fared no better than game birds during the snow season. In fact they have. probably fared a little worse. Most householders try to provide food and shelter during the winter for birds. Oftentimes such food is scattered with little thought of protection. Birds are an easy prey for cats and other predators., Feed them, but also give them the needed protection.

HISTORY

The new turnpike company, known as the Waterbury River Turnpike company made allowance for four turnpikes or gates for the. collection of toll, as follows: one in Colebrook, one in Torrington, lat the bridge places across Wa terbury river by Samuel Reynolds house in Plymouth" and fourth somewhere near the house of Jared Byington, Esq. The point men, toned above by Samuel Reynolds house explains the naming of what was and is still known as Rey- holds Bridge just below Thomas ton.
 The fares for the four turn bikes were four cents for a person or horse, and for Q chaise with one horse and passengers twelve and one-half cents. An animal alone could not be taken over toll bridge unless of1e-half a cent fee was received. Twenty-Five cents was charged for pleasure coach or stage coach. There were, of course, exceptions. If a man was going to church, to a so- ciety meeting or a funeral, ito a town or freeman's meeting, or to a gristmill, to military duty, or if he lived within two miles of the gate and went not more than two miles beyond it on his farming business. he paid no toll. During the years that followed other gates were allowed.

Washington, Feb. 2S-Despite General Hugh Johnson's objec- tions, the house labor commit tee plans reporting out a 30- hour work week bill.
 Massachusetts, wiry little chairman of the committee, Will liam P. Connery, Jr,' one-time vaudeville hoofer, has set his heart on forcing a record vote in the house. Last year the sem ate passed the Black 30-hour bill, and Connery was all set to put it through the house, when the national industrial recovery act was substituted in its place.
 COnnery supported the MIRA, but he has never abandoned his first love, the flat 3O-hOur work week proposal. A strong trade unionist, he is convinced that Legislation of this nature, with supplementary safeguards for wage protection. will do more to reduce unemployment rolls than all the codes that can be devised.
 Secretary Perkins, Relief Ad- ministrator Harry Hopkins and the A. F. of l.. are for the shorter work week. Johnson is- not opposed to the principle, but does not believe 1t can be achiev- ed by legislation. He contends at present that industry cannot bear the burden of additional labor costs necessitated by a reduced work week-unless there is sic multaneous wage reduction. He favors tackling the problem through the code route, has al- ready set the machinery in mo- ton for general levelling off Of

David Livingstone, the famous Afrl- can explorer, will shortly be honored by bronze statue to be erected in Victoria Falls park, Southern Rhodesia. So re- cent news item reads. How many people of this generation know really anything about Livingstone? His name isn't heard much any more. There was time when 1t was on everyone's tongue. We're glad to see that his exploits may be refreshed in our memory. The dispatch says that Liv- ingstone will be depicted with cane ir one hand, Bible in the other, and field glasses hanging by his side. The statue is to be so placed that spray from the falls will constantly bathe it. Some people may wonder at the Bible. They probable have forgotten that Livingstone was not mere explorer, as we commonly think of one today, but actually missionary. Placing the statue near Victoria Falls should attract many a tourist. The falls in themselves are really one of the won- ders of. the modern world. Geographers, according to the National Geographic Society claim that Victoria Falls is rival led only by Niagara Falls and those at Iguazu in South America. What fitting site for a memorial. And who more worthy than Livingstone.
