STILL SPEED CRAZY

The street intersections on Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh streets, south of Main, con-
tlnue to be dangerous spots, two acci-
dents, in which fortunately nobody was
injured, being reported ct one intersec-
tion yesterday
There is not day goes by that ob-
servers cannot see at least narrow es-
cape from serious accident at any Of
these intersections.
That they are entirely unnecessary is
as apparent to the observer as is the
surety of their occurrence. All such ac-
cidents and near-accidents can be blamed
on one cause-unnecessary speed at in
tersections.
oThey can only be curbed by one agency
--thoughtfulneSS on the part of drivers
when approaching intersections.
There is no need for boulevard stops
at these intersections. In fact such stops
would be a nuisance and motorists should
be willing to exercise little common
sense rather than force the city council
70 install the stops.
It has been pointed out in this column
time after time, that it is possible to get
from any point in this city to another
within a very few minutes and unless it
is matter of life and death there is no
need for excessive speed on any city
street. The life and death instances are
few and far between. The desire for
speed has no good foundation. 1t is
based entirely on thoughtlessness and
selfishness, with a total disregard for the
rights and protection of others.
As stated above, it was fortunate there
were no injuries resulting from yester-
days accident. However there was
property damage suffered by an entire
ly innocent party, something that can
be quite vexatious and for which the
sufferer is entitled to redress.
The two accidents are referred to here
impersonally. They are no more respon-
sible for this article than dozens of per-
sonally observed narrow escapes during
the past few weeks. The pity Of it is
that many Of these escapes have been
noted at the noon hour, when dozens Of
youngsters are returning from Harding
and Lincoln schools.
Must we wait until some innocent lit
tie tyke is killed or seriously injured to
shock US into being careful?

 AT CAMP ROBERTS
Joseph JenkaIunas, EZRA Instructor, Supervises
 0C Classes
(spcclaI to The Democratl

Thomast0n, Jan 14-The en- rollees of Camp Roberts are greatly interested fin the art of tumblIng as taught by Joesph Jenkalunas. EZRA instructor. Our present equipment being limited, we are making the best possible use of the facilities on hand. Forward roIls, handsprings, walking on hands, headstandsand other startli,n g stunts are in evidence ali over the camp. Interest is growing and If we can secure tumbllng mats, we expect to enlarge the group receiv- ing instruction.
 Camp Roberts chemistry club Is running smoothly under the direc- tion of Joseph Jenltalunas. This group Is interested not so much in theory as in practical demonstra- tons and experiments. Despite limited laboratory equipment, we have already produced and experi- mented with the following gases: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide. sulphur dioxide and chlorine. We are seeking further donations of chemicals and laboratory appar- atus.
 In his surveying class Joseph Jenkalunas has discovered a man that has had former experience in lsurveying. He has seen service with the U. s. army engineering corps in Papama.
 Since his radio debut with the Merry Madcaps, enrollee William "Bing" Pelcher of Plainville has received considerable encourage ment and commendation. At the requestof station WTIC, and through the cooperation of Camp Roberts administrative personnel, "Bing" Is being transported to Hartford two or three times q week to practice his crooning with music supplied by Norman Cloutier's or- chestra.
 Steady progress is being made by the enthusiastic cast of "The Valiant" under the capable direc- ton of Paul Mitnick, EZRA in- structor. Members of the cast have received excellent assistance and we hope in a short while to see a very fine production. Those who have not had the opportunity to act will be afforded the privilege of building the set.

 What $ this ''Eoating Ride"? You've never driven a car like this. It's uncanny the way it rides. Gone entirely are the bumps and jolts.
 Plymouth engineers developed this feature by doing four things: First, they capitalized the load on the springs. Next, they perfected new Mola Steel front springs. Then they developed a new sway eliminator and added double-acting shock-absorbers.
 These four features give Plymouth smoother ride and greater steadiness than any other low-priced car.
