Public Invited To
 Hear Illinois Man
 In Crosby Address
Lieutenant Frank M. KremI to Emphasize Problem O Making Enforcement Potent Force in Prevention;
 Advocates Penaizing Reckless Drivers

The first year following the crea- tion in Syracuse of the Evanston system of traffic law enforcement, the enforcement index of trafac laws increased more than 400 per cent. During the first six months following the adoption of the same plan in Louisville, automobile acci- dents decreased nearly g per cent. The enforcement index, by which the effectiveness of police depart ments and courts in automobile accident prevention may be meas ured, is described as the ratio be- tween the number of convictions for trafiic law violations involving cars in motion and the number of personal injury accidents.
 EvanstOn's Record
 In this connection, Evanston last year had ratio of almost IA con- victions of operators of cars in mo- ton for traffic violations for every personal injury accident. Before the city established its present system of automobile accident prevention work, the rate of convictions, or en- forcement index, was about what It is in many American cities at the present time. An example of this is seen in the record of 1928 when the city had 62 hit and run acci- dents which resulted in only Il arr rests and five convictions. The fol- lowing year, when the present sys- tenn was established, there were 30 arrests of hit and run accident driv- CTS, of whom 72 were convicted.
 Lieut.. Kreml has been quoted to the effect that this country's de- plorable automobile accident record can be improved quickly. He be- lieves that enforcement, which he describes as the weapon peculiar to the police, is the keenest and strongest weapon in the fight against death and destruction on streets and highways. He advocates that enforcement lead the attack on high speeds, reckless and drunk. en driving, which in his opinion constitute the leading factors in the country's annual automobile &C., cident toll.

Asembers of the Waterbury street ana highway safety committee headad ov John Burrall will hear a discussion of the part Wnlcn en- forcement can play in preVentns automobile accidents when Lleut' TranjS M. Kreml, of the Evanston 1fII1 police department, appears hefore the group Tuesday evening 2 The rulolic is invited to attend the neetin0. which will be devoted 70 Waterbury,s effort to improve the citv,s automobile accident record.
 At present Lieut.. Kreml IS m tnls state to assist the police department of Bridgeport to set up the system of nolice accident investigation bu- reaiI. which has been instrumental in heluing Evanston, Mtlwaukee, Wisc.. and other cities to reduce materially their automobile accident casualties. .n,
 on "wednesday evening he will sneak before a meeting in Hart ford called by the law enforcement subcommittee of a general salety group embracing Hartfords west Hartford. East Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield. Friday evening Lieut.. Kreml will address the safety committee of New Haven on the subject of trafflc law enforcement.
 Enforcement
 At the meeting in this city Lieut.. Kreml will go into the problem of making enforcement a potent force in automobile accident prevention, which involves the establishment or a police accident investigation bu- reau charged with the responsibility of gathering evidence on accidents and the development of program to safeguard life and limb tprougn selective enforcement.
 Since September he has been on leave of absence from the police de- partment at Evanston in order to set up at Purdue university at Lafayette, Ind, an institute on street and highway safety. In re- cent months he has aided Syracuse, N. Y, and Louisville, Ky, to estab- fish new approach to automobile accident prevention by means of enforcement. Early in March he will spend several weeks in Columbus, O., at the invitation of the mayor of that city, helping the police de- pertinent there to institute the Evanston system of safeguarding life and limb.
 Reduction
 Those who have arranged the meeting here in Waterbury believe that the general public will be in- teTested in hearing discussion of a system of law enforcement which in Evanston has been largely re- sponsible In reducing the automo- bile accident death rate from 23.5 per 100000 population to less than 2 for last year. Only two persons were killed in Evanston in automo- bile accidents this past year, al- though that city has a population of approximately 75,0O0 and a great volume of continuous trafflc to and from Chicago, which 1t joins on the noTth.

DISCOURAGING THRIFT

One of the fundamental principles of the early
ponecrS was thrift Those who wrested living
from the wilderness and cleared 1t for the nigh
WAYS of trade and travel to follow, knew the WIS
dom of saving 1t was lesson they did not have
TO be taught.
Are some of our present governmental policies
not dscouraging thrift? Is there a tendency on the
part of large section of the citizenship to
expect. and continue to expect handouts from the
federal government? And is not this influence
spreading toward the state governments, as we'll!
There seems a very definite trend in this direc-
ton. There is no argument of course against the
extension of aid and assistance to our aged and
INDECENT and blind, but there is a very definite ar
pument against governmental handouts to able
bodied persons who are in position to find private
employment.
Just now long this trend is going to continue no
one can foreScc, but if public handouts continue
and old age pensions are voted, the ultimate effect
on millions of people will certainly not be TO en-
courage thrift-Anderson IS. c. Record.
