An invalids bed is such narrow world, yet we
have many iustrious evidences that sick beds may
become habitations of heroism. Simple endurance
itself may be the highest form of courage. And
there may always be one visitor who walked a
solitary way in order to qualify as a companion
for lonely souls.
We bring to the sympathetic heart of the Man
of Sorrows today all who sick. May Christ be
their companon.-Dr William T. Ellis.

June 10, 1566-A son was born to
Mary Queen of Scots who was to be-
come James 1 of England to whom
Protestants owe their present classic
version of the Bible. AS unconven-
tional as James mother was James
wife, Anne. She was the first woman
to perform on the English stage Un-
til her time, all female characters
were enacted by men,.
She must not have been a good act
ress, for man who criticized her was
sentenced to have his nose and ears
cut off. Persons are punished most
severely for telling the truth.
June 49, 1754-The United States of
America was conceived. Twenty five
delegates from New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island Connecti-
cut New York, Pennsylvania and
Maryland, met in Albany, N. Y, in
the first attempt to form colonial
confederacy. They adopted a plan of
union presented by Benz. Franklin.
The confederation was rejected by
the people in every colony.
The plan of union which was
adopted 81 years later, was modelled
after the Iroquois Amerindian Con-
federation, a scheme of government
which influenced nations throughout
the world!

like 100000 more cars registered now
than this time last year with
heavy increase in the number of out
of-State cars and trucks.
Reckless and careless driving and
disregard of the highway laws and
rules of the road we're responsible for
most of these accidents in which 81
persons were killed and $40 injured,
the figures show, with 73 fatal and
234 non-fatal accidents directly at
tributed to excessive speed, reckless
ness, hit-and-run driving and passing
on curves and hills. Of these, speed
ing was given as the cause of 80 fatal
and so non-fatal crashes, reckless
driving the cause of 19 fatal and 81
non-fatal accidents, passing on curves
and hills the cause of 81 fatal and
62 non-fatal crashes. With ~ fatal
and 40 non-fatal crashes reported
as occurring on perfectly straight and
clear stretches Of highway. Two fatal
and 21 no,s-fatal crashes occurred
at rural intersections of side roads
with main highways.
Most Accidents Rural.
There were 278 rural accidents and
218 city accidents, only seven were
fatal, 211 being non-fatal while of the
278 rural accidents, 68 were fatal
and 21O non-fatal. The larger number
of fatal rural accidents is attribut-
ed to the higher speeds generally at
tanned on the rural highways as COM
pared with the slower speeds which
usually prevail in the cities. This is
also believed to explain the fact that
the IA accidents at street intersec-
tions in cities, only four were fatal.
Pedestrians continued to suffer
heavily as casualties in automobile ac-
cidents with % pedestrians killed and
So injured. Of these, 25 were children
of which six were killed and 10 in
jured, while 10 pedestrians were kill
ed and four injured while walking
on the roadway. Three drunken pc
destrians were killed and one in
jured.
Drunken drivers were involved in
only two fatal accidents, but were re-
garded as responsible for 81 non-fatal
accidents.
Collision accidents continue to top
the list In frequency with 81 killed and
$50 injured in collisions between cars
and trucks, with nine killed and Al
injured in collisions with fixed objects |
such, as telephone poles, bridges,
banks and so forth. One person was
killed and three injured on collisions
with trains at railroad crossings and
two killed and II injured in col
lision accidents only 20 persons were
killed and SO injured.

While it is not generally announced
and regarded as part of the risks
patrolmen take every day, those in
the patrol office here know that pa
trolmen are frequently shot at by
drivers of cars when they attempt
to stop them, often merely for de-
fective lights or minor law violations.
In fact, those most familiar with
the workings of the patrol regard 1t
as unusual that Patrolman Moore was
the first patrolman to be shot and
killed in line of duty, since scores OF
patrolmen have had encounters with
drunken or desperate drivers in
which nothing more than luck has
saved their lives. About year ago a
patrolman in the western part of the
State, while chasing a reckless driver
was fired on with a sub-machine gun
from the rear of the car, three bull
lets going through his glove and up
MS sleeve, while one bullet smashed
tne headlight on his motorcycle, the
headnght saving his life.

pressing the appreciation of the
