HOLIDAY DEATHS

A recent estimate had it that 6Ss
people lost their lives as result OF
the Christmas celebration. No doubt
this total will be increased when
other accidents are counted in. OF
these 6SS, motoring accidents in
cluded GIG.
1t seems a strange thing. if the
American people can't celebrate this
day of peace and good will and hap
piness, without killing 700 or more
people. 1t is even worse than the
last Fourth of July record, as only
444 violent deaths occurred in cele-
brating independence day.
People often deplore the fatalities
of football, but this rough game does
not produce nearly so many trage-
dies as this business of celebrating
a national holiday. And as respects
football, probably the number of peo-
pie killed while speeding their cars
to the football field. exceeds those
who suffer death while playing the
game.
In all these doings. the American
people exhibit the hasty and nervous
and dangerous way in which they
behave. One would think that on
Christmas day, with plenty of time
in which to get to the places where
they are celebrating. people would
go slow, remember the dangers of
winter driving. give the other fell
low the right of way, and not worry
if they do lose a minute or two.
But no, they can't wait for any
body, or perhaps their pride forbids
them to slow down and let the other
fellow go ahead. So this day of love
and worship becomes one of tragedy
in 700 homes, which have found moth
ing merry in a day that brought life
long sorrow.
Laws regulating peoples habits |
may do something to check these sad |
fatalities. But in the main the |
American people need some change
in temperament, before they can
celebrate their public functions
without getting themselves into a
peck of trouble.

WHAT WILL NEW YEAR BRING

People ask, What will the New
Year bring to us?" 1t would be
more to the point to ask what we
shall bring to the New Year. The
New Year is not something that will
bring us abundant benefits, regard
less of our own conduct. Rather it
is simply an opportunity, a chance
to do things.
They say Opportunity knocks at
every mans door. But she does not
bring gifts. She merely issues an
invitation to get out in the world
and do things the world wants done.
That calls for effort and thought.
Many folks pay no attention to that
invitation.
