cannot be blamed for yelling,
swanton waste Of money when
millions of dollars are put into
projects and then left half-com-
pleted to bake in the sun. 1t is
either the result of bad planning
or just plain carelessness. In
either case it is the people who

And when it comes down to us
right here at home and we learn
that work on the Holmes County
State Park is going to be stopped
in all probability on October LIST
we find added meaning in those
words. /.
It is unthinkable to spend
thousands of dollars on the pro-
iect we have wanted and worked
for many years and then have it
brought up to the point near
completion and abandoned.
Such abandonment is sheer
waste and should not be tolerated
by the people Of this section who
have worked for years to get the
park for the health and happiness
of the people in our county.
Monday, Sept. 6, is Labor Day

the u. s. and Canada. It was in

voted it a legal holiday. The

The Lord is good to we Ameri'
cans. He put two nice big deep
oceans on both sides Of us. A
comforting thought when we
read about China and Japan.
We thank Heaven daily that
we are citizens of a country with
enough national conscience and
honesty to call a spade a spade
and a war a war.
A nation like Japan thinks
nothing Of warning on China
killing her people and bringing
destruction to her lands, yet they
are careful to make no formal
declaration of war against China
Thus they guard against
world sentiment being directed
against them for violating the
kellogg BRAND Peace Pact.
AS il the mere declaration OF
war made any difference!
But II Duce got away with il

And she will.
Holmes county has had a full
time health department since
June, 1926. 1t was one of the
first counties in the state to
start a full time health unit and
is ranked as one of the most pro.
gressive units in the state. Ever
now many counties in this stat,
do not have full-time health de

TRAFFIC SAFETY
UNIT FORMED
IN CAPITAL

In an attempt to check the
growing number of traffic acct
dents and deaths, formation Of \
citizens safety council was under
way today. ......- .-,s
Recommendation for formation
Of the council was made last night
at . dinner at the willard Hotel
in honor Of Lieut.. Franklin M.
Kreml Of Evanston, ILL.,, noted
traffic authority. Many official
and civic leaders Of the Capital
attended the dinner.
Senator william H. King Ol,
OF Utah, chairman Of the Senate
District Committee, proposed the
council and pledged his assistance
in seeing that Congress appro-
q PIRATES any money the council
feels necessary In finding o solu-
ton to the traffic problem.
Cites Justice Unit
Formation of the Washington
Criminal Justice Association in
the Capital shows what may be
done by o civic organization
toward solving city problems. Sen
ator King pointed out.
Eugene Meyer, local newspaper
publisher, was named to head the
organization unit. Named with
him were Col. Dan I. Sultan, Engi-
neer Commissioner Of the District,
and Col. L. c. Crawford, chairman
Of the traffic committee Of the
Board Of Trade.
Senator King suggested that all
local agencies, both civic and Of
fetal, be represented on the coun-
Gil, and urged that it be made q
permanent organization.
Declaring that there must be
public support Of police and city
officials If the traffic problem is
to be solved, Lieutenant Kreml
said:
1.-THE conservation Of lives ON
public highways II the most Inn
pOrtant work Of modern times.
We can't 60 ut It too strongly
nor too thoroughly.
HIGH DEATH TOLL
Last year, he pointed out, there
were $1,000 lives lost in traffic
accidents, and he predicted that
this year the death toll viii mount
to more than 10000.
The worst months in the year
are still to come, he said, pointing
out that statistics show approx
mately one-half Of the total num-
Der Of traffic deaths and injuries
occur In October, November and
December.
With proper control methods,
many needless accidents can be
prevented, he said, adding that q
planned program Of traffic con-
troll viii be necessary to improve
conditions.
He urged that in the District
accident Investigation squad cars.
oe provided for each precinct,
rather than the two which are
low in operation.
In his own city of Evanston he
pointed out that in three years
the traffic death rate was reduced
from 1913 per 100000 to 40. and
declared this can be done in any
city where proper steps are taken
to handle the problem.
The proper support Of courts and
prosecutors is necessary, he said,
as it is useless for police to make
arrests unless they are followed by
imposition of the proper penalties
for violations.
