cts too bad but the law is the

by Conservation Commissioner Law
renee Wooddell when he was in
formed that some bass fishermen
had been fined by justices of the
peace for possession of more than
five small or large-mouth bass in
one day. The 1888 fishing licenses
were printed last fall and the daily
bass limit listed on the reverse side
of the permit as eight. This spring
the conservation council establishes
a daily limit of five, but in addition
reduced the legal length from II to
10 inches. In the future laws reg
ulating fishing will not be publish
ed on the licenses so if changes are
adopted by the council following
publication there will be nothing
that might unintentionally mislead
the sportsmen, Commissioner Wood
dell said.

DRIVERS-OR DRIVEN?

We still have to learn how to live
with the automobile. Both as pc
destrians and drivers we are much
at the mercy of other drivers. AT
the wheel, we are also at the mercy
of ourselves, when our driving Skill
is inadequate. And in a sense, we
are at the mercy of the machine.
For one thing, many modern mo-
tor cars can go faster than many
modern drivers can think-and act
"Cannonball' Baker, professional
record smasher, who has driven
more than three million miles, often
at forced speeds, and who has had
only one accident and that when his
own car was standing still, says:
"The average mans refeXes are not
fast enough to handle the top
speeds of today's automobiles"
Each driver has a ''safe' speed.
1t is a balance of his personal re-
f1exes against his cars speed. 1t is
speed that is right for him, given
his physiological and mental make
up. For some exceptional drivers
this 'safe" speed may be high, but
for many it is certainly not more
than 40 or As miles an hour.
But the campaign for highway
safety-while it focuses chiefly on
eliminating auto deaths and maim-
ings, as patiently, it ought to-has
other aspects. For instance, bad
conduct on the highways can pump
up the blood pressure, perhaps can
harden the arteries, and surely can
upset the digestion, and with it
ones peace Of mind.
Here is a driver-and where is he
not?-who feels that that car
ahead, moving little slower than
his own, must be passed at all costs,
that the light must be beaten, that
any other driver on the road who
seems to violate the rules or in
fringe on his pride, must be dis
ciplined with inner angers and per-
haps with downright discourtesy
and cursing. OF course, he may
cause no accident He may leave
the death and injury toll where he
found it. But the resultant tur-
moil has price-and he will pay it,
in frayed nerves, in an overworked
heart.
Yes, we must not only make the
highways safe for others, but we
must also make them safe for our
selves. We must learn how to drive
with serenity. Otherwise we are
not driving the car. 1t is driving
us-ROtary MagaZine
