ONE HIGHWAY TO
FEWER ACCIDENTS

The California Safety Council. which
this year is conducting a thorough cam
paign against traffic accidents on the
states highways, has listed as one of
its goals this
"Re-examination Of drivers. partieu-
larly those charged with violations, and
those physically handicapped
Coupled with stiff penalty for any
one driving an automobile without IL
cense, such ruling might do much 10
reduce accidents. IL would, doubtlessly,
reduce by a considerable number the
the number of persons 10 drive cars
but it would reduce. too, the number of
potential accident makers.
Another factor is the psychological
one, for any motorist who knew that ne
would have to undergo stiff examina-
tion if he became involved in an accident
would do all in his power To avoid the
accident. 1t is an interesting commen-
tary on human nature that the fear of
such an examination would have more
corrective influence than fear of the
accident itself-yet it is true

Tension offer CzechS
What's Hitler's plan? i.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON.-World tension
over Germany's immediate inten-
tions in Czechoslovakia will increase
in the next few weeks. This fact
and the fear in Washington and
other capitals that tension will lead
to explosion lie behind the speeches
in which Secretary Hull denounced
international laWlessneSs and Presi-
dent Roosevelt emphasized Ameri-
cas- concern over other nations
"Wanton brutality
Although about a million Germans
have been called out for maneuVers,
the u. S. government has no inside
information on Hitler's plans-and
it is doubted here if Hitler himself
knows just what he will do.
Reports of differences between
Hitler and his army generals are
considered authentic The generals
don't believe Germany is sufficient
ly stocked for European war and
they adVkSe against INVASION Oh
Czechoslovakia. But they also ad-
Vised against the Austrian adven-
ture.
Diplomatic and military officials
in Washington suspect Hitler won't
attack. The Hull and Roosevelt
speeches were designed to notify
the world that American sympathy
and perhaps more-would be
ranged against Germany in case
her aggression provoked a war.
Expert opinion holds that risking
war with all other major European
powers plus moral opposition from
the United States is too big a gam

INCREASING SPEED SETS
ADVERSELY TO COME
lOroville Mercury

The development of air travel is max
ing the world smaller and smaller,
which may not be TO the advantage of
certain industries.
Of course this does not apply to the
world Of news, where speed is essential
and the more the better. The other
night we saw newSreel pictures of King
Georges reception in France pictures
which reached America (by pick-a-bacl)
plane) Just two days after the king and
queen had landed on the continent. Eu-
rope. that used to be months away, is
now close by. This of course is all very
good IN the news industry.
But consider the orchid industry. Or
chids have always been SO perishable
and 50 hard to raise that only those who
were very rich or very much in love
could afford them.
Now. however, regular air shipments
are being arranged SO that the hitherto
rare blooms may be offered to the pub
lie in such numbers and at such reason
able prices that nearly everybody can
afford them.
Il is questionable whether there will
be any advantage to the growers in in
creasing the supply, however. Heads of
the diamond industry could.
Orchids will be no more glamorous
than morning glories or gladioli if they
become common.
As science contracts the world business
must keep watchful eye on the chang
ing habits and desires of the race, or
what will be an advantage to some will
be disaster to others.

ARE YOU 4 HYPOCRITE?
lNogales Herald)

lNogales Herald)
The average motorist is an unconscious
hypoerite. That's a strong characterize
tion-but little impersonal analysis
will substantiate it.
How often have you roundly criticized
some driver for an offense which you
commit periodically yourself? How Of
ten have you taken comfort in the
thought that accidents are caused by
some reckless breed of motorists with
whom you have nothing in common thus
lodging the fact that only pure FOOLS
luck has saved you from crash on
dozen occasions? Have you ever at
tempted to get a ticket "fixed" d"-even
though you pay lip service to the cause
of aggressive, impartial law enforce
ment?
Il is fact that large proportion of
accidents are caused by the reckless ten
per cent, but the other ninety per cent
periodically take chances and are re-
sponsible for many of our annual auto
deaths.
Who, for example, doesn't sometimes
pass a car when the stretch of empty
road that can be seen is too short for
safety? Who doesn't occasionally sue
cumb 10 the lure of excessive speed
even though he has little or nothing to
do when his destination is reached? Who
doesn't periodically neglect necessary
repairs 10 brakes. lights or steering
mechanisms, on the theory that he will
get around to it when more convenient?
Well go a good way toward reducing
accidents when the average driver be-
gins asking himself such questions and
returning honest answers. Accident pre-
yention. 50 far as it concerns the human
element. IS a personal, individual mat
ter-and each individual has to really
want to drive safely at all times before
he can analyze his driving errors and
correct them.

ter not to play at my daughters
Writing-desk in the little side room.
As I see it, this was definite COM
mand. Well, Margie tthe grand
child disobeyed her mother. She
went to the kitchen, got some cocoa
and a bit later she put this in the
bottle of ink. OF course the ink
was ruined. But I think it ruined
something else, discipline. This was
the elimination of many minor
disobediences. I took the stand
that Margie should be spanked.
My daughter said no, and, being
the mother, she had her way.
You may smile at this letter,
but really this matter of discipline
in our family is serious and it is
important. I see many families
with self-willed, spoiled children,
and it is mostly through lack of
a firm hand over them. Children
of my day were spanked. And they
were better behaved than the chill
dren of today. Spare the rod and
spoil the child has lots to it. Now,
Mr.. Carnegie, don't you think
Margie should be spanked? Isn't
it far better to spank her than to
talk the wits out of a child?"
Frankly I don't know what to
say. One reason is that I've never
had any children. was the young
er son in our family and I have
never been around children very
much.
Now to my point: Should chill
dren of this day and age be spank
ed? Is a spanking harmful or
helpful?

Bruce Cation SAYS

IL lo llflIu W oCC JltoG "iiCit iCoi-
dent Roosevelt said anything espec-
tally surprising when he announced
that the armed forces of the United
States would Immediately be balled
into action in case of an attempted
invasion of Canada by a foreign
power. In reality, it's the Monroe
Doctrine applied to the north, as
well as to the south.
Reluctant as Americans are to get
mixed up in anyone's quarrel, there
can hardly be any shadow of doubt
than Under any and all circum-
stances they would use their utmost
strength to defend the Dominion
against outside attack.
That does not, of course, mean
that Uncle Sam is pledged to throw
troops and fleets across the seas
the next time Canada becomes in
Volved in a British war on the
continent of Europe. Nor does it
mean that American hearts are so
full of love, sentiment, and the
sweet spirit of neighborlyness that
they would rush to the Dominion's
defense out of sheer unselfishness.
1t simply recognizes a perfectly
obvious fact-namely, that Ameri-
can security against outside attack
requires that pedatory powers be
kept from getting a foothold in the
land to the north of the border.
BY defending Canada against at
tack, Uncle Sam would simply be
defending himself. That unfortified
border is pricesless asset; it might
we'll be worth a war to preserve it.
Now when we have said all there
is to say about hands across the
border, good neighbors, information
al friendship, and SO on, it is pretty
clear that this community of interest
between the Dominion and the Re-
public is at the bottom a highly
practical affair. Canada and the
United States get along well to-
gether because it is their own best
interest to do SO. They are good
customers and markets for each
other. Their friendship rests on a
solid, dollars-and-cents foundation.
An when you face that fact
squarely, you are forced to wonder
if the same thing might not be
true of a good many other nations
nations which right now are glar-
ing at one another with their hands
On their pistol butts, ready to fight
at the drop of hat.
There is nothing unique about
Canada and the United States. They
live side by side, they do business
with each other, and they prosper
thereby If that is true of them,
why wouldn't it be true also OF
France and Germany, of Germany
and Czechoslovakia, of Italy and
. Jugoslayia-or indeed of any other
pair OF nations you could possibly
name?
The answer is pretty obvious. 1t
would be true-if the nations in
volved would only give it trial.
If there was little less bristling
and saber-rattling and a little more
honest effort to do business to-
gether, the Canadian American har-
mony could be duplicated on all
international borders.
Must the world 1--we through an
other great war before that fact
