lations and penalties will not help
if you DARE the world with
RECKLESSNESS.
Reminds us of the fellow in
school who goes around, for no
reason in the world, with CHIP
ON HIS SHOULDER and dar IS
someone to KNOCK IT OFF.
Sooner or later, SOMEONE WILL,
and if their aim is poor they might
hit nose or a chin or an eye in
doing it. Then the fellow-with-a-
chip-on-hiS-Shoulder will YELL to
the roof-tops that he has been
abused, when he only got what he
WAS ASKING FOR.
WALKING or DRIVING into
traffic WITH A CHIP ON YOUR
SHOULDER is all the same thing.
DEPENDING on the OTHER
FELLOW for your own safety is
risky business at best, and that is
exactly what you do when YOU
SKATE IN THE STREET,
HITCH rides on trucks, DART
across the street in the middle
of the block or CROSS against
the light.
THE RIGHT OF WAY is strictly
WHAT YOU MAKE IT. No law
can govern THAT before the acct
dent. All it can do is to DETER
MINE the responsibility AFTER
it's all over and then it's
too late. TAKING CHANCES
may make you a DAREDEVIL, TO
your friends at school, but such
POPULARITY WON'T pay hos
pital bills, and the news flash OF
your accident won't even make
the front page so what?
So this PLAY SAFE to the
extent of being selfish and
If the Other fellow does the same,

you again tomorrow for another
chat, SO until then Ship,
