standing activities.
The program conducted among
its 900 member organizations
throughout the country. already ac-
lively participated in by Junior
Chambers of Commerce in 43 cities,
is designed to eliminate the increas-
ing traffic deaths due to inadequate
visibility after dark and to the fact
that street lighting in most cities
today is 20 years out of date and
not adapted to modern traffic.
The eight cities winning awards
and the other IS cities which con-
Quoted safety with Light" pro-
grams all made extensive use of the
free material supplied by the
United States Junior Chamber of
Commerce, including educational
literature. car cards. films. bill

Junior Chambers of Commerce
were able to make recommends
tions for the installation of safety
lighting on the specific basis of
local records. In many cases, city
officials requested that such a sur
vey be made part of the Chambers
annual program.
For example, Junior Chamber
surveys showed excess night -acci-

600 per year, or an average of $4,-
$50 per mile of streets. Nine thor
oughfares in0 Long Beach ac-
counted for 1920 Of all night acci-
dents. Twice as many night fatali-
ties as day fatalities occurred on
Long Beach Streets. despite the
fact that only one-quarter of the
traffic moves on them after dark.
The survey of the Denver Junior
Chamber of Commerce revealed
two particularly fatal streets rep
resenting only l.4B of the total
street mileage but accounting for
more than 1870 of all night acci-
dents in Denver In sixteen months
on one street alone, five people
were killed at night = none were
killed in the daytime. Fifteen
streets in Dallas, Texas, accounted
for $3.50 of all of the city's night
accidents. And so, in the case of
each of the cities conducting SUR
veys. the imposing hazard of after
dark traffic was uncovered.

former Red Army officer says, "Not

Soviet armed forces did in recent

America must become aware,

LET'S STOP AND THINK

No will deny that the United States government
is great institution; that it has done things that no
other in all history has accomplished
For instance during the fiscal year of 1888 collected in
approximately $5659 900 600 which is the largest
sum any government collected in any year.
That vast is just about fourth of all the world
monetary gold but despite this unparalleled expense
count federal government still operates at deficit
ANY anyone who thinks the end is in sight has only to
look about hm-at bureau after bureau and at the
growing national deb-to realize that the burden is
going to get heavier
Perhaps this is optimst's view but maybe, after
ALL that 1888 tax load will be worth all it cost Certain
y it will be if compels us to re-examine the whole
question of the relationship between government and the
citizen taxpayer for the world t6day to be moving
too rapidly along the road of greater subordnaton of the
individual to the state In lands that subordnaon
is complete the citizen simply exists for the convenience
of the state.
In America things have not coached that point That
approach will be dangerously near, however if taxation
is allowed to advance to point high that it will const
tute virtual slavery to government.
good mental exercise right would be to re-
member and analyze the oldest uthsever spoken about
our 151-year-od democracy that democratic govern
ment exists to the citizen and that as general
thing it serves him best by leaving him alone.
