One legislator said the diplomats
made no recommendation for boil

Still another member. who like his
colleagues asked that his name not
be used, said Ambassador Kennedy
and Bullitt dealt in part with French
and British foreign policies and the
chances those two nations had of
'appeasing" Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini. He said the Ambassa-

the prospects.
Neither Mr. Kennedy nor Mr. Bull

said

among the private data studied dur

THE NEED FOR DRIVERS LICENSE
AND STATE HIGHWAY PATROL LAW

S854,700, and that the property
damage amounted TO S4,44O,OOO.
One motor vehicle out of every
four in Florida had an accident.
What had been done in Florida
about this vital problem? Very
little This state Iags far behind
other states in the matter of safe
ty highway Legislation.
Florida is one of the only five
remaining states without a driv-
ers' license law, and is the only
state among the forty eight with
out a state highway patrol of one
kind or another.
Under the present state laws,
almost anybody who can get be-
hind a steering wheel, whether
he be blind, dope ficnd, or
lunatIc, can drive d car on the
highways of Florida.
The obvious answer to this in
tOlcTable situation is that Florida
needs drivers license law and
the proper machinery TO enforce
IT. Such a law, properly en-
forced. can be a major factor i'm
reducing the number of accidents.
A drivers license law increas-
Is highway safety in several
ways:
First, il removes from the high
ways the incompetent driver. the
habitual drunk, the drug. addict,
and reckless driver. A small
fine may be treated lightly by
the reckless driver. but the loss
of his license TO drive would be
something TO fear.
Second, such a law would not
only remove the dangerous driv-
CT, but would tend to improve
the skill and carefulness of all
drivers. 1t would make young
new drivers the traffic laws,
signs, and signals, and make them
learn TO drive more safely.
Third, q drivers license law
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-04-05

would be of especial benefit 10
the rural communities of Florida.
In the many rural highway ac-
cidents the property and even
the lives of farmers and their
families are destroyed. In the
absence of a statewide drivers
license law, the rural cOmmun-
ity has little protection from
such drivers, because II cannot
afford to maintain a large local
police force.
Fourth, the general results Of
the enactment of a drivers Il
cenSe law would be, according to
the experience of the states that
have such a law, the reduction in
the number of accidents, and the
increase in the pleasure of driv-
ing which rigatfully is the safe
drivers under adequate and
properly enforced laws.
1t is significant that no state
that has enacted a drivers IL
cense law has ever repealed IL
What sound reason is there
why Florida should not fall IN
line with the forty-three states
that have drivers license laws
and remove from our highways
the drunken, the reckless, and
the dangerous drivers.
But to enforce the state high
way safety laws, il Is essential
that an enforcement body, such
as a state highway patrol, be Gre
ated.
As was stated before, Florida
is the only one of the foTty-cight
states in America that does not
have a state highway patrol Of
one kind or another. Some statcs
have patrol, while others have
a state police force, which latter

More than a million persons in
the United States are killed or in
jured in automobile accidents
ever year. Between thirty-five
thousand and forty thousand are
killed, and over one hundred
thousand are permanently in
jured-made helpless, hopeless
cripples by a machine which,
when miSuSed, becomes an in
strument of death and destruc-
ton.
1t has been estimated that. baS-
ed upon the accident figures for
1887 (tIe latest year for which
complete figures are available),
from z a. m. TO | a. m. each day
of the year, a wreck occurs every
seven seconds, a WTecker runs
out to pull in wrecked vehicle
every twenty seconds, an ambu-
lance follows the wrecker every
fifty seconds, and from 10 a. m.
to 6 p m. a hearse carries an
automobile victim to grave
every fOrty-five seconds.
The nation was mortified when
two years of the World War took
$4,000 American lives, but the
same people do not seem to be
so much concerned when they
learn that highway accidents dur
ing the past two years of peace
took over 10000 American lives.
Bringing this down to Florida,
it is found that it has one of the
worst records, in proportion to
population, among the states OF
the Union. According 10 the Ma
tional Safety Council, during
1897, TAO persons were killed in
Florida, one every II hours; Is
900 were injured, one every %
minutes; there were 111,00O &C
cidentS, one every five minutes.
1t is estimated that the ioSpitali-
cation cost for these injured dur
ing that year in Florida was

Repentance" was the subject
of the sermon by DR.. Tyler last

only 20 years after we fought to

ever before because of our moral
breakdown" DR.. Tyler spoke of
repentance as getting back on the
right road.
Services are held each evening
at the tent, corner of Fleming and

Secretary of War Harry H.

cages in its daily task of afford

Army Day, however, affords
annual opportunity from popular
expression of public confidence
in our land defenders. On April

American People will again be
focused upon the personnel and
activities of the country's military
forces. From that inspection,
both the general public and the

mutual reliance.
