records, there were four gasoline
automobiles in the United States.
In 1899, forty-three years later,
approximately $4,000 vehicles Of
all types make daily use Of Wa
terbury's streets and highways.
Streets of Waterbury, which
were comparatively free from mo-
tor vehicles even so recent as
twenty-five years ago are now
packed with cars and trucks
wheeling their ways here and
there at rates Of speed unthought
Of a few years ago.
Consequently, the machine-age
has brought new hazards to our
mode of living along with COM
forts and convenience in trans
portation, both for pleasure and
business.
To survive man has always had
to adapt himself to natural haz-
ards. The automobile Is here to
stay. Man must. adjust himself to
the vehicle as an operator and
learn the "Skills Of the Road"
he must also adjust himself as a
pedestrian and learn to trudge
here and there on foot with a
minimum of conflict with motor
vehicles.
No person in mis- right mind,
at least, invites conflict with
another car-either when operat-
ing a vehicle or when walking on
streets and highways.
In most cases the cause is
thoughtlessness or carelessness--
that Is true. Regardless, the
operator Is not safety minded.
Neither Is a pedestrian safety
conscious who will step out from
behind a parked car directly into
the path of a moving vehicle; or
cross busy streets between inter-
sections.
The Police of Waterbury have
tried by constructive measures
to make both the pedestrian and
motorist Of our city safety-con-
sc!ous. We must cooperate with
them by learning to manage and
control our cars and trucks. AS
pedestrians we must learn to con-
troll ourselves so as to negotiate
the passage from one sidewalk to
another with personal safety.
When the police attain this CO.
operation from the local motorist
and pedestrian traffic accidents
in this city will be reduced to a
minimum.
The Christmas season Is draw
ing near. Our streets and high
ways at that time will be carry
ing a heavy volume Of both veh-
ocular and pedestrian traffic. The

How do you do-Ladies and
Gentlemen of the Radio Audience.
I have been requested by Mi

of Motor Velzl1les to make this
brief radio address In the inter-
ests Of highway safety. I am in
deed grateful for this opportunity
to express my viewpoints on this
subject for 1t Is one which ! am

sioners which sanctioned the
bringing of Lieut.. Frank Kreml
of Evanston, Illinois, here to Wa
terbury to instruct the local po-
lice in scientific accident preven-
ton and investigation methods.
The Waterbury Police depart
ment has indeed made the cor
rect approach to the accident
problem here in our city. Through
their untiring efforts total accid-
ents have been substantially re-
duced; the traffic death rate and
personal injury accidents are on
a downward trend. Last but not
least a tremendous saving has
been granted local insured car
owners. An approximate 500 re-
duction in automobile insurance
rates has been given because of
the efforts of the Police to make
Waterbury a safer city in which
to live.
But, getting back to the topic
Of highway safety. We, the driv-
ing and walking public have
great responsibility resting on our
shoulders. We live in an automo-
bile age. In 1896, according to

Obesity Contributes
To Breakdown

How to prevent, or at least, to post
pone the diseases that come with middle
age, particularly disease of the heart
kidneys and arteries and diabetes, con-
stitutes the chief problem that con-
fronts the physician today
Members of the Minnesota State
Medical Associations committee on
public health education today concluded
their series of three weekly bulletins on
this group of ailments with declar-
alton to this effect and with few sug-
gestions also, for preventing early
breakdown.
Much is still unknown, according to
the bulletin, as to the actual cause OF
degenerative disease; but certain con-
ditions are so closely associated with it
that avoiding them affords practical
measure of protection and prevention of
disease.
One of the most important of these
is obesity Excess weight places bur-
den upon all of the vital organs which
contributes heavily, particularly in
middle age, to their premature break
down. Proof lies in life insurance
statistics which show that men and
women of normal or less than normal
weight live considerably longer than
their overweight brethren.
Another important factor in early
breakdown of the heart and circulatory
system is neglect or acute infections
fastening back to normal activity fol-
lowing acute illness and before the
heart has fully recovered is the cause

9TH DISTRICT
CONGRESSMAN
JOINS PROTEST
William A. Pittenger Contacts
Governor With Protests on
Weber-Carley Bill.

CONGRESSMAN william A. Pittengel
joined his fellow citizens in the Eighth
district last week in making vigorous
protests against two measures now IN
the legislature which vitality affect not
only the Iron Ranges but the entire
state of Minnesota.
One of these is the Weber Carley bill
which raises the occupational and
royalty taxes on iron ore. The other
also Weber-Carley sponsored, would
limit the local municipal levieS to $50
instead of $40 as at present and in
school district to $40 instead of the $50
now fired by law.
The congreSsman'S protests were made
by airmail letters and kilograms to Gov
ernor Harold E. Stassen, Lieutenant
Governor c. Elmer Anderson, president
of the senate; Representative Lawrence
M. Hall, speaker of the house, Represen-
tative William Berlin of Hibbing; Sem
ator Frederick j. Miller, chairman of
the senate taxes and laws committee,
presiding officers of the senate and
house he requested be submitted to their
respective bodies.
In these communications, Congress-
man Pittenger warns the governor, the
legislators and the people of Mime
sofa, that it is unwise to further in
crease the tax burdens of the mining
industry in this state, thereby increas-
ing cost of production and placing it
at a competitive disadvantage with
other mining areas. AS to the proposal
to further reduce the per capita tax
levieS on the Ranges, he holds that it
is an utterly unwarranted interference
with the home rule rights of these COM
munities, not only repugnant to demo-
cratic principles but impractical from
the standpoint of meeting local revenue
requirements in these critical times.
In his airmail letter to the governor,
Congressman Pittenger stated:
Il believe that the mining industry
IS already -burdened and that the
bill for additional revenue from occupa-
tional and royalty taxes will add to the
burdens of that industry and contribute
to unemployment.
ut is also my candid opinion that the
bill reducing the per capita tax will

work a great hardship on the Iron
Range municipalities and join with
people from northern Minnesota in pro-
testing both of these measures.
To Lieuteant Governor Anderson, Mr.
Pittenger wrote:
1.-The mining industry is already over
burdened with taxes and increases will
cripple industry in northern Mime
sofa and lead to more unemployment
on the Iron Range.
"AS citizen and taxpayer of northern
Minnesota I wish to join the other
people in that vicinity in protesting
against the passage of this measure"
On the tax limitation bill Mr.. Pit
tenger wrote to Mr.. Anderson: Passage
of this bill would work great hardship
on Range municipalities and school dis
tricts and would further increase relief
and unemployment problems"
The tenor of the other letters was
similar, all stresSing the impractical
bility of these measures and the menace
which their enactment into law pre-
sentS.
