YOUNGSTERS ARE
NOT GOOD DRIVERS
(Ontario Report

1t is about time We stopped making
blanket statements about the abilities OF
our children. Granted il is a fine thing
to feel that our Youngsters are smart
and superior We hope they are, but the
often-repeated information that after
all. our young people are the best drivers
Is simply not true.
The fond but uniformed mother or
father who tells you that junior is mar
vel at the wheel is guilty of half fact.
Junior may have good coordination and
fast reactions to approaching danger
but he is still way down the list as a safe
driver. Traffic problems must be solved
and judgment must predOminate before
his coordination and reactions count
The fact is. the record for drivers un-
der 25 years of age is five times as bad
as that for the age group with the best
record. namely between 45 and 80. This
comparison is on a basis of miles driven.
1t is acknowledged by the American
Automobile association that experience,
caution, and judgment play an impor-
tant role in driving ability. Because of
the necessity of these qualities in a good
driver, % states now require safety edu
cation in the schools, either by law on by
regulation of the state education depart
ment, and 43 have courses Of study on
safety education, and also eight require
teachertrainng courses of study on safe
ty education This training is aimed not
only at technical training in actually
handling a car, but it emphasizes. as
more important. the correct attitude to-
ard the responsibility involved in using
the highways.

FEARS FOR THE CANAL
(San Bernardino Sum

There is more fear than appears on the
surface that in a time of emergency the
United States may have difficulty in
keeping the Panama canal open for traf
fic between the eastern and western
coasts.
Elaborate precautions are being taken
to offset any physical attacks that might
be made on the vital sea commerce artery
but there have been indications that there
is grave concern over possibility Of de-
Structive activities from within.
An idea Of the way certain government
officials are thinking was given in the
recent assertion of Representative Keefe
of Wisconsin in the house of representa-
tvs that the present leadership Of the
maritime union, "cOnnlvlng with the
agents of Stalin," was attempting to
place itself in position to tie up the can
al in the event of national emergency.
If there are communists, or SympathiZ-
erS, in the ranks of maritime workers
they could cause no end of trouble in
retarding shipping through the canal.
All the mighty bombing planes, land de-
fenSes and naval ships would be helpless
against boring from within.
However, great as the concern may be-
the average American will continue to
have confidence in radically-minded fell
low citizens, making allowances for GER
tain of their beliefs, but cOntending that
elimination of a handful of agitatOrS will
cleanse the whole situation. A national
emergency has always served in the past
to unite Americans and will continue to
do so.
