TRAFFIC deaths continue to

TRAFFIC deaths continue to
mount again despite warn
ings and the cooperation of
most motorists and pedes-
trians. Perhaps it is time for
state and local traffic officials
to clamp down the screws and
put in place known violators
of speed laws and other traffic
ordinances.
Sixth avenue is one arterial
highway in point. Motorists
are taking too many chances,
they are going too fast. and
refusing to recognize that pc
destrians at crossings have the
right of way. There are stop
lights and caution lights and
20-mile speed limits on part of
the thoroughfare, but you
would be hard put on occasion
to prove it.
Isn't it about time for some
of us motorists to take it
easier, and give the pedestrian
the break he is entitled to? II
isn't sensible to take a chance
on hitting someone and maim-
ing them for life, if not killing
them instantly. A word of
caution should be needed be-
fore it is too late.
PROPOSALS to put on the
ballot in the city election
a proposition for a city-owned
airport in the west end, just
south of 9th avenue and near
the Narrows bridge east APP
proach, are meeting with a lot
of fire. The city council has
until Wednesday to determine
if it will put the matter on the
ballot. Inasmuch as the Young
Mems Business club, which is
backing the project, includes
in its membership many of the
city council, the latter are in a
difficult position. However,
the pros and cons should be
measured with extreme care.
Aside from natural objec-
tons of west end residents
that the airport there would
handicap desirability of that |
area for a residence section |
and perhaps limit its expan-
sion, there are many who re-
call the county financial bur-
den of an airport until the
project was turned over 10 the |
US. government for develop |
ment as a Northwest army |
airbase. Financial considera-
tons are important these /
days. Too, there has been little
or no showing to date that any |
of the operators of transconti-
mental airlines would be inter-
ested in an airport in the heart |
of the city. The bigger air
ports Of the country are far
removed from sections heavily /
populated.
The city council should think /
long and hard before commit I
ing itself on the project.

NO EXTRA POLICE
FOR new METERS
Present Force Capable Of
Enforcing Regulations,
Says Com. Cross

Police Commissioner Wendell
Cross said today that the board does
not plan to hire extra men to ad-
minister the parking meter depart
nent when the board finally adopts
a specific type of meter for the city
Adoption of the meter is expected
Wednesday.
Mr.. Cross said that the consider
able task Of administering the meter
department will be undertaken by
members of the present force, whose
beats will be "shrunk" in order that
they may give the job the time 1t
requires. The beats of other police
men will be expanded, Mr.. Gross
said.
The police board is expected to in
stall 500 meters right away, and add
more meters as the city becomes ac-
customed to the new regulation. Mr..
Cross pointed out that New Haven
installed 800 meters to begin with,
added 500 later, and then added 300
more. Neither in New Haven nor in
Danbury were new men hired to do
the work of checking the meters or
the big job of bookkeeping which
the extra funds entail.
Mr.. Cross said that the police
board has given considerable time to
the parking meter question. Install
ling the meters was called "big
bite" by Mr.. Cross, who said how
ever that the public will quickly be-
come accustomed to the new regu-
lation.

Americans certainly like ice cream! Latest figures

In 1889 the United States consumed 100000 quarts
of ice cream far greater total than any other country

everyone in the country could have is quarts in 1889

that the increased consumption of ice is crafty

Church's Business
To Voice Warnings
Rev. DR.. Walker Gives Sermon on Text, Live Care
lessly' at Second Congregational Church

Surely it is the business of the
church to warn people about care
less moral living and the wrongs Of
the world today include careless liv-
ing, careless thinking, free and
easy disregard of promises and OBJ
legations, careless, arrogant disre-
gard of the pledged word and the
signed treaty." said Rev. DR.. John C
Walker, pastor of the Second Con-
gregational Church in his sermon,
Live Carelessly," yesterday morn
ing.
DR.. Walker said in part:
Live carelessly! I say that in spite
of the fact that I believe in a per-
sonal savings account, in a sound
program of life insurance for every
wage Garner, in the hospital plan, in
annuity funds, in old age pensions
and numerous other safeguards
which are designed to take care of
so many of the hazards of the per-
sonal life. OF course I believe in fire
insurance on my house and in per-
sonal liability insurance on my auto
mobile. 1t is my own conviction that
everyone who drives a car should
carry some protection in case he
should be involved in an automobile
accident. We have no right to take
chances with other pepole's lives and
property. If we cannot insure our re-
sponsibility, If we cannot afford LA
t51llty insurance, it is extremely
doubtful whether we have any moral
right to drive car 1t is bad enough
to take chances with our own lives
but who gives us the right to take
chances with other peoples lives?
"And still I say, live carelessly! I
have authority for suggesting care
lesSness, the highest possible author
ity. Suppose we admit that we must
save and safeguard and insure and
protect and defend many things in
life. 1t is also certain that we must
risk and spend and adventure in
life. Jesus saw life steadily and He
