Observance OF
Traffic Rules
Moral Duty"
Governor O'COnOr's Safety
Committee Appeals To
Honor of Motorists and
Pedestrians"

Appealing to the ''honor of mo-
florists and pedestrians" Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor's Maryland
Traffic Safety Committee today
pointed out that there is definite
moral responsibility upon all citi-
zens in the matter of observing
traffic laws for greater safety on
our roads.
Stressing the Importance of OBJ
serving traffic regulations "because
you want to and not just because
the law says you must" A. B.
Metzger, chairman of the Enforce
ment for the Traffic Safety Com
mittee, declared, "the constant dis
cussion about enforcement, of traf-
fic regulations, touches three spe-
cific domains of human action.
First, that portion of statuary
law which everyone realizes must
be obeyed. Such as not driving
without a license.
Second, a system of regulation
made necessary by the condition
under which we live, which enables
us to go about our everyday affairs
without getting in another's way
The right of way rules are an ex.
ample of this phase, and are US.
ually subject to enforcement.
"The third domain is where we
have a deliberate choice, and we
do the thing we should do without
being compelled by law. For in
stance observing speed laws, stol
signs and pedestrian rights Of
way when we feel certain an off
GER will not see US.
"This is a moral responsibility
1t is the test of a Nations great.
ness and is civilizations accurate
measure of our capacity for sell
government, and is particularly APP
plicable to automobile drivers ano
pedestrians.
"There is not a possibility of any
state having sufficient money, OF
traffic police to follow the daily &C
.'vities of all it's citizens on al
streets and highways. Therefore
something must be left to the honol
of the motorists and pedestrians.

OConOr Speaks
Before Baltimore
Armistice Crowd
mo Division +, Can Be
Allowed To Separate U.s.
He Tells Armistice Day
Listeners

National Unity should be the
watchword not only of this day,
but of every day during the COM
ing year." Governor Herbert R.
OConor declared in addressing the
annual Armistice Day gathering
in Baltimore.
GAIL of our people, regardless
of class, or creed, or color, have
one great common interest. That
interest is our Nation, and no d.
vision between or among citizens
can be allowed to separate US.
The blessings of liberty and free
dom are for everybody, and conse-
quently, all should stand united
in upholding the principles which
characterize Democracy"
"On this Armistice Day of
1940," he continued, "We in
America have much over which to
be jubilant, even though at the
same time we have much about
which to be concerned. AS the one
remaining exponent of Democracy
in the world that is not actively
engaged in war, we have the i'm
mense satisfaction of knowing that
our Democratic way of life has
not been extinguished. While mil
lions of other less fortunate peo-
pie of the world must speak with
bated breath; must read only Gov
eminent controlled newspapers
must listen only to Government
sponsored programs and state
ments on the air; must attend only
Government-dictated meetings; we
here in America still are the mas
tiers of our own souls. The Amer
lean people are the masters Of
Government and not it's servants
"Our obligation to all those who
went to the defense Of their coun-
try will never be repaid if we dc
not stand together as Americans
We owe it to them to re-dedicate
ourselves today in perpetuatine
everything worthwhile in Ameri.
can life. We owe it to our fellow
men to strive for the eradication
of un-American activities and
practices. We owe it to our Coun-
try to exert every possible effort
to maintain what is the Land Of
the Free and the Home Of the
Brave"
