RELIEF FOR NORWAY
(Newark Star-Ledger)

With commendable speed, emphasized per-
haps by the agonizng slowness with which mill
tary aid is reaching that beleaguered country, a
group OF Norwegian Americans has organized the
Lake Telemark Norwegian Relief Committee, be-
lieved to be the first of its kind in this country
Not far from Rockaw'ay, Lake Telemark is not a
large place, but it has particular interest for
residents of this section in being the product of
the enterprise of Stephen Bergdal former Verona
councilman
Mr. Bergdal, who is one of the sponsors and
secretary of the new relief group, has evidenced
the same driving force in getting the new or
gsnization going that he has previously shown in
business and municipal affairs Although the
group was only organized Saturday night, he has
already obtained the authorization for further
activity in behalf of the victims of Htlers latest
military venture from Norways official repre-
sentative in this country Minister Wilhelm Nor
ganstierne.
Furthermore, Mr. Bergdal is organizing a
similar committee in this section, and to that end
is holding a meeting Friday at his Verona home,
to which he invites all interested persons. Re-
membering Poland, and considering the horrible
treatment which its civilians are undergoing un-
der the heel of the Nazi invader one can only
wish him the greatest success in establishing a
group which VIII junction swiftly and efficiently

OUR TRAFFIC HAZARDS

Collision cf two automobiles at South
ard and Francis streets Monday again
drew attention to our traffic hazards A
stranger, driver of one of the cars involved
in the accident which sent Key Wester
to the hospital, informed police he was
unaware Southland street is a through
street, so he drove against the side of
another caF3d
why didn't that stranger, and all
other strangers driving in Key West, know
that Southland is through street? Be-
cause of the backward Key West method
of marking such thoroughfares, or because
they are rot marked at all at some
points.
Lately the city council had stop signs
painted on the pavement at important in
tersections and along through streets.
Those signs are still visible-if the motorist
strains his eyesight or looks down instead
of to the right where he has been trained
to look when approaching an intersection.
Stop signs in other cities are almost en-
tirely at the right of the approach to street
intersections. They are placed on stand
moterist. =. ..
In KeyaWest there seems to be some
strong objection to the use of such stop
signs, for certainly, in the long run, they
/ would be more effective IN preventing in
tersection collisions and in keeping down
maintenance charges. Painted signs on the
pavement soon wear out, or get dirty and
are obscured. Stop signs must be placed
on standards where they may be seen and
needed.
If the city is unable to pay the cost of
such signs, some effort should be made to
have them built by the NYA. 1t seems
likely the NYA would build such signs if
the city supplied the materials. 1t would
be good work project for the boys and
sound method of solving problem.
Of course some of our very smartest
drivers will always refuse to obey stop
signs no matter of what material or where
they are placed Shooting through stop
streets is regarded by some drivers as the
best way to get nowhere in hurry. They
ere usually the drivers who sound their
horns at intersections instead of using
their steering wheels and what few brains
they have; who usually swing far to the
left before making right turn or vice
versa; who usually cut corners especially
at Blind intersections where they can't see
what traffic is approaching the same cor
ners, or who pull away from the curb into
the line of traffic without observing whe-
ther another car is approaching.
Signs or no signs we'll always have
the screwball drivers with u.s. but proper
signs properly placed will keep the SEN
sible stranger from entering through
street without stopping or going the wrong
way in our only one-way street.
