Worthy Of Study

DSR COMMISSIONERS at the suggestion of General
l. Manager Fred Nolan studying possible revision
of Detroit bus fares based upon coming This is matter
worthy of sober consideration alike by the commission
and the riding public
Should the DSR adopt the zone system OF graduated
fares merely would be following the practice OF many
other major American cities where the rate OF fare is
determined by the distance Travelled.
1t is the duty, of course, Of the commission to keep
fares as low possible but they also must guard the
financial welbeng of the DSR especially in these days
of mounting costs for everything.
Moreover there is the factor of just apporhonment
Is equitable TO the public who owns the DSR that the
citizen who rides the bus miles daily TO his work
should pay the fare the citizen who rides or 10
miles daily TO his work?

Jim Lynch Of Pontiac

JAMES H. LYNCH was lawyer and politician but
in contrast to the average American politician such
men as he stand out in splendid relief.
They are the who lend dignity and purpose to
politics They are the who hold by their beliefs in
the and simple structure of our form of government
They are the steadfast who led asray never by
the wilo-the-wisp of airy new experiments and lsms
In Oakland County about everybody knew and loved
Jim Lynch In Oakland County for more than hall
century he pursued his modest way building slowly but
surely in the law and in politics monument OF SOLID
respect.
He could have roamed far from Oakland County:
He could through several Democratic have moved
TO high place in state federal government But Pom.
tac his home and he felt there no place better
in the world
Not for any outstanding feat did jim Lynch gain
distinction II came to him because of the sound charac
behind his flashing personality; because all his long
life without ostentaton he did the things that make
good and honest citizen
Michigan politicians have referred to him for years
as jim Lynch of Pontiac He that to be sure but
a better eptaph would be jim Lynch OF Michigan.

west Detroit, who are affected
by the presence OF the north
west Dawson avenue incinerater
plant, are most indignant,
John II. Witherspoon has
stated that no complaints have
been received regarding this in

complaints have been made.

And another thing in

was supposed to he closed. but
in a panic the boys rushed down
10 Lansing and managed a stay
of such Injunction pleading that
il would work n hardship 10 the
city and be detrimental TO health
conditions.
Yet our health is not con-

never give us any help because
we are all working for one
boss or I'VE can't go against
another department of the city
of Detroit"
But i was assured at one time
from that honorable department
that If IL were a commercial
institution causing nuisance that
the city would close it within
"a hours.
So they got away with that
and for II months have operated,
blithely believing that no one
could interfere with their plans.
However, the decision is
against them. They arc not sup
posed TO operate except without
being a nuisance TO the surround

That is impossible, as any one
knows that garbage smells bad
under any conditions. But giving

Why didn't he and his boys get

could be realized? No, they just
ran along, and when they run

close their eyes and feel their

License Revelations
Are Empty Penalties
Theme IS somothing serlousIy wrong

THERE Is something seriously wrong with the sNs-
i tenn invoked by Dctro-and the state~to make
certain that motorists whose drivers licenses nave neeh
revoked do not continue driving their cars ne system
does not work and motorists continue to drive thel
Latest example of how the system fails involves
1q-vearold Detroit youth. year ago ne was con,
vced of reckless driving, his license was revoked ana
he wes placed on years probation
Yet he continued TO drive and seven months later
while speeding at 20 miles hour, according to wit
neszos he down and killed 6-year-od girl IN OAK
land County.
Charged with negligent homicide and released on
bail he continued to drive-bady, of course so badly
that has been arrested and given Jail terms twice IN
the last month.
FROM an enforcement standpoint the worst thing
I about this case is that Pontiac authorities did not
know the Youths license had been revoked in Detroit
before he killed the girl there And Detroit authorities
did not know that he had been involved IN fatal
accident.
a first offender and Detroit authorities thought they
were dealing with recalcitran youth not death driver
There was interchange of information such as
there should have been, to apprlse hoh 'etroit ana
Pontiac authorities that they dealing with danger
Gus motorst who should be drastcay kept from driving
This is not isolated case.
ONLY week ago another motorist with record
~ as bad as this boys sentenced for killing two
chidren-after he had been convicted three times OF
reckless driving
He continued to drive because the oenses occurred
in different counties Again there was no interchange OF
information and the authorities did not realize that this
man behind wheel was as dangerous as holdup man
with gun
This condition sholid not continue. Surely, 1t is not
an impossible task to up central clearing house where
the names of all who have had their licenses re-
voked or who have been convicted of serious traffic
offenses. be recorded
Until This is done motorists who should be barred
from the streets will continue to dpeand continue to
kill people.

is symbolical of Americas capacity
to produce the finest and most ad-

This particular flying marvel,

good stead in the future when they
design and build even larger and
more powerful flying machines. A
ship of war, its greatest contribu-
tion to the human race may lie in
being a forerunner of the huge new

The successful completion of this
