SAVING LIVES ON OUR HIGHWAYS

There are, perhaps, many thousands
ways in which an automobiles or
pedestrian can die in connection with high
way accidents
You can't possibly know all of the
tentaces that sudden death teaches after
you as you speed along the highway, whiz-
gzing nowhere in particular at sixty miles an
hour. 49, AZ -
There is only one defense against all
the hazards Of motoring, So far as you are
responsible for your own safety. That Is to
drive carefully at all times and obey traffic
regulations implicitly.
OF course, many thousands of Amer
leans are killed and injured every year
while driving sanely and carefully. They
are the victims of careless, irresponsible
and lawless drivers who make motoring a
hazard
Pedestrians die by the hundreds every
month because they dared to use the high
way despite the danger that speeding driy-
ers might not see them as they marched
along or crossed arteries of traffic. Some
Of them invite their fate by taking UNI
necessary risks, BY disregarding regula--
tions designed for their protection and by
] carelessly risking their lives before speed
ling vehicles.
1t is time for all traffic authorities to
make q determined effort to enforce all
traffic regulations. No matter how minor
violation may be the guilty motorist
should be apprehended and punished. By
the same reasoning an offending pedes-
trian likewise, should be compelled to obey
traffic regulations.
The prompt and permanent enforce
ment of traffic regulations, including signs
along the roadway would do much to
make the public safety conscious The
man or woman driver or pedestrian, who
is fined few dollars for failure to obey the
laws Of the road, will soon come to the
point of observing the rules, if only to
avoid the penalty
In the long run, such campaign for
enforcement Of safety regulations, will do
something toward saving the lives of some
of the hundred persons who are killed
every day on our highways.

VITAL WAR QUESTIONS

OF more concern to the United States
and Britain than anything else at this time
is, How much Of Germany's oil reserves
and other vital supplies are being used up
in the Russian campaign? All other con-
siderations are minor, compared with this
question.
There are other unanswered questions
which are highly important, Of course,
among them being these: What is the ex-
tent Of the damage being done to German
port facilities, synthetic oil plants, NUM-
tons plants, railroads, shipbuilding yards,
vessels in ports and many other detectives?
What Of Germany's supplies Of food, cloth
ing and fuel? What is being done by the
conquered peoples in the way of sabotage
and other forms of resistance?
And perhaps equally important is the
condition of German morale generally, both
in the armed forces and among the civilian
population. In the long run, this may be
the most decisive question of all, but for
the present it is safest to assume that the
Germans still have the will to continue the
struggle.
Reverting to the Russian campaign, it
may be said that from a realistic point of
view the Soviet losses in men, material and
territory are important to the United
States and Britain only if they enable Hit
Ter to obtain the oil, grain and other sup
plies which he must have to replace what
he is expanding in his campaign.
Russia is not likely to defeat the Nazi
armies on the battlefield, but she may
cause Germany to lose the war by gripping
her so that Britain, with Americas help,
can finish the JOB.
