Map of 1900 B. C.

The oldest existing map in the
world is a route map of a mining
district in Nubia, made by Egyp-
tians about 1900 B. c. It is on
papyrus. We r aware that the
Romans surveyed large parts of
their Empire, and had excellent
maps, but not one of these has
survived. The only relic is a 18TH
century copy of a map made for
the Emperor Severus.
The first of modern maps is one
of a part of Switzerland dated
1913. In 1875 Saxton published an
Atlas of England. This was from
actual surveys and contains IS
sheets.
The French government was the
first to start a survey of its whole
country. This began in 1858, but
was not published until 1744. In
1745 the Jacobite rebellion re-
vealed the need of a correct map
of the Highlands of Scotland, and
the work began in 1747, but it was
not until 1871 that Parliament or
dered a survey of England for the
production of a map of one inch
to the mile. This was not COM
pleted until the year 1870.
The first mapping of the United
States occupied AZ years.

Roosevelt's Message
 To 78th Congress
(Continued from Page D

that if we do not pull the fangs of the predatory animals of this world, they will multiply and grow in strength-and they will be at our throats once more in short generation.
 Most Americans realize more clearly than ever before that modern war equipment in the hands of aggressor nations can bring danger overnight to our own national existence or to that of any other nation - or island continent.
 It Is clear to us that if Ger many and Italy and Japan = or any one of them-remain armed at the end of this war, or are per- mitted to rearm, they will again. and inevitably, embark upon an ambitious career of world con- quest. They must be disarmed and kept disarmed, and they must abandon the philosophy and the teaching of that philosophy, which has brought SO much suf- 1eflng to the world.
 After the first World War we tried to achieve a formula for permanent peace, based on magnificent ideal. We failed, but, by our failure, we have learned that we cannot maintain peace at this stage of human development by good intentions alone.
 Mighty Military Power
 Today the United Nations are the mightiest military coalition in history. They represent an overwhelming majority of the pop ulation of the world. Bound to- gether in solemn agreement that they themselves will not commit acts of aggression or conquest against any of their neighbors, the United Nations can and must remain united for the mainten- ance of peace by preventing any attempt to rearm in Germany, in Japan, in Italy, or in any other nation which seeks to violate the tenth commandment-"Thou shalt not covet."
 There are cynics and skeptics who say it cannot be done. The American people and all the free dom-loving peoples of this earth are now demanding that it must be done. And the, will of these people shall prevail.
 The philosophy of the Axis pow CTS is based on profound contempt for the human race. If, in the formation of our future policy, we were guided by the same cynical contempt, then we should be sur- rendering to the philosophy of our enemies, and our victory would tourn to defeat.
 The issue of this war is the basic issue between those who believe in mankind and those who do not the ancient issue between those who put their faith in the people and those who put their faith in dictators and tyrants. There have always been those who did not be- lieve in the people, who attempted to block their forward movement across history, to force them back

Accidents Increased
 In State In November
Registration Figures Also Surprise State Motor
 Vehicle Dept Officials; Report Made Public

1 sumption total of 23,580,350 gallons with the November total of 22,286, ,782 gallons. The difference was 1,293,- 568 gallons, or about five and one half (5.5) per cent.
 As rule November mileage regis ters a much sharper drop when compared with October motor vehi- cle travel, but this year the public was making all possible use of the motor vehicle. Suspension of gaso- line sales during the month is al- legged to have induced a run on gas- oline supplies but, over the several days interval that pumps were idle, it is fair to assume the suspension affected the November consumption adversely.
 Accident Rate
 Traffic conflicts were recorded during November at a rate of 434.2 per hundred million miles of vehicle movement, as compared with 378.1 in the previous month of October. The November incidence rate was 1 the highest since March of 1922 when the rate was 439.4, before the war-effort conservation program got into full swing.
 The November rate always moves up, however, because of natural ac- cident hazards peculiar to the sea- son. The rate for November, 1941, was 725.9, the highest of any month that year. While the November AZ rate seems substantially lower it is still insisted that, considering the war-effort and all related needs and activities, the traffic accident rate is stll much too hgh and des not indicate voluntary action by the public in developing traffic safety through greater individual care in motor vehicle use.
 Fatal accident rate for November was 10.7 as compared with 13.O for November, 1941. While the difference of 2.3 points is appreciated 1t does not seem to meet the situation in view of all the stress that has been placed on conservation of manpower and property as contribution by the average person to victory.
 Registrations
 Connecticut motor vehicle regis trations for the calendar year held up surprising well, the Chief Clerks office reporting, as of December 31, total of 458,191 passenger cars reg istered as compared with 461 ,564 for the same period last year and 54,918 commercial registrations as com- pared with 55,O66 year ago.
 These two claSsificationS, which constitute the bulk of motor vehicle registrations, totalled 513,109 for 1922 as compared with 516,630 for the previous year of 1941 when the department registered peak totals in all phases of its business. The difference of 3,52l units represents considerably less than one dJ per cent reduction in registrations for the calendar year period.
 There is little use referring to av- craze motor vehicle movement in Connecticut as another way of mea- suring mileage. The bulk of traffic today is commercial or semi-bus- iness in character. Obviously, with registration holding up so well and gasoline consumption reduced, there would be marked difference between the assumed individual car movement this year and last. The measure is mere hypothesis, any. way, and serves no useful purpose.
