nine inckees in depth. The storm had

ssThis coming year I'd like to be a
friend to everyone;
I'd like to feel each day well spent
at setting Of the sun;
I'd like to know that I have done
at least cne kindly deed,
Before I lay me down to sleep that
have given heed
To some ones cry for sympathy,
or friendship or that l
Have made the day seem brighter
to some chance passer-by,
And that the world Is better still In
just some little way,
Because I've tried to live the very
best I could each day.
"Pd like to be ray of light when
skies are overcast,
I'D like to help some one who failed
to blot out all the past,
To start again despite the storms,
and find the skies are blue,
To know that in this good old world
there's lots that's fine and true,
I'd like to. be the kind Of person
everyone will love,
And make the world seem just a
little more like heaven above;
I'd like in all my dealings to be true
and just and fair,
That God will help me do these
things shall be my daily prayer"

Milestone In
Highway Traffic

"a milestone in highway travel is
reached at midnight Monday-New
Years Eve-by the nearly 100000
Maryland motorists, when the States
New Motor Vehicle Safety RESPONSE
bility Law becomes effective" said
w. Lee Elgin, Commissions of Motor
! Vehicles.
Introducing a strong state policy
regarding financial responsibility for
traffic accidents, the new law pro-
poses to assure payment of damages
or to remove driving and registration
privileges of those who fail to pay"
Although not compulsory insur-
ance in the sense that the owner or
driver of car must have insurance
in order to obtain registration plates
or a drivers license, the law imposes
severe requirements upon financially.
irresponsible owners and operators
who become involved in traffic acct
dents after December 81.
''Tkis new measure has real teeth
in it, and it proposes stern penalties
for those who fail to recognize their
responsibility or those who seek to
avoid its requirements. Some, no
doubt, may be tempted to call it's
provisions harsh. But considered
much more harch are the tragic cir
cumstances that arise when no pro-
lection or responsibility exists. This
stringent regulation is not merely ad-
visable but unacceptable.
hn hok
Legislature of this State, in design
ing many of thte laws provisions,
have been engaged in pioneer work.
They are blazing new trails for the
more finished traffic regulations of
the future. 1t would be strange in
deed, if either they or the public were
fully satisfied with all of the laws
detailed provisions as they now
stand. Changes and improvements,
based on practical experience, will be
made. However, it is confident that
this act, and it's broad aims and gen.
eral methods, is sound and that it
will go far in relieving the past dis
tressing conditions.
"This New Motor Vehicle Safety
Responsibility Law was written, and
passed unanimously by our Maryland
General Assembly, to give every man,
woman and child in this State great
er protection against the growing
menace of the street and highway ac-
cident, and to compensate in reason
able measure, those who are victims
of accidents, and the losses that they
suffer.
''The law is an honest effort to
protect all of the people gainst the
! dread results of careless or reckless
driving, without resorting to the
more drastic measures of a total COM
pulsory automobile liability insur-
ance statute.
Under this law, you are not re-
quired to take out motor vehicle liza
bility insurance. But, if you are in
volved in an accident resulting in
death or injury, or property damage
in the excess of $50, you must post
security for damages caused by the
accident.
LAS the title indicates, the law has
two genearl aims; first to establish
financial responsibility on the high
ways by requiring that anyone who
owns or operates car shall pay for
damages he causes to otker, or forfeit
his driving license and registration
plates; secondly, to serve as an in
centive for better driving by increas-
ing the motorists stake in safety and
placing premium on good driving
records"

 Gettel did the tossing yesterday and everybody except Frank Cro- setti and Oscar Grimes did the hitting in a 15-blow onslaught against Cleveland. Detroit stumbled before Boston, go, as Candy Hex lin, another discharged service man, broke a five-game losing streak with his first big show triumph.
 Chicago continued to make life miserable for the high class folks up front by humbling Washington on Thornton Lees Six-hit effort. Milt Byrnes' homer in the eleventh inning of a 14-13 second game, fol- lowing Nelson Potter's five-blow, 2-1 job in the first, enabled St. Louis to sweep both ends of a doubleheader from Philadelphia.
 In the other circuit, Al Javery and Don Hendrickson teamed up on the Chicago Cubs to trim Hank Borcwy, with Tommy Holmes driv- ing in both Boston runs. St. Louis had another big inning in the Polo Grounds, scoring four in the third, on homers by Ken O'Dea and Red Schoendienst, to topple New York's Bill Voiselle.
 Brooklyn gained a full lap on the Cubs by routing Cincinnati for the fourth straight time, Pittsburgh split with the Phillies in twi- night double, the Pirates scoring 10-2 for Fritz Ostermueller and the Phils grabbing the finale be- hind Oscar Judd.
