PROMPTNESS

Every job that is done
promptly affords an abid-
ing satisfaction. A man
builds up his reputation for
reliability when he prompt
ly keeps his engagements.
And reliability or depend
ability adds to stability of
character.
You hear or know of this
or that man who has not
succeeded in his calling in
life, and you may be sure
that one of his faults is pro-
crastination. He has some
thing to do that should be
done today, and he puts it
off until tomorrow, and
when tomorrow comes it is
postponed till the next day.
The more we procrastl-
nate the more prone we are
to procrastinate. Conversely,
the more prompt we are in
doing things we have to do,
the easier it is for us to dc
them.
Worrying or brooding ov-
er work to be done is more
tiresome than doing the
work. Besides, every time we
worry the greater is the tax
on our nervous system.
A good many OF us con
tract the habit of procrastl-
nation to so great an extent
that even the simplest things
in life are put off from day
to day. One would think
that money would be a suf-
ficient incentive to break
the grip of procrastinatlon
but, as was reported in The
Citizen Wednesday, 10 men
knew they had money com
ing to them for jury service
and postponed from day to
day their calling at the CIR
cult clerks office for it. And
it would not be surprising if
they let the deadline pass,
as has been done in other
cases many a time, and lose
the money that was coming
to them.
Contracting the habit of
promptness is just as easy as
contracting the habit of pro-
crastination. Do a thing
when it should be done, and
the doing is easy. We fume
and fret only when we put
off doing. a duty from day to
day. T.

TRAFFIC FATALITIES
DECLINE

II .
It is interesting to learn
of the steady reduction in
traffic fatalities, and that
1916, which earlier in the
year gave promise of setting
a peak record, may not turn
out so badly.
Ned H. Dearborn, Presi-
dent of the National Safety
Council, says that 1941 was
the peak accident year, but
that although driving risks
are Writ a lily doubled
through the use of thou
sands Of average cars, road
fatalities 81 nee May, have
been about twenty per cent
below tn e corresponding
months of 1941.
1t is interesting to no t e,
according to Mr.. Dearborn,
that in 1941, with more new
vehicles than ever before,
there was a peak accident
rate. This leads him to the
conclusion that there is more
to the driver than there is to
the car in connection with
the effort to attain safety
on the highways.
