Since the advent of radio, the
freedom from noise, distortion, in
reference and fading has been
sought in vain; however, FIN has
cured all four of these ills. You will
hear but one station at time, crys-
tai clear, against a background of
silence, with no intrusion from sta
tions hundreds of miles away
There will be no fishing around try
ing for a station that was on your
dial last night but gone now, COW
cred up with lot of monkey chat
ter and static. The stations you lis
tened to last week will be there
this week-next week-next month
and next year-clear and ready to
bring you enjoyable entertainment
To the technical minded, FIN
means Frequency Meditation to
the millions of music lovers who
make up the vast radio audience it
means Finer Music.

our COMMON INTERESTS
BY Ruth Taylor

Common suffering YIELDS together
people of different nationaLties as
though they were members of the
same family. Common aims bind
together people Of different faiths.
Common ambitions coordinate tn e
actions of people Of different back
grounds
After all, what does common mean?
According to the dictionary it is
usual, average. regular, a n d per-
tanning to or participated in by all'
There must be no division in a de-
mocracy. A very great man once
said: The foundation of unity is
the equality of status of the citizens"
In short, if law is to be effective it
must be applied always, everywhere
and to all.
We have learned from bitter ex-
perience that to be truly free, men
must have the assurance for all alike
of an opportunity TO work as free
men in the company Of free men.
No man can be confident in perpet-
uity of his W safety unless and
until every man, woman and child is
equally safe.
Common ambition is working to-
gether toward the same goal -
prize which will be shared Rival
ambition is striving for a goal which
must be seized for the benefit Of the
one and the detriment Of the other.
Will we lot rival ambitions separate
us?
If we are to fuiiH our duty as Am
orleans, we must, without setting a.
side any Of our Individual rights,
work together in our community or
communal life, TO carry out the
ideals Of democracy, to see to it that
there are opportunities for each
man to advance according to his tall
ents and abilities, to extend a friend
~ hand to those who need help. to
keep the laws which we ourselves
have made. Only faith behind de
mocracy can foster the common viz
tues which are necessary for self
govcrnu mt and for tine preservation
of our unity.
Centuries ago EuIipides stated it
thus:
Look to the things Of God.

Learning How to Drive

The bill introduced by Representative
Beall, Republican, of Maryland to create
a new class Of automobile drivers licenses
to be known as restricted learners per-
nits" is designed to overcome difficulty
which has prevented District school au-
thorities from establishing driver-tra1nlng
courses in all the high schools. AT pres
ent such courses are available in only the
vocational high schools.
An offer by the Traffic Advisory Board
of the American Automobile Association 10
supply all the high schools with dual
control instruction cars, free OF charge
has not been accepted by School Super
intendent Corning because student TAX
ing the course would have had to pay
three dollars for a learners permit. School
officials feel that this is an unfair require
ment insofar as school children are
concerned
Under the Beall bill students taking the
driver training course would be issued
special permits at no cost, the permits
to be restricted for use only in such a
training program This is a desirable
step in the interest of traffic safety. Acct
dent figures for the Nation show that more
serious automobile accidents are charged
to youths in the sixteen-to-eighteen year
group than in any other age group. And
studies have shown that this group, for
the most part has received little or no
expert training in the operation of a car.
Many of these young drivers are self
taught through the trial and error
method, with or without the indulgence
of their parents.
Washington has Jagged behind some OF
the more enlightened communities In deal
ing realistically with the youth-at-the-
wheel problem. The institution Of driver
training courses in the senior high schools
is an intelligent approach that has been
too long delayed here. Mr.. Beall's interest
in the program should help to get it
started
