osity, I've been wondering ever
since why SO many people allow
themselves to be herded in
cities, like cattle in stalls Of the
slaughter houses, when one can
farm, be his own boss, free him
self from the grip of high prices
by producing for his own tables
SO many of the necessities.
Our people coming from Dixie
with knowledge of.farming ought
to be encouraged to buy small
farms OF lease them all ever the
nation. The worst of them offer
more than the restricted and
segregated life of the South.
When the living conditions of
our cities are fully weighed and
the the high death rates con-
sidered, the farm is not only
| productive, it is healthy living.
And the work of a small farm is
not burdenscme, although con-
fining where there is live stock,
Pm sold to the Idea of en-
couraging people to stay close

try. Although the covered wag-

If we can overcome our distaste
to farm life engendered by the
tenant farming system OF the
South, save enough to make a
down payment on a small farm
we will break a link in the eco
nomic chain which binds us
hand and feet.
And with this vision let our
people fan out, especially to
those communities where brown

During the year 1947 our auto
mobiles killed 273 pedestrians
and injured 1908. A year ago this
very month of August our motor
vehicles killed IS pedestrians
and injured 625. This year, lest
8 similar toll be exacted, Regis
trar King has designated August
as Pedestrian Protection month,
| and he is taking strenuous
measures, not only to secure the
full cooperation Of every one in
his own department, but to en-
list the hearty support of the
entire public.
Obviously one Of the first de-
rnands of pedestrian protection
is properly operated and equip
ped autobiles. Accordingly, in
response to the Registrars grave
concern about these figures, his
whole department is in an alert
state OF mobilization to interisi-
ty its continual crusade for
safer highways. All the examin-
ers are scrupulously applying
the high standards Of our Com
naonwealth to make sure that
those who are sent out with new
licenses are able to operate safe

ercise a constant vigilance to

Registry inspectors tie in with
a program of enforcement, and,
whatever necessary, of prosecu-
ton, in order to cut down i'm
proper operators permanently
from behind the wheel. Our Di-
vision of Statistics has at its
fingertips all data that may be
used in safety effort of the dept.
The Division OF Safety Education
makes good use Of such data
and provides public information
for all those interested in our
laws and ordinances and safer
ways of operating cars and
walking. It uses the offers of a

schools and colleges have been
virtually taken over our safety
instructors as part of their own
teaching staffs.All this effort
should contribute generously to
the protection of both motorists
and pedestrians.
The Registrar gratefully recog-
nizes the fine cooperation
of numberless organizations and
departments thereof, without
which the task might well be

thanks and sincere appreciation

is needed namely, the element
of general goodwill If it were
mot true that well over Ninety
i've percent Of the public is with
rs in this effort, all the enforce
Iment authorities in Christendon
could scarcely suffice to make a
noticeable impression, and our
sourulesr labors at safety educa-
ton would fall on deaf ears.
For our motorists, as the sray-
eled ways become more and more
congested, responsibilities in
crease both in number and in
weight. Courtesy, commonsense
and a wide tolerance Of otl1es
people must play major roles.
Let us start early so as to have
time to spare, lest we become the
victims OF unreasonable haste
and nervous impotence. Too
great a speed for the place and
conditions has always been the
the arch-enemy of safe operat-
ing. Let us refrain from diluting
our operation skills with alcohol
- always. Let us not operate
Under the handicap Of deep Ia
tigue. We must make sure Of the
soundness Of our equipment and
be alert and attentive. We should
apply our brakes early and ever
yield readily to the pedestrian.
I'VE ought to be especially careful
TIC see and avoid those who walk
the thoroughfares at night. Ouc
effort should not be just to get
through to our destination, but
to do it safely without forcing,
crowding or stealing the place in
| line of the fellow ahead of US
who got there first. Because we
have our hundred horse power
under cur hoods, we need
more than one-hundred times
the gentllity we regularly exer-
else as pedestrians even to equal
the standard we exhibit when
walking.
As pedestrians also We mus
not be thoughtless or careless,
for our responsibilities here are
heavier than ever before. We
must play the game by the
rules. Please learn to cross
streets only at the corners and
on the croSswalks, and by nc
means ever pop out from before,
behind, or between parked
cars. If in the country we have
to walk in the street, let us walk
always ON the left so as to face
the approaching traffic. We shall

well defeat us if we are care
less. At this delightful summer
season motorists and pedestrians
alike are lured in increasing
numbers out upon our roads. Let
us count our hazards well ami
be prepared to do our best. Do
