Proposal Of Merit

Councilman E. J. Holden came back from California
recently sold 100 percent the idea OF campaign to
bring about safety for pedestrians.
This newspaper joins with Mr.. Holden in the thought
It is 100 percent in favor of such campaign It will pay
off in big way.
The outstanding argument for such campaign is
that it may the lives of human beings If it saves one
fe campaign that will take time and effort is surely
justified But it also will promote the best interests OF
the city, It will to create good feeling between resi-
dents and make good impression upon visitors
Consideration for the pedestrian is gaining in popu-
y every year in this country For long he was neglect
ed You used take your life in own hands when
you ventred out into the streets, whether you were
crossing at intersection elsewhere Now that we
have crosswalks at the main intersections, it becomes
the duty of drivers of trucks and automobiles to give the
pedestrian right of way when he is inside the lines
Although consideration for the pedestrian as gaining
apparently some drivers do not know that he has the
rit of Way at intersections Sometimes drivers speed
by pretty the afoot who often has to step
lively to avoid being struck.
A campaign such was suggested by Mr.. Holden
will not have to be directed against those drivers who
yield the pedestrian will be for those who either in
fentionay or through ignorance of the laws puts the
lives of their fellow human beings in daily jeopardy

A business census of the Tri-City area

Arthur B. Fielder, chief interviewer,

said he could not give tentative compile

The business census program was start
cd in the 192Os under the sponsorship
off the United States Chamber of CONNER
ce and the census bureau.
"a period of nine years has elapsed
since the last census of business" Fielder
declared. 'Those nine years have seen
more and bigger changes in the American
business scene than any similar PERIOD OF
our history. Business needs new and up
to-date information on which to make
decisions, to plan operations, set quotas,
locate facilities, design products, plan
advertising and find markets."
He added there is no way to get this
information except from business itself.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
@. Is there any way I may
get a waiver or an adjustment on
the amount I owe the VA on my
defaulted G. I. loan? The de-
fault resulted through no fault
of my own.
A. A committee on waivers
and compromises has been es-
tablished in each VA regional
office and at Central Office in
Washington, D. c., with author
ity to determine IN each case
whether all or part of the
amount paid in settlement of a
veterans default loan is to be
waived, collected or Otherwise ad-
justed. The Control Office com.
mittee will have original juris-
diction in cases involving more
than $500; the .egicnal office
committee in cases below $500.
