Financial Responsibility
Law Effective March list

demands financial responsibility
from all who are involved in ac-
cidents until liability is establish
ed. Thus, a motorist can be in
yolved in an accident caused by
another but must still prove re-
sponsibility by proof of same
within so days of the time of the
accident.
Insurance covering liability or
bond is considered adequate proof
of responsibility. Proof must be
established at the time the State
Registrar of Motor Vehicles de-
mands it. Unless proof is forth
coming suspension of certificate
and license follows. The only ex-
ception under the new law is in
the case of motorist who is
legally parked at the time of an
accident. In this case the full re-
sponsibility lies with the other
motorist.

LETTER

.ETTER
Letter in the mail from a
nice lady who objects ever SO
nicely to our recent piece
about robins. This lady says
that we "ruffled the feathers"
of a great many bird lovers
when we said that Robin Red
breast was a dumb" bird. She
also takes us to task for not
being more appreciative of our
little feathered friends, claim
ing that the West End robins
are smart as all get out. Too,
and the most unkindest cut
of ALL" she says that North
Main street society probably
makes the birds up our way as
dumb as they are!
Well, she may be right in a
sentence or two but, for the
record, we will bet a dozen
Plover eggs that she doesn't
know how much we DO know
about birds. For instance, did
she ever get up at a in the
morning and, armed with
volume of Audubon, slyly
tramp a forest glade in search
of a tiny nut-hatch or a hum
mingbird's nest :? Does she buy
big sack of cracked feed
every fall SO that the jays and
the cardinals can feed all win
ter long?
We like birds-all kinds
and we watch them at our
bird-feeder at the kitchen win
dow as they come one at a
time and of a feather to eat
at our free lunch counter. But
a robin listening for a worm
on a concrete driveway or in
the middle of the street still
seems dumb" to us. You're
welcome!
