10 Ridhf-Hand Traffic
BY the Associated Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec.
About four years hence, motor
tourists from the United States
will feel right at home on Swed-
iSh highways.
Sweden has decided to switch
from left to. right-hand traffic
at 4 am, June Z. 1859.
1t sounds simple.
But the government estimates
it will cost $43 million dollars
just to revamp driving controls
of street cars and buses and to
alter traffic markings. It plans
to finance the changeover by
boosting the price of gasoline
And it will take time to get
SWedes used to using the right
side of the road. Britain and
Greece are the only other Euro
pean countries which still have

Washington An Example

In the last years of his life and the first
years after his DEATH political feeling in
the country between the parties was so
strong that some of the obserVances sug-
gested for WashngtonS birthday ami
versary were denounced as political dem
onstrations Only slowly did the nation
come to recognize its founder, and military
hero, as his services to his country merited.
After he died on December 18th, 1899,
the Compensation meeting in Philadel-
phla-proposed that February IL, 1900 be
observed throughout the country with ex-
ercises in honor of the first President of
the country. This congressional proposal
was widely acted upon and exercises were
held in the principal cities.
Thereafter observance of Washingtons
birthday spread rapidly and, today observ-
ance Of the anniversary of the birth of our
first President, and military hero, is general
throughout the nation. This is appropriate
since Washington is often moderated both
as a general and as President Every
American citizen owes as much to Wash
ngton, or more for his freedom and the
independence of his country as to any
other American hero.

Rumors Are Flying

What's the best way to deal
with rumor? In these times
when suspicious and half-truths
are especially rife this is a vital
question.
There is one sure method tax
ing the trouble to find out the
truth Although not always easy,
it pays off in that pleasant feel
ing Of a good store OF nicely fold
ed facts laid away for reference
in place of an untidy clutter Of
Wadded rumors.
At Stalings Field in North
Carolina there is an aviation
corporation which thinks con-
structively about such things
Rumors fly there, as they usually
do in large organizations. But in
this plant they are exposed. The
MANAGEMENT has installed what
it calls the "rumor factory"
In a small building Is housed
a large bulletin board with a two
column sheet. Anyone hearing a
rumor goes TO the board and
looks over the collection already
there to see If this is an old one.
If it is new, he writes it i'll the
rumor column The personnel di-
rector peeks at the board regular

II there is one American whose courage
and fortitude during years Of hardship
and Encouragement gave the nation its OPP
portulty to achieve greatness, through in
dependence, it was General George Wash
ington. The nations first President, and the
General who won a war against Great
Britain to make the colonies indepen-
dent of that nation, is rightly remembered
each February 22nd and honored as the
Father Of His Country.
However, the proper observance Of
Wsfshington's birthday anniversary did not
come about overnight after his death The
colonies and the states were slow to recog-
niZe the magnitude of the accomplishment
and contribution Of General Washington.
Not only had he won independence for the
colonies, he had served as the first Presi-
dent and he had set the precedent for a two
term limit for Chief Executives.
VI oreov er, he had established the
foundation principles of American govern
ment-one Of them being staying out Of
the affair Of other nations. That policy was
the wisest course for the young nation at
that time and this doctrine allowed the
country to grow and prosper during its

Persistence Wins

But this year the British team Won Ben
Johnson I. S. team captain said, after the
stunning defeat, that Uncle Sans players
weren't at their best but he acknowledged
the fact that the British team had played
an unbeatable game.
Thus, after twenty years Of solid adver-
sity the fellows across the pond beat us
from the mark. Like they follow jokes, the
British may be slow in getting even with
the pack, but they hang on somehow and
pull out in front of the field They have
done just that in the international bridge
contest by an 5000 point margin. This is
an example Of persistence.
