vited Montana motorists to join
the statewide effort to put Mon
tana's automobiles in good me-
chanical condition. This vehicle
maintenance program, sponsored
by all official and non-official
groups, is being conducted thru
out May.
"a motorist has no more right
to drive a mechanically unsafe
car than he has to walk down the
street brandishing a loaded re-
volver. In fact, the unsafe car
could be a greater menace, since
its lethal nature is less obvious, y
the Patrol said.
The Patrol pointed out that the
alibi, 81 didn't know my brakes
were in such bad shape" doesn't
excuse a fatal automobile accident
any more than the alibi, 81 didn't
know the gun was loaded" ex-
cuses a fatal shooting.
It's every drivers duty to know
exactly what condition his auto
mobile is in, and there's no ex-
cuse for ignorance on this point.
According to the Patrol, a driver
should keep checking his car con-
Stantly for the more obvious dan
ger points. This is easy and simple.
A quick walk around the a can
show if the lights are working.
The windshield wiper, the horn
and the mirror can be checked
from the drivers seat. A brief ex-
animation of his tires will disclose
excessive wear. Loss of brake eff
fIclency shows up in ordinary
driving.
But no driver should be salts
fled with these surface checks. He
should have his car checked regu-
larly by a qualified mechanic. On
these checks the following points
should be carefully checked. Head
lights, rear and stop lights, brakes,
tires, steering mechanism, wind
shield wipers, muffler, and ex-
haust system, window glass, horn
and rearview mirror.

DAY, 1855

MOTHERS DAXs $500
Miss Mary Cowles SaSseen, a
Kentucky school teacher, is given
credit by many authorities for
having originated Mothers Day.
Others believe that Miss Anna M.
Jarvis, of Philadelphia, originated
Mothers Day in 1907.
1t is generally accepted that Miss
Sasseen made little attempt to
promote national observance of
the day and that Miss Jarvis did,
and, therefore, Miss Jarvis did
much to put the idea over in the
United States.
Miss Jarvis mother died in 1906,
and Miss Jarvis arranged to have
the pastor of Andrews Methodist
Church, at Grafton, West Virginia
- the home town of her mother
conduct a service on May IL, 1907,
dedicated to all mothers in Taylor
County.
The next year, 1908, the service
was repeated and a similar one
was held in Philadelphia, and.
from then on, the custom began
to grow. Finally, in 1914, Congress
specified the second Sunday in
May as Mothers Day.
Florists took quick advantage
of the opportunity to make it {
business event, and began the sale
Of carnations, which had beer
first distinguished in Taylor
County, West Virginia, on Moth
er's Day. Miss Jarvis broke with
the florists, outraged at the idea
that business would be connected
with Mothers Day and denounced
them. She proposed the wearing O
a button, instead.
Mothers Day is, of course, com
mercialized, as is Christmas anC
most of our holidays.

DIR sALK,s REDISTRIBUTION

DR.. Jonas Salk has made a great
er contribution to the health Of
mankind than most people realize
when he perfected a polio vaccine.
DR.. Salk not only relieved most
of the country's children from the
threat of Gripping polio, but he
opened up an approach to the pre-
vention which may bring about
major achievements in the near
future.
More important, perhaps, than
his vaccine was the method of pre-
pairing the vaccine. Many research
workers believe that opens the
way to a whole field of develop
ment in the immunization cate
CORY.
AS a result, a number of diseases,
which have been resistant to pre-
ventives or cures up until now,
may be controlled by a vaccine.
Presently, the general expectation
is that colds and influenza may be
the first to fall before this type
of vaccine, but there is no certain
ty, of course, what the next sue
cessful vaccine developed will be.
There is little doubt that DR.,

lives is that of accidents, and it
is surprising to note that acct
dents cause far more deaths among
children than even the most dis
astrous disease.
The United States Public Health
Service recently reported that, in
the last year in which complete
figures were available, accidents
killed more than twice as many
children as did the leading di-
sease killer-influenza and pneu-
monia.
Following influenza and pneu-
monia were congenital malforma-
tons and then cancer and intesti-
naly diseases, as leading causes of
death among children.
Many accidents r attributable
to lack of proper parental super
vision while young children are
either at play or idle. We call this
to the attention of parents, with
the view that a little more thought
and planning and proper supervi-
sion will save the lives of many
children.
When one considers the fact that
disease usually strikes children
down despite everything parents
can do, and know to do, and care
less accidents are preventable ano
attributable to parental neglect
the high toll of accidental deaths
among children is something
which should be given sober con-
sideration.

MAY, 1855
Springs last born darling, clear
eyed, sweet,
Pause a moment, with twink
ling feet,
And golden locks in breezy play,
Half teasing and half tender to
repeat,
Her song of MAY.
Susan Coolidge
With the arrival of May, once
again arrives the mystery of the
origin of the name. The most
widely accepted theory is that the
name of May comes from mai, the
mother of Mercury.
The month of May contains
many memorable dates in u his
tory. First, there is the celebra-
ton of May Day, which is held
in many colleges and schools, and
the custom of selecting May
Queens. The custom probably be-
gan in England, as a survival of
the Roman festivals.
The Battle of Manila Bay was
fought on May 1st, 1898. That bat
tie won ascendancy for the United
States fleet against the Spanish
in the Asiatic theater and is re-
membered for Dewey's famous or
der, "You may fire when you are
ready, Gridley."
Many Americans will remember
the sinking of the liner, Lusitania,
which occurred on May z, 1915,
and which did much to turn senti-
ment against the Kaiser's Ger
many in World War I.
The first transcontinental rail-
road was completed on May 10th,
1869, meeting at Promontory Point,
! Utah. The rails were spiked with
a silver spike, supplied by Nevada
and an iron, silver and gold spike
provided by Utah, and a gold spike
provided by California.
The annual observance of Moth
er's Day, of course, falls on the
second Sunday, and dates from
1907. Miss Anna M. Jarvis, OF
Philadelphia, is responsible fol-
gaining national acceptance of the
day, although Miss Mary T. Sas-
seen, a Kentucky schoolteacher
probably arranged for the first
observance of the day, in 1906
A famous day which many
Americans will never forget is
that of May 10th, 1927. On thai
day, Charles Augustus Lindberg
took off from New York and, or
the next day, May 21st, having
covered an estimated distance Of
$500 miles in thirty-three anc
one-half hours, landed in Paris
Memorial Day, an important
national holiday, falls on May 80
1t is observed by most states anC
dates back to 1868. The day origi-
mated because of a custom, fol
lowed largely in the South i'm
mediately after the Civil War, o.
decorating the graves of those kill
ed during the war. Finally, Gen
John A. Logan, of the Grand Army
of the Republic, issued an order
which made May 30th a day o.
observance for the purpose o.
decorating the graves of com
rades."
May also contains two grea.
sports classics - the Kentucky
Derby and the indianapolis 500.
mile speedway race. It is also the
last month of school for million.
of youngsters, and the last full
month of spring.
