One Third OF
Life Is Spent
In A Bedroom

Eight hours a day for life is
a long time TO spend in one
place-yet most of us can expect
to spend at least one-third of
our lives in our bedrooms" says
Josephine Cusick, extension
home development specialist at
State College.
If you add to this the time
you might spend in your room
reading, writing, and relaxing,
its easy to see how well worth
your while it is to make this
room as completely liveable and
inviting as all the other rooms in
your home.
There was time when bed
rooms were uninviting by day
and uncomfortable at night. Too
often they served as a catch-all
for odd pieces of furniture and
had little in common with other
rooms in the house. What a hap
Ply contrast is the bedroom of
today with its comfort, convent
ence and beauty!
A bedroom is the one room
in home that can be made as.
individual as a signature. 1t can
be an outlet for all the ideas and
plans a person might have.
Careful planning is important
If one is to have a sleeping unit
TO be proud of, Miss Cusick
points out. The bed, of course, is
the major item and should be
placed for comfort and convent
ence. For ease in bedmaking.
Miss Cusick suggests that you
leave at least l8 inches of free
space on either side of the bed.
A bedside table and a good
reading light will add TO the
comfort and convenience, Miss
CuSick adds. Small accessories
like pillows, pictures, and a rug
are not necessary. but they
would add color and beauty and
help complete its appearance.

America has the highest living
standard in the world. The ma
tons standard of dying-waste-
full, unnecessary dying-is also
untquaalled, for last year 80, 800
persons were killed in traffic
accidents.
National Safety Council fig
lures show that, in 1856, carnage
on the highways continues to
mount - traffic deaths in July
hit a new high of $3.50, and
highway fatalities for the first
seven months of the year topped
all previous marks with a total
of 2l,73O.
To Il great many people, sta
tlstics are boring-but these
NSC figures concern every man,
woman and child in the United
States. No one can afford to be
bored by figures that disclose
the vital statistics of life and
death on Americas highways.
There is no single, overall
reason for the highway slaught-
er recorded daily in the nations
press. Many human factors are
involved - including drinking,
careleSsnesS, inattention, DELHI
crate risk-taking, fatigue and
faulty vision. But other reasons
are also important.
Foremost among these non
human factors is the condition
of most rural roads-the roads
that carry most of Americas
automotive traffice. These roads,
the majority of which were laid
down just after World War One,
were not designed for the traffic
they bear today. They are, for
the most part, narrow, poorly
surfaced and inadequately
marked and signed for even
driving safety.
NSC figures show that three
fourths-or, 28,55O-of the traf-
fic deaths in 1855 occurred from
accidents in rural areas and in
towns under $500 population.
The NSC makes the further
point that might driving is con-
Siderably more hazardous than
day driving, and the hazard is
greater in rural areas than in
urban areas"
One obvious means of reduc-
ing death and destruction on our
rural roads is to work for the
modernization of existing roads
through local, state and national
groups, and through representa-

IF America Could See

There can be no doubt as to the
ultimate success of the Red Cross emer-
gency. drive for Hungarian relief. 1t is
hard to understand, however, why the
campaign is tagging behind expectations
OF national and local Red Cross officials.
The cause is so pressing and so heart
rending that the fund should have been
oversubScribed by now-instead of being
far short of national and local goals.
After two weeks, the national drive is
less than third of the way toward the
$5-million target and the District chapter
is only about half way to its minimum
goal" of $4,000.
Red Cross officials believe that pre-
occupation of the people with prepara-
lions for the Christmas season has been
a factor in slowing up the campaign.
Furthermore, the immediacy of the need
for aid of the Hungarian patriots and
refugees left little time for organizing the
special fund appeal, And because the
Red Cross moved only when the urgency
OF the demand for its services became
clear, the first impact of the shocking
ordeal which liberty-Seeking Hungarians
were enduring may have begun to wear
of by the time the President announced
the drive.
But the ordeal of the tank-defying,
self-sacrificing Hungarian people is not
at an end. Daily reports from the Soviet
ridden country bring fresh news of the
courageous battle of the indomitable
Hungarians to throw off the yoke of
Russian oppression. AS the fight goes on
in the streets and in the hills, the number
Of victims needing food, clothing, shelter
and medical care continues to soar. Just
received at national headquarters Of the
Red Cross is a telegram from John C.
Wilson, field director in Austria, stating
poignantly: Il have seen need as I've
never seen 1t before I'm sure that If
America could see what is here, there
would be no question that the fund
would be generously contributed to-"
We are busy with Christmas shopping
and mailing, it is true. But who among
us, after reading Of the incredible
bravery and dire sufferings of the heroes
and heroines of Budapest, can fail to find
time to respond to the Red Cross plea for
emergency donations?

Internal Affair

Foreign Minister Imre Horvath has
marched his delegation out of the Gen
eral Assembly in protest against what he
calls United Nations interference in Hun
gary's internal affairs.
In a sense he is right. 1t is an in
ternal affair in the sense that it is only
Hungarians who have been slaughtered,
only Hungarian bid for little freedom
which has been brutally Snuffed out with
the aid of Russian soldiers, guns and
tanks. But Mr. Horvath is as wrong as
a man can be If he thinks that the bloody
crime which has been committed in Hun
gary is of no concern to the rest Of the
world, Perhaps, in other days, the world
might have closed its eyes while this
barbarous business was under way. But
times have changed and the lessons have
been learned. We know now that the
enslavement of a few people is the legi-
innate concern of all, that mass suppress
sion is not an internal affair, and that
II nothing more is done, the facts at least
can and must be put on the record where
all can see and understand them.
Mr.. Horvath complains that a num-

gracefully offended" Hungary's puppet
government. Assuming this to be the
case, 1t is fact which is greatly to the
credit OF those U. N. delegations, includ-
ing our own, which have not hesitated to
stand up and denounce the criminal acts
OF the Hungarian government and its
Russian overlords
There are those who say that denun-
citation is futile thing. that 1t neither
comforts the Hungarian people nor re-
strains their oppressors But it is the
best thing, short of armed Intervention
and a probable all-enguIfing war, that
can be done. Nor do We believe that
denunciation is a mere futility. It was
not futility which drove Mr. Horvath
TO gather up his papers and stalk out Of
the U. N. Rather, he left because he
knew that he could not stay and answer
the grim indictment which was being re-
turned against his country.
We believe that there is such a thing
as a world conscience. a world opinion,
which needs only to be informed OF the
facts and given time in order to impose a
certain restraint upon the architects Of
such criminal affairs as that which has
been witnessed in Hungary. We hope,
therefore, that the U. N. will proceed with

Encouraging Transit Trend

There is measure of announcement
for everybody in the latest report on
transit riding trends in Washington. The
d. c. Transit System has noted a small
increase in the number of streetcar and
bus riders for October over totals for the
same month a year ago. Even allowing
for certain factors which should be con-
sidered in making the comparison, the
fact remains that transit here is showing
signs of life, whereas many systems else
where are said to be dying.
The report to the Public Utilities
Commission showed a 18 per cent in
crease in passengers over October of 1855.
However, october of 1855 contained one
more week end than that of the 1856
period-and week ends always bring lag
in riding Furthermore. the figures last
year probably were affected adversely by
the aftermath of the long strike against
the Capital Transit Company. The former
management warned that the strike
would cost the company a considerable
number Of regular passengers, because Of
changed riding habits Some Of these
defectors undoubtedly had begun return
W StEeeJCdIo anu buses before capital
Transit left the local scene. More may
have returned since the new management
took over.
But even when these factors are given
proper weight, the transit outlook is
somewhat brighter than 1t has been in
long time. For the transit industry at
large is still on the toboggan The aver
age national trend has been per cent
loss in passengers every year Only New
York and Chicago. which have subsidized
rapid transit systems, have shown any
leveling of or increase II may well be
that our own transit system finally has
reached the bottom Of the downward
curve and that current efforts TO attract
more passengers will bring turn for the
better. Any increase In patronage, how
ever small, will help 70 resuscitate the
system. which Is badly in need OF a shot
IN the arm.

Free-Loncer's License

So Washington's free-lance
writer's may have to take out
$25-a-year licenses?
1t seems to me was taught
in local university course en-
titled Municipal Government
and Management of the Dis
trict of Columbia" that the
only purpose of any license fee
is to reimburse the city for
the cost of supplying the in
Spection service necessary to
enforce public safety regula-
tons.
I have never heard of the
D. c. government maintain
ing a crew of inspectors to
look in upon the premises or
operating methods used by
free-lance writers. Is the city
planning to establish such a
unit? If so, at what cost?
The instructor, an official
of the D. c. Budget Office, said
that the cost of any business
license is merely the pro rata
share of each licensee of the
total cost of inspection of
businesses of the same nature.
Does anyone know how many
free-lance writers Washington
has, or how many inspectors
would be necessary to keep
them all in line, or what the
salaries of the inspectors would
be? If not, how was the $25-
a-year fee arrived at?
Let's return to fundamentals.
If this is a special tax aimed at
only one segment Of the popu-
lation, let's call it that. If it is
imposed as a license fee. I
