Actual Work To
Start Soon; Must
Have Proof First

The Madison Press Printing
Company was the successful bid
der for printing the ballots for the
November election to be held in
Madison County in November, ac-
cording to a release from the
Board of Elections this week. Bids
on the job were opened Monday
night at the Board offices in Lon
don. Two other bids were submit
ted for the contract.
The award of the contract to the
Madison Press Printing Company
got unanimous approval by the
Election Board after e Motion by
Donald Rea and a second by Al
len Silver
The contract for printing calls
for 60,420 separate ballots for the
November election, but election
board officials pointed out that the
total number does not indicate the
anticipated total vote in the coun-
ty. The high figure reflects many
separate issues which will be de-
cided in the villages, townships,
school districts and general voting.
The breakdown lists twelve sep
arate tax and bond ballots, five
village ballots, one city office type
ballot, seven Board of Education
ballots, fourteen township ballots,
with county judge and constable
included and the charter commits
sion ballot for London. Also one of
the ballots to go to each voter will
be the constitutional amendment
ballot.
Within the total of the above
figures, So, ,265 regular ballots will
be printed, along with 2,155 absent
voter ballots.
In other bids opened Monday
night, the board divided the pur-
chase of voting booths between all
four firms which submitted bids.
Work on the actual printing of
the ballots is expected to start as
soon as the official proofs (samp-
les) of the ballots are certified to
the Madison Press Printing Com
pany. Until that time, it is not pos
sible to begin the long and metz
culous task of preparing the many
forms which must be used in the
various areas to accomplish the
many governmental functions of
elective officers and approval OF
tax and bond issues.

"can'ts". "don'ts" or "won'ts"-
should be treated alike.
The "can'ts", for instance. are
drivers who are incapacitated in
some way and who should not be
on the highways at all-Such as
people with impaired vision or
those who are mentally defec-
tive.
Some Just Don't
The "don'ts" are those who
have not acquired the driving
skill they should have. those who
don't bother to learn the rules,
those who are absent-minded or
who use poor judgment. These
people are responsible, but negli-
gent. and should be dealt with
accordingly.
The "won'ts" are those with
defiant traffic attitudes who de-
liberately flout the rules-such
as juvenile delinquentS, show
offs, police-baiters and speed
maniacs. This group needs the
most severe and. at the same
time. the most careful handling.
Traffic codes and their adj
ministration. the ABA indicates,
should be flexible enough to al
low the thoughtful treatment Of
each violator that the times
demand.

loss OF life and injury with which
most of us are familiar.
The major causes? The ABA
committee, which is working
with the automotive industry in
q Nationwide campaign to i'm
prove traffic court procedure.
holds out three: bad highways,
bad vehicles, bad drivers.
I The first two are tough en-
gineering : legal problems on
which much talent and endeavor
Is currently being spent. The
third is a human problem and
Is even harder to solve. None
theless. the ABA and the auto
industry are convinced that
much can be done If the Nations
traffic courts will make a real
effort to break away from the
shallow routine into which
many Of them have lapsed.
The lapse is understandable
in view Of the vast number Of
traffic violators who. more often
than not. must be handled on
an 'assembly-line basis. Or so it
seems.
Automatic Approach Blamed
But highway lawyers today
are tending to the notion that
there will be far fewer second
offenders If trafi1c court judges
and magistrates will drop any
automatic approach to their
job.
TRAFFIC judges. according to
this view. should:
/. Consider each case sepa-
rately.
2. Give each violator indivi-
dual attention.
3. Consider all the circum-
stances of the offense.
4. Analyze the defendant.
This last point is held most
important. For it is the con-
census of the experts that not
all habitual traffic violators-
who can be categorized as
