"a MECHANICAL FAILURE Is perhaps

(N MECHANICAL FAILURES is perhaps the rarest
Of the principal causes Of automobile accidents. It is rare
that q tire will blow out, or there is brake failure, or
there is some other mechanical failure. a tire blowout
on the road would cause little damage unless the driver
is going -beyond-much beyond-the lawful speed limit.
Most cars are fairly safe, and this is assured BY the re-
quired inspection
WHEN ALL IS said and done, it is clear to see that
the great majority Of accidents-and death resulting
from these-can easily be avoided. Why, then, the kill

A ON OUR ROADS
DEATH ON OUR roads IS becoming 81

ON OUR roads lis becoming such a monster
that it is getting out Of hand, and unless something is
done about it we shall find ourselves in the same posi-
ton as the mainland. There, more people have been
killed by automobile accidents than all the soldiers who
died in al the wars put together. This is something awful
THERE IS NO reason under the sun why people
should set out to kill each other on the roads. The whole
idea is insane and downright foolish, and shows lack Of
responsibility for the safety Of ourselves and others. Re
gardless of what view is taken of this killing, it is en-
tirely avoidable. Automobile associations, Safety Patrol
departments, the National Safety Council, and endless
groups throughout America have long decided that auto
mobile accidents, in most of the cases, are avoidable.
HOW DO MOST Of the accidents come about? In
the order in which the reasons are given, they are: ~
carelessness; ~ failure to observe the necessary laws;
(3) lack Of fitness, physical Or otherwise, and (D me
chanica1 failure.
them resulting in death to occupants of one or more We
hicles, are due to carelessness. A driver, full Of condd-
ence, and often full Of himself, will refuse to give the
proper signals, or will turn sharp corners at high.speed,
or fail to give his fullest attention to what he is doing.
These will certainly cause trouble.
~ KNOWING WHAT TILE speed limit is, but
falling to observe it, passing stop signs and other signs,
refusing to remain in a lane, these, and many others
cause accidents.
f1 MANY PEOPLE undertake to drive before
they are fully ready. Sometimes they just do not know
how, or drive well enough. Others undertake. to drive
while too sleepy, or have been drinking, or tooztired to
physically give the proper attention to their driving.
These also cause trouble.

SOCIAL SECURITY
By EARL w. TRINKLE
Field Representative

Harry and Alice Blank (not Their
real names) are real people-kind
people-child-loving people. Yet
their lives had been empty since
their only son, Joe passed away, al
most twenty-five years ago.
Though Harry and Alice often
talked about adopting a child, the
final decision was always 'not
now". AS Alice put it, a child needs
"full-tinle" parents. This was not
possible with Harry and Alice. with
both working full time in their
small retail dry-goods shop.
At the end of 1857, Harry. closed
his store to make way for the new
highway. He got fair price for his
shop. Being past retirement age,
Harry qualified for social security
benefits. Alice is still in her mid
fifties and could not yet qualify
for a wife's benefit. However, with
HarTy's monthly benefit check and
the family savings, Harry and
Alice we've able to manage COM
fortably.
Harry and Alice made another
important decision-the time was
NOW" to adopt a child. Harry was
still in good health and Alice, the
calendar Notwithstanding, was still
young" To make a long story
short, Billy came into the Blank
household, by adoption, at the year
end, 1868.
But the story does not end there.
Harry learned recently from the
social security people that under a
recent change in the law, the
adopted child, under age 10, of a
retired or disabled worker, is inn
mediately eligible for child's bene-
fits. It is now no longer necessary
to wait three years, as the law
previously required.
The social security people also
advised Alice that she also would
be elibible for wife's benefits, even
though she was under 62, because
she was taking care of Billy, who
is under 10.
If you have question regarding
benefits for an adopted child con-
tact the Social Security office at
220 w. Brambleton Ave-, Norfolk

good and bountiful and lavishes

fruits and toll unselfishly for their
rewards, you will see yourself
guiding a young person into a life
of real happiness.
Friends, let me tell you: what,
ever we must now suffer, it is in
most cases our own fault. Help the
youngsters to be happy in what
they are doing. Don't leave them
growing up feeling like the little
boy who told his mother he wanted
to be a preacher, and gave as his
reasons it were harder to sit still
in church and be quiet than to
stand up and holler.

a Bible. Bring one of these.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE TODAY

We shall do much in the years
But what have we done today?
to come,
We shall give our gold in
princely sum,
But what did we give today?
the tear,
We shall lift the heart and dry
We shall plant a hope in the
place of fear,
We shall speak the words of love
and cheer,
But what did we speak today?
We shall be SO kind in the after
while,
But what have we been today?
We shall bring to each lonely
life a smile,
But what have we brought
today?
We shall give to truth a
grander birth,
And to Bteadfast faith a deeper
worth,
We shall feed the hungering souls
of earth,
But whom have we fed today?
We shall reap such joys in the
by and by,
But what have we sown today?
We shall build us mansions in
the sky,
IT'S sweet in the idle dreams to
bask;
But what have we built to day?
But here and now, do we our
task?
Yet, this is the thing our souls
must ask,
What have we done today?
