Safety Derice
Is Good Driver
BY Martha Johnson,
Dodge Safety Consultant

SAFETY seat belts, padded
instrument panels and safety
latch doors are just q few Of the
devices that have made the mod
ern car the safest ever built.
But the finest safety device is
still a careful driver, according
TO Paul Jones of the National
Safety Council. The only safe
driver, no points out, is the one
who wants 10 drive safely.
You can't keep a driver from
having an accident il he doesn't
really want to keep out Of one"
Jones told me. "A driver can
have split-second refiexes, 1920
vision. the 10 of a genius. and
the skill of a race driver. but he's
still a menace on the highway II
he doesn't want to drive safely"
Jones advocates continuous
campaigns by women's groups,
civic organizations and local
safety clubs, aimed st making
drivers more safety-eonseious.
Pounding safety into the
driver" he says, ''is the big rea-
son why traffic tolls have been
decreasing during the past few
ycars.
This Is not TO minimize the
importance Of extra safety de-
vices on your car" Jones em-
phasixcs: Every safety expert
recommend and urges the use
Of seat belts. safety-rim wheels.

and other 'built-in' safety fea-
tures. f.

Court Resffirms
Deseuregafion
On Sept. %, the Supreme Court
handed down a sweeping decision
re.affirming, amplifying and clar-
flying its historic ruling Of May
Il, 1854, banning segregation in
public education.
The decision spelled the doom
Of the massive resistance" to de.
segregation by some Southern
states. The Court held unanimous.
ly that "the constitutional rights
Of children not be Disseminated
against in school admission on
the grounds Of race or color i.
can neither be nullified openly
or directly by state legislators or
state executive or judicial Off
GERS. nor nullified indirectly by
them through evasive schemes for
segregation whether attempted
'ingeniously or ingeniously'." The
court banned the use of public
funds to support private"
schools.
Meanwhile, pursuant TO the
policy of massive resistance. ="
some 10000 elementary and sec.
ondary school pupils, the vast
majority of them white boys and
girls, were locked out of public
schools in Little Rock and in
three Virginia communities by
actions Of Governors Orval E.
Faubus of Arkansas and J. Lind
SAY Almond of Virginia.
The makeshift private schools
into which many of them have
been herded do not appear to be
meeting the standards required
for admission to colleges. The
intransigence of the two COVER
nors is exacting a tragic toll of
the children of their states. A
reaction against this kind of sac
rifice has already been indicated
by many of the parents as well
as by the children.

FRUITFUL AMENDMENT
EARLY LAST MONTH 4 matter occl

r LAST MONTH a matter occurred which
attracted little attention. This is unusual because Of the
high significance Of the event, and the possible impact,
on the economic welfare of these Islands. The amend
ment to the Mills Bill, acted upon favorably by the
House Ways and Means Committee, restored to the Vir-
gin Islands the right to continue the incentive feature
of income taxes.
ONE OF THE most popular, and indeed effective
ways Of developing the economy of a region is to offer
tax exemption to new business. On the surface this
sounds distant and uninportant enough, but when it is
realized that corporations pay a tremendous amount
Of taxes 052 per cent Of their net income) then it is easy
to see why tax exemption is a great incentive.
WITH THE Money which would ordinarily go
for taxes a corporation could introduce a number Of
developments, engage in research, and expand its busi-
ness. This is one of the devices Puerto Rico used in its
famed Operation Bootstrap,' and which proved SO eff
fective in developing the economy Of that island.
IN OUR PRESENT state we can use every penny
made in these Islands, and some more.Income, therefore.
derived within these shores should remain here, and
that is exactly what the amendment to the Mills Bill
has done.
WHILE THE AMENDMENT Of this feature Of the
bill was the right thing to do under the circumstances,
it is nevertheless true that it is 81 benefit to us, which de.
serves a word Of appreciation Of the members Of the
Ways and Means Committee of the House. Omrelations
with many Congre ssionaI COMMITTEES have been most
cordial, and there is every hope that this condition viii
continue.

High School
To Cain s.
Students

An increase of 35 students in
Bluffton high school with the
number of pupils remaining
about the same in kindergarten
and elementary school, is esti-
mated by Superintendent of
Schools A. B. Murray as prepa-
rations are being made for re-
opening classes on September 8.
The superintendent'S enroll
ment study completed lest March
indicates an enrolment this fall
of sos students compared with
total enrolment last year of ITO.
The estimate is based on an
expected kindergarten class of
'73 as compared with SIS last
year; estimated 1893 in the first
six grades as compared with
406 last year, and an estimated
334 in high school as compared
with 299 last year.
Mr.. Murray makes allowances
for some changes in the picture
through the summer, with a few
families moving from the dis
trict, and a few new ones NOV
ing into the area. Last year,
however, his estimate proved
very close, 76S as compared with
ITO actual registration.

Examiner
Recommends
Train Cut

The end of rail passenger
service for Bluffton moved nera-
er last week when PUCO ex-
aminer recommended the Nickel
Plate railroad be allowed to
abandon its Cleveland Coldwater
run.
The ruling by examiner VIII
liam McGinnis reverses rec
ommendation he made in Marhc
that the trains be kept on their
twice-daily schedule.
Since that time these trains
have been abandoned in Indiana
and Illinois. The trains, which
once ran from Cleveland to St.
Louis, now stop at Coldwater,
Ohio, village the size of Bluff
ton near the Indiana line.
Nickel Plate officials claimed
in their brief to the PUCO that
they are losing S611 daily by
running the morning and eve
ming trains over the abbreviated
line.
If the NKP request is approved
the passenger service between
Coldwater and Fostoria would be
dropped. The railroad would
still run trains to Fostoria to
connect with trains from Buffalo
and Chicago.
Railroad unions and most cities
along the route, including Bluff
ton, have filed official protests
with the PUCO. Their next step
may be to file exceptions to the
examiners ruling before the case
is studied by the entire state
utilities group.
Another avenue of attack for
the protesting groups would be
to carry the case to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission
under the new Shepherd act.

Auxiliary Plans
To Continue Tag
Day Next Year

Plans to continue the Hospital
Auxiliary Tag Day in 1860 were
announced this week by Mrs. Sid
ney Hauenstein, president of the
group.
This years Tag Day netted
$260.69. This will be used to pur-
chase new linens and drapes for
the hospital.
Mrs. Hauenstein also said the
S700 the Auxiliary sought from
the Bluffton United Fund was
equal to the amount secured
through their membership drive,
not the Tag Day sales as was
reported in last weeks issue of
The Bluffton News.
1.-The Auxiliary asked for S700
and a continuance of Tag Day.
The United Fund has seen fit to
suggest 81, 900. The Auxiliary will
have its annual Tag Day next
August when the merchants hold
their Dollar Day." Mrs. Hauen-
stein said this week.
UF president Harold K1ingler
said this week that the United
Fund will serve as a collection
agency for Auxiliary member
ship dues, the primary reason
for the Auxiliary's entrance in
to the UF. No house-to-house
canvass for Hospital Auxiliary
membership is to be made, he
said.
