COMM L'NIC ATIONS The Editor Try on Daily Bulletin. Dear Sir: The enforcement of law in the?,e United States is a thankless job *inee most of us Americans seem to feel that laws should apply to others and not to ourselves. The enforcement of traffic laws is es pecially distasteful because it is not possible to apprehend all vio .a.tors: the attitude of the average motorist apparently being: I’ll ta chance that “the law” doesn't catch me. When a violator of a traffic law is caught in tn*. act the natural tendency seems to he that an exception should be made since the violator assumes tiie persecuted role and is not inclined to lose like a good sport. The tax payers of all the states have money inveted in signs erect ed along the highways in an at tempt to provide aid and warning to mortists who use the roads. Those drivers who ignore the warning signs represent the large majority of travelers, both local ami tourist. Any person who reads or listens to radio or TV must be exposed: to words of wisdom regarding the dangers of unlawful operation of automobiles. Why there should be deliberate viola tions of speed limits on streets or highways must be traceable to an attitude of arrogance on the part of the average driver. The flagrant and deliberate dis regard for traffic laws, especially speed limits in congested areas in side a city limit, by operators of vehicles is a discouraging situa tion to me. It is more discourag ing when the average motorist sees evidence of partiality shown to the drivers of oil tank wagons and interstate buses by law en forcement officers. There is no simple solution to riie traffic situation in the U S.A, But one step worthy of consider ation might be this; Those among us who are considered as the thoughtful, progressive, God fear ing citizens set an example for 1^48 Ford 2 door, radio and F»«ater.
