CAREFUL DRIVING IS URGED FOR AUTOISTS During recent weeks there have been a number of serious automobile acci dents in this vicinity. In one of these accidents one from our own number, Charles Clubb, was killed. While the reports which have come to us about this accident do not indicate reckless ness or negligence on the part of either driver, many accidents are undoubted ly attributed to these factors. It is with this thought in mind that we make this plea for cautious and courteous driv- ing. Every man who drives an automobile assumes a responsibility to others. If it were a question of his life and prop erty alone, he would have a perfect right to drive as recklessly as he pleas ed. That would merely be the observ ance of personal liberty, the principle upon which this country was built. When a man’s action’s however, affect the welfare of others, failure to take this fact into consideration removes his actions from the field of personal liberty and places them in the realm of license. This no man has a right to do. Where we live and work in or ganized groups our actions must of necessity affect those about us. It is our duty and should be our pleasure to show consideration to all with whom we come in contact—on the highways as well as in our homes. We believe that many automobile ac cidents could be avoided by the ob servance of simple courtesy and thoughtfulness. Most men in their daily contacts with others are general ly thoughtful, well mannered human beings but as soon as they take their places behind the steering wheels they lose every vestige of consideration for others and even their good manners. Why a normal, decent individual should undergo such a change no one has been able to explain but undergo it he does and thereby makes driving not only unpleasant for others but dan- g’erous. Even if we leave safety out of consideration think how much more pleasant driving would be if we would take our good manners into our cars with us. The rules for safe driving are simple and most of us know them. Our state and municipal speed laws are reason able and generous—let’s observe them. It would not be too much trouble to give other drivers a hand signal (and the correct one) when we are going to stop or turn. We could even observe the law which requires us to come lo a full stop before entering a through highway without the time thus expend ed effecting our lives materially. While we believe that most accidents are the result of poor and careless driv ing rather than of mechanical failure in the machine, we should certainly see that our brakes are good and our tires not slick. If we don’t know the rules governing safe driving and the (hand signals for giving other drivers necessary information we should resolve to learn them and use them. After a good brakes, good tires, good manners and good sense would eliminate the greater part of all automobile accidents which today are maiming and killing so many people and bringing so much sorrow to the families of the victims.

Electric Shop Personalities Did it ever occur to you why an electric motor runs slow when one button is pressed, fast when another is pressed, backward, jogged a bit, or completely stopped when you press the correct buttons? Why does an elec tric lamp burn at the snap of a switch? Why does one burn out? There are so many things concerning electricity that you can’t see. Like wise there are many things we of the electric shop do which can’t be seen. This invisible servant, electricity, keeps paper rolling from the machines and makes possible the ready ship ments to here and there. While it seems that each part of the equipment operates more or less as a matter of fact it all must have the watchful eye of electricians—checking, adjusting and repairing at all times. We of the electric shop try to give each and every minor trouble our utmost care. We are under the very efficient supervis ion of Mr. E. L. Happ. I’m sure you all know him. He sees all and hears all electrical troubles. He comes very nearly being everywhere at once and what a watchful eye. He is a most humane fellow also. Have you seen brain storm painless fly trap? Mr. fly lights on an attractive screen, when he makes contact, crackle, pop, fry, bang what once was a healthy, normal pesky fly is no more. Really he’s kind hearted and considerate. John DeBord, our day man, is all over the plant. He does more dif ferent things in a single day than a mocking bird singis tunes. Claude Dellinger, the shop man, and a good one too, seems to have a knack for making our invisible servant electric ity do its duty where many fail. Dutch Morris, our light expert, knows the why and wherefore for keeping the plant illuminated. He also manages to give us all a hand and a well trained one too. Thanks from us all, Dutch. Paul Maxwell, the destruction man, installs new equipment. When he bends a piece of conduit it just must fit. On “C” Shift—Wayne Conne and Ben Rickman are at your service. They say Mr. Ecusta must make paper so they cheerfully do their bit. Howard Whaley and Dewey Gordon on “B” Shift, seem to be able to get the most done in the shortest time and with the least effort. Maybe they luckily do the right thing at the right time. Some call it skill. About our busiest Shift, A, is com posed of a couple of sports even though they are fishermen—W. H. Barnes and Nat Townsend. They earnestly, eagerly and efficiently keep their end of the ladder up. On D Shift Bob Sherrill, our gard ener, keeps his motors humming about as smooth as the smoke from his cigar. Last and least also on D Shift is Tom “Shorty” Hargis, the deer hunter. He went 58 times last sea son. He didn’t kill a deer but did see a few tracks. Surely he’ll get one this year. The kingdom of heaven is built on faith like that of Shorty’s. Handling the invisible in Champagne are Porky Erwin and Luke Harrison. They really don’t amount to much but manage to keep the Converter Build ing buzzing along.
