A Bar to Heaven, a Door to Hell— Whoever named it, named it well. A bar to manliness and wealth, A door to want and broken health. A bar to honor, pride and fame, A door to sin and grief and shame. A bar to hope, a bar to prayer, A door to darkness and despair. A bar to honored, useful life, A door to brawling, senseless strife. A bar to all that’s true and brave, A door to woe and a pauper’s grave. A bar to joy that home imparts. A door to tears and aching hearts. A bar to Heaven, a door to Hell— Whoever named it, named it well. —Selected rarner. Elh lott Honor Clubs (Continued from Page 1) at the home of Mrs. Don Hen derson.

Baird Male Driver Is Worst Menace “Single, male, under-25; pos sesses automobile driving license,” is a damning statistical bracket, for it is the “worst menace you can encounter on street or high way . . . the nation’s most dangerous drivers,” reports the January issue of Popular Science Monthly. Only a small percentage of the young men in this bracket can be called “problem drivers,” but they swell the accident record for their classes; they cause insurance rates to climb; and they give the category, as a whole, its alarming ly black reputation. The basis for this reputation? Popular Science (quoting the Na tional Safety Council and Iowa State’s Driving Research labora tory) says: “Only 15 percent of U. S. drivers are under 25 years old . .' . but this group is involved in 27 percent of fatal accidents.” Driver research laboratories and safety officials are studying means of combating this problem. And they’re achieving results. But the insurance companies aren’t idle either. At the present time, in most regions, cars owned or operated principally by a young man carry an insurance rate at least double that of the family car driven by the older folk. Even so, says Popular Science, “The National Bureau of Casualty Un derwriters is campaigning to boost this to triple the older drivers’ rate.” But the worst condemnation of the “young problem driver” ap pears not in the stark statistics, but in the following statement (made to a Popular Science writer by an insurance executive) : “You can’t refuse a man insurance just because he’s single and under 25, but we’d sure like to.” winner. Ann Garner and Joyce Ewing won four rounds out of six. Members of the squad making the trip, other than those men tioned above, were Jim Shurling, Tommy Tilman, and Allan Rap- paport.
