While cotiBldorlng such u project, it is well to be informed about the sorts of things encountered in view ing truffle problems ‘‘fiom the other side of the fence." In the highway department, plans are being drawn and studied for new construction and improvement of e.x- Istlng roads. Data on traffic volume, origin and dosllnution ,of traffic, costs of right-of-way and materials, and selection of routes to be built or improved may bo soon by and ex plained to students. If it is a state highway depart ment, there may bo a material test ing laboratory whore, following ox- porimontation, decisions are made about how road beds may be laid and what surfacing the roads should have for -durability and safety, The equiinnont, metliods and costs have a direct boaritig on traffic safety. To improve motor vehicle travel, almost every state and many large cities employ traffic engineers whoso main Job is to make streets and highways safer and more efficient for the drivers who use them. Here are spot maps showing where and how different types .of accidents have occurred. The tiufflc engineer is geiiorally responsible for Inslall- i:tg traffic control slguuls, signs and ))uvement murkings. These activi ties are directly related to the inter ests of new or would-be diivers in the teen-age group. ^ Slate motor vehicle departmetits, highway patrols, and local police de partments usually have accident ro- coid divisions where Information on all reported accidents is available for study and use. Here is data on the number of traffic uccldeuts by type, location, and persons involved, Much other information, such as weather and road conditions, causes of iiccldoiits and types of vehicles in volved, is tabulated in the accident record division for a variety of uses. la the traffic court the details of serious traffic accidents are given a public hearing, with statements from those Involved In an accident and witnesses who saw it or were on the scene shortly after the acci dent occurred. Hearing a traffic case as it is tried In court is a very valu able experience for the teen-ager. The opportunity for teen-agers to see "traffic safety in the making" are many and varied. Any resource ful teacher can, through projects such as are suggested here, provide vuluablo learning experiences. Letters To The Editor Dr. A. Herbert Marshall, M.D. Cliarleston, Missouri. I To the Editor: Vou aie hereby notified that I require of you to do all you can in every way possible to elect Dr. .4. Herbert Marshall, M.D., President of tliese United States of America, but whatever you do, it must be done In an honorable, and in a peacefurman- ner. This is a great and critical mom ent facing the world today, and I urn determined to do my utmost to assist in avoiding further suffering, and I Intend to spend' the rest of my active life trying to help solve the world's problems. No political par ties. nor organizations, nor race, nor creed, nor color, nor ilch, nor poor need to fear me, for I will give all a square deal but not a new deal. I am a Democrat, I am a man who has no price . , . who believes in the Golden Rule, and follows it. I am a statesman and not a politi cian. You will always find me on the side 1 think Is right, no matter whether it is popular or unpopular, or whether It wins votes or loses votes, or whether It wins friends or loses friends—that Is what I call a statesman, and 1 think it is a better definition titan the dictlonaiy gives. The dictionary says a "statesman is one who is skilled in public affairs, and the art of government, or one who deals wisely with public mat ters." I know how to solve all political problems, and If given the authority that Roosevelt had, and with the help HIKTH A.NNOUNOEMENT Mr, and Mrs. Julius Howell an nounce the birth of a daughter, Don na Grace, July 2. Rex Hospital. Mrs. Howell is the former Miss Loora Giaoe Eckos of Fuquuy Springs, of the Lord, I will be able to do so, and will do so. 1 am a political prophet, 1 come to stir the dreaming, stagnant nation, and to hold back-Its feet from irre- tractable decent. To heave the land as with an earthquake, and to- shake the silly, shallow Idlers from their seals: my words will come from the ■Lord’s own mouth and be thundered into your conscience. I will reason, teach, warn and rule. The real sword of the spirit la keen er than the brightest blades of Damascus. Such men rule a land in stiength, with Justice, with wisdom, with honor and with power. Providence, they say, always raises up a great leader in every crisis, but will we have wit enough, sense enough, or enough honor to try and recognize who he la, or do wo\ go chasing off to one who talks the moat over the radio, or some grea\ orator, or some great politician, or some great hero of the hour? For Moses truly said unto the Fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up among you of your brethren, like unto me. Him shall you hear In all things whatso ever he shall say unto you, and it shall come to puss that every soul that will not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people, yea and all the prophets from Sam uel, and those that follow afterwards as many have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days, and I am he and I don’t mean maybe. I know whereof 1 speak. To say the Lord who created man Is unequal to the task of revealing His thoughts to man. la utterly absurd. He that is of God lieureth God’s Word. You hear Him not because you are not of God. Belleveth thou not that I am in the Lord, and the Lord is in me, the words I speak unto you, I speak not of myself but of the Lord that dwelletli ill me. He doeth the wprks. Our civilization cannot survive materially unless redeemed spiritu ally. It can be saved only by becom ing permeated with the Spirit of Christ, and being m.^de free and hap py from the practice which springs out of that Spirit. Only thus can dis content be driven out, and all the 8badow.s lifted from the road ahead. Thank You, Dr. Herbert Marshall, .M.D. Charleston, Missouri. P. S. The Government' should get out of private business and stay out, I e.xcept where taxes are involved. 11 [should do business according to tho Constitution, and return to the prin- I clple of local self-government, j What this country needs most of 1 all is an honest leadership, capable I of acting In the national Intei'est without regard to vote-getting. It should be the primary interest of every intelligent person’ to under stand tho greatness of the forces at present ut work upon human life and government. We are in tlio midst of the mightiest revolution in hjstory, yet mo.st persons seem not to be aware of that fact. AHM. Our Subscribers— New and Renewed Lilllngton and routes: W. B. Cur- rin, J. P.
