That is the gist of a fecerJt editorial in the New York Times * “At the turn of the century one out of every seven ac cidental deaths in the United States resulted from a rail road accident,” said The Times. “Today the ratio of such fatalities is only one out Os every 30. In spite of three seri otarpaSsenger train collisions, each owing to the failure of operating personnel, and despite the fact that the railroads performed mope than four times as much train service and riearly'Jtwice as much passenger service as in 1900, fatali ties- resulting from railroad accidents of all kinds in 1950 were down 66 per cent and injuries down 34 per cent. It one excludes accidents resulting from the major menace of crossings at grade, the reduction in railroad fatalities has been 73 per cent. In 1907, 4,000 employes lost their lives in'railroad accidents. There has been a steady decline in thlp'toll and last year, for the first time, fewer than 350 were killed ” ' This is a fine record of progress. Railroad safety has beep advanced by improvements in equipment and physi cal facilities of all kinds, from signal systems to the cars themselves. Equally important, It has been advanced by ah unremitting educational campaign whose purpose is to maSdVrery worker put safety first on every occasion. The railroad people literally think safety and act safety. The occasional failure, which is found in every human endeav* or H should not be allowed to obscure the splendid facts. Cbie Necessary Guarantee . .“The head of an oil company recently said that his industry must have one guarantee if progress is to con tinue That guarantee, be went on, “is freedom—freedom to fexstore where we will, freedom to conduct our research, freedom to speak capital, and build plants and faculties, freedom to earn profits with which to finance expansion and maintain our credit.” , Lin the course of his talk he ppinted out that 8,000 wildcat wells were drilled in this country last year. Os this he-said “Can you imagine the government engaging in telteently and efficiently in a wildcatting operation? Can you the Secretary of the Interior explaning to a Senate committee why they grilled in the 8Q per cent of, places that proved dry? Or, what is more likely, trying to explain why all the Democratic county chairmen had weir ranches drilled on and the Republicans didn’t!” . The American oil industry, under the free competitive svstem of doing things, has been an economic miracle. Last year as much Oil was produced as in the whole first 50 years at the industry's history. From oil well to market is a long washout 1,000 mites on the average. But the industry has built a unique system of distribution which bridges those miles as a matter routine—and at an extremely smalt cost to the consumer. ~ J ...

The other night, I listened ta Senator John Bricker of Ohio explaining to an audience of. news papermen the dangers to them and their country of the so-called cov enant on human rights which the United Nations, including some shameless Americans, are trying to put over on us. I am sure that these men did n °t realise the im portance or the seriousness of the Senator’s speech. Unfortunately, We possess so great a wealth of lib erty that we often disregard our treasures. Compare, for example. Amend, ment 1 to the constitution of the ynlted States with Article 14, para graph 3, of the Draft Covenant on Human Rights! The First Amendment of the Junerican Constitution reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of re ligion, or prohibiting the free ex ercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the pres*; or the right of the people peace ably ta assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” That amendment simply says, with regard to the press, that Con trees shall make no laws abridging Its freedom. There are no ifs, ho Whereases, no buts, Article 14. par agraph 3, of the United Nations Covenant is more involved, more wordy, because it seeks to suppress freedom of the press. Read it: “The right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas car ries with it special duties and re sponsibilities and may therefore be subject to certain penalties, liabilities, and restrictions, but these shall be such' only as are provided by law an* are neoessary tar the protection of national se curity. public order, safety, health Ot morals, or of the rights, free doms or reputations of others.;*' Under this provision, newspapers, TWymiTirri. ncwa-g&ttocring agen ole*.' wire-services and that part of radio which supplies news or com- St would be limited to exactly I the government of a country ted iU people to be told. The competition for news and the con tentiousness over views would dis appear and in their place would steady only the propaganda of of ficialdom the partisanship and bias of those in power, protecting their vested interest in the states quo. There is 00 freedom in that. *Of tills provision the state de partment once said that' it was Mpirswswrsjs —* statement. which is not and eahoot be true. Actually the peo of the United States have opt Hsu consulted concerning it and SI us hard ly know what. is was conceived in secrecy and pro that few bother to read it.

CRANE - CASE B-392: When George, our oldest child, was 1214, he asked: “Did you bear about the priae I won at Sunday School?” I pro tested my ignorance, so he went oi>: “Well, while we were away at the farm last month, my class here has bee\ studying about Samuel.

He even washed behind his ears without the usual insistence by Mrs. Crape. His interest had been pepped up because of the competition and the book that he had won. Competition oan be one of the best a allies of a good Sunday schodi. Nevertheless, many a1 d mossbacks will inveigh against “buying children” with rewards. They wUI veto contests and indict rivalry! Yet contests or competition at tract all the football and baseball crowds. They fill the theaters, for the basis of dramatic suspense is conflict or competition. Even fiction must have competi tion between the hero and the vil lian, or the story fails fiat and becomes textbookish.
