Parents are urged . to encourage
their children to enter with zest into

It is surprising how much there Is
to learn abcut accident hazards anct
prevention when once one begins to
think on the subject. In helping chil

in this essay contest, it is quite
J possible that parents may discover

One healthy sign emerged out of
the fight over the bill to reorganize
I tre Government and put more power
in the hands of the Executive Branch
? John Public Is still very much
concerned about tne destinies rieing
i shaped for him by Congress.
And that rosy-cheeked outlook Is
.{not based upon the quantity of pros
testing letters and telegrams, which
[ deluged congressional desks In unprecedented
number, but upon their
"quality." They were spontaneous
protests from the real grass roots.
Here is the proof:
Observers who checked- the original
source of the telegrams found i
IV a?t a large majority had originated
from private homes and had been i
< telephoned to telegraph offices.
> Needless to say, there was consld
i orable sleep lost In the congressron- I
at bedrooms during the heat of ths
ft flfht. And instead of counting sheep
1 most of the sleepless ones wore 9
counting votes.
