Permanent Safety Drives
A COMMUNITY that is “safety conscious" is
much more desirable than a city which
tolerates the observance of safety week once a
year Providence R I deserves to be called
“safety conscious" because it has the lowest pro
portional traffic casualty rate of any metropolis
tain area in the United States with 67 persons
per 100000 population
Oklahoma City’s 1934 rate was 185 Solving
one of the average American city's gravest prob-
lems by simple law enforcement is not remark-
able when supported by conditions as they exist
in Providence
First traffic regulating agencies have been
divorced from politics discarding the necessity
for personal discrimination by patrolmen and
judges
Second these agencies have practical rather
than punitive methods ‘ In simple terms they
have used educational discipline instead of
bullying methods except when dealing with
habitual law vi!ators
Third these agencies are regulating the mo-
torist first and the motor car second Courses
in the fundamentals' of safe driving are being
taught in junior high schools by members of the
traffic squads A file record is kept of each
violator's misdemeanors This record reveals
whether or not he is a menace to the safety of
the public and if he is Providence has no
scruples against revoking his driving license
Proof of good city 'ordinances and their en-
forcement is revealed in Providence’s traffic
record The citizens of any city have a right
to demand a similar record — Roy Hollingsworth

Training for Peace
T AM INNOCENT of 'this blood" cried 11
alike when the youth of our nations served
as cannon fodder in the late World war Yet
how many mothers feel any hesitancy at giving
their children toy guns and tin soldiers for play
things? Later how many fathers do not proudly
teach their sons the use of real instruments of
warfare? 1
Impassioned pleas came from the pulpit for
enlistments during the late conflict' Schools
offer military training and instruct youth in
effective' methods of destroying life
Peace treaties are made and broken Battle
ships are junked and bigger ones built
We have not tried to train out children in
an atmosphere of peace yet the after effects of
the war have done that for us effectively On
every hand you hear courageous and intelligent
young men declare that when the next war
comes off they will not be there they will riot
face the fire of the battle field so that treaties
may again be made and broken that profiteers
may amass wealth "
If our government will couple courses in pre-
servation of peace with a stringent law providing
for the confiscation of wealth in time of war
perhaps our desire for peace may ultimately be
solved — Suzanne auote
Child Labor Legislation
WHEN President Roosevelt signed the Social
Security bill he described the occasion as
"historic for all time"
Not only does this act afford some measure
of protection to the average citizen against the
hazards of unemployment and dependency in
ru but it iwwtitutes the most important
Ti l m i-sPt r-f" of vl to rfi-ldmn
Vv rnrHi wurStv for unoro-
ployed and ared is fourfold It makes possible
a start toward permanent recovery on a lasting
and not an emergency basis in a collective pro-
vision against that major threat to family life
represented by unemployment
It incorporates special measures for the health
and welfare of children as an Integral part of
a broad economic and social program The
grants-in-aid features of the act including all
the specific provisions relating to child health
and welfare afford a method of federal co-
operation with the states which will preserve
a very large measure of state and local initiative
and responsibility
Finally tlte act provides a unique opportunity
for co-ordinated and harmonious action in the
fields of public health child hdnllh and social
service for cliilJrvn — Helen Sims

More Prejudices
There's nothing like a' loving pair
To get into my fuzzy hair
They love and pet and bring me woe
Until I just can’t see the show
They whisper nothings loud and long
And I can’t even hear the song
I hate them with a passion zealous —
Especially since they make me jealous
Weather Forecast
Friday rain Saturday rain Sunday showers
Such a prediction is sure to be a success with
our readers If it rains — then we were right
If it doesn’t — everyone will be so glad of it that
it won’t make any difference

And sat right down upon his knee

Girls who never never fret
When someone tries to pet

Is there anything more discouraging to ro-

WASHINGTON Dec
Sami shipbuilding yards hum with ac-
tivity on the eve of the London naval
conference which will open today '
Fifty-three last oesuoyere are un-
der construction alone with ships of
otiier categories In a procram design-
ed to assure the American- navy fun
authorised treaty atrensth before 1942
President Roosevelt has enunciated
a policy of American opposition to any
increases of naval strength beyond
those existing limits
Destroyer Pragma Advances
Reports from the navy's bureau of
construction made certain officials
say that the destroyer-building pro-
gram— which has lagged behind other
categoric— Is now movldg steadily
ahead and the trim little craft win

provide the navy with the remainder
of the 150000 tone authorised for ships
of that category
Fighting Ships Planned

ing plana to convert 51975 tana more

-And again I might add that If the 1 1 ion 40 of the National Defense act
regents and the president are sincere so as to limit lu application In the case
in their belief that preparing for war1 of civil educational institutions to
is the beat aasonuiee of peace I think those offering elective courses in mil-
thelr Hess are father warped jitary training
I think that all manners of reason- j would accomplish
tag will lead to the conclusion that this purpose by inserting a pnnae at
IP YOU happen to read this little J disarmament h more conducive to the appropriate In the present
piece Yd appreciate It no end jf praedi'and I think that' the United u providing that no R O T C unit
you would call it to the attention ntjtliw murt the first nation to start j at any college be established or main
those gentlemen who are raising so
much ' belt ' about the undemocratic
features of the new plan of student
government - ' “ ' '
This little piece has to do with com-
pulsory military training YduU gath-
you go along that I'm "agin"
it— and I'm not 1 One of those fellows
with long hair and " a turtle-neck
sweater who's "again" everything that
cornea along
Of course you know that the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma Ik not a land
grant college and that there la no
state or federal law which says you
must 'study military science and
tactics - -
The state legislature simply sets up
a board of regent which dictates the
policy which the Immediate uhlverrity
administration shall tolow
'And too 'you know that it la simply
because the board of regents believes
or is led to believe by the president
that military training is expedient' that
you are compelled to study The "sci
the movement
tained until such Institution hat
j satisfied the secretary of war that
THINK the administration and the ' enrolment in such unit (except in the
organization itself dies the piiyai-oasa of essentially military ac tools) la
cal blessing derived from compulsory elective and not compulsory
military training Then there's - thC - That seems to me a much greater
splendid peraonnti In charge of the problem than student government The
corps There's the color and glamor! military setup as tt functions now
of It all seems greater puneh In democracy's
Now I ask you— or the hoard of re-
gents dr the administration or any-
one else who cares to answar— if that
la the emence of democracy And
ask you this Is this not a more vital
problem than student government
which after all is something of a
courtesy extended students by the ad-
ministration which la In no way obli-
gated to provide for any form of stu-
dent government?
"
Alongside the fact that simply
because the regents are fit X have
to leant the mechanism of a French
“75 " disturb the even tenor of my life
by jumping when the1 captain says
Jump and prepare myself generally
for war student government with'-all
its ’ undemocratic - - features - doemt
amount to a tinker tm- w
Bo brother If you picture yourself
a champion of democracy here some-
thing for you to take the stump about
I can sit back and take what the uni-
versity has to offer in the way of stu-
dent government and laugh at tha in-
significance of It but when the uni-
versity tells me that X must line up
and learn to shoot that something
else
I am not questioning the sincerity of
the president of tha university - and
foe board of regents in their conten-
tion that we nedd -this compulsory
measure as a means of maintaining an
adequate national defenfc !
'But I might add that X sincerely be-
lieve that : there are other motives
toh aa the- financial benefits to be
gained by "playtag ball" with the war
X am not attempting to dispute any
of these contentions X simply repeat-
end emphasize — that you are compelled
to taka military training here because
the administration says "taka It or
die" And- then mind you some stu-
dent geta ants in his pants because
the plan of student government Is un-
democratic! - ‘
' But I’m not finished X have this to
shoot at the source from - which it
same TTiat source recently reported
that military training In colleges b
becoming more popular as shown by
an increased enrolment of 20 per
eent
Well murder would become popu-
larised too if you had to kill some-
on everyday to stay in college
s And than this: If military training
la beoomihg so popular why the com-
pulaory feature? Won’t the momentum
f Its own popularity assure its exis-
tence? After hlT that tot A had Idea
Its’ done’ at the university of Wiscon
tin " -
And then you gentlemen who are
rnfiM thih perturbed over the undem-
ocratic principles of the new stu-
dent government plan 'bright think
tha proposal' of Senator Ny and
Cfctitrtotiriian' Kvale r
I- - 'J
TTUI1S PRpFCtsAU as you know—
A Of mi?b4 you' don't — Is the very
race of this democracy about which
Fdtf kqueat '
nose than the new constitution
So' If you're really steamed up
about suppression of democracy there
something to pop off about My guess
b that there wont be even a little
toot!
