Nothing is more contagious than a good and noble example. This poor
widow's example has stimulated the gift of countless billions. A niggardly,
stingy withholding not only robs a good cause but the bad example
is too apt to be followed* by others. She of her want did cast in all
that she had.—Mark 12:44.
A Healthy Positive Switch
COMEWHERE recently we read about a small airplane
darting down out of the sky to spot a particular motorist
tooling down the highway. At the next town the motorist
was stopped by the police. The driver’s apprehension
changed to bewildered astonishment when the cops pinned
a medal on him. It was for careful driving.
The plane was one used by the state police to patrol the
highways. After watching the motorist in question drive
along for several miles, obeying all the rules and driving
in a mannerly way, the plane police radioed to their head-
quarters in the next town that this guy deserved a medal.
They’ve been doing it for some time, now, and the results
are reported fine.
This strikes us as one of the sharpest, smartest ap-
proaches we’ve heard of to a problem we wish we’d never
heard of—the mass killings on our highways.
For one thing, the airplane gimmick is healthily positive.
We have too many restrictive “don’ts” in our traffic regula-
tions—don’t turn left, don’t go over 30, don’t turn off the
bridge or you’ll drop in the Quahoosik river.
1JUT instead of more “don’ts,” here’s a police force that
says, in effect, you did a smart job of driving today, and
here’s a medal to prove it.
That sort of psychology seems from where we’re sitting
to be the one successful antidote to our dangerous lack of
driving manners—the attitude that the smart guy is the
one who breaks the rules and gets away with it.
And that goes back to the fact that somewhere along the
line we’ve acquired a whole set of false values regarding
our conduct while in the driver’s seat.
Everyone knows too well the kind of person who is as
gentle and considerate as he can be until he gets behind the
wheel of his car. Then something comes over him. His jaws
clench, his eyes narrow, his hands grip the wheel until the
knuckles are white. And woe betide the driver who crosses
his path,
JJIS ordinary good manners completely desert him as lie
darts dangerously through holes in the traffic line, forces
other cars out of their paths, blows his horn, and in general
becomes a 160-horsepower bully.
It would probably be oversimplifying to say this too-
general failing is all the result of trying to compensate for
a feeling of social inadequacy. That may be part of it, but
there seems to be more.
Somehow we’ve gotten sidetracked into thinking that
traffic laws are something it’s smart to beat—like betting
on the horses and winning, or not paying your county tax.
It’s that attitude which must be changed if we hope to
save some of the more than 30,000 lives which are lost in
traffic accidents each year. Just saying “don’t” isn’t enough.
That already has been proved.
So why not try a switch to the positive—a system of
awards for good driving? And let’s be a little dramatic and
original in our thinking and planning on the subject. The
cops in the airplane is good for a starter. Let’s go on from
there.

Second session of the clothing clinic at the highschool
homemaking department opened today and will continue
through Friday, it was announced today by Miss Geneva
Coursey and Miss Olive Anderson, h«*nemaking instructors
at the highschool.
OUISE WESTON and Aunt Ella
1 had the sunny dining room to
themselves. Harry had gone to his
business, Ted to school. In the
kitchen faint tinkling sounds re-
ported that Eleanor was washing
the dishes.
Aunt Ella dawdled over her toast
and marmalade, grateful for a leis-
urely breakfast. Her unexpected
arrival had been a godsend to
Louise, grieving quite sincerely at
Vincent's departure for Paris.
It had been so hard to sink back
into the seemingly futile round of
housework from which lie had lifted
her. Her trips around the city
with Vincent had shown her so
vividly what she had missed. When
Aunt Ella had “dropped in for a
little visit" on the very day that
Vincent was sailing, her welcome
had been most cordial and sincere.
"Louise, dear. I thought at first
you were all wrong,” said Aunt
Ella, growing confidential in the
atmosphere of peace and cheerful-
ness that pervaded the attractive
room. "I used to think you were
'soft.' I was afraid your marriage
had destroyed your sense of values.
But after I saw your children, I
realize that you knew best. Of
course I. too, was building for the
future, so we were really working
for the same ends in a different
way. And perhaps you were wiser
than I to chose the better.”
"Oh, Aunt Ella,” Louise gasped in
her surprise. "I don’t think so at
all. I think you've been wonderful.
And it must be such a satisfaction
to you to feel your life has been
so worth while. I feel there's a real
grandeur about the way you and
some of the others have given your
lives for the cause."
"Humph!” said Aunt Ella aroused
by her niece's tardy enthusiasm.
"But now. you see, my work is about
done and what is left to me? You
at least have your family and will
always have an interest in life."
“Of course that's true. Aunt Ella,
but it's hard to know how far you
should go in suppressing yourself
and in losing yourself in other peo-
ple's lives. I sometimes feel I've
never really lived at all. I've had to
give up what meant so much to me
—my art work—I've had to devote
all my energies to making life
smooth and comfortable for others.
I begin to think that it was very
wrong. The children of course had
to be looked after, and I don't be-
grudge them a minute that I gave
them. But I wonder sometimes if
I really had the right to bury my
own life, my own talents, so com-
pletely. Was it fair to Hprry? If I
had made a fuss at the beginning I
think he might have given me piorc
consideration. But I was afraid-
afraid to spoil my home.”
* * *
AUNT ELLA stirred her coffee
absently as she looked thought-
fully around the room.
“But. at least. Louise, you’ve been
comfortable. Things have gone
smoothly for you, haven't they? It’s
so peaceful here and it seems mar-
velous to me—Just to escape the
constant turmoil and friction—"
"Oh, friction!” Louise frowned
but resisted the Impulse to be im-
patient. "Of course, I try to avoid
that,”
Aunt Ella was interested but not
entirely convinced that Louise had
any real reason for unhappiness or

restlessness. She carried the dis-
cussion no further, however, but
maintained a close survey of the
entire household.
Aunt Ella, at first taking Louise’s
little services as a matter of course,
began to wonder how her niece
could be so unfailingly calm and
cheerful. She felt a gradual irri-
tation rising within her at Harry’s
complacent acceptance of his wife’s
devotion. It never seemed to occur
to him that Louise needed anything
more out of life than to care for her
home and family. The more she
thought of Louise, hopelessly im-
prisoned in domestic chains, the
more angry Aunt Ellen became.
"That's the sort of thing we’ve
been fighting for,” Aunt Ella told
herself crossly. “To free women
from slavery. But a woman's status
In her own home depends so much
on her personal relationship to her
husband—and upon her own char-
acter. I wonder If financial inde-
pendence would make a difference
in every case."
For a couple of weeks Aunt Ella
enjoyed resting, dawdling in the
morning, taking leisurely walks In
the afternoon. Then she suddenly
tired of it.
“Louise, Isn't there something I
can do around the house?" she
asked abruptly at breakfast one day.
* * *
T>UT there wasn't much that
-■-* Louise could suggest to calm
her aunt's growing restlessness.
- "How can you stand it, Louise,”
Aunt Ella exclaimed, "to do the
same things over and over? It's so
monotonous. I begin to feel stifled
just watching you.”
Louise smiled.
"That’s just what I had to make
up my mind to. It wouldn’t seem
to an outsider that I had made any
sacrifices. But it's the monotony
and the mental stagnation that gets
on my nerves."
A telegram arrived for Aunt Ella
one morning and urgent letters
from some of her co-workers. She
was manifestly relieved and pleased
to be sent for.
"Louise, dear, I'm going west!”
she cried excitedly. "After all, it’s
better to be free and lonely, than
penned up even in luxury. I feel
like an old war-horse sniffing the
smoke of battle. I'm starting off
tomorrow. You’ve been a dear.
Louise. If you ever get a chance
to spread your wings, don’t refuse
to do so from a misplaced sense
of duty.”
And Aunt Ella was on her way.

Y"ESTERDAY Virgil Trucks of
A last place Detroit Tigers
pitched a no-hit game. This is
the second time the little known
fire-baller has shut out the oppo-
sition to become the third major
leaguer to pitch two no-hit, no-
run games in the same season.
This is, of a certainty, quite
a feat and sets the 33-year-old
Tiger among the notables, which
position is not to be sneezed at
In anybody’s opinion. But what
of the rank and file?
Wonder If we are not inclined
to overlook the man who never
does anything spectacular but
everyday, goes about his business
without fanfare. He doesn’t make
the headlines and rarely is his
name seen in print. He neither
leads the parade nor brings up
the rear. He isn’t known for his
terrific accomplishments nor will
he ever be shamed by his conduct.
He knows his business down to the
ground and his friends and con-
temporaries love and respect him,
and when the shadows lengthen,
the busy world is hushed, the
fever of life is over and his work
is done, the wires will not hum
with the news.
No outstanding events will be
recalled, but the valor of well
guarded friendships and business
honor will linger in the mem-
ory of those who knew him well.
He’s just the average man, but
he is the backbone of this nation
and the solid substance from
which stars rise, burst and are
forgotten. What price glory?

three and a
half million in the armed services
and a half million it takes to carry
the mails, more government people
are employed in collecting statistics
than any other one thing.
Name any kind of statistics you
want and you can be sure that
somebody in government has ’em.
They fill filing cabinets which, if
stacked one on top of another,
would make another statistic.
Published in book form, these
statistics make handy little volumes
like the 1,200-page federal budget,
or the 1,000-page Statistical Ab-
stract of the United States, which
is published by Department of
Commerce. This is one of the small-
er tomes in the collection, being
only an abstract.
Government statistical collections
got so big that the other day the
Bureau of the Budget put out a
new handbook on Statistical Services
of the United States. This is just
a directory to help the stranger
in town find his way through the
statistics, but it fills a book of 78
pages.
/CONGRESS has been gone from
^ Washington for nearly a month,
but the dear old Congressional
Record continues to come out every
now and then.
The main reason for publication
is to present final statistics on all
laws passed by the 82nd Congress.
But this provides an excuse for
congressmen and senators to "ex-
tend their remarks," as it's called.
This means getting reprints for
reports by the lawmakers on how
good they were.
Over 500 pages of this drivel have
bee» printed since Congress ad-
journed. And at $250 per page, it
has cost the taxpayers about $25,000
to get this in the record.
Department of Agriculture is
about to publish a 950-page year-
book on the subject of insects. It
will have 72 color pictures of the
more Important insects, with 200
other line drawings to help identify
the more important bugs. There's
a key on how to make a collection
of them.
This new insect yearbook is the
16th In a series that was begun
in 1936. Government Printing Office
will sell the book for $2.50 a copy,
but every congressman is given a
big bunch for free distribution to
his constituents.

the lawmakers give themselves every

AFTER Congress of Industrial
Organizations had published its
voting records of senators and
congressmen during the last session
—to show which had voted "right"
and “wrong" on the more important
issues, from the CIO point of view
—U. S. Chamber of Commerce was
asked if it wouldn’t want to get up
a list to give the other side of the
picture.
Chamber officials declined, not
wanting to make anybody mad. But
from the CIO's tabulation of sen-
ators who voted "wrong" on every
issue from its point of view, it is
possible to construct a list of sena-
tors whom the employers would
score as having voted "right” on
the main issues. This would be that
list:
Byrd of Virginia, Bennett of
Utah, Bricker of Ohio, Bridges of
New Hampshire. Butler of Mary-
land, Butler of Nebraska, Jenncr
of Indiana. McClellan of Arkansas,
Martin of Pennsylvania, Millikin of
Colorado, Schoeppel of Kansas and
Welker of Idaho.
Senator Taft of Ohio, usually
considered the CIO's pet hate num-
ber one and the businessman's idol,
was scored as voting right on public
health, public housing and the St.
Lawrence seaway, wrong on 13 other
major Issues.

OFTEN MISSPELLED: Either
“eying” or "eyeing” is correct.
SYNONYMS: Education, know-
ledge. instruction, culture, breed-
ing, learning, schooling, training,

naught; ineffectual: fruitless. "That
was an abortive attempt.”
