BRAKE TESTS
Byf Charley
Law enforcement officers
agencies in virtually every community in the nation in
testing brakes of motor vehicles during the period from
April 15 to June 1. Alarmed by the number of traffic
accidents resulting from faulty equipment, police officers
throughout th.e entire nation have adopted plans for uniform
Millions of motorists today
much older than those they
conditions. Thousands of cars are going off the road every
day due to breakdowns or accidents and many are being
replaced with jalopies resurrected from scrap heaps.
It is extremely difficult to secure prompt repair of auto
mobiles today. Nearly all mechanics hftve more work than
they can possibly give early attention to and, as result,
many motorists neglect periodic checkups, keeping machines
rolling until a disabling breakdown occurs.
These conditions are all conducive to accidents. Records
show lack of attention to the braking system is a common
fault among motor vehicle operators and one of the principal
causes of accidents. . . i
A simple test has been devised to determine whether a
motor vehicle's brakes are adequate. The check consists of
a small, slotted block of wood, one inch thick, to be placed
on the floor boards under the brake pedal. The pedal is
then depressed and if it strikes the block before starting
to take hold it is evidence that the brakes need attention.
Engineers have determined that if brakes do not start taking
hold until there is only an inch of pedal travel left, they are
not .adequate for safety.
The brake test, which will be conducted simultaneously
throughout the nation, has the endorsement of federal,
state and local authorities everywhere. Oregon endorse
ments have been given by Governor Earl Snell, Secretary
of State Kobert S. Furrell and Mayor Earl Riley of Portland.
Chief Harry RT. Niles, head of the Portland bureau of police,
is state chairman in charge of the campaign. .
Law enforcement officers will meet in Portland March
16 for detailed instructions and preparation of plans for
the campaign in this state.
Such a program,, wo believe, is important to promotion of
traffic safety. If we were to offer any criticism it would
be that the tests do not go far enough but should include
all mechanical factors connected with safe operation.
Character jslie of Ar American
During the first World War, when British Tommies and
American Doughboys were in France, a story was going
the rounds about a Frenchman who was called upon to
describe the distinguishing characteristics of the soldiers
fronv the two countries.
"Well," said the Frenchman, "when an Englishman goes
into a restaurant, he acts like he owned the damned place;
but when an American goes into a restaurant he acts like
he don't give a damn who owns the place."
Perhaps it was this distinctive American characteristic
which caused President Roosevelt in his recent report to
Congress; on the Yalta conference to use these words:
"agreed to by Russia, by Britain and by ME." And in
another part of his report to say : "We didn't go as far as
Britain wanted to in certain areas, and we didn't go as far
as Russia, wanted to in certain areas, and we didn't go as
far Its I wanted to in certain areas."

lnyed) Two Douglas county
men are among the hundreds of
enlisted men at a huge Superfort
ress base In the Marianas whose
diligent efforts have made It pos

of Major General Curtis E. Le

strike regularly at the heart of
Japan's war industry.
They are members of a combat

General Emmelt O'Donncll, Jr.,
who led the first 13-2!) striking
force from Salpau to bomb To

"The work of these men and
their fellow soldiers is directly
responsible for the success of the
B-2!s in bombing Japan's war in
dustries." General O IXninell said
in congratulating them. "These
men realize their responsibilities
in tlie pre-mission tasks of insur

doing it for quite a while and ex

In the course of the evening
we called another friend on the
phone to suggest that he drop
over for a little light conversation.
He Just couldn't make it, he said
regretfully, as he was taking care
of his granddaughter while his
daughter and her back-trom-tho-wars
husband were out a a show.
"I really needed to go back to
the office tonight myself," he ex
plained, "but we Just can't get

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
The failure to make a happy
world in which God's gifts are
shown and men, live happily
with men, is in man himself.
His moral life has been incap
able of meeting the demand lor
unselfish living and planning.
On every new level of achieve
ment he remains selfish. There
fore only a moral and spiritual
force big enough to change
mankind morally aiid spiritually
is big enough to be the domi
nating factor in thu new world.
The ' kingdom man is look
ing for is what Jesus called tile
"kingdom of heaven." The
power that man needs is the
power of love. Man's moral
efforts are to be recogniwd
and we believe that God is
pleased with all honest en
deavor. When the heart is
poured out In supplication be
fore God. these comes a sense
of His healing presence. Iis
voice of forgiveness gives in
ner strength and confidence
confidence in God's mercy and
in His desire and willingness
to work in and through us.
These days holds for each of us
ptapy apportunlties and rich
blessings, provided there is
within us a sense of Tightness
with God. Knowing that He
sees beyond what wo are to
what through Him we" may lie
come., we go out to love and
serve bur fellow men. They,
too are objects of is loye
Amen. . . .' 1 , " . ' .
