Only One Camera to a Customer Kem’s for Drugs 7X- 1 XAi’e 1 , Newspapers generally are joining in a movement to create a senti ment for more strict regulation of motor traffic. The Hubbard Enter prise had this to say in a recent issue: Tho last issue of the Aurora Ob server carried a story of the tragic end of a well known and respected citizen of thnt territory, Phil Greaves, who was a victim of care less driving on the Pacific high way at Canby, ns ho crossed tho highway in his Ford at the White garage romer. A California party, e ■ntirely within his rights as a driver on th« highway, was at the wheel of his car when the accident hap pened. Be that as it may, this high- this,high- y respected citizen is dead, his family is prostrated and h|s coni munity is the poorer because of the accident. Would it not bo more sensible to enforce the law regard ing the speed of traffic at inter sections and oreteat humanity? Tho man from California is hardly more responsible for the death of Mr. Greaves than an apathetic public which to date has failed to r»'cog- nize tho rights of all citizens whoa a motor driven vehicle is the of fender. Our motor driver vehicles, under present conditions, are rapid ly becoming a menace to the gen eral pub lie.
