Thia Fourth of July weekend may well be the most dis
astrous in the peacetime history of the United States. Ue
sincerely hope we are all wet in making such a statement,
but there are several indications that lead us to believe that
we are correct.
In the first place, it is a four-day holiday for many
people since the Fourth is on Tuesday. This means motorists
will take longer trips away from home. Secondly, it is the
first holiday of summer and many will participate in summer
activities, such as swimming and boating, for the first time in
seven or eight months. Lack of practice easily can cause a
leg cramp while swimming or the capsizing of a canoe.
Third is the fact that there are more automobiles than ever
before on the highways which makes driving that much more
hazardous. And our fourth consideration, of course, is the
ever-present danger of fireworks. Too many unfortunate
aocidents have happened because of negligence with fire-
crtickers.
This sounds like ol’ Gloomy Gus talking, doesn't it?
Well, we don’t want to be too pessimistic and see bad
in everything. Actually, we think that the Fourth of July is
the best of all our national holidays because of its great
significance. But we’re just afraid that Congress will have
to vote to do away with it in the interests of self-preservation
if the expected mass-destruction continues.
During the four days, daily newspapers will tell us the
toll of dead and injured throughout the country as compiled
by the National Safety Council. Figures from such distant
states as New York or Georgia may not be of much signifi
cance to us, but remember that Oregon also is entered in the
sweepstakes. This is one time we hope we come in last.
Be careful this weekend, so YOU don't become a statistic
for-the National Safety Council.—K.C.
