Let's Get Out
It m ay be and is doubtless tru e th a t
th e A m ericans now in C hina have a
p erfect rig h t to be th ere . They are
rig h t in th e c e n te r of hostilities, w here
incident a fte r incident will m ore th an
likely develop to move this country to
th e brink of w ar.
T h ere are 6000 A m erican civilians

and m ilitary forces sta tio n e d th e re
num ber app ro x im ately th e sam e. U.
S. investm ents in C hina to ta l about
$150.000.000.
W hile it m ay be all rig h t fo r these
A m ericans to rem ain in C hina, one
cannot help but feel th a t it is not
rig h t fo r them to s ta y th e re to the
je o p a rd y of the lives a n d w elfare of
130,000,000 A m erican people. A m eri­
cans do not w ant w ar, but w ith m any
fellow A m ericans in th e zone of hos­

People of this nation a re th o ro u g h ­

feel th a t every possible step should
be ta k e n to keep us out of such a hell.
W a r could easily c a rry th is nation to

Read and Heed
Some m ighty fine advice to th e m o­
to rin g public has been com ing out of
th e office of S e c re tary of S ta te E arl
Snell. If m otorists w ould re a d and
h ead th e re w ould not be th e g re a t
n u m b er of accidents and fa ta litie s ev­
ery y ear.
H ere is an exam ple of th e good a d ­
vice listed in ten tim ely proverbs fo r
w in ter d riving:
1. A few hot toddies may relieve your
cold, but they won't help traffic congestion.
2. M r. M otorist: You m ay hold y o u r own
life cheaply, but you can set no v alu e on th e
lives of others.
3. What if you’re not there for the kick­
off? You don't want to be listed among the
big-game casualties.
4. Are you a reckless driver, or are you
a wreckless driver?
5. Holiday hint: If you have to use alco-
hol.pour it into the radiator.
6. Beef about the other fellow's driving—
if it helps you drive better yourself!
7. If you try to save half an hour today,
you may have an eternity to spend it in.
8. A wet road is bad enough—a “wet'’
driver is worse.
9. Caution is an inexpensive luxury; in ­
dulge in it more often.
10. Brake your car before you break your
neck—you’ll feel much better afterward.
