Newspaper Page TextTHE BEND BULLETIN and CENTRAL OREGON PRESS Robert W. Chandler, Editor and Publisher Phil F. Brogan, Associate Editor Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation! Entered at Second Clam Matter, January 6, 1017, at tbe I'oit Office at Bend, Oregon, under Act of March 3, U7S. An Independent Newspaper 4 The Bend Bulletin, Friday, June 21, 1957 Is This the Answer? The death a week ago of five persons and the serious injury of two others in an automobile accident east of Bend has given rise to many questions and has brought forth several suggestions. The collision seems sure to be the subject of court action both civil and criminal for some time to come. This newspaper, therefore, cannot comment on this par ticular accident. Such comment would be prejudicial to someone's rights. But there is no resison to withhold comment on the twin evils of excessively fast driving and driving during or after drinking bouts, particularly when these evils are committed by youngsters. It apparently makes little difference that the law pro hibits youngsters from purchasing or possessing alcoholic beverages. It makes little more difference to some ven dors that the law also prohibits the sale of alcohol bever ages to persons under the legal age. It makes little differ ence to some, drinking or not, that the law prohibits the 'operating of a motor vehicle in a manner to cause dan ger to another. The necessary laws are on the books. By far the great er majority of youngsters obey them. A few do not. Be cause a few do not, the uninformed are too often ready to blame all, including those who do. There are a few who do not obey the laws. They do not obey them because they have no respect for them. They have no respect for them for a number of reasons. Var ious persons at various times have laid the blame for this disrespect of law and order, of public safety, of the rights of others, on the home, the school, the church, or a com bination of them. Perhaps the blame lies in part on these social insti tutions. But if these institutions cannot create respect for the law, the law must create its own. This is not a problem which arises only in connection with fatal automobile accidents. It exists all the time. It is seen in the "squirreling," the near misses, the drinking parties which lead to other problems. How can the law create its own respect? Respect can be compounded of many things. It can be a negative thing as well as a positive thing. It can come from an element of fear as well as from an element of re gard. The law, it seems to us, in order to create its own resT pect, must be tough tougher than the self - imagined toughness of those few who think they are above it, wheth er they be young drivers or the suppliers of the alcohol which makes them feel tough. Toughness calls for Rtrict enforcement of existing laws. It calls for immodiate arrest for all offenses, rather than "bawlings out" from officers when the offense stems minor. Toughness calls for quick trials for all offenses, not the privilege of forfeiting bail. Toughnes calls for sentences upon conviction which mean something to the offenders. It does not call for sus pended sentences for repeated minor offenses or a series of weekends in custody for those more serious. Toughness calls for sentences upon conviction which possible, even permanently, of the dispensing licenses of those who continue unlawfully to sell alcohol to those who do not have the judgment to use it without endangering others. This toughness which as a last resort might create respect for the law need hold no worries for thos who observe it. The law, after all, is nothing more than a set of rules for the conduct of man, regardless of his age, so that his conduct will respect the rights, property and lives of others. Toughness has not been necessary for the great majo rity. Its adoption might be effective with those who have felt themselves above society's rules of conduct. A Small Huizah Noticed the proud walk, the happy gleam in the eye of local residents in recent weeks ? That's because, after quite a drought, we have a team that is winning in one of the fields of athletic endeavor. Our American Legion baseball team, sponsored by Stevens-Chute Post No. -1, American Legion, and Murray Brothers, Inc., has been going great guns. The nine now holds a season record of nine wins and one loss and seems to improve with every game. High point so far was the 9 6 upset conquest of Albany, Wed nesday. There are some who say that if you talk too much about a good thing, it will go away. Not wishing to jinx the Bond Legion aggregation, we'll limit ourselves to a small, but enthusiastic huzzah, with holies for continuation of the winning pattern. Just No Stoppin' 'Em ' r- n a k; ilk L e tiers- to the Editor To the Editor: Gladys Gore, In this column ; Thursday, belittled the wise words : of Mrs. George Marshall regard ! ing the senseless, fatal accident at ; the 4 corners, but offered no con structive criticism herself. Fanatic 1 with quotes and irrelevant patter, her humor was ill-timed and ma cabre. Her facts are fiction. Her imagination jet propelled. Mrs. Marshall, in her letter to The Bulletin, claimed no saintly childhood, as erronously stated by her humorous critic. Gladys Gore's letter suggests youth is old fash ioned or backward if they obey their parents until they reach adulthood. will accept our sincere and humble efforts to right a terrible tragedy by endorsing similar ordinances.

In the Virgo cluster of remote suns, a new star has suddenly blazed into visibility. Astronomers call it a super nova, possibly the result of the collision of two giant stars. Iirilliance of the new star this past week was 100, 000,000 times that of the solar system's sun. If the supernova were at n distance whore the sun would be barely visible to the unaided eye, it would be four times Us bright as the moon. Hut the star in Virgo is so distant it cannot be seen without telescopic aid. Its pivaviit brightness is of the 13th magnitude. The supernova, made news in the astronomical world. But actually the bright star flared up thousands of years ago. The light of that flateup is just now reaching the earth. the general direction of Rio Pe Senate.
