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.

Gladys Gore, In this column

: of Mrs. George Marshall regard

structive criticism herself. Fanatic

her humor was ill-timed and ma

imagination jet propelled.
Mrs. Marshall, in her letter to
The Bulletin, claimed no saintly

her humorous critic. Gladys Gore's

adulthood.

A New Sun Blazes
Don't look now, but something terrific has happened
in deep outer space where great galaxies of suns whirl in
million year orbits.
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.
