TODAY - - OLD GLORY’S DAY
A Big Opportunity
They say in Southern California that the new
comers aro the ones who see the best opportunities
in that region, and that this is the result of the new
viewpoint of the new citizens who are looking for
something, while those who have been residents in
that section have become so inured to seeing every
thing about their cities that they overlook many an
opportunity.
We in Ashland have enjoyed L ithia Park, Lithia
water and many other wonderful advantages here
so long that possibly we are overlooking a real op
portunity. A statement by a Phoenix citizen, Mr.
Hearns, in which he relates the benefits he has re
ceived from drinking Lrthia water and in which he
says Ashland is overlooking its best opportunity in
not concentrating on a sanitarium project, is another
proof th a t We should listen ter the outsider and the
newcomer with his new viewpoint, his new enthus
iasm, his new experience.
Of course, the sanitarium has been discussed—
has even been marked as one of the big projects to
be accomplished iii our city; but the fact remains
that we have not concentrated nor worked strenu-
ously on this big idea.
- The Daily Tidings wonders if it would* not be
wise for Ashland to adopt one slogan—“ We m ust
have a sanitarium ”—and concentrate on that until
some definite action and result is accomplished.
Traffic Enforcement
The average American motorist is a better
driver today than he was five years ago. Today
ojierators are commencing to show each other and
pedestrians also a fractional p art of the same decent
consideration th a t thev manifest as d T hatter of
course, in their offices, at home and dn the golf
There are still many drivers, however, who be
have with their oars like a small boy with a new
toy acts. Not only do we brag about our machines,
which is harmless, but we show off while out driv
ing and sometimes without very much regard for
the other fellow. We cut in ahead of the other
driver, counting on him to avoid a collision. We
force the pedestrian to jump out of our way and we
turn a blind eye to the mud we spatter on him. On
streets flanked by residences we step on the gas
with small regard for the child who may d arf sud
denly into the roadway from behind a parked car
or piece of shrubbery and that is why hundreds of
children aré killed every year in j*ust that manner
when a little less speed would have meant those
youngsters would still .be alive today.
Remember, safety and courtesy are twins!
Few indeed are the motorists who really respect
and observe all the traffic regulations all of the time.
Too many automobile drivers show a callous
ness for traffic laws, a readiness to fix or bribe
their way out if arrested for illegal driving, and
what is worse, a readiness to laugh at and con
gratulate the other fellow who lies his way out of
an arrest. Traffic laws are designed anti are needed
for nothing less than the protection of our lives
and should certainly be upheld by every gtxid eiti-
■en quite as strongly as the laws against burglary
and the like which merely protect our property.
We shall never m aterially reduce the terrible
antomobile accident toll until we recognize the traf
fic problem as a .question of personal conduct and of
community standards. If it were as unfashionable
to drive recklessly as it is to cheat in a card game,
there would lie fewer lives lost in America.

U te report that w arring Chinese generals have
about decided to sottlc their differences and make
common cause against the Communists will meet
with general approval everywhere else but in Knssia.
We have always felt John Chinaman had too much
sense to join up with that bunch of I-W on’t-Workers.
Though Chamberlin and Ix*vine received a very
wann reception in Germany it is altogether likely
an Americau plane would have received
even
wanner reception some ten years previous hud it
landed there.
