ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS *tder 30 Y ears H o n o red 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. LACKAWANNA MOT( >R 1 ST. 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.
