II SPEED VS SAFETY III 1:1 Illlr'iUIl ft' : The wreckng of the big Hudson car, that took a high dive off the macadam road at "Dead Man's" curve on the Wapinitia cut-off last Friday, is just another le:son to those who can read the truth in the trage dy of too much speed. Fortunately for the occupant of the car no lives were lost in the wreck. How a big tar with metal frame can be so com pletly twisted, shattered and splinter ed, and yet cause no loss of life i little short of miraculous. Many local people visited the scene ; of the wreck and in looking around found many mementos of the acci dent Some found scissors, bottles, eggs, broken glass and many other things spilled from the car. The marks on the road told the (story of too much speed. A Buick car, preceding the Hudson, passed Pine Grove at an estimated speed of 75 miles per hour. The Hudson was attempting to catch up. No one was on the grade, no stock, hogs, wagons or children along the trade route. Another piece of ruck. But suppose there had been. The drivers did not know, and we have a right to say they did not care. The driver of the Hudson said the road was new to him, therefore should have been all the more careful. The law says 35 miles an hour on open roads and less on curves should be observed. Is 70 miles an hour keeping the spirit and intend of the law? Is not that speed a criminal disregard of other citizen's rights? How can we stop this highway ter ror? Fast driving, and that in ex cess of the law's stipulation, seems to be on the increase. If a speed demon manages to keep inside the fences, even if he drives all other cars to the ditch, is he not to be curb ed, what safety is there for those who observe the law? Are such drivers to go" unpunished or are they outside the reach of the law? -Some remedy is imperative and should be invoked in nil cases where the infractor can he apprehended. A man's social or haziness statu3 i'd. be no bur to punishment, in fact the higher in 0 "ioty or budnc i a .nan be "io more tetsf n there is for him to observe !!i law, for h: i supposed t have rttd the law and to be po se -sed or sufficient acumen lo closely follow its dictates. Two Portland policemen have been dismised from the force for mis treating a cat Sufferin' cats, where do we get off? ' Paintig Reth Sign - The Wilson Painting company is at work on the side of the 0.
