Tuesday, Sept. 5, Ashland’s four public schools will
open. Hundreds of students will be back in class, many
of them attending for the first time in their lives. a
With the youngsters’ return to study comes a
shouldering of greater responsibility on the part of all
motorists who drive Ashland’s streets. A definite haz
ard will occur at all school crossings and it will be well
for drivers to remind themselves that greater caution
must be observed.
Although Ashland has been comparatively free
from school crossing accidents, only constant vigilance
on the part of drivers and pei'suasive instruction tc
children by parents will keep the record clean.
Don’t drive fast through school zones or across in
tersections where children pass. Be especially alert
during hours when children are going to and from
school. And remember that during first weeks of the
term many children are likely to be unskilled at cross
ing streets; some of them may at any time dart out
into the path of your vehicle and, even though it may
be no fault of yours, striking such a child would be a
tragedy for you as well as the injured one and his
parents.
Don’t let your car’s bumper and wheels be destruc
tive implements—drive carefully through school zones
and crossings.

SHOUTING PLATITUDES WON’T KEEP US
OUT OF WAR!
Once upon a time a king bethought of himself a
great plan whereby he would build a road directly tc
his summer palace and avoid bothersome, wasteful,
circuitous routes. Too. he believed he could illustrate
to his people the wisdom of getting at a thing to be
done and let nothing alter the plan.x
But the wise old king, ere he had finished his high
way, learned that rock and mountain, water and tide
make demands which must be satisfied. The road
which was to have been straight as an arrow, coulc
never be built.
And so is it true with all man’s ambitions an<
hopes. Although the goal may be definite and knoxvi
still no direct, simple route may be followed withov.
deviation to attain it. In the present struggle of man
kind, which may go down as one of the blackest de
bacles in all history, we as neutral Americans well
know that our goal is to stay put of war and live a1
peace with our fellow man.
However, the acknowledging of our purpose is net
the achieving of it. Nor will a determination to keep
entirely isolated during belligerent times give us a:
impenetrable immunity from without or within. W
must keep our goal in sight, yes; but then we al3
must discover the most practicable way of reaci ing it
Smug ‘we won't sell supplies to warring nations’
decisions will not attain our ends if, by so doing, v/c
hasten the defeat of our natural allies and becomr
the next ambition of a fattened foe. It might even be
possible that immediate industrial cooperation would
obviate the necessity for us entering the fray late"
to save our own necks.
The better our allies fight—if fight they must—
then the less need and desire there will be on our par'
to send men to the front. Supplies and foodstuffs fo
England and France at the onset of war might ac
complish what the sacrifice of thousands of our me
later on could not do.
Hence, it would be well for all of us who sincerer
desire a lasting neutrality to consider the war-shorten
ing value of our industrial resources when made avail
able to European democracies.
There is no easy, direct avenue to isolation fo-
.merica. Our neutrality, if it is to last, must be ar
active, curative force in the destinies of the world
The sure road to peace is not necessarily a do-nothing
lock-ourselves-in-the-closet policy. Doing nothing fo:
