A Plane Is Not a Plaything
Modern airplanes are safe so long as used for
the purpose for which they are built They are
safe so long as the pilot keeps his head and fol
lows the rules of flying. In this respect they are
little different to automobiles. The difference lies
in the fact that when an accident occurs due to
operation out of line with proper flying rules and
regulations the result is more certain, and it is
scarcely worth mentioning what that result is.
The airplpane is not any more a plaything than
is an automobile, yet too many pilots and car
drivers fail to recognize that fact until it is too
late- Each victim in turn has, no doubt held to
the belief that he is too smart, or perhaps too
lucky, but the record proves that he is just as
dead as those who tried the same stunts and did
not get away with them.
Car wrecks are so common that only the most
disastrous of them break into the news columns
any more. On the other hand, plane wrecks, be
cause of their almost certain fatal nature, are
recorded with regularity. As between the two
modes of travel, the automobile is' a far more
consistent killer' and maimer, yet we do not con
template locking our cars in the garage or re
fusing to purchase new cars because a lot of peo
ple get killed in them. And so it will be with the
airplane. Faith in their safety is somewhat shak
by the Teports of accidents here and there over
the country, yet it is realized that the human ele
ment is at fault in a majority of cases rather
than defects in the machines.
To those who enjoy riding in planes, in pilot
ing their own planes, accidents such as the one
which claimed the lives of two Morrow county
residents Sunday evening should serve as a brake
upon any ambitions to do stunt flying. The mar
gin of safety is in favor of the plane's occupants
so long as the machine is operated as it should
be. The same rule applies to the driving of an
automobile. TheTe is joy and comparative safety
in rolling over the highways at a sensible speed
a speed that will not endanger the lives or limbs
of the occupants if forced to take to the shoulder
of the road. It is the fellow who tries to double
the basic speed who becomes a potential killer
yes, a murderer, if you want to put it that way.
All Streets Should Be Highways
It is to be hoped the State Highway Commis
sion will not jump at conclusions if any of its
members should by chance see the foregoing head
line, for one is prompted by the work done to date
on North Court street to wish that all of our streets
could have the same type of treatment as that
street-highway is receiving.
Several weeks may pass before the job is com
pleted, but it can be seen from what has been
done that a long-felt need has been filled. It re
mains for the hard surfacing to be laid before the
job is finished and then the residents on either
side of the thoroughfare will know they have been
justified in helping financce and in enduring the
inconveniences experienced in the earlier part of
the work.
In an effort to secure better drainage through
better graded streets, the city council two or
three years ago set up a plan whereby the town
could be divided into improvement districts. It
was the council's idea that the city should assume
a certain share of the improvements and the pro
perty within the districts the balance. This plan
might still be workable if the property owners
within a given number of blocks wished to peti
tion the council to have the streets graded, curb
ing put in and pavement laid from curb to curb
Many of the streets are getting in bad condition
and before too much money is spent in patching
it might be a good idea to investigate the feasi
bility of doing something of a more permanent
nature.

will provide "how to grow it" and
question answering information
for bulk of the puzzlers con
fronting home gardeners.

of each is as follows:

numbers ever printed by OSC. It
includes a planting calendar and
gives variety recommendations
for all- common garden vegeta
bles 41 altogether.
