Electronic Highway of Future Brings
Forth Problem of Jaywalking Public
By DOC QUIGG
1 super-road and simply obey- tutt-tutt jaywalkers.
United Press Correspondent ing the sign: "Controlled
New York IP! A team
of electronic wizards has
worked out details of the
electronic highway of the
future, a highly sensitive and
intelligent slab of pavement
that can control your steer
ing, braking, and acceleration
automatically.
The trick is turned by
burying a continuous series of
circuits loops, cable, and
transistors in the roadbed
and along the highway. Thus
wired, the road itself strait
jackets your car to a sane
course with the help, of
course, of receiving devices
in each vehicle.
In a report on their pro
posed system to the Highway
Research Board in Washing
ton, V. K. Zworykin and L.
E. Flory of RCA Laboratories,
Princeton, N. J. asserted: "All
of the electronic means exist
for accomplishing any degree
of control which can be eco
nomically maintained." "
So, the vision opens of bar
reling up to the automaton
highway please switch to
electronic drive." Select your
lane, and that's it. You can
be'gin a gin rummy game with
your passengers, read a book,
catch up on office work, or
maybe even turn on a port
able television.
Well, that may take care
of the problem of highway
accidents taking the gas
pedal, brake and steering
wheel away from the fool
hardy driver. But it seems to
me these electronic planners
have missed the boat for traf
fic in big cities.
What about the foolhardy
pedestrian? Can he be wired
for safety?
New York City has all but
thrown up its hands at the
attitude of its pedestrians. In
stalling big "Walk," and
"Don't walk," signs at inter
sections, it began an inten
sive educational campaign
against jaywalking. Police
men pitched in and tried to
Recently the chief magis
trate said the program obvi
ously hasn't made much of
an impact on New York's
walking millions. He said the
education should go on "an
other year or two" before
penalties are fixed by law.
Maybe the engineers could
help:
How about fixing the
street corners so that a man
gets a custard pie automatic
ally flung in his puss the
minute he steps off the curb
against the lights? Or, maybe
the streets could be charged
with current, shocking some
sense into jaywalkers.
As a last resort, the city
could require all pedesterians
to wear an electro-magnet on
each knee which would freeze
the jaywalker's legs together,
immovable, when the "Don't
walk" shortwave current was
on.
Let science march. What
we need is electronic - con
trol sidewalks.

Norma S My sister hogs
the whole show.
Mrs. L. S. She should try
to be more like her sister.
Norma S 1 am 14 and
very unhappy because of my
sister, who is 16.
Greta is very pretty and a
wonderful dancer and a good
athlete. Of course, she is ter
rifically popular. I'm only
average in everything and no
body ever notices me except
to say that I'm "Greta's sis
ter." When Greta walks into
a room everyone turns and
takes notice. I can just sit and
sit and nobody knows I'm
there.
I know that it's not right
to be jealous, but I can't help
it sometimes. How will I ever
have friends or get anywhere
in the world if my sister hogs
the whole show?
.
Mrs. L. S. It has been a
real problem to raise these
two girls with their complete
ly different temperaments.
Everyone thinks Greta is a
great beauty but she isn't.
She just happens to light' up
like a Christmas tree when
she sees an audience. Norma
is a pretty girl in her own
right, but she doesn't do any
thing to call attention to her
self. I keep telling her to be
more like her sister.
We have tried to get Greta
to take Norma in on her do
ings, but it just doesn't work.
Norma complains that nobody
likes her they just take her
out for Greta's sake.
.
The Council: Mrs. L. S. is
making a mistake in telling
Norma to be "more like her
sister" and in trying to get
Greta to take on the respon
sibility for Norma's social
life.
Norma already lives far too
much in relation to her sister.
She must begin to see her
self as a very separate indi
vidual with entirely different
qualities from her sister
qualities that other people
can like and admire.
Perhaps the first - step in
helping Norma would be to
make her conscious of the
fact that to a great extent she
is master of her destiny. She,
and nobody else, is .robbing
herself of friends and good
times. Her sister could "hog"
a dozen shows and there
would still be some left over
for Norma to star in.
The girls are close in age,
but there is still enough dif
ference for them to have en
tirely separate groups of
friends. If Norma cannot be
happy in the same group with
her sister, she must find her
own.
Mrs. L. S. can help her
daughter by encouraging her
to develop the social skills
that throw her into meaning
ful contact with others.
Sports, music, dramatics, danc
ing are all excellent. Even the
more "lonely" hobby activ
ities like reading, drawing,
painting, photography, can be
very helpful in developing
the personality and giving the
youngster ' points of contact
with others. A girl like
Norma may develop much
more confidence in herself if
she can excel in such a skill.
A little success and social
experience will help Norma
mature to the point where she
will be able to accept the fact
that not every girl can be the
one "everyone turns to and .
notices" when she walks into
i room. Many girls with less
dramatic appeal have great
popularity and closer, warmer
friendships.
