Governor Harriman at New York seems to be quite right when ha r*tw» to Pra»W«nt W enhowar aa “just another Republican President" The record of the past three yearn will bear out the truth of this statement.

We Americans are peculiar people. Many times, if we see a sign “wet paint," we want to rub our hand across it to see if the sign is correct. By tee same tokqn, we are constantly warned te that more people are being killed daily on highways because of speed. Yet. many of us, want to “gun tee motor” tee mluute we get behind a wheel. We also are warned that cigarettes might be a contributing factor toward tee cause ot lung cancer. And yet, American cigarette manufacturers made and sold more cigarettes in 1955 than any year in history. Apparently we want to learn by dying. ——o— —o—-w Kenneth Eugene Thompson fifteen year old Bluffton boy who was found guilty test week ot being a delinquent child and sentenced to the Indiana reform school by Judge Myles F. Parrish, has started a new life at the institution. The boy, and Charles William Ostrander, 37, also of Bluffton, confessed to several major crimes in Decatur including armed robbery and rape- He was taken to the state school Monday and will remain there until he is 21 years of age. It is the maximum sentence which can be given a child under the Indiana laws, except for murder. ——-o -o—— ■ We sincerely hope that the state, county and city police officers who are becoming active in holding down speed of motor vehicles on the highways, do not overlook the faet that trucks and busses often violate the speed laws too. Also drivers of tractors can be guilty of reckless driving and of operating on highways without proper licenses. Officials are, of course, to be commended tor their crack-down on drivers of passenger autos, but many times cause of serious mishaps can be traced to speeding and reckless driving of trucks. Bus drivers too have a habit of driving up to within p few feet of a motorist and a quick stop of the car ahead could cause quite a mishap.
