The Aral picture showed three young boy« in their hot rod*, lined up for a drag race. The lent frame pictured three headatonea over fresh grave*. with win, place, and show etched in them. Yaaterday . the radio added to the picture aa announcements came through noting the number of traffic death* in the various states over the week-end. Aa the weather improves, so does the toll of the grim reaper on the highway. Probably no time of the year in Adams county b more dangerous from an auto-safety standpoint than the next month. The warm weather brings folks out on the highway, and, aa the trees blossom and leaf, and the crops start through the ground, heads tend to swivel away from the road. And the weather puts more cars on the road. It's a good time of the year to trade; young folks, getting out of school, buy cars for the summer jobs, in preparation for driving to school in the fall, or just to have something of their own. - There are a multitude of banquets, parties, dances and scrool functions to attend in conjunction with the end of the school year. Besides the normal increase in traffic for these affairs, there are a certain number of pople who are usually late, and in a hurry. Children who have walked all winter can nowget out the bicycle. They have more fun being on their own to ride to basehall practice, ride over to see a friends new party dress, and ride to school. They are not particularly safety-conscious in this exhiliaration. Most carefree of all, are the little children. These are the ones too young for school, or in the very early school years. They have been cooped up all winter with Mom in the house, and there is considerable mutual relief as they get out again. These same children have been told repeatedly, “don’t play in the street." But if a ball rolls away, or the kids across the street seem to be doing something more interesting, words from Mom and Dad don’t ring very loud. None of these aspects seem very dangerous—in fact, they seem to be normal American spring-time functions —and they are. But another normal American springtime function is for the death-rate to start its heartbreaking climb. The best way to prevent a win-place-show tombstone is not to get in a race. And the best way to prevent any automobile accident is to BE CAREFUL. Spring is the green season. Let’s keep it green in Adams county, and not black. , —,

WELCOME TO ONE OF rfISSE| 1580 INDIANA I ! COMMUNITIES | J SERVED ONLY by TRUCKS VS

49.6% of all of Indiana’s communities (areas of concentrated population) depend entirely upon truck service for their, freight transportation. That means 1580 communities—B32 of them towns—which receive everything they need and use, and ship out thing they produce, by truck—and by truck only. Even in those other communities served by both truck and rail facilities, truck transportation is found to be of greatest relative importance. For instance, a survey published by the Metropolitan Planning Department of Marion County—“ Manufacturing and Commuting in Metropolitan Indianapolis”—reveals the relative importance

of the several forms of transportation to 293 manufacturing firms operating within metropolitan Indianapolis. These firms reported an average of 72.2% of source materials received by truck and 77.5% of products shipped by truck. In the South Bend-Mishawaka Area,’ 'comparable average percentages among 76.4% for materials received by truck and 82.9% for products shipped by truck. These authentic survey figures tell part of the story about who uses trucks—whether they be for-hire or privately owned. The figures also reveal that any transport truck you see is on a business mission, put to work by someone needing service.
