THE TRAFFIC LIGHT

SITUATION

The Banner learned by devious means that our city is purchasing two street lights that will soon be put into operation on Cavin St. The lights, we understand, are of an unapproved variety, and their installation will be contrary to state law.

In 1939 the state highway department was given control of all state routes running thru the cities and towns of the state, making it mandatory that all control devises on these highways be approved by the commission. (The excellent way the state keeps Cavin St. clean is because of this law.) Permission for the erection of the two lights proposed has not been granted, and the State engineer E. E. Stuckey, who was in The Banner office last week, was surprised to learn that such action was taken without the knowledge or approval of the Highway Commission.

ON TWO occasions an investigation has beer made by approved engineering methods to determine the need for a light at the corner of Third and Cavin St., and on neither occasion did their investigation indicate that a light was needed. In fact, it was the contention of the state highway engineers, who follow national methods of checking, that lights would be more hazardous to children and pestestrians because of the element of hurry on the part of many motorists, who dislike being stopped by control lights. Their arguments seemed to be well established by facts, but it is hard to beat sentiment with fact or anything else. §

As the matter stands the recent study made by the state engineers is in the hands of the commission. Whether a problem will arise by the arbitrary attitude of the city fathers is questionable. Most of the citizens undoubtedly want what is best for the city’s safety, and perhaps a sentimental approach is equal to the factual type. As we say, we don’t know.

“MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT

FOR THEE.”

(From IT Corinthians 12, 9)

This is one of those haunting sentences that come to mind repeatedly, for no recognizable reason; some Subtle cadence or nuance refuses to be forgotten. Paul was pestered with a bodily ailment: perhaps a trouble with his eyes. He calls it his thorn in the flesh, and he greatly wants to be cured. One day he prays for relief, and this is all the answer he gets: My grace is sufficient for thee. There is a pathos in, the words; as though God were indifferent to such little things: Paul, all the men have their trials; you have yours. Don’t make too much of them. Part of the discipline of life is the overcoming of Just such annoyances. Always remember that you have one great over-all blessing: my grace. What more can you ask? So Paul is left with his thorn i nthe flesh, as though God knew that without that affliction he would not be the man he might be. The words have a wide application. We have our trials today; it would be am endless task to catalogue them all. Inflation touches us all; anxiety rests Jike g pall on all hearts; the future looks dark; wunknown dangers lurk about us on every hand. And God seems to say: Well, whose fault is it? If your own greed and suspicion have brough’ you into this mess, what can you
