THE GOLDEN RULE . . . and Safety PERHAPS no maxim ever laid down for mankind has had broader opportunities for applica- , tion in every day life than the Golden Rule. In traffic, particularly, there are innumerable occasions when this precept should be a guiding principle. But, as is pointed out, one situation frequently arises when persons are loathe to “do unto others what they would have them do unto you.” . . . when they witne s s an automobile . accident. Many, many times other motorists and pedestrians deliberately refuse to be of assistance in one important particular to the parties! n volved. Strangely enough, this tendency doesn’t apply to physical assistance. Everyone is willingly cooperative in seeing that the injured are cared for, and that damaged cars are removed from the street. But when it comes to helping the drivers with the aftermath of a collision, it’s another story. - Typically, the average person Is instinctively afraid to give hls name and address as a witness to / an accident. If he doesn’t go so far as to pretend he didn’t see it, he often evades the desperate driver or injured pedestrian who asks his help by melting into the crowd. Your testimony may help an injured person to recover just damages or a widow and dependent children to be compensated in the small measure that money can provide for the loss of a husband and father. Or by stating the facts as you saw them occur you may

OUR SECOND ANNIVERSARY Two years ago, Dec. 10, 1937, Ira T. Howard and Edwin Smith launched the Syracuse-Wawasee Journal upon the turbulent sea of journalism. The partnership was exceedingly short of financial wherewithal, therefore, the first 18 issues of the paper were printed on contract in the office of the Cromwell Advance. Then the present plant was purchased and the Journal become an integral part of the business interests of Syracuse, and the town’s mouthpiece as it is now and always has been ever since the first issue. Seven or eight months after the paper’s establishment, other capital was interested and the Journal Publishing Corporation was formed Messers. Howard and Smith retaining the business and editorial management. On May 18, 1939, the Journal Publishing Corporation was sold to Hubert Stump and associates, who have conducted the business and destinies of the Journal ever since, and today is giving to Syracuse a real home newspaper, printing all the local news “that's fit to print.” Thanking our advertisers, subscribers and the general public for the interest taken in and the Unstinted support extended it, we again say “Thank You.” —The Journal Pub. Corp. save a blameless driver from being saddled with an unjust obligation which may mortgage his income for years to come and deprive his family of the necessities and ordinary advantages to which most of us are accustomed. Be a good neighbor by doing what you can to see that a just hearing is afforded to every unfortunate participant in an accident. You’d help his child if he were injured in the crash . . . why not assist the child just as materially, even though he wasn’t there, by seeing that his father benefits by facts you alone may be able to prove? The time and efofrt you may spend in discharging this social responsibility will be well spent if you can contribute to the rendition of justice in these unfortunate occurrences, which might happen to anyone, and which are often so vitally important in the lives of those affectea.

LESS DISEASE FOUND IN HOOSIER APIARIES A one per cent reduction in diseased bee colonies is shown by the 1939 inspection of Hoosier apiaries, as was reported recently. Inspections made this year under the supervision of the Division of Entomology, included 74,582 colonies located in all parts of the state and represented a greater number than was checked the preceding year. Less than three percent of the colonies inspected were found to be diseased. The reduction in the percentage of diseased colonies and the general improvement in apiary equipment reported by the inspectors is an indication of the progress being made by Hoosier beekeepers. Inspection of apiaries is a step in the control of foul brood and other diseases is one of the services available through the Department of Conservation.
