ARE MENACES TO ALL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC Reckless motorist who dash cast work crews on state roads, often at 30 to 50 miles an hour, were branded not only menaces to all highway traffic but senseless citizens whose motoring activities should be promptly restricted, if necessary by baring them from driving automobiles, by A. H. Hinkle, maintenance ivnerintendent. in a report re'ently to John D. Williams, state road director. Hinkle’s condemnation of this •pecies of "idiot” as he terms it. was made following injury to a workman on State Road 15, near Knox. The victim sustained a ‘ractured skull and one leg brok-. in in two places. His condition ; s critical. Highway officials point out •bat traffic on state roads is inreading 20 per cent a year. Nsf riirally this necessitates more naintenance work, and crew’s are numerous along the highways working to keep surfaces smooth md uniform. Often they are forced to work at points where oads are narrow, but this condition does not license nor authorize motorists to dash past L hem at racing speed. Frequent’y a driver not only passes at un’awful speed, hut it is not uncommon that he does not sound warning of his approach, dashing among the men before they are ware of it. It is up to them to leap or die, so to speak. As the ?tate highway department does not require its workmen to be trained athletes or acrobats, most of them haven’t a chance. Ordinary safeguards such as warn■ng signs and repeated respectful requests to drive sensibly, are futile. In the opinion of Hinkle it is time to employ drastic measures to protect the workmen. “Each year sees a number of -erious accidents wherein workmen are run dawn by careless, indifferent, and we might justly say. criminal drivers,” says Hinkle. “If the public will take into account that we can not maintain .good roads unless work i$ done upon them, we believe people would be more considerate. Some character of work demands that men be cn the roads at times when traffic is heavy. Often a crazy driver will plunge past, scattering tools, over equipment and through materials at a rate that no one would employ unless on a speed course. Such a maniac often has a scowl on his face seeming to indicate th&t he entertains hatred for anyone on the road happening to be jn his way. Warning signs are knocked down, red lanterns stolen, and every form of criminal offense committed, which discourages the workmen and foreman on highway work and causes them to lose respect, sometimes, which they should have For the honest user of the road.” Hinkle advocates passage of a law regulating speed past gangs of workmen, pointing out that on several projects the department was forced tp have police orotection before the work could be done. o CAR LANDED IN DITCH On Sunday afternoon, while driving on the highway north of Syracuse, Mr. and Mrs. Will Maibie nwt with an accident which resulted in a broken shoulder blade, the fracture of two ribs and one ear almost severed. Mrs. Maibie received internal injuries and had several ribs broken and was rendered unconscious. Mr. and Mrs. Will Hire of this city came along soon after the accident happened and took Mr. and Mrs. Maibie to the home cf a friend in Syracuse and a physician was summoned. It took five stitches to close up the injury to Mr. Maibie’s ear. Mrs. Maibie regained consciousness, but will be some weeks in recovery at least. The accident happened when Mrs. Maibie, who was driving, attempted to pass a car in front of her in the path of a car approaching and in order to avoid a head-on collision steered her car for the ditch. A collision was averted but the Maibie car turned over three times in landing in the ditch. Reports from Mr. and Mrs. Maibie this morning are to the effect that they are improving but Mrs. Maibie will be many weeks in recovery. — Ligonier Leader. — SEAPLANE BREAKS RECORD Baltimore, Md., Oct. 25—Lieut.

| IN OUR CHURCHES I Grace Lutheran Church Sunday School every Sunday at 9:45. There be no preaching service next Sunday. The Light Brigade will not mdfet Saturday. America has given to men their greatest freedom- of thought, speech, action and worship. These things might not be maintained should America fall. The best way to keep this freedom is for America to remain well governed. She is not well governed when our Christian people do not exercise their full citizenship. Our great opportunity of self government comes next Tuesday. Every Christian man and woman ought to vote. And they ought not to forget to take their conscience and Christianity with them to the polls. When the hunch “to go to church” strikes you, better follow it. But why wait for the hunch? Come anyhow! R. N. McMichael, Pastor. United Brethren in Christ “The Rock-Ribbed politician is apt to have a heart as sensitive as a stone.” We would like to have U. B. at the services next Lord’s Day, and we will try and make you welcome. The Communion Service will be observed at the close of the morning worship hour/ The pastor will speak on the subject, “Thought-controlled Life.” Revival services will begin ■ Sunday evening at the Concord j church.
