I HOOSIERS PROUD OF 01 R STATE PARKS Dr. Edward G. Elliott, president of Purdue Umve sity, is an iaunn.er of Indiana state parks i and believes in them new op- • portunity is afforded every Hoosier to know and feel proud of Lis state. “Since I came, to the state four years ago." says this noted educator. “it has beta my great pleasure to visit the state par .s at Irirkey Run, and McCormick’s Creek Canyon. In each of taese parks I found conclusive proof of the fat -reaching wisdom of tne State policy which has resulted in the development of tht<e recreational centers. The work of the Department of Conservation on these parkshas offoitkd every Hoosier a new caan e to be proud of the S*ate. The Inns at each of the parks add much to the pleasure of the stay.” - ’.- i Richard Lieber, conservation director, points out that parks are establishing a record attendant this year. During May and June attendance-was 2>» percent greater than for the same munths last year, and on July 4 dnd ■’ the registered attendance was excess, of 32.0 O'. Reports reach:ng Mr. Lieber this week show parks are crowded during the su- den ot spel*. It ci izcns generally recognize that in these cool, shaded retreats real plea- e awaits from summers tor u temperature. » Tht children’s playgrounds instr I’.• d at McCormick's park tri:- ! sea- n is proving cxc edingly popular, as mothers quickly took of the u y of visit i g a State va-k where ! amusement is provided the little tots.

BLINDING LIGHTS AND THE ROAD HOG JiENAt E The road hog and the fellow with blinding lights receiv? more - complaints from the motoring public at large than any other two classes of drivers. Such was the statement made by officials of the Ifocsier St. te Automobile Association, which continues to point out that “it may be impractical for a lot of people to keep their head Lightb i properly focused or even keep the headlights pointing straight ■ ahead and at the proper angle, but there is one thing they can j do. They can at least dim ; bright lights in passing another motorist and if when their bright lights are off. the driver has not sufficient Lght to see by in .passing another motorist, then he should place a spot light on the automobile under the left front light and have it securely directed a short distan.e ahead and to the right of the center of the car. Tne use of a I spot light in this way will solve the problem. “The trouble with many people in driving is that they do not look at the road ahead for their own driving path or watch to :he right of the center where a spot light would show clearly the edge of the road, but they persist in looking at the bright lights of the oncoming car.. That is foolish and blinding and like- - ly to cause an accident,. “As to the road hog; there are • few drivers who have not wished that some how, ok other, tiie road hog wottld be picked up bodily, machine and all, and set over to his side of the road, and sometimes they would like to have him set over ‘plenty rouga.’ There is just no excuse for a motorist who will persist in staying in the middle of the road when he can just as well drive to the right side. Especially is this true and most aggravating when the ear that stays in the middle of the ro&d is driving along at a leisurely, easy pace. If there is justice in restricting the" mileage to 15. 25 and 35 miles per hour, there is also justice in seeing that these same automobiles are actually driven that fast for the most part in the various zopes where these particular speed limits apply.”
