. ,5, ,., TAYLORSVILLE NEWS NOTES r DEATH BY THE CLOCK Some one is killed in a California traffic accident every three hours and 15 minutes. There is a traffic accident every eight minut For each person killed. 31 are injured---me of them maimed permanently. So reports the State Highway Patrol, which adds that the motor vehicle accident rate has grown even |aster than the population of the State! The population has increased by 53 per cent in the last 10 years--<zgainst an accident- %ate jump of 60 per cent! Those statistics of tragedy, taken at face value, might seem to indicate that the earnest efforts of safety councils, kdqhway authorities and other tr[tc experts to combat the traffic death toll have been of little or no =vail. But the unmistakable truth is that their efforts have been in great part offset by the increasingly dangerous driving conditions of the entire highway system as it has deteriorated over the decade. Highway engineers tell us that we have misused our l, iqhways, breaking down once-safe smooth ribbons of pave- ment into paths of danger for all the millions of motorists, and that some commercial users, trcmsporting illegally lie(try loads at excess speeds, are in the main responsible Jot the dmnage. In the circumstances, it seems greatly to 'edit of safety orqardzions that the clock of highwaF deaths has not run even faster than its appcdling current rate! And no mention is made of the too-common practice of mixing gasoline with alcohol by mcmy motorists who don't even consider their own safety! SEARS, ROEBUCK'S CONFESSION J. E. Francoeur, California official for Serm. Roebuck & Co., has punctured a hallowed iraditinn of American folk- lore concerning that ancient and honorable institution, Re znofl-order cclogue, which was as much a part of the U. S. household oi qranddad's day as the cast-iron wood range and the turkey-wing duster. The business, which now has retatl outlets in 47 states, wasn't built to greatness through the catcdoque, after alL Mr. Francoeur tell us--but through newspaper civerttsing. It was even started, back in 1887, when a Chicago paper carried a classified ad: "Wanted.--Watchmaker with references who can iur- ntsh took. State age, experience and salary required." The ad was inserted by Richard W. Sears. The first man to answer it was A. C. Roebuck. And so was born the partnership. Within two years, reveals Mr. Francoeur, the firm was spending more money on newspaper adverttstnq than on its annual catalogue. Last year the company spent $28,- 764,000--83 per cent of its advertising budget for all media --for space in a total of 1035 dailies and weeklies spremd over all States save "yoming, where it has no store. It's an old story, the tremendous part newspaper ad- vertising has played in building the economy of this lust,/ countrlf--nd now even the mall-order catalogue is given second place by its creators. Nevertheless, it holds an im- pregnable place in the hearts of the country's old timers. Its lavish illush'ations and glowing blurbs for ten thousand products helped while away the time in a duller age. It had many uses. Its memory can never die. NO FOOT IN THE DOOR "Freedom of the press, like a bath on S(L,'day night, is one of those things we take for granted. And, like the pre-Sabbh ablution` it is something that can be occasion- ally upset by circumstances and the whims of those in- terests can best be served by bridling the press. "Although its treedom was guaranteed by the nation's founding fathers, still the press has had to maintain a con" stant and vigtlm:d fight to remain tree. "A muzzled press is an ineffective press. A pelitically controlled press is a sham and a menace to the community and state Itserves. "A gee press means a h'ee YOU. Don't let anybody, under the guise of false issues and inflmned passions, thrust their foot into the door that insures you complete beedom of information, with the right, in the light of com- plete knowledge, to arrive at your own conclusions." (Excerpts from Jackson (Ga.) Progressive Argus editorial) Some time ago a San Francisco citizen wrote to a uanciaf editor of his town aakinq advice on how to in- vest most wisely a thousand dollars he had saved. The editor passed on the request to top investment firms, and has been  a series of articles on sound and prudent investments volunteered by top-drawer financial brains of the West. With all. that expert counsel to him gratis, it should be a safe bet mort the ,ing,-uLtng cittmn will invest his grcmd wisely. But shoul&a t he, in  tell millions of 1 tel- low citizens, not only in San ,.o b ov the m=te, how in the devilwbetween the br3aev, the  md the tax collectorhe ever m to save up a th dollars in the first place?!
