We could begin with examples of elect~ve office-rs ill this county who can neither read nor wnte and show a not sharply rising scale ' of ability to the" highest positions in our federal government.

A FACE NEEDS WASHING

When w-e were children, we were taught to wash our faces and ·hand ~ , and }Ve should1 have laughed if we had been told to wish our faces and black our hands. But this applies to 1the colle.ge clock. It is quite true t hat its face should be washed and its hands need tD be blackened. Becaus.e the fac.e is di~ and the .hands faded, it is difficult to tell the time of day by glancing at the clock.

Students going to and from the library find tMt il takes more than a •l(asty view of the clock to tell just what time it is. Even he boys who daAb to the "smoke hole" for a bit of relaxation and r efreshment before they face ,the in5tructor for another hour, must watch the clock intently .to be sure of the exact minute when they must return to the classrooms.

PEDESTRIANISM

Stand in fr!l"nt o~ the post office for a f.ew moments any evening and notice the young men and women as t hey, move back and forth across the street. Y6u will see tlfat only a few cross the street at the corner; the great majority step into the stre-et from behind parked cars ani:J walk diagonally to the / ther side. ·

If anY of these "jay-walkers" were hit it would be . the same old ~tory " Pedestrian Hit by Careless Driv· er ." Is the driver necessarily careless because he ca.ny not be loolcing tbree directions at the sante titne-? 1 b he careless if h e. strikes a person on one side of the cars and walk diagionally to the -othe.r side.
