By R. J. (Bab) EDWARDS
Danger At Locust And Sycamore
Wonder how many more accidents and how many
more near misses (not to mention frayed nerves) there
will be before the city repairs the traffic signal light at
S. Locust and Sycamore? The light changes sudden-
ly—without the usual yellow caution light facing the
Sycamore Street approach.
Changing as it does without benefit of the brief
“moment of grace," the overhead light often catches
cars barrelling into the intersections at right angles,
with both drivers thinking they have the right of way.
It is surprising that more accidents haven t occurred
at the intersection. Steps should be taken to remedy
the situation immediately. Or must we have a fatal
accident there before action is taken?

WASHINGTON Ufo—it would be
a bitter pill for them, but Negroes
would still be ahead if President
Elsenhower's civil rights bilt
wound up with nothing left but a
watered-down bit to protect their
voting rights.
Southern Democrats, shooting
to kill all four sections of the bill,
will fight it piece by piece. They
may not succeed entirely. But
they've already done it damage.
It seems certain whatever is past-
ed will be less than Eisenhower

R must be remembered that in
thia fight, when the Southerners
say they want to amend and
soften one section of the bill, they
have already said their aim in
th* end is to destroy altogether.
They have been banging away
at Section 4, which specifically
applies to the protection of voting
righto. Titis section says
Whoa aa individual’s voting
rights are violated — say by a
Southern registrar of voters who
won't let a Negro register — th*
attorney general can step in and
ask a federal judge for an order

gin Islands government and pays
the matching funds into the island
treasury.

nue tax on rum produced in the

For examples: ,
Why don’t all states give driver’s examinations be-
fore they issue driver’s licenses?
Why aren’t all highway signs and markers the same -
in allstates. and why aren’t they reflective So they
can be seen at night? \ * ,,
Why don’t we provide laws that punish reckless
drivers according to the tragedies they cause? For
example, wouldn’t it be common sense to put reckless
drivers in jail for at least as long as the Uma the
persons they hurt are in hospitals?
Why no* require all persons applying for a driver's
license to prove they have received professional driver
training, either from a public high school or other ac-
credited place? . . ,
There are plenty of things that could be done, if
only common sense were used. But, as the New York
Thruway study shows, many motorists don’t make
sens- — common or otherwise.
A careful study was made recently of the types of
service required by cars on the New York Thruway.
A total of 10.047 motor vehicles were involved in the
study, which was designed to determine why cars
become disabled and need aid on turnpikes. <
One of every three cars (3.418) just plain ran out of
gas
Of all the words written about the sad plight of our
highways, these seem to sum up much of the problem
t better than anything we know. Even on the best
roads and with their cars in good operating condition,
a lot of problems will develop because motorists don’t
use that inexpensive commodity — common sense.

Spero’s employes contribute J
