on the roads and a yearly average of fewer darkness than day-
light hours.
Safety in night driving is entirely a question of visibility,
and there are, therefore, only two ways by which night accidents
can be reduced. One is to provide increased visibility wherever
possible; the other is to acquire the habit of increased caution
wherever visibility is below daylight standards.
If that seems overstressing the obvious, it is only because
drivers and pedestrians have allowed themselves to become over-
confident. Twenty thousand nighttime traffic deaths in a year
cannot be laughed away. -
The responsibility for adequate street lighting rests squarely
with the community concerned. The cost is small compared with
the saving in life and property.
Away from city limits on roads which* are nggdrtificially
Fighted, responsibility rests with individual travelers. Automo-
bile headlights giving the same visibility as normal daylight have
- not been invented, and motorists must make allowances accord-
ingly. If a driver cannot stop within his headlight range, he may
have the doubtful satisfaction of seeing what he is going to hit,
only a split fraction of a second before he hits it. It may well be
the last thing he will ever see.
Military Air Transport Vital
Time and distance have always been the bogeymen of mili-
tary supply lines. In the last war these two factors became more
menacing as battles moved farther from production lines in the
long push across the Pacific toward Japan. In many vital in-
stances air transport successfully solved the problem of time and
distance.
Shortly before the opening of a major engagement in the
Pacific a destroyer burned out some boiler tubes. New tubes
would not have arrived for weeks if surface transportation had
been the only available mode of shipment. The Naval Air Trans-
port Service flew the needed supplies 8,000 miles. Repairs were
made in time for the destroyer to meet the flotilla rendezvous
and take part in the action as scheduled.
Many thousands of similar vital deliveries have been made
by the Air Transport Services of the Army and Navy. New parts
flown to the scenes of far-flung operations have enabled equip-
ment to be put back into use weeks before surface supplies could
have even been delivered. Everything from tiny radar parts to
a giant battleship propeller has been delivered by air.
In any future war time and distance will be deciding factors.
The rapid movement of men and supplies by air will be vital.
There won’t be time to build “airlines” like the Army and Navy
did during the last war. The Military Air Transport Service must
be increased in size and the efficiencies and economies inherited
from its predecessors must be maintained, and improved on where
possible._____________-
Dedicated to the spirit of civic progress; to the
unification of the townspeople in a common purpose for
the betterment of our community; to our churches, schools
and homes, that Kermit shall ever be a good place in
which to live and rear our children. And, above all,
honesty, decency, justice, tolerance, jaith in Almighty
God—these shall be our citadel. —N.H.W.

Leonard Bradford
Wins Fraternity
Loving Cup
Leonard Bradford, son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. Bradford of Kermit,
a student at North Texas State
College, Denton, and an active
member of Trojan Fraternity
since 1947, received the most
votes by secret ballot and was
awarded the huge loving cup for
1948, which is the most dis-
tinguished honor that can be be-
stowed upon an active member.
The presentation of the trophy
took place at the Spring Formal
which was held1 at the Adolphus
Hotel in Dallas April 3.
The huge loving cup stays in
the fraternity but each winner is
awarded an individual trophy and
his name appears on the huge
cup.
This tradition was begun by Dr.
R. L. Conrad, former sponsor, in
1938 and was presented to Win-
fred Taylor first and followed by
Tom Barton in 1939, and in 1940
by LeRoy Hinton. Bill Eubanks
won it in 1941, and Ralph George
in 1942. In 1943 the honor went
to Johnny Chambers. Welby Wil-
