"We have always had and may continue to have for many years, deplorable community practices to which democracy and equity arc subordinated. Judging from our experience with the form of socialization which we call 'relief', discrimination in assignment of patients according to race, color and creed will be established upon a firmer basis, to an extent hitherto unknown in many communities, by the socialization of medicine."

WALSH Mark Tain once remarked that many people were complaining about tlie weather but nothing much was being dune about it A similar situation might be said to exi as far tlie traffic proMem is concerned. There ate complaints enough from all sides but with the exception of officials aotually engaged in traflic work nothin much is being done about it. The public must be aroused to tiic importance of its part in aiding in the reduction of traffic accidents. To completely solve the traffc problem requires the massed intelligence of all our people. There must be a wholehearted and unrestricted cooperation among citizens in every walk of life.

A sens of values must be developed until the rights of everybody is considered thus assuring safe use of our streets. Records show that more than fifty percent of all fatal motor vehicle accidents are the result of collisions between pedestrians and motorists. While the motorist is getting more and more safety wise there is murh need for improvement on the part of the pedestrian. Ridiculous as it may sound the public must be taught how to walk. Education ew tne pedestrian is a vital factor in tne reduction of traffic accidents.

He must be taught to obey signals, stop crossing a Street diagonally, cease stepping from behind parked vehicles into tlie path of moving traffic and performing other careless acts which cause collisions. In fact the pedestrian must recognise the rights of ttie motorist as much as he insists the motorists recogniie his rights. Both should consider the other.
