Nov. 11, 1936 Free thinkers are generally those that never think at all- Laurence Stern. The Altoona Tribune The World and Its People -By R. W. B.

ACCIDENTS, INQUESTS, SAFETY AND INDIFFERENCE SAFETY the streets and highways deserves place on A the national program of vital needs. A national campaign is succeeding in reducing the toll; but the moment vigilance relaxes, death strikes again, IN Wisconsin yesterday, the promising career of the son of a famous physician wAS cut Mayo, short 34, WAS when killed Josephs automobile collided with 8 train. IN this instance, a single fatal automobile accident may have vast and unfortunate results for mankind. A career may have aided science in that, fight to save life been brought to a close just as it was beginning. HERE.

in Blair county, are to be seen more immediate needs for safety. During the first nine months of this year, 26 persons have been killed in automobile accidents in this county. And in the same period, 382 persons were injured. many of them critically, some maimed for life, in 407 auto accidents. That's a small percentage of accidents in which no one was injured.

KNOWLEDGE of how every accident is of every detail connected with vital if the nation is to attack the traffic toll with a degree of success. AT the new traffic training school at College, "the prime object will be to train the officers to learn by investigation what causes the accident," Col. Lawrence B. Tipton, administrative director of the school, told a Blair county group two weeks ago. "Accidents are caused by someone.

they don't just happen." said Col. Tipton. HERE, in Blair county, that careful, official investigation seems to be lacking, at least so far as inquests are concerned. There have been four fatal automobile accidents in this county since June in which inquests have not been held. and in which decisions have not been rendered.

And there are at least two other fatal accidents, in which automobiles did not figure, which. so far as is known publicly, have not been investigated at formal inquests, or decisions as to their cause rendered. ON June 27, four persons were killed in an auto crash on the Buckhorn. There has been no inquest. ON August 5, two persons were killed, and 1 13 injured.

when a Greyhound bus overturned on the William Penn highway miles east of Yellow Springs. There has been no inquest. ON September 25, an East Sharpsburg man was killed near Roaring Spring, when struck by an auto as he walked along the road. There has been no inquest. PLATES All Styles--Lower Prices DR.

Chairman John Cover ON October 1, a in ville this city was when fatally, auto injured and truck collided. Two other persons were hurt. There has been no inquest.

EIGHT persons dead in automobile accidents and the cases apparently still marked "open for investigation!" Pohave made their routine investigations. and none makes more thorough inquiries than the state highway patrol, but it seems that surely here are four cases that warrant the formality inquests, of official decisions! THERE are many things 8 organized community safety committee can accomplish, but official investigations are not among them; they are up to the the or district attorney, who may demand an inquest, or an official decision from the constituted authorities. INDIFFERENCE causes 88 many accidents as negligence. Last fall, the Tribune opened 8 vigorous safety campaign. This newspaper WAS one of the first in the state to undertake an active campaign to make the public safety-conscious.

THE Tribune's campaign had the endorsement of Governor George H. Earle, local members of the highway patrol and the city police. Ever since last year, The Tribune has been trying to keep safety alive in the minds of the people. CONSTANT alertness is the way to do it. The moonly, awareness of danger relaxes, accidents "are caused." ARMISTICE DAY 1 A nation still at peace with the world was the fortunate lot of the United States on the 18th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice ending the World War.

Who could forget the hilarious scenes of the chill November day in France, 1918, when American doughboy, French poilu and men and women of all nationalities celebrated the return of peace? To commemorate that day. the American nation, led by its President, pays humble respects at Arlington National Cemetery to the Unknown Soldier, resting beneath the simple inscription: "Here lies the body of an American Soldier known but to God."

Herbert J. Tily, president of Strawbridge and Clothier, Philadelphia, outlined today two ways by which the well-managed store can contribute to human welfare. "The idealistic retail merchant, like the heads of other industries," Dr. Tily said in an address prepared for the closing sessions of the annual Pennsylvania Retail conference, "gets a thrill out of his activities in contemplation of the ramifying good that follows his efforts to serve employes, customers and society. "The better he does these three jobs, the larger the dollar reward which accrues to him as a byproduct of his idealism." Tily said the merchant contributes to human welfare by: James Lutheran church.

Andrew H.

Melville, an economics instructor in the extension service of the Pennsylvania State college, told the merchants answers to a questionnaire sent to more than 70 state and city universities showed 40 per cent do not offer special training for retailers, and that there is little uniformity in courses given by schools that offer such training. Melville said there was a need for extension work for beginners, experienced sales persons, and men and women in line for executive positions. Short Wave Message Finds Missing Son PITTSBURG, Nov. D. Charles Ewing, of nearby Apollo, twirled the dial on his short wave radio receiver and heard, in German: "Missing since 1903, believed to be in the United States, William Topper is wanted by his aged parents in Essen, Schonbruck, Germany.

They are old and lonely and they want to see their son before they die." Ewing wrote to the city police department's misang persons bureau and in 12 hours Lieut. Rickenbrode located William Topper in Wilkinsburg. The Wilkinsburg Topper said he is the missing son, but that he didn't see how the modest living his newsstand produces could finance a trip to Europe. He comforted his parents with a letter.
