GOVERNMENT PRINTING Due to the CWA, AAA and other gov- ernment activities throughout the country,- the government printing office has been taxed immeasurably by the demands for printing supplies and stationery essential to the proper handling of those activities. Besides, as the government’s aim is to increase employment, Senator Park Tram- mell has introduced a bill that, if it be- comes law, will give printers throughout the country an opportunity to do that gov- ernment work. The bill amends section 11 of chapter 86 of the acts of the sixty-fifth congress as approved March 1, 1919, with the fellow- ing provisions: “Provided, That the independent agencies and administrations ‘au- thorized by the first and second ses- sions of the Seventy-third Congress to meet the national emergeney may, until June 30, 1935, upon competitive bids, contract for and purchase blanks, blank forms, printing materials, en- velops, and stationery necessary for the use of fieldwork and Government offices and agencies located outside of the District of Columbia: And pro- vided further, That such contracts and purchases, when fair and reasonable prices can be obtained, shall be given to printing establishments and dealers in stationery and the materials re- quired who are located in the general locality where the supplies and ma- terials are to be used: And provided further, That where the emergency makes it advisable, purchases and con- tracts may be made upon a little as ten days’ notice inviting bids.” “DON'TS” FOR WRITERS Most advice to writers consists of long | ___. lists of “‘don’ts.” And if you ask us, if we were really giving advice we should em- body it in one big “don’t.” It would be: Don’t pay too much attention to lists of “don’ts.”” Obviously, a writer should have ‘a working knowledge of the language, in- eluding familiarity with the tules of syntax, and at least a nodding acquaintance with rhetoric, and some other phases of the phrasemaking art, the names of which have for the moment eseaped us. The beginner should stick rather closely to the rules, at least until he learns how to break them effectively. Ad- herence to a severe style is a safe course until one really has something to say. Then, if ever sueh a thing happens, it is a good idea to say it in the most direct and forceful manner possible, even though a rule or two gets smashed in the process. On the other hand, rules should not be broken merely for the sake of hearing their bones crack. If the thought can be con- veyed attractively and effeetively by a strict observance of all the niceties, well and good, But some writers appear to be more concerned with displaying their knowledge of the rules then they are with expressing the alleged idea they have in mind. Consequently their productions have about as mu¢h animation and warmth as the text of a chattel mortgage. Language is primarily designed for the expression of thought, or the concealment thereof. ‘In either case, rules are a means and not the end. The important thing is to make plain what you are driving at, as well as that at which you are driving. SPEED LIMITS Tt has been rather welf established that laws which arbitrarily fix speed limits for automobiles are little protection against accidents. The speed at which one may safely drive depends upon the road and traffic conditions involved. A high executive of one of the leading automobile manufacturing companies, who has made a close study of speed™in its re- lation to accidents, declares that 50 or even | 60 miles an hour over good open roads in the country may be safer than 15 miles an hour in cutting corners in town. The safe driver is not necessarity the slow driver, but one who uses common sense whether driving fast or slow. Care- less driving while turning corners, passing pedestrians or other cars, crossing railroad tracks and maneuvering in congested traf- fic is the greatest menace to life and limb. Sense, not speed, is the important factor in determining whether a driver is safe or unsafe. oy SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1982. ecccccceccovccccccccccccscccccccovescecocece | e2ececocecsosceseceseses | Daily Cross-word Puzzle sages ; Flock of 8 | youns, il .
