First, the road. Second, the car. Third, the human element—yourself. Practically every automobile accident can be traced to one of these three factors. And the third is infinitely the more im- portant. Highway engineers have done ‘their part to make driving safer—they have given us model highways, with scien- “tifically constructed turns and the safest of “surfaces. Automobile development is safer bodies, brakes, steering, lights and tires have been nothing short of sensa- tional. For every accident that can be blamed on the road or the automobile, a dozen can be blamed on the driver. It is an es- tablished fact that the bulk of accidents oceur on good, straight highways in ordi- nary weather, and involves cars whose me- chanical condition is adequate. Ap- parently, if a road and a car are produced which make it safe to drive ten miles an hour faster than in the past, a legion of drivers will at once start driving twenty miles faster—and the inevitable result is & mounting accident toll” The present year is witnessing a tre- mendots increase in accidents over 1983 —if the trend continues a new high in fatalities may be established. The cure is knowledge that tells you how to drive un- der all conditions, and a sense of the re- sponsibility you owe to all who use the public highway. If every motorist would start an individual safety campaign of his own the automobile accident record would go into a tailspin. THE PRESS AND THE NRA (Editor and Publisher) When the committee of the American News- paper Publishers’ Association told President Roose- velt and General Hugh S. Johnson, at the outset of the long discussion of an NRA code for newspapers, that the principle did not apply to the newspaper business, and ‘that it would be difficult, if not im- possible, to formulate a code which would work for all kinds of daily newspapers, Gen. Johnson scoffed and said he could write a satisfactory code in a hal? hour. It was a flip remark, which seemed to amuse gentlemen who imagine they know all about the newspaper busi though they have never owned or operated a newspaper, and it was spread by members of the American Newspaper Guild as the son’s best joke. If other businesses were to be compelied to accept codes, Re newspapers could, too. sal we constitute ypocrisy, these Is preaching narrow-souled indivi recovery, whi fusing to make any personal sacrifices in Sueh was the talk in the fall of 1933.
