Moreover, more than ninety per cent held to the belief that relief is a valid | responsibility of the Federal Government. Undoubtedly the young people of the United States today are faced with prob- lems which differ greatly from those that their parents faced. They approach them with new ideas largely based upon the ex- perience of the last ten years. They do not bow down before old in- stitutions in reverence, neither do they ac- cept ancient theories without question. They look for results and, strange as it may seem, it is not alv the profit motive EIT. that moveeth ait velopment for the United States thg that formed our past history.

He insists that “most of the accidents are caused by doing things that already know are wrong.” There is undoubtedly much truth in this assertion. Almost every driver knows that it is wrong te pass another vehicle on a curve or while ascending a hill, but the tendency to take a chance often overtakes our caution, Mz oceasionally, there is a causing death or serious injury responsible we times, we get by, byt, accident, Similar central serious examples could be cited but the idea is the same.
