THE ORACLE chien nmaniateireirannitmennnmnmcenssiieed i COURTESY TO SAVE LIVES) A traffic expert in a large city - OXry pr@ssed the opinion that most fatal traffi¢ mighaps would not have occurred “if the driers. involved had not been heedless of@the rights of others.” Consequently, Mishael. J. Athearn, traffic chief of Chi- cago, points out that every fatality vobyes not only a violation of traffic laws, buf “an act of discourtesy as well.” The observation of this expert empha- siz@s the necessity for constant vigilance in he enforcement of all traffic regula- tious.

At other times, it is*apparent that drivers do not prefer to await their turn, but take chances in trying to get somewhere quicker than pre- vailing traffic permits. in+ “WET BACKS” A PROBLEM whe “wet backs” are causing the gov- ernments of the United States and Mex- ico §ome concern, as they swim the Rio Gratide in an effort to find employment in the United States, where opportuni- ties for work are much better than in Mex- ico, > ‘The illegal entrants are welcomed by fruit, vegétable and cotton growers, who need. fihor to work and harvest “their cropg, Bit objection is being heard to the use Sof thésé migrants, whose presence tends to cttt down the eniployment ‘op- portunities of native Americans. ‘While the “wet back” is a problem of the Southwest, the same issue has been raised in the Eastern States where agri- culugal labor has been imported from Jamfica and other places under contracts of @mployment. The politicians in New York City, interested in the vote of Puerto Ricans, are anxious to stop the contract- labor. practice so that jobs in the areas surrounding New York City will become available to the unemployed Puerto Ricans now, gn xelief, HELPING THE ASIATICS The president of the India League of America, Sirdah J, Singh, expresses the hope that. the United States “will play its due and proper role in helping the Asian democracies to provide better stan- dards of living for their people.” His remarks were made as Ambassa- dors of several countries welcomed Dr. Ali Sastroamidjojo, the first Ambassa- dor to this country from the Republic of the United States of Indonesia. He ex- plained that the leaders of his country ake aware that their economic system must not remain as it has been but, that it must “benefit the mass of the people.” The problem that is being faced in Southeast Asia was noted by Ambassa- dor G. C. S, Corea, of Ceylon, who point- ed out that “abject poverty and an un- reasonable low standard of living” con- stitute danger, “if there is any danger in that area of the world.” The Ambassador from India, Mme. Vijaya Lashmi Pandit, named Commun- ism as the immediate threat to Southeast Asia but urged that it be combatted with “better food, better education for the masses of the peoples in freedom-loving Asian countries.” Then, in her opinion, the people would “have something to fight for and build on.” Let us assume that the ambassadors of the peoples of Southeast Asia are calling attantion to the vital needs of their regions and then revert back to the suggestion that the United States play “its due and proper role’’ in helping these people. Just what is the role that the United States should play? Certainly, this na- tion, despite its wealth, cannot under- write the standard of living and the edu- cational facilities that will be necessary for the millions of poverty-stricken Asiat- ies. Above all that anyone in the world can expect from this country is that we play our part in creating a world that will grant equal opportunities to all peoples fer’ their oayn |jadvancement. This means, of ‘course, that} we must be somewhat un- sélfish\imiigannection with the tremendous marketithabe ists in this country and, per- haps,f age other people to sell their produe here they can make the most money Which; it seems, means in this country: Fe ——e——eeeeeeeeeeee The opening of the baseball season,re- minds us that the nation would have less erime ifdt had more baseball for the youngsters.

Vote on May 2. nd INTELLIGENT BUT IDLE There are. many prominent educators who «think that’ our schools should be training more boys and girls for the bet- ter-paid, semi-skilled and highly-skilled occupations. This seems like a sensible suggestion to us. In the case of too many young people today, education instils desires without doing anything to assist the stu- dent to obtain objectives set up as a re- sult of school training. The popularity of education is not as some educators seem to think, to an abstract worship of intelligence. The public has supported education in the past because for many years, an edu- cated individual was reasonably certain to secure a greater economic return than an uneducated person. Today, in Monroe County and else- where, thousands of well - educated young people facethe prospeet of unemployment. They have gone through various factories of education ohly to discover that the fin- ished product of the mills is not in giteat demand. The result is that some of them, undoubtedly, are questioning the benefits which flow from education. The purpose of education, in general, should be ‘to fit the individual student for life in society. This should include many lessons which are not usually dis- covered in text-books. In time, it must consider the possible adaptation of the pupil to necessary requirements conneet- ed with the making of a living. due, {State Democratic Primary, THR KRY WEST CITIZEN CHARLES DUERKES I see by the papers that the Governor teels the same as I do about Mr Robert Montgomery's radio ramblings about our town.
