the need for an extensive pedestrian
traffic safety education campaign.
"Ia addition to pedestrian traffic
safety education programs", Mr.
Maxwell recommended that "State
aad local highway construction programs incorporate safety features
where needed, including consideration
of adequate lighting".
Pointing oat that figures of the
Buresu of Motor Vehicles' safety department show thst 68 out of 140
pedestrians who lost their lives in
motor vehicle Occidents during February were pedestrians, Mr, Maxwell
advanced tbe suggestion that "the
pedestrian accident problem ean best
be met by two broad traffic safety
education programs.
"Something must be done to reduce pedestrian deaths although tbe
number killed In February of this
year ia 11 loss than ths 69 pedestrians
killed in the last pre-war normal year
of February, 1941", he ssid because
"it indicates aa upward trend as normal travel conditions are resumed.
"One of the broad pedestrian traffic safety education programs is designed especially to reach children
and ths other ia designed to reach
adults", Mr. Maxwell explained.
"PMF-AAA automobile clubs have
and sre conducting extensive school
safety programs, and hope to broaden
and intensify these programs in ths
future,*1 Mr. Maxwell stated. "Adult
safety education programs will slso
be expended in the future.

Everywhere we turn today we hear
about the deplorable conditions of
starving wsr - ravished countries.
Those of us who think of ths future
realize there is little hope for democracy in countries left weak from
hunger unlets ws help. Therefore,
sacrifices must be mads in order to
furnish them essentia*: food.
However, to paraphrase the old
saying "Charity begins st home," we
Americans might wall adopt /'Health
begins at home." For while we are
willing to produce and reduce consumption of certain vital products,
ths fact must not be overlooked that
a well-rounded diet is necessary to
maintain our own high standard ot
hsolth.
And speaking of s well-rounded
diet brings to mind the importance of
fata, whieh sre basically energy
giving foods. For years huge margarine companies, sash ss The Best
Foods, Inc., manufacturers of Nucoa,
have sponsored educational programs
to stress ths importance of proper
eating with emphasis * on vitamissd
margarine, pointing out Its nutritional value snd the legislative
angles that prohibit its sals to many
locales.
So tbat all people, not just a few,
msy have a tax-free spread for their
bread, pressure must be put ea oar
legislators to repeal restrictive legislation en this good snd nutritious

SPRINGTIME
by Ellen Irvin
Ne'er as in springtime is earth so fsir,
When days are sunny and bright
And ths sir is filled with song of birds
As they flit in the bright sunlight.
The blossoming trees lend s fragrance
sweet
To the freshness of the breeze;
Aad  a  beautiful carpet  of richest
green
Is spread o'er the hills and fields.
I
Oh, list to the song of ths brooklet
As it hurries on its way:
Over bright pebblee and shining sands
Through woodlsnd snd meadows
gay.
In every tree, and shrub and flower
A newness of life we sss . . •
And every voice and carol snd sound
Is alive with melody.
Oh, fair and lovely sprlngtims moral
With glad hearts we welcome thos
And to si the joys aad swsst delight
May we all sharers be. ___
