They are one of the major causes of increased fatalities and injuries in traffic accidents in recent years and are entitled 'to neither sympathy nor mercy. Official records do not show just how many lives were needlessly sacrificed bed driving. It is cause of - that more than 6,000 however,known, drivers had been drinking before they became involved in fatal accidents last year, and that another 2,000 pedestrians killed in traffic were in an alcoholic haze at the time. Thus, a toll of 8,000 to 10,000 lives in one year may be charged to drivers and pedestrians who had been drinking. Had 10,000 lives been lost in 500 Donoras in 1951, the nation would be hard at work e attacking the causes of such tragedies. Every community in the nation would be in a state of terror. Yet, the pracg continues to intice of crease, and each day drinking drivers claim more victims than an isolated Donora that alarmed the nation. Strict law enforcement and stern court penalties are needed to clear the highways of alcohol befogged motorists. An aroused public opinion can help, too, by making it unfashionable to drive after drinking. The deadly fog of drinking drivers will begin to lift only when the law and the hot breath of community indignation go to work on it in earnest. alcohol-cloude- man-mad- drinknig-and-drivin- ...

I have felt sqrry, thinking how lonely you would be. but Just hope you could keep busy enough not to let it get too much for you. Luckily, Edna and Grant are near, with their children, so you could see them occasionally. Thanks for all you did for me. It should seem good to have some peace and quiet again, without the telephone ringing all the time. Harriet wrote me last week. She said she and Leona Cheat intended to go to Logan to visit you one day. Vilate Jones Case also wrote. She said she had tried to call you several times before she finally contacted you. I was sorry to cheat you on sleep that night you took me to the airport. I couldnt see you after I got Into the plane, so I thought you had gone Inside at once. It was a cold night, but in the plane we were quite comfortable. When you go back to the farm, I hope you wont have to move a lot of things just after you get settled in Logan. Your house in Logan is very comfortable. Of course, I had to tell Mme Sikorska and the others in the department about the house, room by room. They wanted every detail, and they especially wanted to know how the family found the musical toilet-pape- r holder in the bathroom. After I described the .details of the house, Mme Sikorska said, Just think how wonderful it would be to have a home you knew you could stay in as long as you wanted to, and that no police-ria- n could come and tell you that the government had order to move you elsewhere so that r a more loyal than In the you could live there. countries where her family lives, the mere paying for a home" doesnt give any guarantee that you can stay in it.

Speed excessive, killing speed accounted for nearly half that number. Speed, claiming 13,300 dead and 471,000 injured victims in a single year, .. is the nations Killer No. 1. . While all traffic deaths declined from 1946 through 1949, even then fatalities on the open road kept creeping up. In 1950 a deadly spurt of speed .accidents claimed 3,200 more victims' in rural areas than it had the year before. Last year speed deaths again mounted. Why do driven race so heedlessly to destruction on the highway? Hardly to save time.' Scorching at. 70 is an invitation to disaster. Over any distance', 50 m.p.h. takes only a few minutes longer and offers a better chance of a safe arrival. When you start out with your family or friends, discount speed before you take off. Give yourself and other? in your car an extra margin of safety-bleaving earlier and holding your speed within bounds.

Before "the lifted, Big Smog e this cloud of destruction had dealt death to 20 people and made nearly 6,000 others ill. It was the first time in U. S. history that it could be stated with scientific positiveness that human beings were killed by air pollution. But every night, and particularly on weeke ends, a far deadlier fog descends on Americas streets and highways. It is the fog in the brain of the drunken driver, the fog that kills and injures hundreds befofe it lifts with the dawn of each new day. At Donora there were federal, state and municipal isvestigations of the Big Smog diseaster. Months later, when the inquiries were over, there "came the pronouncement from the United States Surgeon General: Donora proved to us that smog no longer is just a nuisance it is a menace to health." As a result, industrial communities have since endeavored to clean up n of the air by factory smoke to prevent a recurrence of a man-mafog that can prove so deadly. But what about the persistent plague of foggy drivers on the highways? Drinking drivers, safety specialists now agree, are an even greater menace to public safety than An We left New York at 4:30 on Sunday afternoon, turned our watches ahead six hours to 10: 30 p. m and we were in London at 10:15 a. m. Wasnt that wonderful? That was, as I said above, a nbn-stoflight from New York to London. I feel so enthusiastic now about having been able to fly without air sickness, so smoothly, that il would recommend flying to any. one who wants a recommenda durtion. We were so well-feing the trip, and so warm and comfortable. If is marvelous what can be done in these days. We flew at 16,000 to 20,000 feet elevation, so we were always above the storms.

United Nations Library, Geneva, Switzerland, February 7, 1932. , Dear Folks: I am really sorry not to have written you sooner, but if you ever knew the avalanche of work I have been trying "to get out from under," you would understand. They did a good Job of carrying-owhile I was away, but nevertheless, there are many things that had to wait until I got back. It was the end of the year, so that meant that I had my annual report, statistics, annual index, annual inventory of stock and supplies, not to mention the mail that was waiting on my desk and all the new books which had arrived in such stacks that they just couldnt keep up with them while I was gone. To me, it was a real satisfaction to see how much had accumulated because it shows that I really do a lot of work when 1 am here. There was also a lot of primers proof waiting for me to correct, and much new stuff to revise and send to the printer. When I think of all of the work i have done in these two weeks since my return, I wonder how I did so much in that time. 1 still have two more busy weeks ahead of me, then I hope to take it a bit easier. It was funny how I couldnt sleep so well when I was on vacation, and now I am so sleepy all of the time.
