We used to write editorials about safety on the highways Baseball was generally conceded the peacetime national pastime, but some said it was basketball and some said wrestling and some said boxing and for a small but emphatic lobby for crossword puzzles. Well, just to be different, we submit that the great peacetime pastime in the land of millions of automobiles was traffic deaths, a little game with no standardized and approved rules, but which was pretty well understood by everyone. I said the rules werent standardized, but that doesnt mean there arent rulebooks. Practically every state highway department, as well as the insurance companies handling automobile and liability and life insurance, publish a rule book. You read the book, and then to play the game you do everything just the opposite of how the rule says. In otherwords, if the object of football was to make fouls instead of touchdowns, youd read the football rule book the way you read the state highway department driving manual to play traffic deaths. Now dont stand there and try to tell me traffic deaths doesnt or didnt before the war stack up with baseball in importance because the newspapers dont give it the kind of a play they do the horsehide sport, Thats what got me started on this a big n black headline in last evenings Telegram which said 4 Week-En- d Traffic Deaths Boost Toll 23 Above 1941. three-colum- Vk fir. L deaths had rolled up a total of in our own d state, and think of what the score must be in some of the states that really go in for it! Just like July 4 is a big baseball day and Thanksgiving Day is a big football day, any sort of a holiday or week-en- d and there are at least 00 of them in a year is a big time for the great national sport of traffic deaths. And when you put a national holiday and week-en- d together, making a three-da- y or a four-da- y holiday, then, brother you really got something! The game is so big and so important that we roll up a national score of 300 or 400 sometimes, and the press associations carry tabulations like for a national election. Now that the war is over and the wartime sjieed limit is lifted and gasoline is off rationing, were really getting back, into the swing of our bloodthirsty sport, as a nation. Tired old cars and thin, cracked old tires make our equipment the best possible for the game (remember, you read the drivers thinly-populate- handbook backward!) Well probably run up some scores that will make pre-wrecords look positively anemic, and accordion some cars so that folks "ill come from miles around and gather in crowds to comment on what a beautiful game someone played.

Days celebration here in Brigham City would fill this column, and might be rather uninteresting reading to all except those whose names were listed. And thats the reason Peach Days, 1945, was so successful. This year, for the first time since the war started, you could feel as you looked on at I each Days that it was a group en terprise, and a large group at that. The work of virtually every club and organization in Box Elder county dould be detected income phase or other of the two-da- y program. Tou got the idea, which used to be so evident in Beach Davs, that everybody had pitched in and helped. It wasnt just a celebration promoted Lv a few Box Ekler countians; it was a festival by all Box Elder county. Although ended, the war had left its mark on I each Days, 1945. The availability of crepe paper, and the total unavailability of lumber and some other matt rials, the shortage of time people had to Mare from their jobs, the demands of orand seasonal activities may dinary every-da- y have made Beach Days seem more like a wartime celebration than a peacetime celebration, but it was there just the same, the evidence that everyone had helped, just as Huy used to do.
