Enough Class Rooms Just as the United States despite its might is failing to build roads to match the increase in motor vehicle traffic so is our country failing to build school facilities fast enough to keep pace with the growing output of children As a new school season opens the Office of Education in Washington reminds that while 48000 new class rooms wil be available this year the number actually needed is 431000 class rooms 252000 to erase the backlog of additional rooms needed last year 128000 for normal replacements of rundown buildings and 53000 needed for new pupils this year The needs seem to be excessive until the school people point out that total enrollment will jump 1691000 this year to the grand total of 32327000 in elementary and high schools There is not in sight an end to this increase in the number of new children coming along Last year saw the larges number of live births in our history They will he in schoo In five more years provided we have” class rooms for them To build enough school facilities to keep up with the race — human race —is a difficult' physical and financial adventure : Yet our task would be even larger if all the children no now being educated should suddenly acquire school opportun ities The office of education says fully 1410000 children never see a class room They are the physically handicapped the kids living far away from schools and the half "million chil dren of migratory workers ' We really do have a big job ahead of us don’t we? American opposite numbers have just about abandoned hope of getting Britain on an even economic keel on the present basis of affairs The fever they say did not kill the patient this time but the disease itself has not been cured and cannot be cured without new remedies Among the remedies being vaguely and rather nervously discussed are liberalization of American tariff policy to permit Britain to export more to this country and n stabilization am fund to maintain a better dollar-sterlin-g Anglo-America- relation It Is hard to ’ Im- agine two projects more likely to arouse congress By the same token the spring and summer economic crisis has forced the Churchill government to take a new look at the British defense program This has led Into a new look at the plan for west European defense elaborated - by General Eisenhower Must Revise NATO Together with many air fore planners here the British now believe that the NATO program must be revised They want more emphasis on air power more emphasis on new weapons and a reduced call for naval power and ground divisions in the line Forces so balanced the British say will be both better and cheaper It is hard to imagine" anything more likely to arouse Mhe French Germans and other continental allies than this “new concept” as Winston Churchill has called lb Truman Attracting Less Attention and Likes It Letter to The Editor Dear Editor I have taken the trouble to observe the nuisance of bottles and cans along the highway shoulders I was following a slow truck where some highway work was being done on- the road from Pine View dam to the south fork crossing and it gave me a chance to see plainly the hundreds of cans and bottles on the highway shoulder It looked as though the beer or pop was bought at the stands down the canyon was emptied while driving and the empties thrown out on the highway We all know of this condition the unsightly picture and the hazard for tires when one has to pull onto the road shoulder Glass is just as sharp in 20 years as the day it was broken Hie big question Is how to correct it I have a suggestion I think will help if enough people and organizations will help Ask for Deposit Pass a state law better a national law compelling all dispensers of beverage sold in cans or bottles to collect a deposit large enough to encourage the buyer to return the empty If in the case of a tourist who is driving on and would not care to return for the deposit they should slow down drop the empty out carefully so not to break It This would make a business or job for man or boy as they could cash in for the trouble of gathering up the empties It’s a Careless Habit This bottle and can nuisance is not only on the highway for we lave all seen the" results of this careless habit in private and public parks all over the forest picnic areas and camp grounds and in the city parking lots and parks This suggestion as written may not be enforceable But we have lawmaking bodies whose job it is to make it so - Now any person or organization who thinks well of this suggestion do your bit to put it over in a way which will clean up the empty bottle and can nuisance One-wa- y bottles should be outlawed Sam Jost 666 22nd St - Merry-Go-Round- S ke THOUSANDS Governor J Bracken Lee of Utah wants to bet Governor Dan Thornton of Colorado that on next election day the num her of actual

Liability Insurance Company put its research department to work on the idea and came to the conclusion that 25000 traffic deaths a year in the United States are caused by acts of rudeness and discourtesy Safety council people urge every motorist to test himself as to his courtesy on the highway by asking himself and answering such questions as the following: Do I drive at excessive speed or exceed lawful limits? Do I pass other cars on hills or curves? ' Do I follow too closely the car ahead? Am I a road hog? Do I inconsiderately make turns from the wrong traffic lane? Do I endanger others as well as myself by driving after drinking? rr Am I the sort of boor who fails to dim lights for other J drivers? f Do I aggressively deny another driver the right of way and do I obstinately insist on it if the other fellow happens i to he out of line? Do I weave in and out of traffic? Do I double park? Do I refuse to wait for pedestrians who may be crossing the street when the light turns? while waiting for Do I block the pedestrian cross-wal- k the light? Do I bullishly try to bluff other drivers? Do I fail to use the horn when necessary to warn other drivers or do I irritate drivers and pedestrians by unnecessary use of the horn? Do I fail to give proper hand or directional signals?
