Millions of motor vehicles will crowd our Nations highin junk yards ways. Current trends indicate many will end up and thousands of their occupants will complete the holiday of in hospitals or morgues, stalk testimony to the inadequacy our traffic safety programs. . The motor vehicle has become a virtual necessity in our of Amerisociety. It contributes tremendously to the strength our of one it is side greatest a sinster ca, but it also has killers. In the last five years! alone, it has killed more than count190,000 men, women, and chilcben and seriously injured less millions. While the development of the automobile has advanced With fantastic speed, traffic safety regulations in many respects are still in the horse and buggy stage. One of the biggest drawbacks in the field of traffic safety is public indifference to the enforcement of existing traffic laws and the need for stricter, regulations. It is not common for a police officer to be berated for making a traffic arrest when no accident has odcuii ed. A department from this lock the door after the hoi jo has been stolen attitude is long overdue. A typical example of the attitude can be found in the traffic laws of at least one state wherein drunk driving is no more than a misdemeanor unless bodily injury to someone other than the driver results. The penalty for a drunk misdemeanor can be as little as a fine and does not even call for the mandatory suspension of the drivers license. It would appear firing a gun just as logical to free a crazed man who had been on a crowded street and return his weapon to him. Two of the greatest dangers on our roads are the drunken and reckless drivers. Why should anyone feel compassion for them? Their actions show as much disregard for law and order as do the acts of a burglar who follows a carefully laid plan to steal in the night. Also, in many instances, they are a far greater threat to human safety.

More than 42,000 P.T.A. members in the European Congress of American Parents and Teachers this fall will join in the annual October Membership Month of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. Like their nearly 12 million counterparts on U.S. soil, these P.T.A. members who live overseas from Iceland to the Middle East, most of them on American military bases will encourage others to serve where you are: join the P.T.A. Serving the welfare of American children, wherever they are growing up, is the primary object of the National Congress. It has brought the P.T.A. into many areas of activity during its history. Since formation of the European branch in 1958, these activities have taken on new flavor: A European program of scholarships, similar to those provided by many state congresses in the United States, this year awarded $500 against tuition to American colleges for seven students; they were graduates of American overseas schools in Nouasseur, Morocco; Stuttgart, Berlin, Bitburg, and Heidelberg, Germany; and Vicenza, Italy. Concerned, like other P.T.A.s, with the interests of mentally and physically handicapped children, the European Congress has initiated a program of special class instruction for these youngsters, providing the funds for additional teacher assistants, helpers, and materials to be used in some 20 schools. educaForeign language tion, a natural interest for children whose parents are assigned overseas, has been a major interest of P.T.A.s in the European Congress. In Air Force schools, extending from Oslo to Libya and from the British Isles to Saudi Arabia, children in grades 3 through 8 are taking classes in foreign language this year.
