Show 7 POINTS OF VIEW CALL FOR CODE OF GOLDEN RULE it occurs to me said bald george IL cautious at the weekly meeting of 0 the howanis club that we need some sort of 0 a national ont lonal code or agreement fixing filing more definite regulations regulation for individual points of view there Is an old expression that circumstances alter cases it might have been broadened to include the observation that circumstances alter points point of view and that what a nan man thinks think and feels one moment may be wholly foreign to his mental reactions the next take for example the man who drives its his car downtown all the way down and while he be Is going through the business district he be la Is motor minded lie he toots his horn for pedestrians to get out of the way and fumes if the sign changes sooner than he expected but the moment he parks his car and hegins begins to walk his fits point of view changes and bo be becomes pedestrian minded lie ile Is severely critical of motorists who do exactly what he did a few minutes before now kow then it seem to me that there ought to be a middle ground somewhere such persons and that means all of us should be more tolerant of pedestrians when they are driving and inclined to br be broader minded when they are walking 1 I know a citizen who nho becomes furious when he be finds that a lawn sprinkler Is throwing water where he be has to pass cut but when he reaches ills his own home he Is likely in season to start the sprinkler going and the spray causes pedestrians to go into the street to avoid a wetting I 1 know men who permit their shrubbery to cover most of the sidewalk and who declare that the shrubbery of other like minded citizens should be torn out by the roots every day we see men and women do things they to do not want others to do it Is proper for them it seems to take up enough room in a street car for two iwo persons if they see somebody else do it they declare that something should he done about it maybe the golden rule would be code enough for all of us but we seem to be oft off the golden standard and I 1 have mentioned the matter here today in the hope that some of you gentlemen might suggest a way out of our difficulties cul cult ties les indianapolis news |
