At the end of every year the
Department of Highways gives us
statistics and costs; The main fea
ture is the number of deaths and
casualties « caused by accidents.
Great sums ape spent ori high
ways to reduce the accident haz
ards. A great super highway is
going to foe built Moi’e "traffic
lights at strategic places. High
ways will be widened and visi
bility increased.. We are all quite
impressed by. the1 way our taxes
are spent. But for all this the de-
sired accident reductiion is not
produced. In fact it gets worse
every, year. We are beginning to
realize that fine highways, good
(traffic controls, huge signs, arid
traffic police do riot stop or re
duce the death and accident toll.
In this column we suggest that
“iHs a spiritual-problem; No; mat--
ter how good the. machine, or
safety devices, or other precau
tions, the weakness of the human
element enters. People still drive
under .the influence of alcoholic
beverages. Many drive who are
not physically Capable. Many
have driver’s perih its who should
not arid eventually lose them.
Many drive a car as if they were
the only person on earth. Cars
are made to go faster and faster.
Many people seem to lose their
ability to read the instructions
on traffic signs.
The greater pracitise of the
"GpIdenRule-nvou Id-reduce-racch-
derits. There should be more care
in issuing driver permits. Every
driver shbuld take a test every
year, Tests for the -fir-st-per-rriitS;
should ibe harder. No car. should
have a license till it is mechan
ically sound for the road. Young
people in secondary school
should jbe taught ' driving, and
highway rules. The Christian
church should take more/inter
est in this great social problem.
Many good people become very
bad when seated behind the
wheel of a powerful autoriiobile.
Halve you ever noticed that it is
’ always the other fellow’s fault
when two cars collide. * .

It is just twenty years ago
that Wm. M. Buckingham took to
writing a bit of poetry and he
says that the following poem was
his first effort.
When he showed it to the Pub
lisher two decades ago, Billy said
our comment was to the effect
that he “didn’t look like a fel
low whb could write poetry”, and
we queried him if he had writ
ten it himself.
AnyhoWj here’s the poem: ■

The famous Scottish bard,
" Who lived the humble peasant’s
__ _ . life,^ j /
For hjhi tfie way was hard
His early life, was filled with toil,
He dreamed tof better days,
He gave expression to his soul
Without a thought of praise.
His life though* short was rich, in
■. love '
A love that only gives,
And like all Scotland’s famous
__ ' men .. .
His name immortal lives.
His lines have brightened many a
life "
Bowed down, and, sore oppressed,
And many a broken spirit has
By his bright poems, been bless

He sleeps today in Scottish soil,
We use a line he penned,.
There surely is a recompense" '
In death the poor man’s friend.
