e, The parking situation could easily
be solved by providing two parking
lots. One could readily be placed, as
a gravel strip, at the southern end of
the Horticultural Park; and the other
could be constructed on the east side
of Josephine street 'at the southern
limits.. Both parking lots would be
close enough to the business district,
and both would be handy to parks, if
a park is ever built at the south end of
Main Street. —
Another possible- safety' measure,
that appears feasible would be more
costly, and it'would take longer to ac-
complish; but it could be done, and it
should be done imiy'ediately. The road
pavement should 1.),,e widened so that
the curbs are flush with the side-
walks. By eliminating the two useless
areas between the curbs and the side-
walks another traffic lane will be added
to the roadway.
Our sidewalks are plenty wide
enough, and it would be still better if
the light standards and hydrants were
placed on the sidewalk, wilit the curbs
tinder the edge of the prreent side-
walk. That would give the in -intUre,
road pavement width, but at least the.
curbs, should be Moved back to :he
edge of the sidewalks.
This added traffic lane, all parallel
parking, and slower speed limit will
greatly help lessen our traffic problems
and it may save human livCs and limbs.
Do -we want to pay the price? or what
price safety?

by guile.
WAR OUTLAWED
. The International Military Tribunal
which conducted the trial of the lead-
ing Nazi war criminals and organiza-
tions at Nurnberg'' lifted war internat-
ionally to the status of murder on the
personal level, as a means' of settling
disputes,
The basis of this trial was to estab-
lish certain principles as fundamental
to international law. -For the first
time all treaties and conventions be-
tWeen nations have been fused into
the fact that ,var is now outlawed.
Those who wage aggressive war will,
when apprehended, be brought to trial
before the international court,
For the first time in 'history, the
leaders of a nation have been called
before the bar of justice to answer for
their crimes. Up to this time all such
national leaders were absolutely pro-
tected by the doctrine of national soy-
ereignity, but; henceforth, no state nor
orders from higher ups" will absolve
them from individual reeponsibility.
This unpredecented step is a trent-
endous edvaricement in lumen history
in that it makes even national leaders
responsible to the international court
for acts of unprovoked aggression, adds
important sanctions for the enforce-
ment of international law, and future
aggressors will count well their chan-
ces before they dare risk military act-
ion.
The International Military Tribunal,
which conducted the trial, was one of
the most able and distngttished groups
of legal and judicial talent ever assem-
bled. Few people will disagree with
the death sentences meted out to the
twelve Who are to die, but many will
think that prison terms are too.- short
that seven others are to serve,
There will be some criticism over
the three acquittals, but this leniency
given those undoubtedly guilty crim-
inals only helped to prove the justness
of the trial, They, as well as the con-
victed men, wee forever branded as
fiendish criminals. The inexorable •
verdict of history will be that justice
has been done.

WHAT PRICE SAFETY?
Wingltam's main street is a constant
traffic hazard during busy houtts, ft
Was 'a satisfactory thoroughfare as a
cow track, and later it served accept-
ably as a road in the horse and buggy
days, when the sticky mud slowed traf,
fic to a snail's pace; but Josephine
street is often unsafe and unsatisfac-
tory as a modern road.
This is the motor age and speed is
an accepted feature of our modern life.
We must have the amost possible
roa d fa cilities to handle safely and ef-
ficiently the faster and denser traffic
of to-day. Our main street is far too
narrow, but it is too late to remedy
that by widening the entire roadway,
We will have to pet up with this clan-
gerous, congested traffic artery for our
main street, and pray that we will be
spared serious accidents and fatalities,
We will always have speeders, traf-
fic violators and Jay Walkers to con-
tend With, We can't eliminate them
entirely but we can lessen the risks
they augment, Human lives and limbs
are worth more than money or the so,
called pleasure of excessive speed.
What are we willing to pay for safe-
ty?
Our principal business district on
Josephine street, from Alfred to Scott
streets, compares . favorably with busy
business districts of large cities, dur,
ing rush business hours, Therefore
we would profit by the safety measures
that other' places have had to take.
They have widened the streets to 'the
greatest possible width by moving the
curbs back in line with the sidewalks,..
they have enforced a parellel parking
l aw with a limit of one hour, or less,
parking at any one spot; 'and have
constructed parking lots- at strategic,
points.
We should eliminate all diagonal
parking, and have only parallel park-
ing. aids should be limited to one
hour in the business district, which
would eliminate the "Saturday night
squatters", who, go on a sit-down strike
in front of business places. Our main
street is far too narrow for any kind
of angle parking or pleasure parking.,
