FAST DRIVING Is it not high time some "pinch- ing" was meted out to autoists who persist in going through town at such terrific rates of speed? -Scarce- ly an hour of a day passes that some car does not exceed the speed limit out of all common sense or reason. Why these fool -hardy drivers persist in breaking the law and thus endanger life and property is hard to understand. No wonder there are so many damage law suits.
