MEMPHIS WON SAFETY PRIZE
~ The sixth annual National Traffzgsafety
Contest has - just announceq the winners
for 1937. Memphis won the national grand
prize and Massachusetts for states. There
were 1,101 clties and forty-two states
participating in the contest. The members
of the committee were of outstanding
prominence, among them being, Thomas
H. McDonald, chief of the U. S, Bureay of
Public Roads, chairman; Pay] G. Hoff
man, president of the Automobile Safety
Foundation and of the Studebaker Cor
poration, and D. D. Fennell, president of
the National Sagety Council,
It is of unusual interest that a southern
city was awarded the prize in that a ma
jority of the contestants were cities in
othe. sections of the country. However,
in ‘announcing the prize winner, the
judges had the following to say of Mem
phis:
“It was the city’s comprehensive safety
prcgram and its many well-rounded and
constant activities that brought it the
granc prize. We were impressed especi
ally by the educational activities of the
city along safety lines. In the field of
traffic enforcement, too, there was out
standing activity. Street improvements
were numerous also. Then, too, the judges
were impressed tremendously by the safe
tv leadership shown by Memphis in a sec
tion of the country which previously has
not achieved a good safety record.”
Remarkable as it mav seem, Memphis
had only thirty-four traffic fatalities dur
ing 1937, compared to five-hundred in
1936 and 29.3 below the three year aver
age,
gMemphis requires each motor vehicle in
the city be inspected three times a year
and during 1937 checked 95 per cent of
its cars. All but three of 53 elementary
and junior high schools have standard
schiool safety patrols. There were 50
Junior Safety Councils. The playground
commission supplemented school safety
activities with further instruction and pro
grams, : s S R
Such a record is one to be proud of and
one that should be emulated by all com
munities. lln this city, the people are to
he congratulated on the small number of
casualties during the past several years.
However, every possible effort should be
made to keep the record of safety up to
a high standard. Tt can be done, if the
people and motorists will practice care
and be on their guard when driving. The
streets and highways are not for careless
and reckless drivers, but are for sane and
careful drivers. The road hog and the
drunken driver should be dealt with in no
uncertain terms and when they are
brought before the courts on such offen
ses, the extreme penality of the law
should be imposed. Compromising and
suspending sentences only breed increas
ing crimes of this character and unti]l the
courts recognize the importance of heavy
fines and long term sentences, the evil
will not be abated.
RIGHTS OF A FREE PRESS SUPREME
’ Since the decision of the United States
‘Supreme Court voiding an crdinance en
‘acted by the city council of Griffin, Geor
gia; which prohibited the distribution of
‘pamphlets, circulars or other forms of
publicity and advertising was handed
‘down, a number of other contested cases
have been set aside. In other words, the
‘Supreme Court of the United States has
sustained the rights of the freedom of the
press in this country.
~ The New York Times in discussing a
case in which Mayor Hague of Jersey City,
N. J., had caused to be made an issue in
police court of that city affecting the free
dom of the press, has the following to
say:
“This contention the Supreme Court
upheld, without dissent, when it invali
dated an ordinance of Griffin, Ga., forbid
ding the distribution of ‘circulars, hand
books, advertising or literature of any
kind’ without written permission. Chief ‘
Justice Hughes, who delivered the decisi-‘
on, pointed out that the ordinance was
‘ot limited to “literature” that ig obscenei
or offensive to public morals or that ad
vocates unlawful conduct.” It could be'
used against any printed matter, however |
innocent. It could have been used against
the pamphlets by whim Tom Paine fired
the Revolutionary armies, or against the
authors of The Federalist. Surely every
American who values his country’s tradi
tions will rejoice in the Supreme Court’s
reiterated emphasis on the ‘vital import
ance of protecting this essential liberty
from every sort of infringement.” ”’ ;
In its decision, the Supreme Court, said
in part: “The liberty of the presg is not
confined to newspapers and periodicals,
but necessarily embraces pamphlets and
leaflets”. So it will be seen, from the‘
ruling of the Supreme Court, that the
press rights of the country are ma}'ntamed:
and sudtained regardless of criticism or
ruling of inferior courts. |
Abraham Lincoln called his cabinet
members into session on Sept. 22, 1862,
for the purpose of reading the important
paper now known as the Emancipation
Proclamation, but first he read them two
chapters from the humorous writings of
Artemus Ward,
In the early history of life, cacti had no
spines. The spines gradually took the
place of leaves, due to the necessity for
protection, and to the arid conditions un
der which the plant was to live. But,
even, now, the tender rudimentary leaves
make a brief appearance before the spines
push out.

l A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING—
'| NOT MUCH OF ANYTHING
BY HUGH ROWE
The parking problem appears
to be one with many perplexi
i ties that is impossible to solve.
| At least, it is causing much
‘ concern on the part of officials.
From early morning until busi
|ness closing hours in the after
]m’mn, parking space is at g pre
|mium on the streeis, especially in
the business districts, Of course,
a majority of these gutomobiles are
owned by local people engaged in
business and professions. However,
when the parking space is taken by
local autoists, it creates a great
inconvenience for out - of - town
‘shoppers and visitors passing
‘thmugh the ¢ity. There have been
several suggestions offered as a
'remod_\' for this inconvenience, but
gnone of them so far have been put
limn actual practice,
‘ One which appears (o appeal
} to the public mind is the estab
lishment of a municipal park
ing lot, conveniently located in
the down town business dis
trict. . |
This arrangement to be made
and operated by the municipal
authorities, the charges for park
ing to be fixed at the nominal sum
of ten cents for any length of time,
‘one hour or one day, just enough
to pay expenses of operation. It
‘would not be expected nor intended
by the city officials to profit from
the parking lot, but stmpwy to rur
‘nish a place convenient for the
local people as well as out-of
town shoppers and tourists. Such
an arrangement is a ncessity and
an obligation for the city officials
to provide, It is hoped that at the
next meeting of the mayor and
council, that these gentlemen will
decide on a definite program for
the solution of the parking prob
lem.
However, we must remember
that Athens is not the only

city in the country that is hav
ing trouble over the parking
situation, It is everywhere, here
and there.
In Washington, D. C., the people
are up in arms against the mem
bers of Congress legislating pref
erential parking space for their
own use. It is glleged that the local
citizens would not complain, if
these officials would confine their
parking around the' Chapitol, and
when down town, park their cars
under the regulations citizens are
requireq to observe, This they do
not do, so it is alleged, but Con
gressmen and Senatorg park In
front of hotels, picture shows, for
indefinite periods while local citi
zens are restricted to a limited
number of minutes,
l It is true that the public is
hard to please, but in the case
of Congressmen and Senators,
with the exception of parking
around the Capitol, they should
. be required to live under the
same rules as local people.
]..'Parking space around the Capi
tol should be held exclusively for
official parking. Congressmen and
Senators have their offices on these
grounds and are entitled to the
use of the parking space, but when
they monopolize public parking
space, then they should be called
and given to wunderstand thag no
preference will be allowed or dis
crimination shown on account of
| official position. When that ig
done, the citizens of Washington
will feel that they have been
treateq fairly and we do not be
lieve that further qisturbances will
arise in that eity.
