Killing on the Highways Is Far Worse Than Wars More people have been kill ed on the highways in the Uni ted States since the year 1900 than have been killed in all the wars the nation has fought during this period. A total of 1,501,000 have been killed on the highways in the last 64 years, while on’y 576,268 have been killed in wars in which the nation was engaged. In other words, cars on the highways killed nearly three times as many as were killed in the wars. Americans injured in traffic accidents totaled 52,850,000 in 64 years, while only 978,640 were wounded in wars in the same period. The people injured in traf fic accidents totaled more than 54 times the soldiers -- I 'A"# I TALMADGE! icrfs From Jg HINGTON AMERICANS ARE greatly concerned over the appalling war in South Viet Nam, and they ask what can be done to turn the tide in our favor. Unfortunately, no one in Washington seems to have the answer, and opinions differ great ly on what would be the best course of action for the United States to take. There are those who ad vocate getting into the war all the way, and others believe the United States has no business there and should pill out.

A new technique of chemical analysis makes it possible to iso late and identify the complex chemicals that make flavors in foods, according to Miss Lora Laine of the Cooperative Exten sion Service. She says food pro cessors may soon have the abil ity to enhance the flavor of food and incorporate it into entirely new food forms. Prune Now Now is an ideal time to prune all varieties of Muscadine grapes, according to C. D. Spivey, horti culturist with the Cooperative Ex tension Service.

I Carnage on the roads makes the wars seem safe in compari son with the deaths - and wounds of the wars. Added to the loss of life and the millions of injured people is the huge property loss caused by traffic accidents. The total property loss in 64 years' was more than three billion dollars. | No one can begin to esti mate the grief and the misery I caused by all these deaths, in juries and property losses. And every year the carnage on the highways gets worse. The automobile in the hands of reckless drivers has become the most deadly instrument of death of all time. mains that we are involved, and very deeply so. Because of our commitment to the Southeast Asia Treaty Or ganization, we are bound to as sist the South Vietnamese in re sisting Communist aggression. It appears at this point that we are obliged to stay in Viet Nam and to do the best that we can. The United States is now spending more than a million dollars a day to support the war, and hundreds of American men have been lost in combat. It might be well to ask if our SEATO allies, such as Great Britain, France, and Australia, couldn’t contribute more to the effort than they are now doing. » » ♦ ' ONE LESSON to emerge from the fighting in South Viet Nam is that wars cannot be won for people who lack the unity or the spirit to fight sof 1 themselves.
