there are no all-goods or all

It was the thinking of the
legislature that underpaid pub

vietim of unfounded and vicious
crusades against them were
likely to be indicted by virtue of
a propaganda barrage from the
Monopolist Atlanta newspapers.
At the same time the Atlanta

Daytime Safety Light
The use of the daytime safety running light in this
area is spreading through the efforts of the Civic Affairs
Committee of the Forest Park Lodge, Loyal Order of the
Moose, and of The Moose Lodges of Hapeville and East
Point. T e e
Mr. Dowell Bartley, State »m-;
rector for the Moose Fraternity,!
and a resident of Forest Park|
has become an enthusiastic|
booster of the Forest Park
Lodge’s Safety Program of urg
ing the public to use the day-|
time safety light on their ve-|
hicles. Mr. Bartley is recom
mending that other Lodges
throughout the state of Georgia,
initiate a safety program of
their own, as a civic affairs pro
ject.
The use of the daytime safety
running light is a new break
through in the struggle to re
duce and to prevent traffic ac
cidents. A light that shines like
a star—continuously, day and!
night, turns on and off with the |
ignition. It alerts oncoming driv- |
ers not to cross yellow lines on |
your side of the road, makes your
car stand out on the highway.
It is specially effective in the
half light of early morning and
late afternoons and in shady
spots on the roads.
Its effect is both practical and
psychological, the prismatic
glass lense magnifies and intens
ifies the light from the 21 candle
power bulb.
he had squandered the proceeds !
of his illegal undertaking before |
being called to trial and did not
have the cash to pay a fine for
his acts against society.
Back in the days before the |
Supreme Court outlawed the
county unit system, the Atlanta
newspapers seld om supported
the winning candidate for gov
ernor they were crying to high!
heaven that there was a great |
need for legislative independ
ence.
The same article above men
tioned discussed at conslderab]e‘
length the value of not having;
legislative independence andl
stated that the governor was)
elected by all of the people and |
should control the purse strings
of the state. The Atlanta news
papers are convinced now that
Georgia will be better off with
more power in the Governor's
office so long as they can con
trol the governor who is in
office.
Music played by ear can be
very pleasant, spelling by ear!

| Much light reading has been

Under the present two quart
law that makes it illegal to have
more than two quarts of whiskey
in a dry county has been at
tacked by some people and re
peal of this law will probably be
pushed in the next session of
the General Assembly. At the
present time if the police raid
a bootlegging establishment and
find the bootlegger in possession
of more than two quarts of whis
key Mr. Bootlegger will be sub
ject to a fine. When and if this
law is repealed you can bet that
bootlegging will increase tre
mendously in the dry counties.

is like a dog walking on his hind

are surprised that it is done at
all,

e MATURE
JUDGMENT
Mr. Arch Gary of Blue and
Grey Cab Company of Atlanta
is impressed with the program
that the Forest Park Moose Lodge
is sponsoring in the interest of |
Public Safety and is starting to
equip his cab fleet with these
day time running lights.
The use of the raytime run
ning lights as a safe driving de
vice has the endorsement of Col.
H. L. Conner, Director of the
Georgia Department of Public
safety. Georgia traffic code spec
ifies that the light be a white
or crystal lense and be mounted
not less than 12 inches above
and not more than 30 inches
above the pavement.
In a letter of endorsement of
the use of the daytime running
light, Mr. James E. Quinn, Chief
of Forest Park Police Depart
‘ment states “after seeing somel
of these lights in operation it is
imy firm belief that these lights
' will be a benefit to the safety in
'driving in our community. I
heartily endorse this promo
tion.”
Mr. Howard W. Smith, Chief,
Clayton County Police, in a let
ter of endorsement of the day
time running light safety pro
gram of the Forest Park Moose
' Lodge Civic Affairs Committee
'stated “As Chief of the Police
| Department of Clayton County,
I feel this is a worthwhile cam
paign for the safety of the Citi
zens of our county and I heartily
endorse this movement.”
\ In Indianapolis, Indiana,
% where use of the day time safety
running light was originated and
!was promoted by the Indianapo
|lis Star, the Post Office Depart-
Iment has these lights installed
|on all of their vehicles including
ithe three wheeled Cushman
iCycles used for home delivery.
| The use of parking lights as
| a running light is illegal in Geor
lgia as well as in most other
Istates. The use of the daytime
{safety running light mounted
"in the center of the grill is legal
iand since it is wired so that it
lis on when the motor is running
| and turned off with the motor it]
cannot be forgotten. It will be on
when the vehicle is in motion‘
and will be turned off with the
motor, therefore it cannot ac
cidentally run the battery down.
