They certainly did not spend it for | r.?ad construction. What are they do- ! in,; w ith the money they are collect ing this year? It is being frequently stated that revenue is being increas ed month by month and the high ways are apparently getting in worse condition. There arc roads like the ones be tween Sylvester and Albany badly in need of repair. There are con necting links like those between Sylvester and Cordele, between Nashville and Lakeland where the foundations were Jpid for paving more than two years ago and the hard surfacing has not been com pleted. There are similar links like the one between Omega and Tifton, and several links on route 51 be tween Albany and Waycross where paving has been delayed for years Thousands ef dollars have been lost to the state on the road between Adel and Moultrie because the expensive preparatirn made for paving has gone to partial through the neglect and delay of criminal to escape the 1 the highway department to put down ne, unless you happen. the top surface and complete the » r .

Pipe smokers are paid to have better dispositions than other men. Perhaps it seems that way because a man with a pipe in his mouth finds it difficult to argue himself into a fighting frame of rnird.

Even as the crafty Jacob talked his brother Esau into exchanging his birth right for a mess of pottage and later deprived Esau of his father’s blessing, so are we today being dis possessed of our rightful heritage of good road by the artful proponents of “diversion." It is not surprising that we failed to get roads built and repaired when hardly more than one-thiro of the money collected from motorists for that purpose is being paid out or. roads. Apparently they are spending a little money some where for roads. Certainly they arc spending the federal money and this is evi dently going where there arc politi cians with strong pull. In this popu lous and progressive section of the state where millions are paid into the road fund very little is being ived back in the form cf roads or repair on old ones now get ting in bad condition. The taxpay » a right to know what ha of their money. There i something wrong when the monc paid in on gasoline tax alone is ove 14 million dollars and the amount spent on roads is five and one-half million. A home-town newspaper ol' stands for the god things in community. No worth-while move ment succeeds without the paper's support. A worth-wl ile Col. Joseph Jenkins that the motorist is also lax. A second requisite of good en forcement is intcligent application of the law. All offending motorists are not alike, either in their attitude or the degree of their offense. No police officer has the right to abuse his authority by abusing a motorist where harshness is not called for. The 'bawling out" should be saved for the extreme offender. The aver age violator, being the average man. amenable to reason. The police- .n who can explain how the safety di the offender and of others has been endangered by an ilcgal or an unsafe practice and who is equipped well to demonstrate statistically the toll taken by that particular vio lation. is far more likely to win a convert to the good driving idea. Correction and not punishment is the of modern traffic law enforce ment. Real enforcement, therefore, is self-enforcement. Death and destruc tion on streets and highways will practically cease when every driver —and every pedestrian—becomes his agent of enforcement. UNIVERSITY WOMEN ENTERTAINED AT HOME OF G. S. C. W.

This survey showed that the trend in the ratio of motor accident fatali ties to gasoline consumption in creased twenty per cent in six years in a group of states having no driv er's license laws, while at time, it decreased twenty-five per cent in those states with standard license laws.
