THE EFFICACY OF AN OB
JECT LESSON is often question
able. For what it's worth how
ever. there is a fine object lesson
in careful driving to be seen in
the yard at Bay City Motors
today. Two fine vehicles dam
aged beyond repair because of
one reckless driver who may
still lose his own life.
It is characteristic of human
nature, particularly in the
young, to see the results of such
an accident, and still claim con
fidently that "it can't happen
to me.” Nevertheless, every
youngster driving a car today

should make a point of looking
over these wrecks. Shattered
glass, hopelessly crumpled steel
and blood on the seat may im
press some with the constant
need for careful, sober, driving.
Since this accident occurred
on the Lagoon Road, which is
still the object of concern by
many beause of its apparent haz
ards, the subject will probably
come to the fore again. It should
be understood that the element
of danger does exist on that
road, but that it. is a condition
perfectly well known by every
motorist in Seward. Every acci
dent that lias occurred on this
road has involved local people
who arc familiar with the quar
ter mile stretch of road. It cer
tainly seems to be another case
of familiarity breeding con
tempt.
Considerable agitation for a
fence or guard rail on the La
goon has been circulating since
the tragic accident of a month
ago which took the lives of a
mother and baby. However, no
fence could have prevented the
truck from hurtling into the
Lagoon last night. To us, it ap
pears that the first and most im
portant safeguard against fur
ther accidents on the Lagoon
Road is a campaign for safe,
sane and sober driving. A re
duced speed limit on Lagoon
Road, rigidly enforced, imple
mented with a mandatory jail
sentence for careless and drunk
drivers, would go a long way to
protect the innocent from the
criminally careless. This would
not prevent the pure accident
which is an act of God, but it
would go a long way toward
cutting accident rates in this
area.

where they made waffles and

with two huge cakes contributed
by Miss Peggy Dolliver, house
mother.
Plans arc now underway at

on the “planning” list, and from
all inklings they will be some
thing to remember. Rev. Charles

per service held in the Chapel
Wednesday night, Nov. 25, and
a special service will be con

use it. with 68 children constant
