power tends to corrupt and that absolute power corrupts absoluldy comes from Mather Air Force Base in California The Commanding Officer there has decreed that officers and men must salute his car when it drives by whether he is inside or not To apply logic to life is to court disaster nevertheless it is always fun to try We wonder if this winged Caesar has thought of insisting that his officers and

including towns and cities 0n twolane highways too there is the danger of meeting oncoming traffic at clear quarters particularly at night And despite the profuse roadmarkings there is the danger of getting tangled with driver who still is in too great hurry to wait until he reaches the brow of hill before turning out to pass Granted that the recommendation of an added speed iinnthas been the result of what has been described as an inten sive surveycarried out during the past seven months on 6000 miles of twolane highways across the province In theory the experts may be perfectly sound But let us remember how such new speed limits would make large part of our population vulnerable And let us member that over approximately same period the survey was made 35942 persons were lniured and

various efforts to convince Asiastics and others that the Western way of life the democratic way is far better than anything the Communists can offer BASIC RIGHT But the undeniable basic right of democracy is the right to vote And yet in the US the most powerful Western country vast numbers of Negroes in the south ern states are barred from the polls through various tricks im posed by tlie whites With damaging conviction the Soviet propaganda machine might well repeat How much friend ship could the whites in the south em states have for Asiatics they treat Lhelr own Negro citi lens with
