That no one was killed was a miracle. In each instance the crash w-as due to the failure of a driver to observe a stop sign. The stop signs in each instance are what are known as the silent sign. But the word “stop" is easily readable, day or night. What Camden needs and needs badly is a stricter enforce ment of traffic and parking rules. ■ The practice of disre garding stop signs is but one of many acts of intentional div regard of regulations. Double parking on Broad and DeKalb streets has become a nuisance. Haphazard angle parking which takes up valuable space is another source of complaint. IS THREAT TO TIRES In the press, and over the air waves the government is pleading for the conservation of rubber, especially in the mat ter of automobile and truck tires. ^ The most ruinous source -of- tire injury is -broken g;lass. There should be a city or state law that would punish people who break glass and leave it where cars will pass over it. During the past year there has been an almost complete disregard of this destructive menace on Camden streets. Only last week broken glass covered a large area at a street inter section. where two automobiles had collided. No effort was hiade to remove it. This same condition can be noted at other points in the city. Either a garage crew disposing of the wrecked car or cars, or men in the employ of the city street department, should see that this broken glass is swept up and removed. TWISTING TAILS WILL NOT WIN WAR The recent propensity on the part of a very small group of people to shoot hard words at our British friends is meet ing with general disgust on the" part of a majority of Ameri can people. This habit of abusing the John Bulls is being denounced as being the product of bitterness on the part of Timerican Firsters and isolationists. jv- ^ Admittedly it Is true that many Americans do not see eye to eye with the British—and we may add—the Russians also. We waxed wrathy at the British because they aban doned the Poles to the Russians and we got all steamed up because of British interference in Greece and Italy. And yet we offered no' alternative suggestion as to what should be done in either of these cases. Many were angry when they read Churchill’s statement to the effect that he did not become prime minister to preside over the dissolution of the British Empire. Why we should get all steamed up about that is a puzzle. Roosevelt would have said the same thing and certainly Stalen would have not spoken differently for Russia. But Churchill’s remark was seized upon as being the means toward a small, very small, group trying to raise heck with our Allies. The thing the Firsters seem to forget is that we need the help of John Bull and the Russian Bear very much in our two wars. Sure, the British and Russians need us just as bad. But this tirade of abuse isn't helping things one bit. The war is yet to be won and why not 1^ on the side of those helping us to w'in it? MICHELANGELO WASN’T SATISFIED There is no question about Michelangelo’s place in the history of ari* He stands head and shoulders above the sculp tors of all time. His many masterpieces, ^avid,’’ **Day^nd“ Night,” “Madonna of Bruges," “Twilight and Dawn,” “La Pie^," “Medici Madonna and Child,’’ and his towering statue of “Moses" have inspired mankind for four hundred years. And yet Michelangelo wasn’t satisfied with his work! Alter completing hi.s “Moses," the master sculptor surveyed his work and then suddenly in anger he struck the knee of- his statue with his chisel crying: “Why dost thou not speak!" Here was a man whose ideal was to make cold marble come to life! Today we can see the long narrow dent on the knee of Michelangelo’s “Moses." It is the trade-mark of a man who never realized the perfection of his dream. It is the mark of a man who had set his ideal among the stars. It is a symbol of the fact that men become mas^€« by attempting the im possible, and by never permitting tKeihselves to be lulled to sleep by the ether of self-satiafactioh. Only little men are ever satisfied with their accomplish- ments ... that's why they remain IHtle. The big men are never satisfied . . . that's why they become great. “Tin The War- Build For Peace” Kiwanis 1945 'Theme Basina Its oommanitr serrice pro gram for the coming rear on 19 far- reaching objectires, the Kiwanis CHab of Camden aanonnced today that “Win the War—Build for Peace** would be its administrattre theme for 194fi.
