DISREGARD STOP SIGNS
Last week Camden had two serious auto accidents. 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.
