MAKING AN OUNCE COUNT
Sometimes, a simple remark, which, at the time of its utterance
seems to make no lasting impression, contains a iruwi hhh iiugtsra m
the memorv.
Recently, the editor had the pleasure of talking with a man who,
for quite a number of years, was an adjuster of personal injury claims
. a a St .S t t - i . i
for one of the great railroad systems ot the country, wnen tne aie
ty First organization was started up, he went to work in that branch
of the service and to use his own expression, "Gave up being a pound
of cure to become the ounce of prevention '.
Really this idea seems a fair subject for an editorial. Certainly
it is a worthier vocation to try to prevent troubles than to endeavor
to patch them up with money after they happen. The life of a man
dear to his family and useful to a community cannot be paid for in
cash. Obviously, this is so true as to make a statement of the fact
unnecessary. But, unfortunately, there arc some things that must be
aaid over and over again, because so often they fall upon heedless
ears.
Now that Spring shows signs of returning life, we can look for
ward with pleasant visions of the greater out-of-doors activities of
Spring and Summer. And suppose we take stock of our prospects
for enjoying these balmy seasons. On every country road, motor
cars in ever increasing number will flit to their destinations. And, n
they hurry on their way, they will occasionally reach zones of danger
the railroad gratie crossings.
It goes without saving that no thoughtful driver will act the
same at the railroad crossing as he did while scurrying along over
clear stretches of highway. Here is the place and now the time to
make profitable use of the Ounce of Prevention. It does not take
much time or much trouble just a little use of the eyes and ears
then away again over the level expanses and on toward the beckon
ing horizon.
On railroad grade crossings in the United States, lant year, 1307
people were killed and 3183 injured. It is surprising to note that
three out of every five killed or injured were automobilista. This
shows that the almost general use of automobiles has greatly in
creased the number of crossing accidents.
The problem of being careful and keeping alive, or of being care
less or reckless, and suffering disaster, is one that must be seriously
considered by motorists, or loss of life and limbs at the crossing will
take on still greater proportions.
Remember that these splendid modern machines are too valuable
to be turned into scrap at the railroad crossing. And surely, human
lives are infinitely more precious than motor cars.
Now is the time to think of these things before more accidents
happen.
And, once more, let it be said that "An ounce of prevention is
better than a pound of cure".
The friend above referred to, who writes under the nom dfl plume
Eff Bee Tee, handed the editor the following verses:
All Loss and No Gain
An automobile a crossing a train
A chauffeur, who failed to make use of his brain.
A motor in ruins ah ! that seems a shame
Though everyone knows that it wasn't to blame.
i
But, saddest of all, is the household of sorrow,
With crepe on the door, for a funeral tomorrow.
An automobile a crossing a train
A chauffeur who wouldn't make use of his brain.

EASTERTIDE AND WAR PROCLAMATION
What an awful commentary upon the lack of the Christ spirit
among the nations calling themselves Christians! The Christian
world at war; great nations calling themselves the followers of the
Prince of Peace engaged in a gigantic struggle of human butchery,
and preparations being rushed to engage in the world's greatest and
most awful conflict on a still greater scale!
But does the existence of war prove that the (ist spirit is lack
mg entirely among the people? What have the people to say as to
whether there shall be war or not, and how long it shall continue?
In Germany and Austria, the countries responsible for bringing on
the world war, the war lords have the reins of government in their
!hanco. The common people had no voice in deciding whether war
should be declam! W0 years ago last summer. They have no organ
ization to make effective their wishes, no matter how much the ma
jority of them might wish to stop the terrible carnage. For them it
is either shoot and kill their fellowmen or be-shot.

more attention must oe given to se'a

sponsible for heavy loss. Much of
