But they do occur from time to time, often resulting in death to the motorists trapped on unpro- tected tracks. Occasional failures are more hazardous because of public confidence at the sight of gates. The average motorist will not dash across a grade crossing where there are no gates or lights, but if he sees them he takes for granted the watchman is on the job and the tracks clear. The Review-Star has pointed out on many occasions that there is only one in- fallible method of insuring against grade crossing accidents. This is a separation of grades, either by elevation of the tracks or depression of the roadway. All other sys- tems break down because they rely on me- chanical devices which may get out of order, or on the human element which is subject to human errors and lapees. Loosening The Traffic E MAURICE J. MOORE'S suggestion that one-way. streets might be designated in an attempt to improve traffic conditions in Rock- ville Centre merits the consideration of the Village Board. There are four streets which could Appropriately be placed in a one-way traffic system for the purpose of «liminating the congestion that al- ways develops on busy days and dur- ing the busy hours of the day on Park avenue, Village avenue and Front street. Village avenue should be desig- mated as a one-day street running im one direction, while Park avenue sould be made a one-way street run- ming in the other. The one-way rule should be in effect on the two streets between Merrick road and College . Parking Meters Spreading TBI phenomenal growth of the parking meter as a means of regulating park- ing on city streets was described by As- semblyman Jimmie Wadsworth at the Rock- ville Centre Luncheon Club's meeting yesterday. Started two years ago in Oklahoma City as an experiment, there are 46 cities which have installed them to date. Nineteen com- panies are engaged in the manufacture and distribution of the meters. The crafty promoters have made it easier for municipalities to adopt parking meters by their financing method. No ap- propriation is ever required for the pur- chase of the meters, They are furnished by the company and paid for out of receipts. Ordinarily a parking meter will be used 10 times a day, making its revenue 50 cents, A city may retain a portion of the money and turn the remainder over to the com- pany until the meter has paid for itself. Mr. Wadsworth's assumption that park Ing meters can do away with the need of municipal parking fields does not conform to our impression of the local parking situa- tion. When all the curb space is being utilized in Rockville Centre, Freeport and Hempstead, there are still hundreds of cars in the local parking fields, Parking meters might keep the same cars from monopoliz- ing space too long at a time, but they can- not provide any more space. Where the total number of cars exceeds the available space, municipal parking fields are desirable. Parking meters on the main streets of the villages might force the all-day parkers to use the parking fields, thus making the curb space available for shoppers and transients. With the parking problems of the local villages defying all attempts at solution, we believe it would be worthwhile for one of them to give the parking meter plan a test. Its success in other sections of the country warrants a trial here. Front street should be made a one- way thoroughfare running in one di- rection and College place given simi- lar treatment with traffic going in the other direction. This would give a circular move- ment to purely local traffic in the Rockville Centre business district. Instead of cars moving both ways on «ll streets, and sometimes not mov- ing at all because of tie-ups, it would move in two major circles, one in- eluding the square comprised by Vil- lage avenue, Sunrise Highway, Park &venue and Merrick road, the other @omprised by Front street, North Village avenue, College place and Park avenue. There would be a certain amount of confusion for a few days if this ystem were put into effect, but the public would soon get used to it and probably would find it easier to move about the village than at present. - Liynbrook, which has a number of MArrow streets, has made extensive use of one-way thoroughfares for the ' 15 years. Traffic moves in a tircle from the Five Corners, down ondway, across Stauderman boule- rd and up Atlanticavenue. Atlantic is Lynbrook's principal shop- ping district. Parking is permitted sn \both sides of the street, but all it's are faced in the same direction. re is room for two lines of traffic, if one line is held up cars can pull isto the other lane and keep moving. { We believe a carefully-planned test one way streets in Rockville Centre ild demonstrate their advantage present unsatisfactory condi- (99 Where's the old respect for authority.

He is going to walk softly and carry a big megaphone, i 2% # % The same general idea lies behind this move for a special session of congress. The lowdown on that is: Mr. R has been hankering for a special session since before the last one quit. He made up his mind to call one until the Black case developed. This con- fused the situation. One crowd of advisers told him it would be best to wait until the affaire Black blew over, Another crowd bas been telling him he can cover up the Black case and the su- preme court matter also, by a victory for his farm program in a special session. (They think congress cannot do anything about Black, and they seem to be right.) M2. R could use a farm victory, There is not & lot of congressional objection to his program, and what there is, could easily be pushed over or compensated. But here comes business, suffering from shakes, pleading with him to keep con- gress off its neck as long as possible. What to do? The general inside impression high up here has been from the beginning that he would call a special session. * + % who, if v- kwflm Brrkley is man you'd wake in the middle of the night, would roll out of bed and start Mulflwmmmhhpun- mas.\ ' the source, this may mean elected. t to be of some fhe mdwmwbwmmm is a ventriloquist's dummy.-Chat- tancoga Times, Final test of breeding: to beva gentleman mmflnmlzufim Inasmuch as the left us their amomam‘nummw In Memoriam Wiltism R.

And yet the braim of Thomas Paine put into print was the determining influence which resulted in the Declaration ofIn- dependence. On January 10, 1776. there came from a press in Philadelphia a pamphlet entitled \Common Sense.\ The author was Thomas Paine, an Englishman who had come to thecolonies in 1774. In \Common Sense\ Paine argued with convincing clearness that the position of the colonies was thor- oughly inconsistent-in full rebel- lion against England, yet protest- ing loyalty to the king. He urged them to realize that they were the nucleus of a great American na- tion destined to cover the conti- nent. Washington was enthused over the sound doctrine and unanswer- able reasoning of the pamphlet, and Randolph, the first attorney- general of the United States, said that the Declaration of the Inde- pendence of America was due, next to George III to Thomas \ wonderful effect in morale that had been very low, are the times | that repeat this battle-crytoday, just as it became the battle-cry of the in the first congress.

Paine was in- dicted for treason, but before his trial was elected to the French convention and was allowed to go to France, where he worked in the interests of moderation, which roused the suspicions of Robes- pierre. He was thrown into prison and escaped the guillotine only by an accident. \The Age of Reason,\ his third literary composition was written in the exciting interval be- tween his accusation and hisar- rest; but the part of his life which appeals tous most is thepart he played in bringing to a herd the seething emotions which developed Into the Revolutionary war and the Declaration of Independence.
