Editorial Comment. •. HOW ABOUT A WARNING AT THE HIGH BRIDGE *.%. S V e Z Oi the reeeilt fatalit y and oilier accidents at the High Bridge to the west of the village on Route 12 wouldn it it be vise to erect a large warning sign at the approaches of the spot to prevent more accidents? Cer- tainly the state does not knowingly wait until there are more than one death at one spot before taking steps to prevent! further mishaps, although sometimes it seems that way. At Ithat place on the road, approaching the village, ^ there arp several dangerous conditions, all of which prob- ably contribute to accidents there. Tie shoulders of the road are soft, the bridge is narrow, the curve of the road throws [approaching headlights into the ej es of drivers uid, ^hjich may bean important cause of the trouble there, windows in the house which sits by the side of the road' reflect a pair of headlights back at a driver. If this isn't known by a person, he could be startled by the sight of headlights coming at him from his right side, and swerve to avoid them, not unlike the fox with the mouthful of grapes barking at his reflection in the pool. Steps should be taken immediately to correct thes>e conditions at the High Bridge, taken before another driver 'o o life there. | FARM POOL INSURANCE FOR UNINSURABLE With all the protection and insurance forced on peo- ple thefje days in the governmental philosophy of security ingham, Lciwviiie, are parents of j from the cradle to the grave, why doesn't some agency force fire insurance on farmers ?

Why then can't some be convinced that adequate insurance coverage is not an expense, but 'an investment? In some states, poor insurance risks in 'auto liability policies are put into a pool and,insurance j companies are required to take so many of the poor risks, a If fire insurance companies refuse to insure, farms that are I outside'immediate fire protection areas, why can't the same system be used to offer farmers protection? If the farmer cannot he convinced that he should E rn ' es t Hall, 1 patient. SOLDIER IS District Traffic Supervisor Attends Upstate Conference Miss A. E.

Branagan, 23. whose Mr and Mrs Ben W Widriek, Infe in Croghan, was re- cently pronioted to sergeant while serving in Korea -with the 7th In- fantry Division. Sgt Branagan. who Korea last January, is a squad leader in the 32nd Regiment's Company K.

Copenhagen, cover his property in the event of a fire, he should, some- how, be, required to do so for his own protection and that of hi^ family. Not only is the loss a great personal tragedy, but thinking in terms of long range county benefit, the loss also means the loss of taxable property. If fire occurred too often, and owners failed to rebuild, it would not be long before the taxable property in the rural areas would be depleted to a dangerous low. Tax rates on other prop- arrived in I erty would necessarily rise to cover the loss of revenue. ' The percentage of farms that burn, and very few are saved despite the efforts of rural fire departments, which are not adequately covered by insurance, if any at all, is very high—certainly too high.
