2 which could find certain clt;y in the world. It's rulte a tent to boost two satellites into outer space, but that hasn’t too muon to do with accuracy. Accuracy is what I am question- ing. ive rfm’t know for sure whether the Russians really have an intercontinental missile or not, hut I am fairly sure that if they have got one, it isn't nearly as accurate as they say it is. I think Russ1a is just trying to scare the free world into staying out of her way and her business. If Russi° has such a missile so much for them, but boasting of such a missile without it, will get them quite a way in the propaganda line. By just saying they have such a missile, the free countries bordering and around the Iron-Curtain get panic strlken. If the Russians have an intercontinental missile, how can they be so sure they can 6trike any city they vrant with it. After all, they haven't ever tried the thing out. Russian bosses say that if there was another war intercontinental bomb- ers would be worthless. If this is true why don't they get rid of their big jet bombers of which they have so many. The nussian leaders think that if they can convince the countries aroun.v the Iron-Curtain that they could beat the free-world in a third world war, some f the countries might be made t sink behind the Iron- Curtain. Although the Russians have launched two satellites into uter space, I dcubt if they received much information from them. me Sputnik 1 ked like a o nvincer t a big scare pro- gram that they have cooked up. A lot of people think that if the Russians can send up earth satellites it could be that they have interc ntinental missiles. This is just what the Russian bosses want, for they figure that if they can scare the people they will get their way much easier. I doubt it if the Russians will try anything as 1 ng as the fi'ee-w rid sticks together. Let's cooperate, do -ur bit and not get frightened.

If y-u ride along the highway in a car you see papers all along the sidos rf the r ad. There are trash cans all along the way, but the peoole will not stop to throw their trash in the jans.

Joyce Tittemore ’58 How Can We Stop The High Accident Rate This editorial Is to all drivers, especially to those in city traffic. I think more accidents would be prevented if the drivers of large city buses, taxis and trucks, would be more careful when starting out from stops at the side of the road, and when starting out from red lights. Some drivers tend to make a nuisance cf themselves by pushing in front of oncoming cars, and thus causing accidents too frequently. Not only the drivers, but people getting into and out of cars open their do ;rs directly to the oncoming traffic. One emphasis, I think I sh uld make, is to the Jaywalker . I think more of the plicemen sh uld enforce this law. The drivers of oncoming ot r6 are unable to see these people darting in and out of traf: icj and cannot stop in time to prevent an accident. It isn't only these people that I have mentioned that can prevent accidents; it’s everyone of us who gets behind the wheel of an automobile, and the pedestrians as well. So why can't we all be more careful and put a stop to the exceedingly high acci- dent rate.
