A dvertising M anager * * Entered As Second Class Matter At.The Post Office At Osborn, Ohio TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT On Monday night of this week nine traffic cases were tried in the Mayor’s Court, Osborn, representing the second ‘ collection o f jcases to come before the local officials since the inception o f the new police service. Of the group appearing, all pleaded guilty, and were given’ small fines under the “ first offense” interpretation of the inayor. The court was quietly and efficiently conducted and held in thq presence of the city solicitor and the law committee o f the council. So long as it is necessary, court will be field each Monday and (Thursday evenings and 4he public is invited to attend the sessions. That the services o f a full-time police officer have already had Balutary effects seems to us to be self-evident. Not that traffic has been brought to a safe operating point as yet— the time has been too (Short— but certainly it has as a general rule been slowed, and in no few .ojses, flagrant violations brought to a termination. This commun­ ity has been badly in need o f this very thing, and so long as the volume o f traffic continues at its present rate, it is going to require the vigi­ lance o f policing officers. „ Those who beard Mayor Crone’s remarks relative to the con­ ducting o f the traffic cotirt and the services of Police Chief Pete Fin- layeon, at the Commercial Club meeting on Tuesday of this week, .Were universally impressed with the sincerity of Mayor Crone, and the. purposes presented in the handling o f traffic as it now is. That; evejy safeguard against the charge o f “ racket” or “ speed trap’* will be made, goes without saying. It is the desire o f Mayor Crone that the public understand that the traffic drive is corrective, not punitive, and that no discrimination is, or will be shown regardless of whether violators are from out-of-town or residents of this community. This is as it should he. It Is fair wiser that the situation be corrected now, even with the danger of charges o f unjust treatment when someone’s toes are stepped on, than that the traffic be allowed to operate as it has in the past, and pay the', penalty of serious injury or death through negligence. The cooperation of the citizens of this community is sought by Mayor Crone“ and the council. It is the determination o f this group to bring traffic to a point o f safe operation, through cooperation if possible, and if not, through imposition of fines provided by law. Represented here is a civic service by duly elected officials sworn to perform their, duty. Your help, not your fines, is needed. The town wants the exercise o f your good judgment through observance o f the law—not your money through the payment of fines. Fair enough, isn’t it? ^ PARDON US — The nerve o f some people. It is not very often that we get upset, but taking the word o f a very estimable friend, we have been delib­ erately hornswoggled, victimized hy a racket as bad or worse than the cldlsheli game, and come Up completely and irrevocably minus a pie, Which by all rules and regulations belonged to us. Darn it. _ I) started last Thursday night when the fire siren blew. We, of course, jittered out o f the house in our usual wild-eyed fashion, missing the_ truck—we’ ve missed more fire trucks than William Jennings Bryan ever did nominations— and bummed a ride out to the scene o f R 16 fire with Dave Mayer, Jr. Well, it so happens that our new neighbor down on the corner was visiting with Charity Apt, and hear­ ing the fire siren, and worried about the possibility of it being her borne, since she’d left the fire on under the water tank, or the fur­ nace draft open, or the oven going, or some such—you know how many things women can leave operating—had Mrs. Apt call the Boss to see if it was her house. A service the Mrs, was glad to render, be­ ing in the spirit o f neighborliness, etc., etc. Well, it goes without eaying that it wasn’t Mrs. Doty’s house, since it was out in Osborn View, and Pauline, after sniffing suspiciously at the key hole, and ex­ amining critically all windows for signs o f flame, etc., reported back to Mrs, Apt, who reported to her guest, Mrs. Paul Doty, and every­ body was happy* Doggone it, * That’s only the first episode— so far nobody has gotten shot, bul they are going to, believe you us. The second episode had to do with a very praiseworthy decision on the part o f Mrs. Doty that she repay the minor kindness extended by our Boss in the form o f a pie. Lovely, says us. So she baked the pie—we can see it now, tempting, delicious, golden brown. But here (sad music, maestro) enters the villain in the person of, o f all people, Mrs. Allison Jennings. How could she have stooped so low?, By suggestion and innuendo, and so forth, she craftily .planted in the mind o f Mrs. Doty the suggestion that, Emily Post considered and one thing and gnother,' $ies were hardly exchanged by persons who were not formally introduced, and Mrs. Choate and Mrs. Doty had not. been, and raised the question of prdper procedure in the acknowledging a first-class job of smoke- aniffing between neighbors. Certainly, claimed Mrs. Jennings, a pie Wat not the proper gesture—whereupon she ate that pie; unaided, wo tru%t, because we don’t want to get mad at anybody else right now. That’s what’s wrong with this country-—people getting the pie when sciHchody else docs the work. No wonder Allison joined the army;— pit would, too. » V For Vitamins Visit your Clauer Bros.
