YyiTH the
2a" Safe-Driving Week just. over it
“HS: worth while to take a look at. what
‘éan ‘be accomplished when motorists
“pet. behind -coneentrated efforts of
‘that sort. The outstanding example

in Canada, probably i in North America’

and maybe even in the Western world
is provided by Medicine: Hat, a:-city
Sith a population of something over
"20,000.

* What has Medicine Hat. that.
Pri ince Rupert and other cities of Can-
‘ada have not? Justthis:. A:record of
four years without a single fatal traf-
Hic accident. Medicine Hat, having

just marked the 1,461st day without.

ay traffic deaths, has now raised its
“si@hts and is aiming at 2,000.
This bustling, fast-growing Alber-

ta @fty is so jealous of its. splendid

annual pre-Christmas.

. not, as in most cities, of a week’s

Medicine Hat has enviable record

record that motorists there go more in —

fear of spoiling it than of what the
courts might do to them if they did.
The first: driver to blemish the record

‘runs the risk of being ridden out. of

town on arail, We could do with some
of that spirit here, withour ugly rec-
ord*of traffie accidents and the most

_dangerous period still to come.

Medicine Hat’s safety drive was
dura-

tion-once a year but a continuing cam-

paign which never lets up for a-

minute. Jt had its beginning four
years. ago in the editorial columns of
the: Medicine Hat News whose repe-
titious slogan of,so many “deathless
days” quickly caught on. and: in time
aroused ambition to have Medicine
Hat known as The Safety City.

Prince Rupert would do well to do

likewise.

Deserving editors

GOME readers will agree that editors ©

“ deserve the fate told in this little
verse from the Trail-R-News, and _re-
printed in the N.Y. Press Association
bulletin: » .
~SAn‘ editor knocked at the Pearly

. Gates.

“His face was scarred and eold;
He stood before the man of fate
Por admission to the fold. °

Report from United Nations

“What have you done?” St, Peter
> asked,
“To gain admission here?”
“T’ve been an editor, sir,” he said.
“For many and many a year.”
The Pearly Gate swung open wide —
St. Peter touched the bell.
“Come in,” he said, “and choose
your harp,
« “You've had your share of hell.”

This is one of a series of articles written by Skeena member of par- —
liament Frank Howard who was, recently delegated to attend the United
Nations as a. parliamentary | observer, He will report his Impressions. of
activities at. the UN from: New. York.

_...NEW YORK-—There.is a great desire to
work towards unanimity in preparing the var-
ious resolutions which are considered and

adopted at the United Nations. Otten, especially.

 

voting is conducted on individual words, and
deletions and substitutions are made.

In an involved, lengthy resolution this system
of voting can lead -to. apparent ridiculousness.

 

 

THR ai RATT i sith Uline’
O ther, a great cdeal of consultation takes place.
Nesolutions are drafted and worded very carec-
fully with each nation that participates in
the resolution having ample opportunity to have
ts thonehts and hopes embodied in the res-
olution.

Many resolutions, While being formally pres-

ented by one nation only, are endorsed by
Gathers or co-sponsored by a group of nations.
Thoy then became classified by the number

of nations which indicate support for the res-
olution and are known as 17 power resolution.s,
1} power resolutions, ete.

The same thine holds true in the prepar-
atian of amendments; there is extreme care
ia wordinp a desire to ensure that all opinions

soeodealp with ond oan ettort to have as many
podtons as possible endorse them,

each notion is also extremely careful when
i comes to voting on the varlous resolutions,
They fae often voted on paragraph by par-
earagh, WEth some nations voting for eertaia

INTERPRETING THE NEWS

 

Something new planned in African confederacy

A—case—in—peint—vas_the—consideration,-a.
few years ago, of a draft resolution on human
rights. There were 27 separate votes on in-
dividual paragraphs and words. There were
a number of amendments. and a number of
substitutions. ' ‘

The net result was that the final resolu-
tlon meant absolutely nothing. It was merely
a conglomeration of words with no connection
between paragraphs and no overall theme.
There were two or three paragraphs which
were mutually contradictory. No one realized
what had happened until the final vote had
been taken. Then various representatives start.
cd to wade through their welter of notes and
came to the conclusion that in their desire
to reach unanimity they had emasculated the
original resolution,

It all came out properly, though;
resolution was withdrawn and a
made,

While these things do take place and may
appear foolish on the surface, nevertheless,
It Is a very small price to nav for the main-
tenance and preservation of peace,

Very: little reference was

made to sewers this year, yet:

at election time, certain alder-

On previous occasions cer-
