Art Guild Places Master Calendar Near Snack Bar In an effort tQ improve communi· <·ations on camp us the Art Guild, under the supervision of Mr. John Barlow. head of the art department. has erected a. large calendar in the passageway opposite the Snack Dar. A system of three colors has been dev eloped to indicate the type of group sponsoring the activity.

An activity of an interest group such as the I nternational Club. Phi Tau Alpha, and others. is printed on a white card. Yellow cards indicate service clubs such as WRA or Circl e K. All student body activities, which includ e athletic events, class ac·tiviries. and regular ASB meetings, ru·e printed on pink cards.

According to Dean Jones the Business Club has temporarily taken over the job of keeping the calendar up-to-date; but in the future. she feels th is is a job for the ASB council.

are killed every year in this game than the total number of dead in all the wars in which America has been involved. · The odds are predictable, every time you get behind the wheel the odds are stacked against you higher than the last time.

More than 800 people per week are wmners.

Gamble?

And their families reap in the pot of anguish and despair.

In 1960, more than 30,000 people each week are partial winners in this bloody game of chance ; at least I 30,000 will come out with permanent disabilities this year.

The police forces of every state, county and

city in the US are doing their best to break up the game but the toll of winners still mounts. And from information a vailable, will continue to mount until the people of this great democracy wake up to the fact that they always hold the low hand.

The holidays were meant to be enjoyed by all, not by a select few who happen to get off easy. Spend the holidays with your family, not in a morgue. Don't be a winner in the only gambling game m the world in which death deals all the hands.

PALOMAR COLLEGE TELESCOPE

Wednesday, December 14, 1960

The Last: St:op Sign "Merry Christmas!" he muttered sarcastically under his breath, as he jumped into the front seat and slammed the door. Hea ·ty snow clouds had turned houses, streets, and people a dull grey color and Dan was miserable!

He turned the ignition switch and after several minutes of coaxing, the engine began to show some signs of life . "I'm late to work already," Dan worried , "why doesn 't this heap start?"

At last on his way, rushing to beat that red light, Dan was in no mood to put up with the absent-minded woman driver ahead of him. Ali she neei:ls is a little reminder, he thought, and pressed his horn angrily. He watched the woman, whose shoulders jerked in sur· prise, as she nervously stepped on the gas and made a right turn.'

The light turned red. Dan fumed. "Stop"-the word kept running through his brain. " Stop," he thought, "that means the end.'' It ' was almost the end of another year full of worries and more bills. Jackie needed her teeth straightened. The dentist said it woufd run into the thousands. Where would they get the money?

Dan passed shops gaily decorated with Christmas trees and blink·

ing lights. They're the only ones who benefit from Christmas, he thought bitterly, as the windows, full of toys flew by-the retailers, displaying their tempting goods for children to see and want. Chris's eyes had shone with excitement as he watched the electric train glide smoothly over the tracks. " Daddy," he jumped up and down with happi· ness, " Daddy, I want that for Christmas," he had begged. Chris would have to be disappointed , Dan thought.

It had begun .to snow, a wet dangerous snow that covered the streets with a slippery film. Dan put on the brakes sharply, when he came suddenly upon a stop sign. The car swerved slightly to the right.

"I ' ve got to have these brakes fixed," Dan thought, and made a mental note to have them checked on his way home.

On his way again, Dan began to worry. His speed increased .

Another sudden stop! But this time Dan swerved on the slippery pave· ment and crashed headlong into an approaching car.

Dan's worries are over now. That last stop sign was the end for him, but not for his family. Jackie and Chris, will still have to be taken care of. Dan's wife ' must support them now, alone.

Not On Your life!

Is Death Riding In Your Back Seat?

There is an old saying that goes something like this: "Don't gamble on the highways."

I would l ike to reverse this say· ing to read: "Gamble intelli· gently on the highways."

Webster's Dictionary defines a gamble as ''a risk in order to gain some advantage." We live our lives by calculated risks and it is the wise man indeed who " plays the odds."

The percentages show that you are less likely to be in· volved in an automobile acci· dent if you stay with in the speed I imit. The percentages show that you are safer if you don't mix gasoline with alcohol. The per· centages are favorable if you drive fully aware. You play the percentages if you drive without tension or an emotional upset.

The pereentage is with you if

your vehicle is mechanicaffy sound.

And yet, you continue to "buck the odds" everytime you ignore one of these percentages.

Remember, mathematics tell us that no one can continually violate the percentages without eventually losing.

"Gamble intelligently on the highways"--death waits for the loser.
