r.iver Training for Cape Pupils
In our editorial columns last week we noted the Driver Edu-
,j0n courses that are being given in some of the public high
ca
!lis of the State. The courses are two-part and include class-
¦
m instruction and behind-the-wheel training in actual prac-
t
°t>
"driving. A high school that includes such a course in its
"
C
rriculum is given the use of a dual-control car by the Massa-
Vi setts State Automobile Dealers' Association. This is all with
TApproval of the State Commissioner of Education and under
Z auspices of the Registry of Motor Vehicles, within whose
'urisdiction the Legislature of 1948 established a Driver Educa-
tion section.
We are pleased to learn that an effort is now being made to
make this course available in Cape Cod high schools.
Sheriff Donald P. Tulloch, in cooperation with Registrar of
Motor Vehicles Rudolph F. King, is arranging a series of con-
ferences with the school committees of the various towns in
Barnstable County in order to acquaint the members of these
committees with the details of setting up and maintaining courses
if this kind.
A conference has already been held with the Harwich
School Committee, and plans laid for similar conferences with
Bourne and Yarmouth. Accompanying Sheriff Tulloch in these
conferences are Eugene J. Fanning, supervisor of Driver Train-
ing lor the Registry of Motor Vehicles, and Inspector William
MeJJo of the Registry. The dual-control car is on hand and its
iperat/on is demonstrated by Inspector Mello.
Setting up the course in a given high school involves a rel-
atively simple procedure and is inexpensive.
It is to be hoped that the idea may meet with favorable re-
.ponse from our Cape schools. As Sheriff Tulloch has stated,
Nearly every pupil ,in school today will drive a car after he or
he is graduated, if not before
I "Let's start our children out right with a thorough training,
kvot only in the correct driving technique, but also in the proper
attitude toward their fellow motorists and the pedestrian."
We shall watch with interest when the date comes for the
conference with the Barnstable School Committee.
Weather Report
For the past week the weather has been comfortable for the
most part, cool some days, warm others, but not going to extreme
in either direction.The only aspect of discomfort was humidity
lo some degree for a few days.A few showers were interspersed.
Pen Points
Our Courts must not be influenced by individuals or public
opinion , and it is an insult to telegraph, write or in any other
ay call upon a judge to influence his ruling. The Courts must
r clean in the first place, and if a judge is qualified for his job
is because he will weigh all the evidence in a case, without
irejudice to anybody.
The judge's bench must be as carefully guarded as the par-
son's pulpit.—National Industries News Service.
"Know how big the national- debt is? No? Well, it's over
S250 billion, and remember this: Only a little more than one
billion minutes have passed since the birth of Christ."—Dale
Carnegie in Industrial News Review.
Once you begin to direct the economic activities of the in-
dividual , you inevitably come to direct most of his other activi-
ties as well.
When the white man discovered this country the Indians
were running it. There were no taxes, no debt, and the women
did all the work.

A New Bedford newspaper car-
ried recently a story of an emer-
gency hook-up between the New
Bedford Exchange of the New Eng-
land Telephone and Telegraph
Company and West Island In Pair-
haven. A ceremony, Inaugurating
the service, was held at the office
of Fairhaven Estates, inc., on West
Island.
To quote the newspaper article,—
"Edward G.. Cross, acting business
manager.of the New Bedford tele-
phone office, placed the first call
from the island in Fairhaven.to the
New Bedford exchange in the pres-
ence of Police Chief Norman D.
Shurtleff , the Rev. Charles A.
Wyman, president of the West
Island Improvement Association ,
and James E. Murphy, resident
manager of Fairhaven Estates.
Mr. Cross told the gathering at
the ceremony, 'The telephone com-
pany realized the Importance to
the health and general welfare of
the residents of West Island of
this emergency line. Plans have
been made to lay a permanent ca-
ble to the island in 1950. However,
after Fairhaven Chief Shurtleff and
Mr. Wyman had conferred with
Business Manager John F. McNa-
mara, of our company, pointing out
the need for Immediate connection
for emergencies, such as cases of
Are, police protection or health ser-
vice, it was seen that something
Immediate must be done. We have
met this emergency.' "

In the Real Estate Series.)
The Real Estate Broker may or
may not ho a Realtor but the Real-
tor Is a broker; if a man or woman
of experience and character , ho or
she Is reall y likely to be a valuable
asset to you and your community .
The broker i» often a dreamer, a
planner, who through his efforts
and now ideas Hllmu lales the com-
munity and points the way lo prog-
ress. He is different from the law-
yer or the physician—In that he
dees not make a charge except for
services rendered and unloss other-
wise Bpecllled . II is an established
custom that it is the seller who
pays him his commission when his
work is done.
The person who is frank with his
broker is going to get bolter re-
sults than the one who withholds
information. If you are a seller ,
your broker should know details of
house and land , as to number of
rooms; size of land; mortgage, if
any; taxes; reason for selling;
whether or not your price is a
guess or a fixed and delivered one.
If you give him the exclusive
agency, it is worth his while to
devote time to selling and pay good
money for advertising same.
If you are a purchaser, you give
him your name, address, telephone
number, state your ability to pay,
and what you are after; he will
know if he has anything on the
books to BUlt you and if not, where
to reach you when he does.
To be entitled to the title of
Realtor, he must be a member of
the Local Board of Realtors and
through it—of the National Asso-
ciation. He must subscribe to a
code of ethics which means fair
treatment of buying and selling of
Real Estate, the obtaining of mort-
gages, and the ability to draw con-
tracts, understand searching of ti-
tles, and many other papers con-
nected with these transactions,
even though the actual work is in
the field of the lawyer and banker.
In other words, he is a professional
man with a pride in his profession.
If you are a stranger in a com-
munity, you will be wise if you pick
the office with the Realtor Insignia
on the window. Even Realtors differ
in experience and knowledge, but
when you And the one you like,
both of you will benefit by making
him your broker.
