IFPITORIAL
r pe'g Comparative Mishap Record Good
S veral persons have noted the accidents which have oc-
,
e
cape Cod during the past few months—notably in
[
UI
Lay travel, boating, bathing, and some in flying and in fires.
rf have by no means all been fatal, but all have been de-
, able And those noting them have said, "What poor adver-
fl for the Cape", "Why do we have so many accidents?"
istt'e .
J nke remarks.
In discussing the situation with a business man and farmer
day we received a suggestive thought. He reminded us that
r
C
Cod has not been alone in its accident record,—that many
rTfrequent mishaps are taking place everywhere. That, of
rse is true, and this fact led to another conclusion.
C0U
Cape Cod is an area covering an entire county and IS
it h distinctly a section of Massachusetts and as such
owns, ii ,a u ' .
d as an area has its own entity.
An event in Barnstable, or Yarmouth, or Dennis, for ex-
mnle is likely to be spoken of as an event on Cape Cod; where-
\something which happens in Weymouth, or Plymouth, or
'loucester is said to happen in Weymouth or Plymouth, or Glou-
'
ester as the case may be. Cape Cod, therefore, bears the brunt
.[ news from IS towns which, jointly, cover a large area and
involve the total number of inhabitants of IS separate places.
This means that, without regard for the statistics of exact popu-
lations Weymouth, or Plymouth, or Gloucester should be count-
ed in a
'group with 14 other towns, both area and population, to
make a proper comparison.
While we realize tin.; a complete comparison cannot be
made because many factors enter in, such as congestion, street
widths, presence of buses, trucks, and so on, we recommend
that the consideration outlined is a fair argument when we are
iffered disparaging remarks about Cape Cod's accident record.
If exact figures were procured and analyzed, the result would
undoubtedly give Cape Cod a wholesome record.

Among the winners at the Brock-
ton Fair in the cattle judging con-
test were three boys from Barn-
stable County : Orrln Eaton, Jr.,

Cattle Judge Awards UUD scout Edward M. Leonard
of Orleans, who as a member of
the "Cub Reporters," his pack's
monthly paper, has made a name
in his home town for himself , has
gained further laurels.
His work and enthusiasm for It
was the subject of an editorial in
the magazine "Scouting" published
by the Boy Scouts of America for a
nationwide reader audience.
Lex R. Lucas, managing editor
of the magazine, while on his vaca-
tion on the Capo at Nlckerson
State Park, came to know Eddy as
a neighboring camper. "Editorial
conferences" followed between the
two, with Eddy doing most of the
talking. As a result ot Eddy 's ex-
perience and enthusiasm, Mr. Lu-
cas found himself with an edi-
torial topic "Eddy the 'Editor ,'
which appeared in the October
issue >)f "Scouting. "
Stressing the value of getting
others to share the load , Mr. Lu-
cas writes "It might bo easier to
dot It ourselves, but wo build boys
better if wo sot the stage HO they,
the boys, do a big share of the
planning and carrying thorugh."
lie quoted Eddy as saying "It (the
paper ) 1B put together by us boys,
and boy, do wo have fun! Wo draw'
pictures and write tlto stories. Then
we help print It on the hecto-
graph," The staff consists of round-
up chief , assistant rounder-uppers,
pencil pushers and sideline
conches.
The lesson , Mr. Lucas writes , Is
that the adults in tho pack bocame
the "sideline coaches", and lot
tho boys do tho work. "It's so easy
and so natural to most of us to go
ahead and do II ourselves." Mr.
Luens wrltoH. "Hut when wo do
get hoys to alinro tho load , It' s
wonderful to see their enthusiasm)
to hour them say, with Eddy,

Whether New England is facing
tho loss of Its railroads was tho
subject of a 8-day discussion by
shippers and railroad executives
hold September 28-20-80 when 2,200
members of the New Kngiaud Ship-
pers Advisory Board gathered for
tholr fall mooting at the Ml. Wash-
ington Hotel , Brottou Woods , New
Hampshire,
Tliu discussion by the railroad
executives was followed by an open
forum at which the shippers and
ris elvers and railroad exooullVOS
discussed the situation In general.
An official of the New York Cen-
tral Railroad criticized the govern-
ment regulations m.iler w.ibh the
railroads have to operate , pointin g
out that lite earnings of the rail-
roads as a group were 2.1) per cent
on their Investment for the first
seven mouths of the current year ,
with oilier Industries earning much
greater returns. He also said the
monopoly of transportation Is no
longer enjoyed by tho railroads ,
which fact destroys the main argu-
ment for regulation,
. Warning the roads that trucking
companies would confront them
with Increasingly strong competi-
tion unless they (the railroads)
could sjieed Up their service witli
luss-lhan-curload .shipments , the as-
