President Pearson Is-
sues \Statement On ‘

RaiIrOa ’3 Activities.
NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Feb. 8.
The wide extent of the New
New Haven Railroad's operation of
coordinated ruil-and-highway sched-
ules was made apparent irt‘a state-
ment by President E. J. Pearson
today in which he pointed out that
the New England Transportation
Company. the bus subsidiary of the
New Haven. now has in operation
777.6 miles of lilies. supplementing
the New Haven's 1.958.“ miles of
road. In addition. in its plan for , i
supplying the public with the most N erm' ”M,
modern and economical means of M ”r ' ‘ ‘w v,
transportation. the road has 25 gus- / 5/ m ‘ ‘°
oline rail cars operating on 567.1
miles of rail line and covering a
weekly distance of 10,505 miles.
Reasons For Extension.
"The fundamental reason behind
our adoption of the gasoline vchiclc.
both on rail and on the highway."
said Mr. Pearson. “is our two-fold
obligation: First. the obligation to
the public to perform a full trans-
portation service. which includes the
carrying of passengers. baggage.
mail and express in passenger train
service .and of freight in freight
service. And secondly. the obligation
to protect the investment of the
owners of. the property.
“In the performance of the first
of these obligations we feel that the
New Haven Railroad must illMiyii
keep itself in readiness to provide
adequate movement of passengers
and property so that the needs of
the communities it serves will be
fully met.
“'l'o'fulfill the second obligation
the New Haven management feels
that it is incumbent upon it to carry
out the first obligation in as effi-
cient and economical a manner as
possible. by the use of every mod-
ern approved method.
This embraces the maximum ser-
vice by rail which the Company
can afford to give at prices which
the public can afford to pay. Be-
it
, .
ii
.‘ J‘
cause after all our people and our
industries must always look to rail
service for the greater part of
freight and long distance passenger
transportation. Besides this any
attempt to divert this business to
the highways would result in intol-
erable congestion and poor service.
, Rood Had To Use Autos.
"In the development of our mod.
cm transportation. automobile op.
rrntlon over the public highways
has become a factor. At the begin-
ning there was some doubt ,. no to
whether the New Haven Railroad
could afford .in view of its , then
limited financial condilioll. to in-
vest in this new transportation fa-
cility. however. desirable it might
be. But as time went on it became
Increasingly apparent that we must
be in a position to protect ourselves
front further diminution of revenue
through the taking away of passen-
gers by automobiles."
It was in this situation. and after
enabling legislation had been pas-
sed. that the New Haven organiz-

intensive plans for coordination of
the schedules of these motor coach—

. "In many instances." Mr. Putt.
son pointed out, “the beginning of
highway operation by the railroad
has meant better transportation sun-‘-

At the morning service of the
South Norwalk Congregational
church yesterday morning the iicv.
Frederick 1!. Jacobs said: i
"The Israelites were ending their
wanderings through the wilderness.
They had now come to the time
when they were to make their homes
in a new land. which the Lord their
God had given them. They Were
changing from a Nomadic to a set-
tled nation. They were facing a
crisis. Moses. their great leader.
warned of one great danger which
confronted them. it was expressed
thou forget the Lord thy God.‘
"They were to remember how the
Lord their God has sustained and
blessed them. They must not for-
get the deeds of their great leaders
Whom God had given them. Other
small nationshad become great be-
cause they had obeyed God's laws;
many great nations had gone down
in uticr\ruin.whcn they had dis-
oboyed his laws. God was no rc-
spector of Nations. Ashe had dealt
with others so would he deal with
Isreal.
"It is equally important that we
remember how God has lead our na-‘
tlon. We must beware lest we for-
get. Next Friday. Feb. 12. we cele-
brate the 117th anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln. the
omancipator of the negro race. the
prcserver of the Union. On Mon-
day. Feb. :2. we celebrate the 1941b
anniversary of the birth of the Fa.
ther of his Country. To these. and
to kindred souls. America owes her
greatness. We must remember what
they were and what they did. We
must teach these truths to our child-
ren and to' our children's children.

Two Ways To Decrease
Motor Accidents Cited
It has become odious and shame-
ful to be convicted of a motor vehicle
. offense. in view of the constant ed-
ucation of the. public mind on the
subject. says a letter which Com-
Vlnissloner of Motor Vehicles Stoeckcl
:of Connecticut has sent to Walter I‘.
Chrysler. chairman of the board of
directors of the Chrysler Corpora-
tion. This is one of the reactions
of public sentiment aroused by keep-
ing alive public interest in the grow-
ing motor vehicle problem. the solu-
tion of which would mean the sav—
ing of thousands of lives annually.
The statement was made by Com-
missioner Stoeckel in response to an
inquiry as to "the most important
work Connecticut is doing to cut
down the number of motor vehicle
accidents.” and a request for the
enumeration "of two or three ways in
which your state has reduced the
number of motor accidents."
The commissioner's _reply was that
there are two broad lines along
which a state can take. hold of ihe
problem. One is to make its high-
way system so safe that only people
of low degree or mentality need to be
caught by conditions. The other is
to bring up the mind quality of ope-
ration by education in the problems
to be met. The former constitutes
safety endearing and is being put
in the following \vords—‘lSewarc lest:

dunnlll "by straightening curves,

of sight lines for what the scientists
call 'un assured clear course.’ by

conceivable adjustment of highway

A: to the latter method cited. the
Councrticut motor vehicle depart-
ment has since its formation in 1917
made .1 specialty of attempting to get
the problems of motor vehicle Opera-
tion before the public in order that
the public may understand the com-
plications of traffic and. in general.
kccp ahead of the new problems con-
stantly arising. The commissioner
wrote that the Connecticut press has
co-operated in this phase of the work
by printing semi-weekly releases
from the department which are in~
tended to lump the public in touch
with the general motor vehicle con.
ditions. This wtrk has been further
intended by public speaking in co-
operation particularly with such
great organizations as the church
and the public school. all of which
receive information regularly through
the monthly bulletin of the depart-
ment and special communications. It
is as a result of the public sentiment
thus created that peeple have be-
come ashamed to be found guilty
of motor vehicle offenses.
