H ; Bell, of Hope, Pennsylvania, has been instrumental in securing fines against no fewer- than 50 offenders"; he is particularly severe on motorists, and states that “the presumption seems that the man in the car is not bound by ethical considerations. that he is a free being, whose license to drive a car carries with it the. license to invade, steal or destroy the property of ‘country hicks.’ ”
