Remember, the judge assesses a fine and .costs, not merely to relieYe you of a few hard-earned dollars. but as a means of having the law infraction "soak in" as a possible deterrent to further violations.

Public Forum · Editor, WILMETn LIPE: Speed traps in Wilmette as described in Wilmette Announcements of November 15? I have driven a gas engine or automobile over the streets of Wilmette since 1914. I still drive one on these streets, east, west, north, ancl south and I have yet to see or fall into a speed trap. · It is sometimes necessarv to learn ll\· harsh means that the lives and propertv of others must hl· protected. especially from the young men '"ho thoughtlessly drive cars over our streets at a- speed that endangers the lives and property of others. The police of Wilmette would. certainly be v~ry negligent in their duty if the~· failed to stop and arrest any man or ,roman who is found driving at a ratr of 'speed that does endanger life anrl property. ' I have no fight with vVilmt.'tte Announcements in this matter. hut I do think tha t a Illt.'dium of general circulation is wrong in taking such a stand against law enforcement. Such a stand. I feel, can only breed disrespect, contempt and hatred for the men retained to uphold and enforce the law .
