Monday, June 19, 1950 Wilkes People Are Getting Some Roods Many communities in Wilkes county will get out of the mud this summer. For months local people were somewhat disappointed to read long lists of highway lettings in lower piedmont nad eastern counties with none listed in this 'area. But now it seems that this situation is beginning to even up. There are several projects for letting in this part of the state, including three in Wilkes county, on June 27. And in addition to contract lettings, a great amount of work is being accomplish ed in Wilkes county with state forces. Elsewhere in this newspaper is a list of projects under way or to be undertaken this summer. These projects will serve the most thick ly populated sections of Wilkes county which do not have roads. The next phase of the program will take roads to other sections. In the primary road system the com mission plans to build highway 268 all the way to the Caldwell county line, serving an area that has long been in need of a good highway. One of the principal county road pro jects now under way is the Traphill road, which is now under construction to Doc kery and will be let soon through Traphill to highway 21 at the Doughton commun ity. ' Every major section of Wilkes county will be touched by the paved roads under the first phase of the road construction program financed by the $200,000,000 bond, issue, for which Wilkes rolled up the highest majority of any county in the en tire state. ————— . Lower Speed For Greater Safety The faster you drive, the longer it takes —to stop, that is! Good drivers know that the higher the speed the more distance required to stop, according to L. R. Fisher, acting head of the Highway Safety Division of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. The question, Fisher said today, is: Do you know how much distance is required to recognize the need to stop, apply the brakes, and come to a full stop at any given speed? And, more important, do you always drive with the full realization that you must be able to stop in an emergency? "We'd be safer drivers," Fisher said, "if we'd remember three things: the driver has to see and recognize the need to stop bfore he can start stopping. After he does that, there's a half second or more interval called 'reaction time' before he is actually doing the third thing, putting on the brakes. All this time — until the brakes finally stop the car — the car is moving toward that thing the driver doesn't want to hit!" ' . Here are the figures on how long it takes an average driver to see an emergency, react, and stop an average car. At 20 miles an hour — 43 feet (includ ing 22 feet of reaction time). At 30 miles an hour -— 80 feet (33 feet of reaction time.) At 40 mttfisJSUQ-hour — 128 feet (44 feet of reaction time). -;• At 50 miles an hour -r— 186 feet (5& feet of re«ction time). "You see," said Fisher, "the faster you the ionger it takes! And that's simply because the car is moving faster while you are seeing and reacting to the need to stop, and the greater the speed the longer it takes for the breakes to eountract the en ergy of that speed. Safe, experienced driv ers know that. .All drivers should remem ber it." Safer speeds are the goal of the Depart ment's program this month, a part of it's continuing traffic safety program. o TO BRING UP A CHILD (Winston-Salem Journal) ' In the State press was a news article datelined at Charlotte which told of the brutal beating of a 15-year-old girl by her mother and her stepfather. Attempting to escape further beating the child fled to the home of an aunt, but her mother and stepfather followed her there and proceeded to lash her until she lost consciousness. After being revived, the girl was beaten agkin. Such acts of inhumanity toward growing children have no doubt caused not a few teen agers to leave home and get into ser ious mischief. While corporal punishment, properly, if firmly, administered, makes some children tractable, and as a last puni tive and reformative procedure-smnetimes is beneficial, indiscriminate and violent use of the lash often generates hate, the spirit of desperate defiance and an anti-social at tude. Brutal whippings of this sort usually are carried out when parents are angry. ^No child should be punished when parents are angry. No child should be punished while a parent, teacher or guardian is still agit ated by anger. In fact, no pjerson should take any important action or make any vi tal decisions while he is emotionally up set. Sound judgment and sane action de pend usually if not always on a cool head. o Things are much nearer normal than we sometimes think. The Yankees are near the top and the St. Louis Browns are safely at the bottom. — Greensboro Daily News. o Geology students at Lehigh University have 18 wrong ways of spelling "Appala chian." That's right, we just looked it up. — Greensboro Daily News. A : LIFE'S BETTER WAY I WALTER E. ISENHOUR High Point, N. C., Route 4 WE NEED GOD There are many things we need in life, but there is nothing we need so much as God. Day by day we need food and rai ment, but we need God. We need pure air to breathe and good water to drink, but we need God. We need houses to live in, farms to cultivate, but we need God. Our country needs good fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, obedient sons and daughters, but we need God. We need good preachers of the Gospel, good Sunday School teach ers, good churches, good schools and school teachers, but we need God. We need the blessed, Holy Bible, good books and liter ature, clean art, good associates, good com pany and good environment, but we need God. We need good railways, good trains, good roads, good cars and trucks, good ships, and maybe good airplanes, but we need God. It is possible to have all the above we have mentioned, and far more, and yet not have God. Multitudes of people have lots of good things of this world, lots of friends, good learning, good morals, and even goood environment, but they don't have God. They have His blessings materially, tem porally, physically and morally, but they don't have Him in their inner lives. They don't have Him in their hearts, souls and spirits. They don't have His real, true love shed abroad in their hearts and souls. They do not know Him in the pardon and for giveness of their sins; they don't have the precious blood of Christ applied to their hearts and souls, minds and spirits which cleanses from all sin, hence they are not saved. ♦ O thai we could realize this as we go through life toward eternity! Of all the many needs we see and realize on life's journey, there is nothing we need so much as God. This is the supreme need of every life and every soul. But it seems that the vast majority are slower to realize this need than anything else in life. Consequent ly they go through life seeking all their other needs, but leave God out, therefore live without Him, die without Him and go into eternity without Him. HoW sad and deplorable! Yes, we need God and must have Him, or we shall never make it through to the Celestial City. O dear soul think of this; realize this. Graduate ^ Tommy Turner, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. E.
