OPEN LETTER TO A
DRIVER WOO SPEEDS
Below Is reprinted a letter which tells
in an appealing way one big reason
for safe and sane driving. The letter
was clipped from a trade journal by
Mayor A. H. Harris, and published be
cause of Its timeliness Just when school
is opening.
"1 saw you barely miss a little boy
on a tricycle this afternoon and heard
you yell "Get the H- out of the
way! Don’t you know any better than
to ride in the street?” He didn’t an
swer because he hasn’t learned to talk
very well yet. So I’m going to answer
for him.
“No. the little boy doesn't know any
better than to ride his tricycle in the
street. He has been warned not to,
but little boys don't always heed warn
ings. Some adults don’t either, espec
ially traffic warnings: for example,
the one limiting the speed of auto
mobiles.
» "I'm going to tell you something
about that little boy. He has a mother
who endured considerable inconven
ience. anxiety and suffering to bring
him into the world. He has a father
who has worked hard and made many
sacrifices to make him healthy and
happy. The supreme purpose of their
lives s to have their little boy grow up
to be a useful man.
Now stop a minute and think. If
you should kill a child, how would you
feel facing its parents? What excuse
could you give them for having rob
bed them of their dearest possession?
More important: What excuse could
you possibly offer Him whose Kingdom
is made up of little children?
"Children, my hasty friend, were here
long before you or your automobile
were thought of. All the automobiles
on earth are not worth the life of one
little boy. We don't know what that
little boy may some day be. But we
know what you are, and It's unimpor
tant We could get along without you,
but we can’t spare a single little boy
on this street"
LABOR DAY—
A CHALLENGE
Monday marks an epoch Tn the realm
of labor, and of course In the busi
ness world.
Turmoil and strife have been ram
pant in the mad whirl of affairs dur
ing the past year involving both the
laboring man and his rights, and the
business man and his rights.
The happy medium has not been
found between the two groups, and
Monday will bring forth many fancied
cures for the ills which are a reality—
ills that are not chargeable to either
labor or capital, but to that gulf in be
tween. and for which no real remedy
has been prescribed by the would-be
cure-alls who have tslten it upon them
selves to be Moses' when there was no
need for a leader in the true sense of
the word but a mediator who could
look things fairly in the face and show
the way out without bias.
The laboring man is willing, and the
capitalist Is more than willing, to do
the right thing. But the right thing
cannot be done so long as there 1s a
tendency to set class against class.
Monday should be a New Day—the
beginning of an era when there will be
wider understanding between the two
groups, and with understanding will
come peace, harmony, contentment, and
prosperity.
"STAY IN YOUR
OWN BACK YARD"
With radios crackling hourly of the
despair felt In Europe over the too
evident probability of a war that will
embroil millions of people <n half doz
en or more nations, America can do
well by attending 3trictly to Its own
business, and literally "staying in Its
own back yard.”
Twenty years ago our boys were
fighting to make the world “safe for
democracy." and most of us felt It was
a cause worth going the limit for. The
limit was gone, and wbat have we to
day? A seething, enveloping fire that
is scorching the life and happiness of
all Continental Europe.
America is a land unto Itself, a self
su jtalnlng nation that has all the ter
ritory it needs, with all the people it
nesds, and a standard of living that Is
hlifh above that of the governments
who are at each other’s throats, and
willing to throw their armed forces
In the field at the drop of a hat.
Let those nations who are afraid run
to the hills, let those nations who
crave conflict go forth to battle, but
le: us hope and pray that America
w n etand pat within its own borders,
piotecting if need be that which is
rightfully hers, and "stay in our own
b« ck yard.”

Have you noticed the near absence
of forest fires In Transylvania county
during the past two years? Give P-66
COC credit for the valuable growth the
forests have had. Those boys have
been doing a good Job of fire trail
building, trail work, and other con
stnictlve Jobs as well.

Yah! Yah! Yah! One should not feel
perked up over another’s hurt, but I
caYt help thinking how little some of
the “up nawth highfalutin' two-cent
would-be yellow Journalists” felt last
w« ek when the New York City super
intendent of schools said that 112
"Child brides” had been dismissed from
school because they were married. One
girl was reported to be 12 years old,
and four were 18. Had such a thing
happened In the mountains It would
have been all over the front pages of
tin metropolitan newspapers.

WUd cats may not be dangerous, but
D<c Galloway will tell you with plenty
of emphasis that they are not good
conpany. He had one visit him last
week while he was fishing, and Doc
says that “ye-eo-eo-eew,” and sort of
“gurgle-gurgle” growl, is sufficient to
make him outrun any bob-cat that ever
bobbed ... and Doc saved his fish
ftoo, Instead of tossing them to the
pestiferous cat like I would have done.

Back In 1920, Mayor T. H. Galloway
was looking after the life of the pedes
trians. Chance glance at the files of
Jtly 4, 1920 showed that 8 miles an
hour and NO MORE was allowed in
a-evard by autos.

An interesting place is the forestry

Your Old-Age
Insurance
Employees Advised to Safeguard Their
Social Security Accounts
In an effort to Insure seasonal or
part-time workers against the loss of
any benefits which might accrue to
their credit Graham Martin, Manager
of the Asheville field office of the Soc
ial Security Board, has Issued the fol
lowing suggestions for the guidance of
employees:
(1) Keep the name and address of
each employee for whom you work, as
well as the record of your own wage
earnlngs, In every Job you hold.
(2) Make your account number
known to every employer for whom
you worked since the last of December
1918. Whatever wages or salary you
may earn In any Job. covered by the
Act after the last day of 1936 and be
fore you reach the age of 65, (or die),
should be credited to your social secur
ity account. The law requires each
employer to rejiort your wages so that
you may get the full amount of bene
fits due you. If your employer does
not know your number he cannot make
a report that will assure a correct re
cord of your wages.
(3) You should have only one social
security account number. If you lose
your account card, ask your Social
Security Board field office for a dup
licate. Do not get a new number! If
you have more than one number, keep
the first one issued you, but send the
other cards to the Manager of your
Manager of your Social Security Board
field office to be cancelled. Tell him
you are returning the extra numbers,
which were issued to you by mistake.
Also tell him the number which was
first issued to you.
(4) Write down your social security
account number in the family Bible or
write it on a slip of paper and file it
away with other valuable papers. The
Social Security Act offers you old-age
protection. Hold on to you account
card.

BUSINESS MAN
PESTERED BY
“WANTERS”
Dear Friend:
In reply to your request to send a
check, I wish to Inform you that the
present condition of my bank account
makes It almost Impossible. My shat
tered financial condition Is due to fed
eral laws, state laws, county laws, city
laws, liquor laws, copo ration laws,
mother-in-laws, brother-in-laws, olater
ln-laws and outlaws.
Through these laws I am compelled
to pay business tax, amusement tax,
head tax, bank tax, school tax, water
tax, income tax, food tax, furniture
tax, and excise tax. I am required to
get a business license, truck license,
not to mention a marriage license and
a dog license.
I am also required to contribute to
every society and organization which
the genius of man Is capable of bring
ing to life, to the woman’s relief, the
unemployment relief and the gold-dig
gers relief.
Also to every hospital and charitable
Institution In the city, Including the
Red Cross, the black cross, the purple
cross and the double croes.
For my own safety, I am required
to carry life Insurance, property In
surance, liability Insurance, burglary
Insurance, accident Insurance, business
Insurance, earthquake Insurance and
fire Insurance.
My business Is so governed that It
Is no easy matter to find out who owns
It I am expected, Inspected, suspected,
disrespcted. examined, re-examined, In
formed, required, summoned, fined,
commanded, and compelled until I pro
vide an Inexhaustible surplus of money
for every known need, desire, or home
of the human race. And simply be
caune I refuse to donate to something
or other, I am boycotted, talked about
lied about, held up, held down, and
robbed until I am almost ruined.
I I can tell you honestly that one for
the miracle that happened I could not
enclose this check. The wolf that
comes to many doors now days, Just
had pups In my kitchen. I sold them
and here is the money.
Faithfully yours,
