There is being held in the South this week a traffic safety conference designed to formulate a program for improvjng high way conditions and reducing the toll of deaths and injuries from motor crashes and tangles. Already numerous highway safety proposals have been ad vanced in the present Congress. Some of these will go farther than the committee fjles. The more constructive will undoubted ly receive serious consideration. One of these latter is the measure introduced by my col league, Senator Truman, of Miss ouri. The Truman bill would have the effect of limiting to State borders all vehicles in States which do not require operators tb show thejr ability to drive. In other words, operators : n those States which are without '.n adequate driver's license law or have a license law without .t mandatory examination feature. In this connection, it may bej roted that some 8,000,000 ( vehicles are now operated in 11, which resuire no license, whatsoever. To put it another way, in those 1 i Stateo a person buys an auto-; mobile and takes the road with- 1 out showing that he has good eyesight, is physically capable of driving, or that he has any,' knowledge of the traffic laws orj is able to un .ret and reasonable | warnjng a.d direction sigiu. ' Here it rni .lit !v , rji ted out m: 1 I the propc • 1 legislation does not attempt to force the states to 1 license operators of motor, vehicles. It simply provides that 1 if operators are not required to show their ability to drive, they must remain within the State borders. In other words, it js i ! limit on interstate movement, a power that is invested in Con gress. Provision is made jn Sen ator Truman's bill to allow all states ample time to meet its re quirements, its effective date | being 2 years after enactment, j An jmportant measure has been offered by Senator of Georgia, which has the pur- ( pose of providing Federal funds for the establishment of State highway patrols. I mention these two measures because they are indicative of Confrresslccial fpterept in the safety problem and are evidence "I STICK BY CAMELS...AND \ CAMELS STICK BY THIS SLUMINO FIRST BASEMAN of the Boeton XWRL' *' Red Sax (and steady Camel amoker) aaya:" Camels never gel on my narrea.

Enjoy Camels freely THE DANBU.Ii Il.'.l'Cr; ~..H ' o.' v/hai i-ay be expected in the ii States and municipal. I iica a:i. to solw tne problem. As "lie wiio lias used an auto- 1 : :'..obilc almost since it was firsi' I i ! invented, v» ho has driven a ear m many lands where natives had never seen an automobile, and a-' 1 one who appreciates the benefits' of highway transportation, it is ! my earnest hope that all State legislators will meet the safet> ! challenge of the day. The way has been pioneered. They haw j sV.nply to draw on the -> perienc-? of the States which are endeavor-; | ing to meet modern condjtiono in a modern way, rather than to continue ignoring these conditions and hoping for the best In expressing these thoughts i am not unmindful that our legis-j lators, National and State, are •endeavoring to solve many new| problems. One of these is the question of social security. While j differences of opinion exist as to i mediums and methods, there ia universal sentiment in favor of some form of old-age benefits. This is of vjtal importance un-| der the new conditions of today. But it is equally as important I thjat we offer protection to our citjzens to the end that they may live and enjoy the benefits of j their thrift. We cannot do so if the existing national callousness toward the hjghway problem continues. Hmd in hand with a minimum I number of sound laws belongs strYt and imnartial enforcement I by expereienced juroif. and tram- ( r-d officers. We must also have I adequate State patrols composed of men whose presence on the highway give a sense of security. I Careful selection and trailing of personnel will assure this type of patrol. A great number of States already have them in operation. Too widespread contempt for: many of our foolish and ill-ad- r vjscd motor laws and regulations, is, in my opinion, one of the Sac- j tors contributing to the condit ions of today. Certainly in oun cities too much time is spent in enforcing parking laws and too lit'.ie time in enforcing more im portant traffic violations that re tard tho movement of vehicles create congestion, and, in turn, I cauae accidents. And accidents on the highways here in the United States alone caused more than ' thirty-six thousand deaths. —By Senator R. R, Reynolds. I I P BILIOUSNESsI Marriage of Popular j Young Couple I J. C. Wall, Jr., and Sarah Alino : , liiiiff were united in marriage at! | North Wilkesboro Sunday, April jt, by Dr. J. S. Ellctt, a retired! Baptist minister, and a* the homa jof Dr. Elliott. The ceremony j ■ was performed in the presence of a few friends. I The bride is the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. R. I King of Danburv. She is a young lady of the finest qualities of | • character, and of marked person al grace and charm, and is one iof the most popular members of , the Danbury younger social set. I She was educated in the Walnut i ; Cove high school. I The groom is a son of Mr. and, i Mrs. C. O. Wall, of Walnut Cove j j and a *rrandson of the lat* Sher- j j iff J. C. Wall of Stokes. He was ; educated in the Walnut Cove high school. At present he holds ; a responsible position with a ■ Winston-Salem oil concern, and |is a very deserving and popular i voung man. !' E. R. Voss ! Makes Aople Record v E. R. Voss of Walnut Cove j I owns a fine farm, but for a num ber of years he engaged in apple hauling and peddling from Vir | ginia, just as a side line and as a i pleasant recreation, Mr. Vos3, though 85 years of age, drives his ! car as true and much more safe ly than many a young person, i I And during one winter Mr. I Voss established a record of 2560 bushels, hauled from Patrick : county and sold mostly in Stokes. I This record doubtless cannot be beat anywhere. jNew Citizens For Danburv The people of Danbury wel come to the town and communis* Mr. and Mrs. G. H.

Bushnell School of Kngltih. iMtnutloiiil Correepoedssce trK-tPs "BUNKUM" and the shorter word "bunk" both derive from Bun combe, tho name of a county in North Carolina. During a famous debate in Congress many years ago the representative for the district insisted on making a rambling speech when the House was impa tiently waiting for an opportunity to vote. The speaker explained his insistence by saying the people of his district expected ft of him; so he was bound "to make a speech for Buncombe." e • • Do not say, "That is an entirely different matter than the one you have in mind." "Than" indicates a comparison. Distinction or separa tion is indicated by "from," Say, "That is an entirely different o« v 7 *ros» the one yon haw in mind." * Page 3 dIDLS WAHTtD TO FILL WELL PAYING POSITIONS AS BEAUTY OPERATORS 1 Complete Course j $75.00 For information write GIRL'S BEAUTY SCHOOL 229 S.
