SERVICE RENDERED BY THE CHIJRH (The first of a series of talks cn Church Attendance, sponsored by the Sandhills Kiwanis Club.) The public school renders its service of providing budding citizens with facts, mental training and manual skill. The public utilities and the mer chants supply gas, water, pow er, food, clothing. The Church, too, has some thing to supply for the needs of normal life—far beyond a \varm building and comfortable pews in which to rest and enjoy good music and stimulating sermons. It supplies ideals, purposes, in spiration, joy, power. It teaches its members how to use most wisely all possessions. It teaches of man’s noble spiritual heri tage, and gives him contact with the Source of Life, for his refreshment and strengthening. For these benefits bestowed, the Church merits loyal support. Justly recognize service ren dered.

The driver intimated that ‘"Bhe was out of touch with the times, but she replied, “Neither your brakes nor your brains work fast enough to prevent an accident if anything should go wrong when a car is mak ing a mile a minute.” She was right, of course; the yearly toll of highway deaths, a goodly proportion of them caused by speeding, proves that she was right. And because the driver very much wanted to get that young woman home safely, he cut the speed to a safer level—and held it there. Neither the girl nor the driver was afraid of it. It WEisn’t that; it just suddenly seemed the sensible thing not to take chances when the few minutes to be gained made no dif ference. Perhaps—just perhaps—the fact that the young woman’s life had been threatened and she had had to slow down to save it made it seeem all the more precious that sunny October morning, w'hen the colors blazed on all the hills—signifying the death the trees must die before they could put on their mantles of living beauty again. “I’m too young to die yet!” No doubt those words express, too, the rebellion in the hearts of the tens of thousands of young people who die each year from tuberculosis— the greatest foe of the young, par ticularly young women. The death rate from tuberculosis has been cut to less than one-third of what it was thirty years ago, when it was the! leading cause of death. Yet when we | analyze these deaths, we find that tuberculosi.s is still the leading cause of death for men and women between 15 and 45 years of age. Between 15 and 451—the years of greatest pro ductivity, the years of greatest use fulness—and perhaps of happiness. But, analyzing the figures a bit fur ther, we find that among young wo men between 15 and 30 one in •very four deaths is from this highly con tagious disease. And these deaths are just as need less as are the deaths caused by speeding on the highway. Slow Down is the remedy indicated in both cases. There is little else to be done for tuberculosis; in most instances, fortunately, that is sufficient. Un checked, TB marches straight on to the high death rate Indicated above, but it is the most easily checked of all minor diseases. As we have said again and again on this page—said with all the experience and author ity of medical science on our aide— tuberculosis can be cured. BlI it must be combatted early; on'x & I real foothold has been established, it hangs on and on. And it spreads and spreads: tuberculosis is a “high ly contagious disease.” Every case of tuberculosis comes from another, frequently in the family. So the fight against tuberculosis must go on. And it is going on. Tiie National Tuberculosis Association is organized in every state in the Un ion. Its campaign is a continuous one; year in, year out, it presses the foe back wherever it has the co operation of the potential victims. And every year it gives us all a chance to help by buying—and using —those little symbols of hope, the Christmas Seals. For thirty years these seals have been spreading the message that tuberculosis can be cur ed. If you buy and use them gener ously from now till Christmas, you will be doing your part to reduce the number of those who, wanting to live, can only say, “I’m too young to die yet.” ePAINS €ir %Am~) SENATOR GLASS’ TWO-MINUTE SPEECH Senator Carter Glass of Vir ginia takes his stand firmly by the side of “constitutional gov ernment as opposed to political expedience” in a statement in New York. Speaking as guest of honor at the 122d dinner of the Economic Club of New York City at the Hotel Astor, a banquet attended by 1,300 leaders in finance, industry and commerce, the Secretary of the Treasury in Woodrow Wilson’s cabinet was on his feet just two minutes. When called upon, the Sena tor explained that his remarks might be a little out of place be cause he is “totally in disagree ment with nearly everything that has been done” by the New Deal at Washington and, fur ther, because he opposes “every thing that is now proposed to It done.” Then he added: “I believe in the fundamen tals of constitutional government and not in mere political exped ience. I note that the subject of the discussion tonight is ‘Bal ancing the National Budget.’ Well, it may be that the distin guished Assistant Secretary of the Treasury (Wayne C. Taylor) will be able to tell you gentle men when and how that will be done; but I prophecy in ad vance of his address, however clever and accomplished it may be, that it can never be done by undertaking to spend the na tion into prosperity. Well, I am going to quit right here.” The Senator echoed the sen timents of a large element in the country today. No budget was ever balanced by constantly dipping into the led ink bottle. HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT FOR ALLEGED CAR THEFT Leland Lewis, alias "Chick” Lewis, white, was in Recorder’s Court on Monday bound to Superior Court un der bond of $750 on charges of lar ceny of a Chevrolet laundry truck, approximately $30 in money and a quantity of clothing consisting fo coats, dresses and overcoats, the clothing being property of custo mers of the prosecuting witness, A. D. McLean. TO CONDUCT CLINIC Dr. Robert P. Shepard of South ern Pines and Pinehurst has been invited to conduct a clinic at the May meeting of the North Caroluia Dental Society at Winston-Salem. A father of three children has en rolled in the Highfalls High Schoo.', Katherine Shields of Carthage writrs. His name is Arter Mai'tindale, 'n employe of the Highfalls Cotton Mill. His shift at the mill which lasts from 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon until 11:00 o’clock at night, leaves him with plenty of spare time on h’s hands, so he decided to go to school and acquire more knowledge. The au thorities consented and he ia now a full-fledged student. Air. Marti»dale took a business course in W'inston- Salem a short while after he was married 14 years ago. The Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill now has a total of 350,000 volumes, rep resenting an addition of 20,000 since last year. One of the most important road signs the North Carolina Highway Commission ever put up are the cnes now stationed at the base of every hill admonishing the motorise to stay in single line. The sign stands out boldly in its warning em phasis and should be an important factor in discouraging the driver who is prone to rush to the crest of a hill abreast of another automobile. If such signs are heeded or en forced it shon'd Jo away with un tangling S' ^nic of tlie scrambled mix tures t’.at take p:ace where vision has b.en obscured or obstructed. The calendar says next week i marks the beginning of winter. It I comes as a bit of irony after the i last week or two, but to take the j ' gloom out of such ideas, several January magazines have put in their appearance with early Spring fash ions. Time out for a shudder. A Southern Pines man, not as a rule given to hobbies, is keeping a mental record of remarks made by automobile drivers commenting on our new traffic lights. His hobby so far shows an interesting combina tion of words both for and against, a few of the “against” unprintable in a conservative family journal. It’s 621 miles from Manteo to Murphy, if you use the State’s best highways and a car which averages 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline. The gasoline tax adds up to $2.17 for the trip. The average motorist pays an av erage of something more than $50.00 a year in automobile taxes, most of which are on his fuel.
