The enthusiasm over the
Southern Pines Library Concert
Series is interestnip. It seems as
if in this time of sadness and in
tense anxiety people feel a deep
need for somethinir of this sort
in the community. The value of
music to strengthen and en
courage, as well as its more ob
vious one. to offer a temporary
escane from one’s troubles, is
clearly manifest.
There is perhaps a deeper in
terpretation to be put on thej
welcome piven to these concerts.
In every way, one foels, these |
days, an awakoninji of com- j
munity spirit, a dpp])enincr of the
Fense of civic ros))onsil)i]itv. The ;
ph rase, “We must make democ-,
racy work, is heard in casual | Xew. improved roads in the vici.n-
conversation as well a> in pub-ljty Fort Bragg came nearer to

Kor a number of yeai's the Rev.
dward F. Green and D. H. Turner
’'ave solicited funds from people oi
’(luthorn Pinos to help make the
Christmas time more cheei-ful for
the Cotmty Home inm.at.es and the
prisoners at the Pri.son Camp in
T.'oorc county. This year they were
unusually generous in their contii-
butions, so nmch so that each of the
19 inmates at the County Home en
joyed gifts and a small amount of
cash. The 100 prisoners shared in
the good fortune ps well, as they
each received Christmas edibles and
a gift. Mr. Green and Mr. Turner
jointly conducted a short religious
meeting at the County Home and the i
Prison Camp. '
Mr. Green and Mr. Turner have

Editor. The Pilot:
Many in the workl of today accept
the name Christmas but take Christ
'rom the Feast snd make of it just
nother celebration.
Ii is heartening to find in our
wn t'v.vn that Mrs. Hayes' .Shop and
*he Clark Funeuil Home have both
•"ound time to cause the rest of iis
o stop and realize the true mean-
iq- of rhristmn5!. Tho’iph Mrs. Hayes'
Shop had a beautiful scene, the
Jlark Funeral Home display was
most inspiring and deseives special
commendation. The representnti.">n ot
the Magi should remind us all that
the world needs more "Wise Men" to
lead us back to the feet of the
“Prince of Peace."

“It’s goinjr to take a lot of in-1'^'•’oani^ations and individuals in
lelliKont planning and coordinat- oach and every community in
effort on the part of a lot of
individuals and orjranizations to
check the current upward trend
in traffic accidents in North
(’arolina,” Ronald Hocutt, direc
tor of the Highway Safety Di
vision, declared this week.
Reporting that provisional
tlfeures indicate a toll of approx
imately 1,000 killed and 9,000 in
jured on North Carolina streets
Jind highways during 1940, Ho
cutt pointed out that accidents
in the state since last August
have taken an upward trend
which appears liable to continue
into the New Year.
“This slaughter must be stop
ped, and I pledge a more vigor
ous effort on the part of the
Highway Safety Division to
wards reducing traffic accidents
during 1941,” he said. “But we
can not do the job alone. The
traffic problem is largely a lo
cal problem, and definite steps
towards eliminating accidents
must come, for the most part,
ir.g a large surplus of power. Tlie
