Death On l.aml Antl Sea The contents of the four column headlines an nouncing the loss of 300 lives, including thos< of 83 refugee children, were shocking to news paper readers this week. And such news is real ly shocking In the same mail hut tucked awav in statisti tal form came a report 011 the automobile deaths in N'oith Carolina during the first eight months of the year The grim toll up to the first of this month stood at 49!! or 300 more than the number lost'in tin sea tragedy a week ago On an average, five persons e ? ve been kileld so fat in each count;, of the Stall This number is al most as large as die number of Martin County men killed in the World War. and represents about one-twentieth of the number of young men likely to bi called into active military service this year The sinking of the !ef?i:i;ee ship is shocking to the minds of those Who still place a common value on human l.fThere's no end1 to the writ ings and talking about the universal military training program, and the war itself keeps us jittery. These combined are bad enough, to be sure, but it would appear that the death toll exacted day m and?day out on our highways is a grave problem, too Only eleven counties counted no highway deaths during the first eight months of 1940 Martin County counts only two to date It is encouraging to note that the count is less than the average for the State and five less than the count during the first eight months of last year. But even though the death count is running behind that of a year ago. it is indeed apparent that we as motorists and pedestrians continue indifferent to the danger that lurks on the high ways and streets with the passing of each cat. Much will have been accomplished 111 the di rection of safety when every motorist and ev ery pedestrian awakens to the danger of mod ern-day travel and turns his thoughts to Un determined prevention of death and destruc tion on our highways. There's little me. as in dividuals. can do about death on the high seas, but it is an established fact that we can and should do something about the slaughter on our highways m?t str....is Threat f'? /(c/igion ? It would appear that the pulpit has cast ?s?dt* its eceleastical robe anil plunged head first in to politics. A religious leader, apparently wed ded to Old Guard Republicanism and feeding front the trough of ill-gotten wealth, declares that a third term for President Roosevelt will threaten the spiritual and religious life of the American people. There has been no third-term question prior to this year, but already the Spiritual and re ligious life is at a low ebb. No third-term can be held responsible to the power dive the re ligious life of this country has taken during the past two decades. It is possible that a third term will hold the foundation of this nation and other nations of the world together long en ough for the church to awaken from its lethar gy and save itself. A government similar to that experienced in this country in the early thirties will afford a foundation for the church. And a return to that type of government will mean the overthrow of religion and the church It is to be remembered that the church was tiampled in Russia when millions were starv ing and the elite were mocking the^Almighty with their empty religion as practiced in the great cathedrals. II the church of this country wishes to be push ed into the background then let it line up with those politicians who would deny democracy a helping hand and who would kick President Roosevelt out during this, the greatest crucial period in the history of mankind The Ihiiifi S/ieaks For Itself The Detroit Free Press one of the ultra-con servative journals, uncovered another episode in which Republican politicians employed un fair tactics in the furtherance of their candi date The Latins of old would say under simi lar circumstances, "Res ipsa loquitur" (the thing speaks for itself) G. O. P. Learns It Can't Keep Roosevelt Down at the Fair The State Fair Board of Managers, being Re publican almost to a man, was loyal to the Grand Old Party to the end of the fair Sunday night, even though they may not have been entirely, ethical in the way they tried to keep the G. O R in the ascendancy. That, at least, was the way it looked to Mr. and Mrs Henry Rauch, of 59 Seward, who paid 95 good New Deal dollars to rent a concession at the fair where they sold Roosevelt and Will kio stickers and buttons and kept a public score hoard to show how the sales were going. All was well w ith their concession until last Wednesday when, for the first time, the num ber of Roosevelt buttons sold exceeded the num ber of Willkie buttons. The scoreboard in front of their concession proclaimed that the Presi dent was in the lead in the Rauch straw voting. "Soon after the scoreboard showed Roosevelt ahead." Rauch Said Sunday^ with a note of bit terness "Schrader came over and told us to contrive to make Willkie lead the vote or else take the board down " "Schrader" is Lester R. Schrader, of Center ville. a member of the board of managers who is in charge of renting concession space. "He told us to start counting twice as much for a Willkie sale as for a Roosevelt sale," Mrs. Rauch chimed in. Rauch bail Iwen eiiiml mg l ive vntoi fur i .uli - candidate with every button sale. After Schrad er bad issued his ultimatum he counted 10 votes for every Willkie sale. Rauch said. Things went along more smoothly until Sun day night, when, despite the 2-to-l handicap, Roosevelt again forged into the lead. Within 2 minutes," Rauch said, "Schrader was over here, and lie took our scoreboard away." Willkie Trails Again Rauch borrowed another makeshift score boiird at about 0:90 p. in Sunday ahd chalked up the coned score. It stood Roosevelt, 5,260; Will kie, 2,940 "That's the right score, and we are going to 4teep it rtght for the rest of the pinning If can," said Rauch. Schrader was "out to dinner" when the new scoreboard went up At a late hour, however, the board was still there. BAPTIST Bible School, 1*45 a. m. Morning worahip, 11 a. m Morning worahip, 11 a. m.

Government Issues Call For Mora Skilled Workers Repeated calls are being issued by the United States Government for skilled workers, a late release from the Civil Service Commission stat ing that skilled laborers are urgent ly needed in the various navy yards, depots and other branches of the de fense service. Hie call is principally for machin ists, shipwrights, mechanics, elec tricians, aircraft woodworkers, cop persmiths, dies inkers, shipfitters and others. Positions are now waiting and begging for skilled workers in a dozen or more states. ? "HE'S RUNNKV, AINT HE?" An old Negro Mammy in the South asked if she thought the President would be re-elected, replied. "He's ramin', ain't he?" 1 I Jura termer it laokv Over Third Rater .4 Item) * Senator Ashursl, of Anions. -who once expressed himself against a third term for Presidents, was chal lenged in the Senate as to his posi tion now. "I am an advocate of the right of public men to change their minds." he replied. "In this particu lar instance, I have not changed my mind, but I am confronted with such a situation that I must vote for a third termer or a third rater, and I prefer to vote for a third termer ra ther than a third rater."
