Dangers Of Fall Driving Are Listed Some of the dangers of fall driv ing were pointed out this week b; Ronald Hocutt, director of the High way Safety Division, who said mor< people are killed on the streets anc highways of this State the last thre< months of the year than are killer during any other four months in thi year. Last year, the fall traffic deatl toll for North Carolina was as fol lows: October, 102 deaths: Novem ber, 103 killed, and December. lOt killed "The fall months are the dangei months of the highways." said Ho cutt, "and this means that North Carolina motorists, pedestrians and bicycle riders must be more alerl than ever from now until the end ol the year." Hocutt listed fogs, forest fires early darkness and football garnet as among the principal factors that make the fall months more hazard ous on the highways. For driving in fog, the safety di rector urges motorists to lower the beams of their headlights, watch the right edge of the roadway, make sure that their taillights and stop lights are in good order, and drive slowly. The same cautions apply when driving through the smoke from forest fires, he said. Many accidents occur in the fall months because of early darkness, which comes in the fall during the rush hour?the pekk time for traf fic, when people are going home from the office, workers are pour W.P.A. Is Aiding In Defense Program -1 Contrary to earlier expectations '; that agencies like WPA would cur ~ i tail activities as the defense pro 1, gram spurred general industrial ?' work, it now appears the latter will, ' j instead, give the WPA a new lease ?' on life. Its payroll now covering about 1,718,000 persons, has remain ed pretty much unchanged since early summer, but now the agency is busying itself with projects like airport and rifle range construction, and armory rehabilitation, and ex pects to play an important part in military road and bridge building More appropriation? The treasury has ruled that salar ies paid to employees while they are absent in military service or serving ing from factories, and women are homeward bound from an afternoon of shopping "Whether you are walking or driv ing, darkness means danger," Ho cutt said. "It's just plain common sense to be more careful when you can't see as well." In this connection, he called at tention to the hazard faced by mo torists who have to "drive into the sun" during the late afternoon and early evenings in the fall. This haz ard, he said, can be overcome to some extent by keeping your wind shield clean, reducing your speed and using a visor or sunglasses. "Unless you are careful," Ilocutt said, "when riding in the fall you may be riding for a fall." "Fool ProoF' Chrysanthemum After five years of controlled fertilization, a "fool proof" chrysanthemum has been developed by University of Chicago botanists. It blooms two months earlier than customary and withstands sub-zero temperatures. Students Betty Jane Nelson and Gladys Garner are admiring plants which have been exposed to a 35-degrees-below-zero temperature and are nevertheless very much alive. the government in other ways" for Double a "nominal" compensation, are de- Flue-cured tobacco growers of ductible from gross income in com- Australia are to cooperate in an im puting federal income taxes, either t mediate attempt to double the coun personal or corporate.

S. Thumb-nail report: Business ? Good, though spotty; Industrial ac tivity?High, rising and steady; Prof its?Uncertain. Weigh those brief items thought fully. and Vou can see the trend de veloping in the current "billiuns-for defense-but-no-war-millionaires" sit uation. The steel rate moved up an other 16 points, to reach 94.2 per rent nf capacity. est level since last December's terriific boom. Com7" modity prices held strong. Commer cial loans of Federal reserve banks rose $55,000,000. indicating that bus iness men are witling to enlarge commitments in expectation of a continued high rate of activity. But. contrarily, the profit picture is pretty drab. The stock market _ tells the storv: although industrial actvity is higher than in 1937, stock prices are 40 per cent lower. That means that, while business general ly is satisfied that the defense pro gram assures a steady flow of high activity for months?even years? it is having to adjust itself to a new situation with respect to profits, mainly because the direct costs of doing business, tax-wise and other wise. are going up and up and up EXECUTRIX' NOTICE Having qualified as executrix of the estate of T S Had ley. deceased, late of Martin County.
