Excessive Speeds
Cause Accidents
"Yours may be the only car on the
road and you still will stand a chance
of being involved in a serious acci
dent unless you drive at a safe
speed." Ronald Hocutt, director of
the Highway Safety Division, said
this week.
Hocutt made this statement after
studying the 1940 record with re
spect to single responsibility acci
dents on North Carolina streets and
highways. Single responsibility ac
cidents are accidents involving only
one vehicle and one driver, as when
a car overturns in the roadway, runs
off the road, or strikes a fixed ob
ject.
"It doesn't take two cars to make
an accident," he declared. "It only
takes one car driven improperly.
Last year, 988 persons Were killed
in traffic accidents in North Caro
lina, and 280 of these were killed n
single responsibility accidents. Fif
ty-four were killed in cars that
struck fixed objects, such as bridge
abutments, telephone poles, etc.. on
the roadway or on the right-of-way
And 161 were killed in cars that got
out of control and ran off the road
Sixty-eight were killed in cars that
overturned in the roadway."
A large majority of these acci
dents are a direct result of excessive
speed." the safety director said. "Cars
just don't turn over in the roadway
or g?? sailing tiff into a ditch or field
unless they are being driven so fast
that their drivers are unable to con
trol them.
"It is speed that is killing people
every day on North Carolina high
ways. and until speeding is discoui
aged by unrelenting and impartial
enforcement, we need not expect any
reduction in single responsibility ac
cidents. at least.
Eliminate Several
Retail Beer Joints
Raleigh--The Brewers and North
Carolina Beer Distributors Commit
tee cooperated with law enforcement
officers in the elimination of seven
undesirable retail beer outlets dur
ing the month of March.
Edgar H. Bain, of Goldslxiro, state
director in charge of the beer indus
try's "clean up or close up" campaign
in North Carolina, said the March
revocations increased the total to
154 -126 by revocation. 26 by refus
al of local authorities to relicense on
information furnished by the com
mittee. and two by surrender.
In addition, eleven dealers have
been placed on probation, and 231
I dealers have been warned to "clean
up" or face revocation proceedings.
During the month of March, the
committee cooperated with local au
thorities in the revocation of six re
i tail licenses in Graham. Ashe, Cher
okee and Edgecombe counties. Re
vocation petitions were filed against
four dealers in Transylvania, Sw;
and Onslow counties. Letters of
warning were sent to 18 dealers in
Cumberland, Onslow, Brunswick and
Lenoir counties.
The field inspector investigated
103 outlets in 21 counties, bringing
the total of investigations to 1,686
man Blythe. "Also he was a staunch
supporter of the 'aid to Britain' bill
that recently became law We con
sider ourselves fortunate in having
him, Chairman Flynn, Treasurer
Reynolds and the rest with us on
the night of April 4."

By TONV ELTON
WORLD'S END by Upton Sinclair
is one of the most timely of the cur-^
rent novels. Created out of infinite
pains and profound sincerity which j
point the way of destiny both to the
individual and to society, this story
reviews for the present-day readei
the events of the first World War
Conditions during the war, the ef
fect of these conditions upon the
morale of the various classes and ,
types of people, and the struggle in
Paris at the conference which fol
lowed the war.
In relating this historical review, j
Sinclair has woven the actual facts
into a most interesting and roman j
tic story which catches and holds t
one's attention throughout.
The story is woven around Lan
ny Budd, who was born of an Am
erican father and a French mother. j
Due to some misunderstanding on
the part of the father's parents, the
mother was not allowed to come to
America and to share directly in the |
family millions made in the man- ,
ufacture of ammunitions. As a re- j
suit the mother and son remained
in Europe and Lanny grew up in
France, Germany and England ?
moving in the most dangerous cir
cles of European society at that time.
The friends he made before the war j
were still dear to him during the '
long struggle even though they were
fighting against the country in which
he lived'
The life of this youngster became j
involved in the web of Zaharoff's i
plans. H?' was thrown into close con
tact with Woodrow Wilson, Lincoln
Steffens and others at the peace con
ference in which all the world was
so vitally interested. Two ways of
life fought for Danny's allegiance
and the way Sinclair leads him
through forms a most interesting
story:
In this story of love and intrigue.
Upton Sinclair's high standing in
the world of fiction is reaffirmed.
Like Emile Zola, the French writer,
Sinclair has sacrificed and suffered
much because? of his convictions.
Yet. he stands for them fearlessly
and profits nothing but his own self
satisfaction in the end. The thous
ands of dollars made from hi* nov
els have been donated freely to or
ganizations in whose principles he
believed. Only his tireless energy has
kept him from starvation, even
though his works have been pyblish

Si?;n Of (?oo(l Times
A favorite ..sage observation of
armchair economists is tli.it swift
rising sales of alarm clocks ami low
priced watches are sure sign of''good
times. It works out that way mow-,
with demand for low-priced time
pieces described as "simply terrific,"
'because so many more folk find it
necessary to get up on time o'morn
ings. Another factor in the watch
sales boom is the orders from oth
er countries, which formerly got a
good shaie of tlleir timopioces from
(eiinaiiy Paradox is that one fam
ous alarm clock making company has
turned down an order for 75,000 bell
ringers, from England, because it's
using the brass it has on hand to
make inexpensive wrist watches in
stead. They can produce 10 wrist
watches the brass parts with the
amount of that metal one alarm
clock would take. On the other iiand
tb'V outlook is for a considerable rise
in the general level of watch prices,
possibly even a disappearance of the
time honored "dollar" variety
Business Continue*
s
To Higher L< wels
Still going up. That's the phrase
for almost everything in the business
picture. Exports dropped for Febru
ary, naturally, but even in that field
non-agricultural items showed a
gain, though not enough to offset big
drops in farm exports. Department
store sales dropped slightly, too, but
that's in comparison to the week that
in 1940, led up to Easter. Otherwise,
all is on the "up" side. Non-agricul
tural employment in February hit
36,584,OOCf^-highest February level on
record. Refrigerator sales set new
high for February. Freight car load
ings at best level since November 9,
1940, and highest for any comparable
week since 1930. Furniture trade or
ders for February were 40 per cent
above the same month of last year,
I and tin* best for any February since
j 1929. Steel ingot production running
I at 99 1-2 per cent of capacity and
| hitting 102 1-2 in some plants in the
j Chicago area. Buying of new freight
cars by railroads is at best rate since
year
ed in almost every country in th
world.
Unlike a great many authors, Sin
clair has held a fast grip onto th
life about him. He has not shut him
self away from the world to live
lonely life. He takes a very activ
part in the matters of government ii
his home state, California. With hi
EPIC plan, he captured the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor ii
California in the 1934 campaign am
all but won the election.
