Give The Kids A Brake!
That's what the Department of Motor
Vehicles urges all motorists to do as
school opens again and brings back the
children s rush hours.
"Last year in the United States, 2,400
children five to 14 years of age?school
age?were killed in traffic accidents,"
Col. L. C. Rosser, Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles 'said. "And to our sorrow, 72
of these youngsters were victims of auto
mobile traffic right here in North Caro
lina. In addition, 461 other children in
this age group were injured in North
Carolina traffic accidents."
"These are needless accidents. We try
to teach our children the rules of traf
fic safety?but all the means we can de
vise will never relieve the driver of his
responsibility. It's up to the motorist to
watch out for the children!"
Here are some of the ways motorists
can help protect the youngsters:
1. Consider every child on the street a
human caution sign.
2. Drive with extra care whenever you
see children?in school zones and res
idential areas, or wherever you suspect
they may be playing near the street.
3. Keep clear of bicycles^They should
know the regulations ? but even when
they violate laws you've got to watch out
for them.
4. Watch out for youngsters on tricyc
les, roller skates, scooters, and coaster
wagons.
INSIDE WASHINGTON
WASHINGTON ? Defense Secretary
James Forrestal has spoken the "last
word" ordering the Air Force and the
Navy to quit bickering over their res
pective war missions?but, rest assured,
the wrangling will continue.
The fight is almost historic now, where
as in the past it has involved many an
gles, it now centers around the 65,999
ton superaircraft carrier the Navy is
building.
Forrestal's dictum was almost "taken"
when the Air Force suddenly heard a
bout the carrier plans. Air Force com
manders immediately tabbed the move
for what it doubtless is ? a Navy at
tempt to insure itself a place in the atom
bomb picture.
* Naval aviation leaders had been de
claring the carrier, with its planes, could
carry the A-bomb further to a target than
land-based bombers. The Navy feared
.the counter-assertion that it had no car
rier plane big enough to tote the very

So they launched plans for the huge
uaitop, which will support sizable twin
engine planes capable oi doing the job.
lhe Air Force, under the defense plan
assured control of strategic (heavy) i
bombardment, nevertheless is afraid the1
Navy would'refuse to assign the big car
rier to an Air Force mission when re
quested.
Even if it did, Air Force figures the
Navy would get the credit.
' FARM PRICES HITTING SKIDS ?
During the war and up until last autumn,
tne government pleaded for greater farm ,
prouuction. Now it is laceu witn tne ne-'
cessity of pegging failing prices on rec
ord-breaking crops.
If 1949 production matches 1948 out
put, this will mean an outlay of five or six j
billion dollars and maybe more. The law j
requires loans at 90 per cent of parity
through 1949 on many commodities.
There could be huge losses. These
would arise froju the difference between j
the amount the government loans and1
the price at which it sells the commod
ities.
THE "RED DEAN" ? The State de-j
partment's refusal to grant an American!,
visa to Dr. Hewlett Johnson, the so-call-,
ed "Red Dean" of Canterbury, was noth-j
ing unusual.
it has been the government's policy'
for some time to deny entry to private
individuals who are sponsored by groups!
considered subversive in. the United
States. -
The case of the British churchman,;
however, was the first in which the name
of a prominent personage has figured.
In most cases, U. S. consuls overseas
merely refuse to issue visas in such in
stances and the matter is then closed.
However, when a well-known individual
is involved, guidance is sought from
Washington.
The State department rejected the re
quest on the grounds that Dr. Johnson1
would speak under the auspices of the
Council for American-Soviet Friendship,
an organization which Attorney-Gener-!
ai Tom C. Clark has termed suoversive.l
B-29s ON TRAINING ? The United
Slates will keep a potent B-29 bombing
force in Europe on "training" missions
until the United States-Russia crisis is
settled. That may not be soon.
Despite frequent replacement of the
three 30-plane groups now overseas, the
Air Force will see to it that the. number
is not reduced.
To critics who claim that 90 of the
craft which leveled Japan could not do
much, good if fighting suddenly broke
out. Air Force strategic bombardment
experts simply bring out specification
sheets. ~
These show that the B-49 has been
modified since the war to carry 26 tons
of bombs on short missions. Ninety times
26 makes it clear that the United States
"training" force in Europe could unleash
2,300 tons of bombs in a single strike.
This is more than was ever dumped on^
Japan.'
Of course, Air Force will not say pub
licly that all the B-29s will be kept in
Europe. Tip-off, however, was dispatch of
Maj. Gen. Leon Johnson overseas to di
rect the "training."
According to best information, 90
planes were never before placed under
such a high-ranking officer, or one so
well-known as a strategic bombardment
expert.
FALL PLANTING TIME
The Everyday Counsellor
By REV. HERBERT SPAUGH. D. O.
Many modern writers are fill-1
ns our book shelves with novels
which glorify immorality for profit
while thousands read them to no
n*: fit. "Bold Galilean," by the
veil-known writer LeGette Blythe
)f Charlotte, N. C. (University of
NTorth Carolina Press $3.50) is not
)ne of these novels. It is the op
-osite.
To be released September 30 it
is a colorful nov- *
cl of three Rom
an citizens in
Palestine during
the second and
third years of
Christ's minis
t r y. Centurion
Gaius, Tribune
Lucius and Mar
cus. the son of a wealthy senator
urned merchant, meet but three
T.es in the course of two years,]
each time their lives altered.
The change comes about from
heir meeting with Jesus Christ,
ie Bold Galilean. |
While the story is written around
these three Roman characters, the
entral figure which overshadows
ail is Jesus Christ who is present
ed us a bold but lovable character
vho attracts men to Him with His
courageous and affectionate per
sonality. The author takes the
'cader through his book by means
a series of vividly contrasting
pictures. Evil is presented in all
of its seductive and vicious forms.
~^y contrast Christ moves through.
the entire story as the central
figure with His matchless courage
md love. No weakling, the Bold
Galilean strides across the Pales
k>.ne stage as a sunburned brawny
young rabbi who speaks with com
pelling warmth and understand
ing.
Of course, there is a love story
.vcven in the book between Mar
cus and Mary Magdalene.
The novel pictures the political
corruption of the Roman Empire
already past its zenith and moving
? !'to decline and fall. Yet it sounds
modern, as Marcus says, "My God
s substance, money, silver, gold,
?h ps, merchandise, slaves . . .
Mcney is power. Give me money,
and I can get anything I want."
Leprosy and its healing by Christ
changes him. His face to face
denuciation of Pontius Pilate after
the crucifixion is a masterpiece.
Throughout the book runs the
thread that Jesus Christ presents
the only workable philosophy ever
devised to solve men's ills.
While showing evil at its worst,
he does not glorify it, but by con
trast with the vigorous goodness
of the Bold Galilean and His fol
lowers, he glorifies the best in
men inspired by God.
Author Blythe has written other
outstanding novels, "Marshall
Ney" and "Alexandriana," but in
"Bold Galilean" he reaches new
heights, showing life at its worst
and its best.
TIMBER TALKS
By W. C. HENNESSEE '
The President of the United
States and Governors of several
spates, along with the Governor
General of Canada, will proclaim
October 3 thru 9 as Fire Preven
t.on Week for this year.
More than 10,000 Americans
will die in fires this year and
twice this number will be badly
burned, some of them disfigured ioi
life. At the current rate of burning,
approximately $2,000,000 worth of
valuable goods go up in smoke
each and every day of the year.
Some place in the United States,
a preventable fire flares up every
twenty seconds right around the
clock.
Fire Prevention is not complicat
ed, neither is it expensive. It
doesn't take a' lot of time, But,
I'm sure it will prove to be the
safest investment we can ever
make.
The slogan for the 1948 Fire
Prevention Week Campaign, is,
"Help Yourself to Fire Preven
tion." Won't you help by taking
every possible precaution to pre
vent forest fires, not only during
