SAVING 5^10 LIVES Prom November of last year until August of this year there has been an unbroken decrease in motor ve hicle fatalities for the country as compared with the corresponding months of the previous year. The National Safety Council reports the "saving" in lives has amounted in nine months to 5,310. The improvement, according to the Council, has not been actional, but has extended to all parts of the coun try. It has been made in the face of a one per cent increase in automo bile mileage and probably higher speeds on the roads. Apparently, the drivers of automobiles and pedes trians, as well, are beginning to rea lise that the auttomobile can be a deadly weapon. CAN WE ESCAPE WAR? With soldiers massing in Europe, the border fortresses manned and battleships taking up strategic sta tions in the North Sea, it must be apparent, even to a pacifist, that there is danger of war in Europe. While the people of the United States are more world-minded than they were in 1914, our citizens, as a rule, are strong for peace. Many of them want it at any price, most of them at some inconvenience and rela tively few are ready or willing for the United States, as a nation, to ' its stand for law and order throughout the world. ? When the fighting begins in Eu rope, there is no way to tell how far it will spread. The Far East, the Near -East and Europe itself will be the battle centers immediately. As the struggle continues the faraway stretches of ocean will bear witness to the strife of nations. Eventually, South America and even North America will be affected, if not ac tually included, by the developments of the struggle. There are many sensible people in the United States who believe that this country can remain aloof from any world war. They advocate a form of neutrality, with the idea of preventing the spread of strife into this hemisphere and in the hopes that, when peace comes again, civili zation will have been protected and preserved in the Western Hemisphere. They want the United States to be unimpaired m strength and to be the intellectual, moral and spiritual lead er of the world. There are others, equally sincere and intelligent, who do not see how this country can keep out of a -pro longed war iq Europe. Knowing the cost in men and materials of. partici pation in a gigantic struggle, these citizens lean to the idea that the power of the United States should be used to prevent war from beginning. This course, they admit, involves the danger of immediate participation, but this peril, they contend, la lees than the chances of becoming invol ved if the world witnesses another struggle like that which began in 1914. Consequently, they argue, we should take the lesser ride immed iately rather than ami greater peril later on. 11 ? ? 1 ' ?? OUR SCHOOLS SERVE DEMOCRACY With the opening of the schools of Pitt Coraty, it might be -veil for parents and teachers to do a Httle thinking about the pupils that pre sort a pvobtem to both of them. Children going to a school system should not - be regarded as near ma teria}'to be subjected to eertain defi nite processes in the eapactation that the*- fhdehsd product can he tuNriii or ataawihrdiied. Factors of inheri tance and environment combine to maheeudhfc|hild a special subject re it into a polished haman beiig aaa \ - m* A,, A -? J--t lit ? ?mM^L looDBg ror a gooa aeat rney must ^Tsa^heiSe"*^^W other hand, s?*'11^ Along with millions of other Ameri- j cans, we thoroughly endores the com- j mon schools which offer educational opportunity to all children upon prac- j tically equal terms. The schoolhouse, j in oer opinion, is the bulwark of I democratic processes, which should j be understood, respected and obeer- I red by officials and teachers as well j as students. SHALL THE "ELECT" GOVERN? 1 There are any number of Ameri- I can citisens who count themselves as I important parsons in their own com- I .?nunities who do not believe in per- j mitting the people to have the right j to vote. These members of a self-j I appointed class of "elect" persons |J are convinced that the average man!j and woman has not the intelligence j j necessary to solve public problems. I Naturally, these individuals reflect I their own interests. As a rule, theyjl have considerable property and are I more concerned over its retention I than they are in the upbuilding and j uplifting of die average inhabitant of the United States. For them, it is extremely foolish to inflict any burdens upon the property-owning class in the hope of developming a better type of citizenship in this country. While the voice of the people is I often far removed from our ideas as 1 to the voice of God, there is little reason to suspect that - the voice of that it would be the selfish voice of I any selected class, such as that com posed of the property-owning individ uals, would be anything nearer to perfection. In fact, the chances are a small minority of individuals. K would only reflect the interests of a certain group and never would give just consideration to the demands of I humanity itself. Heavy Yield Expected Prom Field of Burley Many a flue-cured tobacco grower would Tike to have a field of leaf as good as the burley tobacco growing on the farm of Thomas L. Wilson in Watauga County. His crop covering only nine-tenths of an acre, and now standing as high as a man's head, is expected to pro duce 1,800 to 2,000 pounds of good quality tobacco, said Robert W. Shoffner, extension farm manage ment specialist at State College. Last year a field of about the same size lying just across a road produced 1,900 pounds of leaf, and this year's crop, growing on better land, gives promise of doing- even better, Shoff ner added. Wilson is one of the demonstration farm operators who are working .in cooperation with the State College Extension Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority in carrying out a good program of land use and farm management. He has been building up his soil by applying lime and triple-superphos phate and by growing legumes. When the tobacco is harvested _this fall, Wilson plans to sow rye for a winter cover crop.. Red clover will be sown on the rye next spring and probably be allowed to remain on the field for two years before it is turned under and 'another crop of tobacco planted. Wilson has only 29. acres on his farm, but he produces 14 commodities for safe: poultry, eggs, pi;rs, cab bage, tobacco, beef cattle, sheep, wool, calves, honey, butter, vegeta bles, potatoes, and fruits including apples. His annual farm income averages $1,700. - ? ??? ? ' ^CHURCHES SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 - BAPTIST CHURCH Frank R. Moare, Supply Pastor. 9:45 A. M.?Sunday School. G. W. Davis, Superintendent. 11:00 A.
