bera who voted for it to the House
now find what they e-all such a Joker
It . is a provision which says that
when the cost of national defense
plants has been recovered those
plants become the property of the
government. Right now. major national
defense industries are airplane
factories. shipyards and munitions
plants. But before long it
will be necessary' for national defense
to have underwear and socks
and shirts for soldiers and sailors:
it wij be necessary to supply them
With food.
So neqrly all farms and factories
conceivably wilt soon become essen
tial national defense facilities.
What with government loaus and
foreclosures in other fields, plus
this' new joker, it isn't hard for
some folks in Washington to imagine
the day when the government
will own everything.
. In fact, that seems to be the defl
uito objective of some reformers.

Boys' State Representatives
Make Chapel Talks
A very literostlng assembly program
was held at the high school ,
Tuesday wheu Billy Throneburg |
and Floyd Queen spoke to the stu
dent' body concerning their trip in
August to the Boys' State Conference
held In Cha[*l Hill. These boys
"Cmrti-BhnT"HjfiUhimid Hill by the
local l'ost of the American Legiou (
tnd Kiwanis Club.
Billy Throueburg stated In bis ad- A
dress that there were 135 boys attending
the Conference, tie though' '
that they were the finest crowd oi
boys to be found In the State
xj-V.f--xsno-.- ,-~m ?v.?TT.*ia, is mm 'i imnlJ
outlined for both day and night '
which was very instructive, to the
buys. The half million dollar new 1
gymnasium was placed at the disposal
of the boys so they could enjoy
its facilities.
Moyd Queen spoke at some length
concerning the plun which had
been used at the University to
teach how the government is operated.
He stated that they had an elec
lion of candidates and carried out
their mock government program
Just as a real government program
is carried out. He stated that Billy
Throneburg was appointed as 'a
slate representative and that he had
been Appointed as a State senator.
At the conclusion of tne speeches
oy tuese two oo> s, Supt. h. *\. uaru
en usUed jf they thought a mocK
program count he put on iu the
icings .Mountain iiigti school simitar
to the one carried out at the
CouicreUcc. Tuey thought that perhaps
the students iu the Civics
classes ami American History class
cs could put ou such a program apa
that it would be vuluuble both to
the studeats in these classes and
io the student body at large.
Both boys expressed their appre- ]
ciation' for having been recommend
ed to go to the Conference and j
they were both very high in their
praise of the local American Legion
and Kiwanle Club.
Drive Carefully J.
During the Fair Season ,
| With several dozen county and
district (airs about to open in vari1
ous parts of the State, Ronald Hoj
cutt, director of the Highway Safety
Division, called attention this week
to the fact that several North Carolinians
were killed and a number of
others Injured in tfaffic accidents
while going to or returning from
fairs in the state last fall.
"During fair week, life moves mar
rlly along the midways and death
stalks stealthily along the highways,"
Hocutt commented. ''Acd.
dent records of previous years indicate
that a good many accidents,
some of them fatal, occur each fall
in the heavy traffic on streets and
highways leading to and from the
various grounds where county and
district fairs are held."
Some of these accidents, be said
are a result of the careless walking
habits of pedestrians biund to and
from the fair on foot; some are a
result of drinking on the part of dri
vers or pedestrians, or both; and
others are a result of excessive
speed.
For people planning tQ attend
fairs in the state this fall, the safety
director suggests the following
safety rulea: t ,;
Hold your speed down to tit th/>
existing conditions of traffic, rial-,
bility, road surface and weather
Dim your headlights when meeting
other cara at night. If you drive n
horse-drawn vehicle, be sure that It
Is poorly lighted. When walking on
the highway, walk on the left feeing
traffic, and if at night wear or
catry something white. Whether
you are walking or driving, stay off
the highway If you've had anything
to drink. Obey all traffic rjnlds, ob
serve signs and signals and pay
strict attention to your driving.**
'It every person attending fairs
In North Carolina this fail will follow
these simple, commonsense
suggestions, this State should get
through the 1940 Pair season without
a single traffic death occurring
among those going to and from the
fairs." Director Hocntt said.
