Our Father, and cause Us to think Thy thoughts that we, too, may he willing to sacri fice all for Thee. Be Alive On The Fifth With the Fourth of July holiday just around the corner, many efforts are being made to urge automo bile drivers and pedestrians as well to he caret ui during the holiday which always takes a great tol) of life. Newspapers, television ami radio programs frequently urge sane and careful driving especially I over holidays and in .Edenton. this year another . unique effort is being earned out by members p|.., the Woman’s Club. By the chain method every, tele phone in the county should be rung and the admoni tion given to drive .carefully over the f ourth at July |- holiday in order to eliminate any accidents. so that much is being said and done tii curtail. the slaughtet . on the highways. : While 1954 saw a slight decrease in the nation's ! automobile accident toll, nearly two million casualties were recorded. Even with the slight improvement over the more than two million reported in !9o3,thg rasaiUsjmj I staggering. ! , oei™; Reports show that .'15,5011 persons wer.- killed and 1,900,000 injured in 1954. Excessive-peed was tile most dangerous driving mistake in 19n4. Si sill ed 12,380 people and injured more than 059,000. Week-end crashes accounted for 13,980 killed and 678,000 hurt during 1954. Thirty-nine per cent of the deaths and 35 per cent of the injuries occurred on Saturdays and Sundays last year. Three out of four auto accidents happened to pas senger cars driving in dear weather on dry* roads, and 78 per cent of vehicles involved in fatal acci- \ dents were traveling straight ahead. These are grim statistics. The above figures point | out that accidents are heavy, even though state ami community authorities have spent millions of dol lars in an effort to provide safer and better mads and saner driving. Insurance companies and ether private firms art spending millions for safety education. State, enti ty, loeal and parkway police are constantly patrolling streets and highways. More and better engineered thru ways are coming off the drawing boards. It ap pears to us that almost everyone is eonrerned with this needless slaughter and its accompanying waste of human and property values. Almost everyone, that is, but the drivers. Traffie regulations were set up as a proper'guide for the handling of traffic, and need the coopera tion of all drivers. The problem starts and could ideally end with the drivers. Who are the driver.-? Each one of us knows the answer to that question: i It is sincerely hoped that by continually reminding 1 drivers of safe driving through newspaper messages, television, radio and literature that traffic a,. idetits will tie reduced. It can lie done. We uv th,. driv ers and it is up to us to see that it will !„• dom ' Be careful on the highways s., that you will be alive on the fifth. No Secrets Plans have been made, and have received govern mental approval, whereby a group of Russian farm ers will lie allowed to \ isit American agricultural areas, starting in lowa. Whether the Russians make the visit or not. it is plain that Russian officials are extremely keen to learn about American fanning. Russia always has . serious food problem and whole regions of the I'SSR hav e liven struck in actual . famine. In an editorial discussing the proposed tour the Opinion-Tribune of Glenwood. lowa, made this strik ing observation: "W,. hav,- no apprehension that the visit to the United States hy a group of Russian farmers will reveal any particular D. S. agricultural secrets. In fact, this country has no agricultural -e. crets —only hard work, progressive farm practices and individual freedom and initiative.” All these material benefits are tile result of free dom—and of the political and economic system which prizes individual freedom above all else.

GUY C. HOBBS, Mgr. "Your John Deere Dealer" EDENTON, N. C. / A 0 HEARD & SEEN By “Buff” v i Mrs. B. K. Francis will celebrate her 88th birth day at her home on East Water Street next Sun , day. She lias not been in the best of health lately | but then over a span of 88 years she must have been very fortunate to enjoy a lot of good health. Any way. here’s congratulations on reaching her 88th milestone, a goodly portion of time to enjoy a lot of earthly pleasure. » I The source of my cigar supply is apparently ex panding. This Week Mrs. Henry Quinn brought me a cigar, hut it wasn’t from her. In reality it came from Charlie Quinn of Gastonia, a brother of Henry Quinn, who recently became daddy again. According to the looks of things in Edenton, and j if everybody “pays up”, it shouldn’t he long until ! 1 get plenty of cigars. 1 Mayor Ernest Kehoyes had little mercy Monday night. Town Councilmcn messed with the budget 1 for the new fiscal year until the dock was about ready to toll 12 times. When adjourning some of the hoys suggested that Ernest go to His restaurant and cook a few steaks. “Not for $lO each,” said Ernest, so \\y all went home himet-v—and sleepy. Chain letters are against the law, but chain tele phoning apparently isn’t. At any rate members of the Edenton Women's Club on Wednesday and today will take part in a nation-wide chain project to ring every telephone in the county to urge automobile drivers to help reduce traffic accidents over the Fourth of July holiday. Each person called will he requested to cal! four others, so that instead of the promised receipt'.of money, fishing plugs, good luck, etc., in chain letters, every, telephone in the county should be sounded and the request made to drive with can- and courtesy oyer the holiday week-end. Here’s hoping the project results in fewer wrecks. July the Fourth, sort of early for a cotton blossom to put in an appearance, isn’t quite here yet. hut al ready two- have been brought to The Herald office. The first was from Asa Griffin, who found a num ber on his farm Sunday. The next was from Carey Evans, who found some Tuesday of this week. Now 1 what I'm interested in is to see who has the. first watermelon. 1 We've just got to keep up with the times.
