A Coiner of Phrases Cieneral Hugh Johnson, as NRA adminis- tNitoir, has been in the public print consider- aUy ahd doubtless has won lasting fame as a coiner of Teases. The most recent expres- idon which attracted attention was his “cor porals of disaster” which phrase he pinned cn those who have attacked ^e NRA. Students of English are offered the fol lowing extracts from Johnson’s Atlanta 4>e^: "You hear nowadays a growling because prosperity has not come over night...

Governor Ehringhous’ pronouncement anent the matter of safety osL the highways is to be taken seriously. When this was written, the exact figures on the accident victims for 1933 were not avail able and it will probably be several days be fore the total is known, but it is generally known that North Carolina has been killing at an unprecedented rate during the twelve months just past. Frankly, we are unable to offer any solu tion. All we can do is to reiterate the Gov ernor’s appeal for greater caution. We know that this unprecedented loss of life from au tomobile accidents is unnecessary. We know that motorists, if they were willing to exer cise a little caution and sacrifice a little eed, could completely change the picture diiring the year aliead. All these things are known. There isn’t any doubt. But how to get them to exercise caution is a problem that the best, minds have failed to solve.' The Journal-Patriot reminds its readers of the ^palling total of accident victims. We iq>peal to the citizens of Wilkes to make Hiis a safe year upon the highways. We ap peal to those who drink liquor, to stay from :behind the steering-wheel of an automobile when they are drinking. vVe appeal to spikes drivers to exercise ordinary caution ^th as to speed and signals.

In that Rose Bowl, two great squads are giv ing the best they have for their coaches, for the universities they love and cherish and for the sections of the country they rep^ sent They will give no less than the best. Too much is at stake for them to contemplate a middle course. Can’t you see the boys grit their teeth and put their whole souls into each play? Can’t you visualize the quarterback endeavormg to call the ■winning play and barking the sign als with a confidence that inspires? Can’t you see tiie boys on the sidelines, the re serves who are necessary to every squad, urging their teammates onward and aching to get into the battle? If you are football nthusiast to the ex tent that you can place yourself in the posi tion of these boys, you will understand the spirit in which you ^ould enter upon the New Year. Today we start a new game. “First down and twelve to go,” the Great Headslinesman is telling us. The New Year doesn’t give promise of be ing a cinch. We must give our best to it if ■we expect the best in return. They are no reserves in the Great Game of life. The spirit of our forefathers calls upon each of us for a new manifestation of zeal and cour age. Let us respond to that call, starting to day. It matters little in the long run who wins the Rose Bowl classic today. It matters much, however, how we play the game dur ing the next twelve months. We like a New Year. The score may have been against us last year, but today we start even again. The timekeeper’s gun has signal ed the beginning of a new game. Nothing has yet been written by the Great Score- keeper and the space opposite our names is still white. We alone can determine what will be written there. Nationally speaking, the outlook is bright. It is a hopeful New Year and may we wish to each and every one of our subscribers thfi( best and happiest twelve months of their lives. Borrowed Comment DOUGHTON’S ASCENDENCY (Charlotte Observer) (Congressman Bob Doughton, of North Carolina, after years of service in the House, is making fast progress to the top of the ladder. His appointment to charimanship of the Ways and Means Commit- j tee was significant of his rc.sourcefulness in Con- j gress, and now another advancement is in store for j him. The Washington correspondent of The New York Journal of Commerce reports that although j Doughton is not a candidate for the place, he is un der consideration by President Roosevelt for ap pointment to the Tariff Commission. He deserves this post all the more because he has not sought it. It is stated in The Journal of Commerce report that Mr. Doughton was recently called to the. White House where, it is said, he was informed of this fact. He has indicated that he would prefer to remain in Congress where he is chairman of the ^ House Ways and Means Committee, but if “draft ed” by Mr. Roosevelt he could hardly turn down the proffer of the suggested appointment. There are two Democratic vacancies on the Com mission. Both political and economic difficulties to the selection of appointees have presented them selves. There would be no political opposition to the j Doughton appointment, if made, and he would car- ^ ry to the Comriiission his experience of a number of years of service on the Ways and Means Com-* mittee. Mr. Doughton's successor as chairman of the Committee would be Representative Hill, of Wash ington, a very aggressive member who has been ac tive in mapping the tax program for the next ses sion of Congress. Doughton is one North Carolina Congressman who has never experienced any trou ble in securing re-election and it is the gfood sense of the people of his district that has established at the National Capitol a Congressman of recognized ' influence and prestige. eburefres.
