THURSDAY, DEC. 31, 1936 Who Is Unemployed? The discovery of shortage in skilled la bor leads one to realize something about tliis problem we call unemployment. In this age of fast progrress in industrial and trade lines much is expected of an em ploye. Industrialists tell us that good men are hard to find. Jhst what do we mean by good men ? Good men, that is, in the sense of being first rate workmen at their trades or professions, honest and up right, in all their dealings with others, in dependent and self-reliant, industrious and sober. The highest tribute one man can pay to another is to say that he is a good man. Of how many in any community can that be said? How many farmers are really good fanners? How many work ers in any trade can be relied upon to do an honest da5'’s work, and do everything as well as it can be done ? There is no surplus of really competent workers, in spite of all the talk about un employment. Good men are seldom with out a job and not for long. But many of those who are not really competent are incompetent through no fault of their own. Back in the boyhood days in the home and school adequate training was lacking. In the home it is quite possible that the parents failed to teach them that when working for some one that every$effort to do the job in the right manner should be put forth and that their time belonged to the employer between the hours when work begins and ends. On, the other hand there are un- scn’.-ulous employers who try to get work done for almost nothing, little realizing that the success of their endeavors de pends upon the amassed buying power of the people. Still another factor remains. Many of those on relief work projects are unable to do an honest day’s work because of physical inability. Still others are de ficient mentally and still many others are good men who have never been trained in the fundamentals of good workmanship and who have never been trained in any particular trade. The New Year Tomon’ow we begin a new year—1937. The old year has passed and is in that vast unknown we call eternity of the past. Its record is written and we can not change the writing thereon. It oppor tunities have passed not to be re-opened and it is sealed not to be broken. But a new year dawns with new hopes, new aspirations, new ambitions and new opportunities. Now' it matters not so much what the old year held. What each individual did is in the past but the new year is a clejm sheet upon which we will be able to write the record of our lives in the manner we wish to do it. Each year is one grand opportunity for accomplish ment and for improvement. None of us stand still, w'e either progress or fall back ward. The year nineteen hundred and thirty- seven will find individuals, companies or corporations progressing or receding. If we treat each day as the dawn of a new opportunity and accomplish all that lies reasonably within our power the path will be upward with progress. Mr. Roosevelt’s second term, as Presi dent will start on January 20th, six weeks less than four years since he was inaugu- ,rated on March 4, 1983. One effect of the Constitutional change in the date of Pres idential inaugimation is to put an end to the custom of great military parades with which Presidents have kmg been ushered in. Washington is sometimes springlike in hnt in January it is always wintry. But if we waste the days, which are opportunities, we will take the easy road to failure. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN THE SON OF GOD BECOMES MAN L««son for January 8rd. John 1:1-18. Golden Tr>xt: John 1:14. During the first quarter of the new year we shall be studying St. John’s gospel which Dr. Cadman called the greatest religious document ever written. Certainly It is the best loved book of the Biblo. John was the youngest of the twelve di sciples, and a beloved favorite of his Master. Strong and, deep in nature he was called a “son of thunder.” He stood with Jesus in the judgment hall; he was present at the Cross, wher© the Lord committed to him the care of Mary; he came first to the tomb on Easter Day, outrunning Peter; and was the first to recog nize the risen Lord ab the Sea et Tiberias. Later he became a venerable, lovable Christian leader in Ephesus. A beautiful story is told of John’s farewell to the Bpheelan brethren. Too old to walk, he was carried In the arms of his disciples Into the midst of their assembly, repeating con- tianally, “Little children, love one anothCT.” The Good News as written by John repre sents the loving recollections of an old man*re- calling vividly the overwhelming experiences of a youth spent In close friendship with the Lord of Life. Consider this gospel’s striking simplicity. Its sentences are generally short. John never argues. H© always affirms, and his affirma tions are couched In brief sentences, crisp and pointed. Note, too, how fond John is of symbols and allegory. The mlraclesj to him are signs and tokens of spiritual power. And just as reveal ing names are attached to the figarea crowd ing the canvas of Bunyan-s ; Immortal “Pil grim’s Progress,” so John attaches titles of. wondrous beauty to Jesus. He Is called the bread of life, the Gwd Shepherd, the dbor^ the vine. And there are eertin h]^>eallng words John ^ Dei^ On The Highyraj^ . While the yearis tally of automobflf dea^^^ not yet complete, the figures already available make it'clear that the record of 1936 is higher* than that of 1936. About 87,000 persons were killed, in motor accidents in the twelve months.1 This brings the total number of persons ! killed in America by motor cars, in the' 16 years since records began to be k^,| up to above 425,O0O. That is more by half than all of the Americans who have been killed in all our wars from the Revolu tion down to the Worid War. The motor car has become the nation’s deadliest weapon. With 2,000,000 more cars on the roads, we may expect even more hi^way deaths in 1987. 'Those who have given this subject the closest study agree that the blame for most of these motor killings lies not with the car nor the road, but with the driver. There are still twenty states in which no license is required to drive a car; in many others, the examination of drivers for licenses is so perfunctory that pos session of a driver’s license) is no proof that its owner is a good driver. 'The most dangerous place to drive is on a wide, well-paved highway on a clear day. ’That is where and when motorists gets careless. Sunday is the most dan gerous day in the week, Wednesday the safest. Twice as many persons are killed by cars between 7 and 8 o’clock in the evening as between 7 and 8 in the morn ing. ’The motor death rate in the cities is coming down, by reason of better lighting, more effective traffic control, and better enforcement of the traffic laws. ’The rate is going up in the country. It would take more money than the taxpayers would stand for to light and police a million miles of highway. The solution of the problem would seem to be the better education of drivers, not so much in the art of driving but in what might be called ‘teotor manners.” If every driver behaved on the road with the same consideration for others that he shows elsewhere, the toll of motor mur ders might be greatly reduced.

Chevrolet Tips On Cold Weather Starting The new American Ambassador to Rus sia, Joseph E. Davies, has shipped 2,000 pints of American cream, sterilized and packed in “dry ice,” to Moscow, for the use of his family and staff. He is also putting 25 American electric refrigerators into the Embassy building, and installing twelve modem bathrooms. In providing these examples of American standards of living, Mr. Davies may not only create a demand in Russia for American goods, but may be of real service in elevating Russia’s own standards of comfort. While th© proper maintenance of a car’s battery and electric sys tem will do much to assure quick starting in the winter months, there are also a few simple sug gestions which all drivers will find helpful, says a bulletin Issu ed this week by Chevrolet. “Remember,” says the bulletin, ‘‘that the battery has two func tions: one, to operate the starting motor, and two, to furnish the spark. The engine always turns over harder In cold weather, and unless the battery is In good con dition, there may not be enough Current left, while the starter Is operatlnj, to provide the neces sary spark. “Operation of the starter plac es a heavy load on the battery, and so every precaution should be taken to assure the quickest start once the starter Is depress ed. On© way of doing this is to turn th© engine over two or three times with the starter before switching on the Ignition. This preloads the combustion cham bers with gasoline mixture, and the engine usually starts th© mo ment the ignition is turned on “The throttle should be opened slIghFly throughout th© operation, but not far enough to make the engine race when it starts. “In cars with manually-operat ed choke. It Is an easy matter to find the precise point to which the cboko should be opened for winter starting. Once th© engine is started, close t h © choke slightly to prevent dilution of crankcase oil through admission of raw gasoline. “Never under any circumstanc es should the warm-up process be hurried by racing the engine. The reason for this Is tjiat lubri cants flow slowly when the en gine is cold, and they should have chance to warm up before the engine Is subjected to higher speeds.” ADMINISTRA'nUX NOTICE Having qualified as adminis tratrix of the estate of John Hol comb, deceased, late of Wilkes county, .North Carolina, this Is to notify all persons having claims against the estate of said deceas ed to exhibit them to the under signed at Bonham, N.
