THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1937 Claims and Counterclaims Those who are jubilant over repeal of national prohibition proudly point to records of arrests for drunken driving in a number of states, particularly New York, where they saw fewer arrests are being made for drunken driving than 'during the prohibition era. Meanwhile the United States News, a publication which is considered unbias ed on the liquor question, comes out with a front page feature headed "High way Toll of Dead and Injured, Caused by Drink, Doubles in Three Years.” In 1933 the publication said 22,943 were killed or injured in accidents where li quor had a part and in 1936 the num ber had jumped to 47,828 killed or in jured. As information for study we quote the following from the United ^^ates News: The number of persons killed or injured in the tTnibed States in automobile accidents In- Tolvlng drivers who had been drinking, doubl ed between 1933 and 1936. In the same period the number of pedeatrians under the influence of liquor, who were killed end injured in traffic accidents, also more than doubled. All automobile accident deaths and injuries, excluding those in which drinking is known to have been a factor, showed an 11.5 per cent increase from 1933 to 1936. Those figures, traffic experts explain, mean that proportionately there was nine times as large an Increase in the numiber of traffic fa talities and injuries involving pedestrians and motorists who had been drinking as in the casualties involving pedestrians and motorists who did not drink. The pictogram above, based on the records of a broad spread of official State reports, shows that the number of motor vehicle cas ualties from accidents in which drinking was a factor, increased from 22,943 in 1933 to 35,- 56.3 in 1934, an increase of more than one- half. The number of deaths and injuries de clined slightly in 1935 and then advanced again in 1936, rising to a total of 47,828. How great a proportion of all automobile ac cidents is included in the “had-been-drinking" accidents? Of all drivers in 1936 fatal accidents, 7.3 per cent had been drinking. Of all drivers in non-fatal accidents, 4 3 per cent had been drinking. Even wor.se is the record of pedestrians. One out of nine pedestrians killed in 1936 was under tho influence of liquor. And 5.3 per ce.’t of the pedestrians injured had been drink ing. Because of the wide variation in the State reports and the lack ef adequate scientific tests to determine the number of drinking drivers who were in accidents, most traffiic authorities believe that these figures considerably under estimate the true situation. The National Safety Council (.oncluies on the basis of the available figures that the “in fluence of alcohol On traffic accidents has in creased tremendously following the repeal of prohibition.’’ On the other hand, official figures compiled by Kepeal Associates covering the State of hfow York, show thet there has been a decline in arrests for drunken driving in that State since repeal. The National Safety Council contends that the available data, although scanty, is suf ficient basis for concluding that “the use of alcohol is a major, rather than a minor, fac tor in traffic accident causation.’’ A disproportionate large number of the acci dents in whloh liquor is a factor end in death or serious injury. While in the total of motor vehicle acci dents there is an average of 35 injuries to each fatality, in accidents where the driver had been drinking there is one fatality for each 11 injuries. In all pedestrian accidents there are about 20 injuries for each fatality but in cases wheree the pedestrian had been drinking there is one death for each nine injuries. While conscientious persons may dis agree as to whether liquor should be legally obtainable, no one can take a stand for liquor itself. It has no virtues, no benefits, no profits to balance with its devastation and destruction, no heal ing qualities and to make a long stor short it is absolutely worse than “no good." ■ Therefore the moral and civic dut’- upon^'every home, every school and “^eve/y chWch to fSiow up liquor in i‘ true light «nd wwthlessaess. Lkbw V Reipomibililyi .-The necessity for making organised labor equally responsible gwith organ ized capital, when the Issue is joined h®* twwn them, becomes more apparent from day to day as labor disturbances accompanied by violence continue. It is a situation which comes periliously close to mob rule, when groups who pur port to speak for labor demand that ev ery possible legal restraint be placed upon employers, but that no legal au thority be exerted against the employ ees, however lawless their acts may be. Liberty for the individual or for groups has never meant any such one sided arrangement as that. It is a long- established and well-understood princi ple that the freedom of the individual is limited by his respect for the rights of others, and that every citizen is respon sible for the consequences of his own acts. The same rule surely applies to groups or organizations. It is difficult to understand the objec tions voiced by labor leaders to the pro posal that their organizations should be incorporated, should submit their finan cial records to official public inspection, and should maintain a reserve which would make them financially as well as morally responsible for breach of con tract or lawless destruction of property. Their reluctance to accept such a pro gram gives inevitable rise to the suspi cion that their real motives are not what they publicy profess to be. Ten Rules For A Long Life If you would live to a ripe old age, here are ten rules given by Hygeia on how to live 100 years: 1. Breathe fresh air, both day and night. 2. Exercice your larger muscles regu larly every day. 3. Look on overfatigue as your ene my, and on rest as your friend. Take at least eight hours of sleep. (The voice of wisdom says one should turn off the radio at 10.) 4. Drink plenty of water at meals and also between meals. 5. Eat temperately, partaking of veg etables and fruit for “roughage” and health’s sake, and sparingly of meat and sugar. Avoid overweight. 6. Have regular bowel habits. 7. Avoid infection from both outside and inside sources. Make a thorough recovery from colds and sore throat. 8. Wash your hands before eating. (That the teeth are to be cleaned night and morning is taken for granted). 9. Think wholesome thoughts. Face unpleasant situations frankly and sensi bly, and don’t worry. Keep your play spirit. 10. Have a health examination by your physician each year; ask his advice and follow it. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHi»JtLES E. DUNN GOD PREPARES A PEOPLE Les-son for July 2.’>tli. Exodus 12:21-28. Golden Text: Dent. 7:0. To understand the O'd Testament we must study carefully the history out of which it came. For the nation and its destiny looms large in the Old Testaanent. To get the full flavor of this national spirit we must turn to the writings of the prophets. For the prophet was a close student of the politics of his day. His message was determined to a large degree ■by the circumstances in which he found him self. “Out of them,” writes one commentator, “he read the will of God and in them he saw the hand of God at work.” Thus the prophets were' convinced that the long pilgrimage of the Jewish commonwealth, with all of its ups and downs, was essentially sacred. They loved to dwell on the covenant between God and Israel, the redemption from Egyptian serfdom, the divine guidance through the wilderness, and thee overthrow of the b®**- then in Canaan. Carlyle once said that the Bible of every nation is its history.” This is peculiarly true of the Hebrew folk. Intensely patriotic, their his tory meant everything to them. It is no wonder then that their Bible is soaked with a vivid national feeling. Our lesson text is a reminder of this striking emphasis. It deals with the institution of the historic Passover Festival which the Jews have always associated with the Exodus from Egypt, and which they still observe. Note that the Passover lamb was orig inally sacrificed and the blocd sprinkled on tho doorposts by each head of a family, for there was no tabernacle and no order of priests. To Christians the crucifixion of our Master ■•’'fills all that is slgnlflod *y th® Jewish Pass- '"'or. "Ji'or yon are free from the old leayen,” wrote Paul to the church at Corinth. “Ohrlat -"jr paschal Iamb has been sacrificed.” As God '•vAd His peonle from their slavery under “haraob, eo Christ, by 'hte deatli, reedeemed his foUowera from splribaal bondage. ‘ Fancy breadsmd 'tolls alvrefis are greeted with cheers whether they appear in the picnic basket or on the luncheon or tea .tdile, so the summer hostess who masters the ait of making these goodies may rest i nthe assurance of being prepared for impromptu snacks. Quick breads and refrigerator rolls come in the category of sum mer shortcuts because they ^kte distinctly labor saving foods. Tliey are easy to make and give a huge return for the time and effort spent in making them. Whenever bread-stuffs are to take an important part in meals it’s quite necessary to keep in mind their food value. All breads are energy foods because their" chief ingredient—^flour—^is of the high caloric value. The yeast breads are good sources of vitamin B, but the quick breads made with eggs, milk, molasses, fruits and nuts add mineral salts and addi tional calories. Frequently a raisin or nut bread takes the place of cake or other sweet in a luncheon menu. A veg etable salad accompanied by raison bread sandwislies and followed by a dessert of fresh fruit is indeed adequate and no one notices the lack of cookies or cakes. Children and adults who are too thin find these breads an excel lent means of increasing the calor ies in their diets since an extra amount of butter can be carried most appetizingly by the slices of bread. 0 0 0 Brown Bread One egg, 1 1-2 teaspoons salt, 1-3 cup granulated sugar, 1-2 cup molasses, 2 1-2 cups graham flour, 1-2 cup commeal, 1 cup white flour, 2 cups buttermilk or sour milk, 2 teaspoons soda, 1 cup of seeded raisins. Beat egg until light •with sugar and salt. Add molasses and mix well. Mix raisins with white flour. Add graham flour and commeal to first mixture and add one cup of sour milk. Mix thoroughly. Add soda to remaining sour milk and add to first mixture. Add floured raisins and beat hard for a few seconds. Turn into oiled and floured pans and bake 60 minutes in a moderately hot oven (376 de grees F.) This bread makes delicious sand wiches filled with cream cheese, 0 0 0 To prevent a chicken from be coming black and 'sinoked daring singeing, hold it over plain wrap ping paper. 0 0 0 Interior decorators are using electric switch plates to harmonize with draperies or the tone of the room. Almost every color of the spectrum as well as transparent can be had—so it’s very easy to carry out the color scheme of any room to the last detail. Fabrics to match or blend with the draper ies are placed beneath the trans parent plates so that their pat tern shows through most effective ly. A piece of the material left from making summer slip-overs placed under the plate pulls the furniture and walls of the loom together -with striking effect. 0 0 0 After you’ve given the porch its last'coat rf'pl&t fotr I the seaifrni^ boil the brisUes of tte paint brush in vinegar b^qre put ting it away. This will ‘femove every trace paint and the tmish will be like new. Sven brushes which have^. been badly neglected and are fiU^ with'^ed paint can be cleaned and made soft aiid us able by this treatment. BoU Weevils Attack " State’s Cotton Crop Reports of heavy boll weevil infestations in the cotton v fields of piedmont and sastem North Carolina are reaching J. O. Row ell, extension entomologiat at State College. Recent warm, damp weather has been highly favorable to the propagation of this insect, he said, and if the weather conttnnee thus, serious losses will be suf fered. According to the reports, the degree of infestation ranges from 10 to 80 per cent of the squares and bolls la different counties, while a few counties reiport hut little infestation so far. 'The best method of control, Rowell stated, is to keep a close watch and start dusting as soon, as ten per cent of the squares on { the stalks show signs of weevils. Squares on the ground are not I a reliable indicator, he added, as they show the degree of infesta-- tion several days before, but not on the day the examination Is made. | 'The dusting «nay be done with either calcium arsenate or a mix-! ture of calcium arsenate with an * equal amount of lime. The lat ter dust is cheaper and adds less arsenic to the soil. The dustlng.should he repeated every week or so as long as 10 per cent of the squares appear to | be Infested. In years of heavy in- ■ feetation, Rowell said, the dust-| ing should be continued through August and until the cn>p has been made, or as long as neces sary to eradicate the weevils. rSAI Uadsr and by vuios of the pow er of sale contained in a certain Deei^bf Trust %dceen(|»d on the lltti day of Angnst 1984, by and be tween W.
