C, as sec»d date nuttier raider Jott of 4. 18711 MONDAY OCT. 30, 1939 Safety Education An accelerated movement for sa|fety education in grade and high schools in many parts of the country this Fall is re ported by Kenneth N. Beadle, education director of the National Conservation Bu reau, after his return from a series of acci dent iireventtion lectures in fourteen col leges and universities. “The high attendance at the lectures and courses gave proof of the greatly ex panded interest in safety education among the nation’s teachers,” Mr. Beadle said. “Supervisors and teachers told of plans for organizing junior safety councils, bicycle clubs and safety patrols to supplement the instruction their youngsters are getting in aafety classes. “Schools in increasing numbers are es tablishing driver education programs, in cluding road mstruction for high school classes wherever possible. A significant development is the addition of Massachu setts and New Hampshire to the roster of states which have adopted ‘Man and the Motor Car* as the textbook for use in their high school courses of instruction in street and highway safety. The list includes al so New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michi gan, Wisconsin, Oregon, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, North Dakota and Connecticut.” “Teachers and school heads everywhere ‘sold’ on the value of safety instruc tion as an aid to intelligent living,” Mr. Beadle added. “Only economic conditions keep some school system from widening their safety efforts. Meantime they are perfecting plans to launch balanced pro grams of accident prevention at the ear liest opportunity.” The Talents For this editorial we borrow one from the Sixth Grade News in the North Wil- kesboro schools: Once a rich man called three servants to him. He said, “I am going away and I don’t know when I shall come back, but I am going to give each of you some tal ents. I want you to use them and try to make more talents.” To the first one he gave five talents, to the second he gave three, and to the third he gave one. The master was gone a long while and when he returned he called bis three serv ants to him. The first one said, “Master, I have doubled my talents and here they are.” The master, answering him, said, see I can trust you and I will give you a higher position.” The second said, “Mas ter, I have doubled my talents and here they are.” The master answered him, “I see I can trust you also.” The third man came forward slowly, hanging his head in shame. “Master, I was afraid I would lose my talent, so I hid it. Here it is.” The master said, “I see I cannot trust you. You are fired.” Are we like the first and second man or are we like the third man? Are .ve using eveiy talent we have? If we are like the third man, let’s try to do our best in every thing and not be afraid to try when things seem hard. Letter To Drivers The following letter has been published throughout the country and perhaps has been in these columns before but at the re quest of readers here it is again: Dear Driver:—Today, my daughter who is seven years old started to school as usu- al—ehe wore a dark blue dress, with a white collar—she had on black shoes— and wore blue gloves—^her cocker spaniel, whose name is Coot, sat on the front porch mad whined his canine belief in the folly of education, as she waved goodbye, and started off to the hall of learning. Tonight, we talked about school—she told me about the girt who sits in front of - ^ her—4he girt with the yellow curls—and the boy aeroA the aisle—who makes fun- She t(rid me about her teacher— who has eyes in ihe back of her had~^d about the trees in the sebbol yard, and the big girl who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus. We talked about a lot. of ttogs—trenwn- doosly vttal, unimportant things-Hsnd men we studied spelling, reading, arithmetic— and then to bed. She’s back there nowi—back in the nur sery—sound asleep, with “Princess Eliza- beifc” (that’s a doll) cuddled in her right arm. You smys wouldn’t hurt her, would you? —^You see, Fm her daddy—-when her doll is broken—or her finger is cut—or her head gets bumped, I can fix it—but when she starts to school—when she walks across the street—^then she’s in your hands. She’s a nice kid—she can run like a deer, and darts about like a! chipmunk— she likes to ride horses, and swim, and, hike with me on Sunday afternoons.^ | But I can’t be with her all the time—^I, I have to work, to pay for her clothes and her education—^0 please help me look out for her—^Please drive slowly past the school and intersections—^and please re member that children run from behind parked cars. Please don’t run over my little girl. EVERY DADDY. Borrowed Comment GREATER NORTH WILKESBORO (Union Republican) We extend our hearty congratulations to “Greater North Wilkesboro.” We no tice that a new city directory has just come off the press and this book gives the tv'o Wilkesboros a combined population of 8,- 221. The book goes on to show that there are over 8,000 people living in North Wilkes boro, Wilkesboro and immediate environs, and approximately 12,000 live in a radius of four miles from that beautiful new city hall in North Wilkesboro. The federal census will not come until 1940 but it is believed that it will show even greater growth for that very fine sec tion ctf Piedmont North Carolina. In 1930 the population in North Wilkesboro was 3,668 and in Wilkesboro 1,042. We know of no community that is building more rapidly and yet substantial ly than the Wilkesboros. A fine, progres sive people, they are keeping fully abreast of every progressive movement that goes to make a good community. They are bringing into their environs those things which not only show increased census fig ures but show they are building well for the coming years. TURigEY MARKET , (Gastonia Gazette) While the market is not as good as it was last year, which was characterized as above the average, the turkey growers in this section will get a fair price for their birds, many of them, were assured last night in Clover, when a gathering of York county growers heard a representative of a well known and reputable Baltimore com mission house talk on the market and pro.spec1is for the holiday trade. He said the turkey grower in this section compared very favorably with those better known turkey areas, such as the Shenandoah val ley, the eastern shore of Virginia and else where. He commended the spirit of en terprise and pioneering on the part of the York countjy group of turkey raisers who were creating a new industry and making new source of income for themselves by launching this enterprise. n*n* Hill lii Wluhincton.—The tederal debt went oTer the $41,000,000,000 .mark- today, ibrlnglng the Treas ury within $4,000,000,000 of Its .borrowing limit. The dally Treasury statement disclosed the debt total had reached $41,023,872,434 as a re sult of a $61,055,8^0 Increase In one day due to. borrowing on short-term 'bills and to baiby bond sales. A year e^o, the debt was $38,424,932,769.77. The new peak caused a reTlyal of discussion In fiscal circles of how nnd when the administration should ask, as It has said it would do, Congress to boost the limit from the present $45,000,000,000 to $50,000,000,000.

Let’s take a look at the biggest user of machines, the automobile indus try, and see if this is true. Back in 1895 there were only four au tomobiles in the United Statjes. Those models were built by hand. .1 don’t know what it cost to build them that way but it has been estimated that to build a hand made model of a modem car would cost $6,000. How many of us could afford a car at that price? We wouldn’t keep very many people busy building them, would we? Back in 1910, before mass production hit its stride, an open four-cylinder Pack ard without a self-starter sold for $5,500. Today the eight-cylinder 1939 Packard sells for $1,295. There is no comparison in the 1910 and 1939 cars and yet the price is lower! Machines have given up better quality, more improvements, at lower prices. Today 92 per cent of all cars sell for less than $760. There are 25,449,942 care registered in the U. S. A. Building those cars means fork for thousands! Taking all industry, an authority esti mates that machines have replaced two million iden but because those machines have made products faster and better to sell for less, the mass demand has added three million workers. That’s a gain of a million workers! So the machine is our friend after all.—Morganton News-Her ald. EXECUTOR’S NOTICE Having qualified as Executor of the estate of Mrs. K.
