Vining, Editor Vol. 13. Est. 1-31-28 UNITED FRONT IN TRYON Since the smoke of the election has dispersed, all our leading > statesmen, and even many of the politicians are calling on the coun try for unity of action. The Red Cross Roll Call with its wide and impersonal appeal, comes at the right moment to emphasize this spirit; while Thanksgiving with its two dates gives us a week in which to count our blessings and take stock of what it is that really unites us. It is becoming daily more clear that all the things we hold most dear and sacred are being lost by hopeless and dispairing na tions, who a little more than a year ago were as happy and pros perous as ourselves. Those who are still fighting and dying for the great principles of freedom must have every form of help we can give them. All we can do is not enough! In this purpose and determina tion Tryon seems united. There is no “party of the opposition”. We present—with all due modesty—a heartening example of unity in diversity—the majority of us are working in “three shifts” to help Britain WIN THIS WAR. And once more we can say “THE AL LIES,” for the gallant Greeks are still ho’ding their own, tho they are asking for our help. Our Canteen Fund is almost over the top.

T. Stimpson is the direc tor.' The increase registered in October, 1940, was 30. Aside from deaths due to automobile accidents, there were 15 accidental drown ings last month, as compared with only 3 during the same period a year ago, while railroad accidents not associated with highway traffic took a toll of 7, against 4 a year ago. Also, there were two air transportation fatalities this year, as compared with none for the corresponding period ,in 1939, it was pointed out. So far, for the entire year, the death toll in North Carolina from preventable accidents totals 1,196 out of 26,393 deaths from all causes. In other words, those dying from preventable accidents constitute more than four and a half per cent of those dying from all causes. This does not include those who have died from diphth eria and other preventable diseas es. There was a sharp decline in the number of births reported last month, as compared with figures for the previous October.
