Superior Court Judge of the eighth judi-/''' (ivl district, when the newly elected/115 Brunswick county officers were sworn in bjChim here in (he courthouse on Mon-/'1' dHi', December 7. J wo weeks previously two Brunswick 101 county white men, respectable citizens of their home community, were kidnapped ex by*-a band of men, carried over the Co-,*5' lumbus county line and were flogged.,0'1 Despite the fact that one of the men was i011 able to furnish at least .two clues that *a' mjght lead to the identification of mem- ('a bers of the band, no warrants have been Jo' issued. ha Our Brunswick county officers have a 011 chance to do what otticers ot neighbor- j inj counties have been unable to do? lning members of this self-righteous band 110 of~disciplinarians to justice. If the acti- ?u vities of these night riders are not soon curbed, there is little telling what realm 1,1 of~justice will next be invaded by them.! ' m: T4te Right Idea ~ j c^' ?)ne constructive effort now in progress in^Southpoi-t is that being carried on by WrB. Keziah, executive secretary of the ?|l Civic Club, who is boarding all yachts', which stop here and requesting the captafns or owners to sign a petition to have be a '.small coast guard cutter stationed at ;*ir Soflthport. ou & report of these efforts is spreading, for this week there came a letter from a former Southport boy, George W. Rappe- St lyea, saying that boat-owners from as far u pi the coast as Baltimore, Md., were in- ^ teffisted in having a cutter stationed here. Tlreir interest lies chiefly in the protection sij of -the hundreds of pleasure craft which "E [ pass through semi-annually on their th round-trip from Northern cities to Flori- en dal' \fu In this same connection is the matter of paving a yacht basin at Southport qi wlftch would afford mooring space fori yaehts desiring to remain over here for a few.days. Steps already have been star- m te<? to ask the U. S. Army Engineers to ( do-tthis work. E is obvious that with^such accommo- g( 1.

They 'er much in the way of improvements d gadgets. Their, power plants ^deliver ggering performance?you cani- push ? throttle clown and run up to eighty or let.v m. p. h. without trouble?so far as 1 mechanics of your car are concerned. However, the emphasis placed on speed s been productive of one of the gravest tional "troubles" America has^known the growing accident toll. Andjft.h'e drir who thinks that seventy is 'safe lieuse it seems as slow as thiuy used to, oitld think again. Silent engine performance won't help we encounter a cement guard*rail at ftv speed. Effortless steering won't ike a head-on crash less destructive, ck of vibration won't help the underker patch us together after tMrtwreckr crew gets-the body out with* blow ches. But these modern cars are magnificent amples of safety - engineering?blueint safety. Brakes stop a hurtlhfg maine in amazingly short distance, witht sway or shock. All steel bodies -will i ke a lot of punishment without; serious mage. Steering mechanisms are^next to ol proof. And the tire manufacturers ve done their bit by reducing the blowt hazard to a minimum. Yet each year's safety improvements ve been followed by more accidents, t fewer accidents?and by more seris accidents, not less severe accidents, hy? Because we, the motoring, public, ve overestimated the safety factor of e new cars, just as we have overesti ited the safety factor of wider, 'better rfaced highways. The cars and the ads are improved?and so we take the ances that lead to disaster. The new, super-performing cars are t. Maybe you are lucky enough to be le to buy one.

Southport, N. C. Dear Editor: The Welfare Department naturally knows more about suffering in the eounty than some other county departments, and at this time of the year we feel it is our duty to let the people of the county know something of the conditions as we have seen them. Recently in many counties, particularly in those counties: where there are large cities, j Community Chests have been organized and money raised to take, care of the needs of people who cannot take care of themselves. In some" of these cities, organi-1 zed associated charities are functioning all the year around, securing money for their work from individuals who make a practice of giving money for charity in ( this fashion. In this county we have no agencies of this sort, and therefore, the people look to1 the Welfare Department for every deed. Since the close of Federal Relief, in which direct relief was gh n h the form of :food. clothing and medical attention, we have been faced with a problem which cannot be solved by us alone. We operate on a [budget prepared under the law, and what money is spent must come from taxes paid by the i 'people or" the county. It is obvilous, therefore, that there is not i-nOugh moifey available to take .care of? the. situation as it was 'cared for bv the Federal Governi merit in its Federal Relief Proi gram. So at this time of the year when people have the spirit of Christmas in their hearts, we call on those people of the county who have the resources, to look about them a bit, and in the spirit ".of this holiday help 'their neighbors who are less for| tunate. There are many families in the county whose children will I not receive a visit from Santa Claus unless somebody who is more fortunate will come to their rescue. It will be a fine thing if a large number of our people will play Santa Claus to their unfortunate neighbors, and we hope they will take advantage of this opportunity to make sad hearts happier. We wish to acknowledge receipt of a number of Items of clothing donated by Mrs. Williarm S. Dosher, of Southport. Sincerely, FRANK M. SASSER, Supt. Public Welfare.

Carolina People Need Good Books F.vsry Farm Familv In This State ShoulH H?q^e Local Access To Good- Library, According To' Dr. Frank Graham Every farm family in. the State should have local access to a good library, in the opinion of Dr. Frank P. Graham, president | of the University of North Carolina. Speaking last we^kji^t the annual conference of thefState College extension service,' Dr. Graham urged extension workers to do all they can to help establish county wide libraries. | Already 14 counties have made | provision for bringing good books within reach of farm'people, he stated, but the work has just begur It is estimated that at the present time 1,900,000 North Carolinians do not have ready access to libraries. Most of these are rural people. Good books can do a great deal to raise the standard of living in rural North Carolina, Dr. Graham pointed out; one book may influence the entire life of an individual, or the destiny of a nation. A manuscript that fell into the hands of Christopher Columbus set him to thinking and finally led to the discovery of America. Another speaker at the conference, Col. J. W. Harrelson, dean of administration at State College, pointed to the need for more agricultural research. Even today, with all the advancement that has been made, i he said, there is still an appalling waste, inefficiency, and loss of : labor in agriculture for the lack of better knowledge regarding the control of plant diseases,and the production of farm commodities. J. B. Hutson, assistant national administrator of the AAA said that by interpreting the acts of Congress, in the light of the thinking of the farmers, the 1937 soil-conservation program has been designed to meet their : wishes as far as possible. The object of the program is i to increase farm income by building up the soil and conserving it for its fullest economic use and by eliminating wide fluctuations in the production and the prices of agricultural commodities, M stated.
