Increased recklessness of auto motive drivers have made this meas ure necessary. Many there a*re who would turn thumbs down upon any candidate for a legislative seat who advocates such a measure, and have as their seem ingly legitimate excuse that it was “just another way to bleed the pub lic.” However, the motorists have no one to blame but themselves for this state of affairs, and it is for the pro tection of the sane drivers that the measure is needed. As a concrete example: A wreck in Brevard Sunday night caused con siderable damage to a car belonging to a summer resident. Blame for the accident was fixed by those who visit ed the scene upon a “mixture of al cohol and gasoline.’’ Incidentally, dri ver of the offending vehicle MA\ be able to pay a part of the damage in the somewhat distant future, and perhaps nothing. Consequently, if the offending driver’s friends are un able to dig up the cash, the innocent victim will be out the use of his car for several days and then have to take care of the repair bill. Ilad a compulsory indemnity insui anco been required when license tor this particular car was purchased, it is very probable that the driver would have left the car in the shed or bet ter still, sold it to someone who would have used saner tactics in driv ing. Had he been able to carry the ■ ndwiiinity insurance, and the wreck occurred as it did, then the driver of the car who suffered blunt of the accident would have been more than repaid for the expense he would have been put to in purchasing indemnity insurance with his license. Then too, if there were inserted in the law a clause whereby reckless driving, or driving under the influence of .. . 11 .. ..i__ VOt'nVp wnisKcy, w-um - a driver’s license, taking away his right to drive a car and at the same time confiscating his indemnity in surance fee, it is quite probable that the wreck which happened in Brevard Sunday night would have been avert ed. We hate to think of an increased tax or license burden being placed upon the people, but there must be drastic steps taken to curb the recklessness that prevails. TOO MI CH OF .4 GOOD 7 MSG Associated Pi ess reports from Spartanburg. S. C., seem to indicate that good old Uncle Sam has given his dear children entirely too much of a good thing. It seems tnat the Spartanburg sector has been well blessed with I’W A, C\V A and other A’s until there is iu semblance of initiative left in the recipients of the good uncle’s bounty. Judge from the news item taken from The Greenville Piedmont of last Saturday under a Spartanburg date line: W. B. Poole, superintendent of_ a paving project on Highway No. 176, announced that be could employ 150 men at 30 cents an hour under the federal program. He found no takers on the labor market Applying to relief headquarters for 75 willing workers, Poole was told there were none available. Farmers of the county reported meanwhile that men they had hired to chon grass from their cotton fields at $1 a day quit after the first day’s woi k. “What Will the Next Legislature Do?” asks a headline in The State ....gosh! whoopee! hoop-la! Wonder what it will do, sure enough? Boxing commission ’lowed that neither Baer nor Carner was in shape to fight last Thursday night, but seems to u; they were in pretty good -hape to draw a crowd—witness the half million dollar gate receipt. Two convicts at the Louisiana state prison fled when two hundred legislators visited them en masse.. . .that would be enough to make most anybody run. Well, what kind of a motor boat would you prefer? A built in or out board motor style? I - " KIND WORDS MAKS DIFFERENCE SOMETIMES One reason why a newspaper keeps on trying to do its very best, give its readers as much news as possible, and live up to a standard instead of down to the minimum are just such letters as the one below, together with nice words that come along every so often from appreciative friends: Editor The Times, Please find enclosed check for 51.W for which you will please move up my subscription to July 1st, 1936. You are giving us a good paper at a very cheap price. 1 am getting two daily papers and three weekly papers and I consider The Times one of the best that comes in our home, and, too, * like your paper because it is publish ed in North Carolina and in Traasyl vania county where I spent my child hood days.

For nothing dims the ardor of this youth ful veteran for the motor racing game. Discussing his victory after the race, Cummings said: “Thirty-three drivers ftrirted the Indianapolis Classic this year... .scorching the bricks over that two and one half mile track. For 200 grueling laps nearly five hours or it, we kept up the blistering pace. I had to average 104.863 miles an hour, the new world’s record for the 600.... some times hitting it up to over two mlies a minute.... .to win. Four hours and 46 minutes of this wrings the vitality out of a man and you can bet that I felt pretty well played out at the end of the race.” Cummings’ first request after the race for a Camel. “Any time I’m all in,” he explained^ “Camels give me a ‘lift’ in energy. I smoke them steadily.” In view of the known preference for Camels of champions in various fields of sport ,sueh as Cummings, Elhworth Vines Jr., Bill Horn, win ner of the Gold Cup Speedboat event, Miss Helene Madison, Olympic cham pion swimmer and holder of many world swimming records, and others whose endurance and energy' is con stantly tested to the limit, Camel ad vertising now stresses the ‘ energiz ing effect” in Camels which has been experienced by millions of smokers and recently com firmed by scientific studies carried out in a famous New York research laboratory.
