C., November 14.—Dr. Tom Smith, of West field, has consented to favor I us with one of his able sermons |on Nov. 27th at 11 o'clock, it . being his 50th anniversary and I " we congratulate ourselves that j many of those who live at ! some of the churches near here I that he once served can join | us in meeting and shaking his I hand on this birthday occasion. Dr. Smith was born here and has never moved his home but 1 served the church along with medical practice. He served i two years at Indian Grove, two 1 years at Mt. Olive, Two years J at Flat Rock, two years at Red i Bank, two years at Antioch, I two years at Pilot Moun ' tain, three years at Woodville, and all his spare time at this church. It is due largely to his influence that there has ] been built up the best anil larg j est Baptist country church in I all this section of Surry and | Stokes and we trust that all j these former charges may i avail themselves of the oppor tunity to send a fe.v at least of their members to see what a splendid church can be built in a community dominated by good people and having a model christian living in their midst worthy of imitation. Dr. Smith often filled the former church J which held about 500 and the ; new church will hold 1,000. ! Let everybody that can b'j I with us come. It will do you j good to be here.

AUTO VICTIMS GROW FAST If Present Itate Continues 65.- 000 People Will Be Killed In Automobile Accidents in 1 937. Chicago, Nov. 15.—Within 1 10 years, at the present rate of 1 increase, this country will have 1 40,000,000 automobiles on its 1 highways, killing 65,000 per-! sons a year. Even now, nearly j' 70 persons are dying each day | from the auto accidents whoso: toll will approximate 25,000 j this year. It is this situation which serves as the chief worry for the National Safety council, now meeting here. And its dele gates find that serious as this problem is, the public is show-1 ing a strange lack of concern in , its solution. Yet men whose business it is! to discover ways to head off | the growing slaughter, advise that vast improvement is pos sible through a little planning. First, the national taxi own-1 ers, whose bread and butter is involved in holding down acci dents. say that stringent driv-' er licensing laws offer the prin- 1 cipal hope for betterment. Bv ( i requiring that drivers pass j tests before being licensed to! j handle a car on the highways, j j a chief source of accidents | j would be removed in their j J studied opinion. , Then engineers, offering their bit of advice, say that I highways should be widened, and that grades should be sep- j arated on busy thoroughfare ;. I both at intersections with rail- j roads and with other busy hign 1 ways. Railroad engineers re ply that it would cost twenty billions of dollars to separate | all railroad crossings when,' : highways intersect, but thev join in urging separation where 1 busy highways are involved. Next to engineering and li censing problems, the safety ; people stress education. Safety ! training now is starting i-i kindergarten and it is going on , through the eighth grade of elementary schools. It is be ing worked into the three It's reading, writing and arithme tic. Through this means. t is thought that people will be educated to become safety con scious. Besides this, a great deal de i pends on the automobiles them ; selves. Thorough testing of ! breaks should be made period j icallv, the safety men advise. ! Headlights should be proper'. ' adjusted and cars kept in good | mechanical condition. I Then uniform traffic laws, I planned from experience to [ conform to the best practice for safety are urged. There should be laws governing ped | estrians, the same as those ' governing cars. ; When all safety methods have been put into effect, states should have compulsory acci j dent compensation laws, so 1 safety men say, providing that any person injured in an au ! tomobile accident will be cared for properly and any depend - 1; ents provided for in case of i death. i 1 By systematic safety work and thorough study of the ' problem railroads in this coun ■ try have cut down their acci ; i dental deaths sharply in the j iast 15 years, in spite of in ,: creased traffic and the 126 per i cent increase in deaths at ' | highway crossings. TOBACCO SHORTAGE Based On Last Year's Con sumption 1!>27 Yield Will Be Short. Washington, Nov. ID.—A serious shortage in the pr» duction of most types of tobae co compared with consumption during the past year is indicat ed said the department of ag riculture today in the comment on preliminary forecast of 1, 190,357,000 pounds of tobacco this year. "The prospective production of burlev is 36 per cent less i than the amount actually con-; sumed during the year ending October 1, said the crop report- ; ing board. Speaking of production the board said yields are turning j out batter than was anticipated in several states, notably, North Carolina, where an av-1 erage of 692 pounds per acre is I reported. Tobacco yield is reported at 745 pounds per acre compar ed ' pounds, the five year average, said the report. i The average quality of crop is reported at 80.5 per cent compared with 80.1 in 192(5 and 81.1., the 10 year average. Thanksgiving. I There is an old legend that j every morning two angels leave I heaven for earth—one the l Angel of Petition and the other | the Angel of Thanksgiving, | each carrying a basket; and I that at night the Angel of | Petition returns with her bask jet heaped full and running over with petitions to the Al mighty for every human de sire, while the Angel of Thanksgiving returns with her I basket almost empty. Though a legend only, how true to human nature the story is! Blessings almost without end are poured out up- on us, individually and as a 1 nation; and yet how few. com paratively, in a spirit of pro found gratitude bow in humil ity and render heartfelt thanks! to God for His infinite mercies i and blessings. On Thanks- ! giving Day the golt' fields arc! crowded with eager players, and the forests and the fields, resound with the reverbera-1 tions of the hunters' horns or the crack of the shotgun: bin' our churches are but scantily tilled with those called by the i , President to attend their places I |of worship in a spirit of; i thanksgiving. Surely as nation we have j been the beneficaries of God's | great love, the recipients of; His bounty, as no other nation! in all the world. Do we appreciate these facts, and as a nation ami as . . ' individuals, in a true spirit 01 worship, render our thanksgiv-. ing to the Giver of every goo 1 and perfect gift, and joyfully sing. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."—Manufactur-, era Record. Stokes Men Tried In Federal Court Kelly and Georgie Sisk. of the Lawsonville community, were tried in Federal court at Winston-Salem last week on a charge of manufacturing whisky. Georgie was given a • sentence of two months in the ; Stokes jail, while Kelly was fined SIOO. I No. 2,89° TRAPPING RABBITS IS WITHIN THE LAW Old-Fashioned Rabbit Gum Will Ik- I sod Ry Youngsters This Year. Raleigh. Nov. Hl.—The tinv? honored »rl of trapping rail, bits with the old-fashioned bo. or gum, indulged in chiefly by young boys, is not prohibited under the new state-wide ganitf law, says an announcement to day by Wade H. Phillips, di rector of the department of conservation and development. Allowance for the continua tion of this sport, says the di rector, is made in the text of the law which allows trapping or hunting of the cottontail without gun at any time. "While the open season for hunting rabbits with a gun, is from November 1 to March 1 and there is no bag limit, the law makes a special provisk> in favor of the boys in the country who want to catch rab bits with the old-fashioned box. or gum at any time." Director Phillips has re ceived a number of inquiries from various parts of the State regarding the question of trap ping rabbits and this explana tion is made for the benefit of those who have a doubt in this respect. Reports from over the State are to the effect that the supply of the cottontail this year is plentiful and thai, numbers of hunters are indulg ing in the sport."
