I.KAHS IN HEATHS By PARKS ALEXANDER State Highway Patrolman On a National Radio Broadcast last Thursday night, in referring to Armistice Day celebration, Lionel Barrymore, who is one of the world's greatest actors, said: "Lord, let every day be Armistice." And in my humble way, I would like to add, "And let every day be a Drive Safe Day." There were only 34 North Carolinians killed per month in the World War. and there were 82 kill ed per month last year on our fine North Carolina highways. On the basis of gasoline consumption, North Carolina stands first in the Union with the highest automobile death rate. We are fast dyeing the white pavement of our highways red?red with the blood of hundreds of our citizens. The cost of these accidents in dollars and cents is tremendous. The economic loss in this state, last year, including property damage, hospital and doctors' bills, and decreased earning capacity was estimated at 30 million dollars. This means that automobile accidents this yeaar will cost North Carolinians one and a half times as much as the entire amount spent for the support of the whole statewide eight-months term of our public school system (government fig| ures). Wouldn't it be better to drive safely and save this tremendous cost in life and property? Eighty per cent of cars involved in wrecks are passenger cars and 70 per cent of these wrecks are caused by excessive speed. Can you imagine any thing being as dreadful as I being trapped in a wrecked burning automobile, as was witnessed near Oxford last week. Speed was the reported cause of this accident. Believe it or not, 60 per cent of accidents occur on straight roads in sunshiny weather. 56 per cent of wrecks are in day time and only 44 per cent at night. Always see that your brakes, horn, lights", (Continued on page 8) Graham Gridders Lose To South Hill The local John Graham football team invaded Virginia last Friday to play the heaviest team they have met this season. The first quarter was dominated by South Hill's line smashes. The Virginians set themselves in position to score with a first down on Warrenton's six yard (line soon after the second quarter opened. On the fourth down, South Hill had not scored, but was given nVinnno o e \XTo rronf nn WAM ! UI1C 1I1U1C VllClliOX- CM TTUCCV1.VVU .. off-sides on the play. The team plunged over from the one foot line to score and then made the extra point. The Warrenton boys, with a never-say-die spirit, returned South Hill's kick-off to the forty yard line and began a series of line smashes featuring Mac Aycock and end runs by Horse Williams that netted eight yards on every play. In short order Warrenton had the ball on South Hill's 12 yard line. A pass from Harmon to Capt. Miles resulted in the Warrenton tally. During the second half Warrenton threatened several times to cross South Hill's goal line but each time they were held by the heavy South Hill line.

It requires from fifteen to thirty seconds, it was stated, for the wheel in the siren to pick up sufficient J momentum to carry the noise from one end of town to the other and for this reason some persons have | thougt the system out of order when they hurried to one of the boxes, pushed the switch in and 1 failed to hear the alarm time they touched the button. The button I should be pushed in and held for at ' least thirty seconds, it was stated. ' All the signal boxes of the town ' were tested Tuesday afternoon as a result of the fire at the home of ! C. R. Rodwell on Sunday night i when it was reported that several > of the alarm boxes failed to work. They were all found to be working , i properly when the test was made, | which fact led those making the II check to the conclusion that the | trouble was not in the boxes but that tnose wno arrempiea 11> use them at the time of the fire failed to hold the button long enough. 1 The alarm box at the Pete Reavis corner, which short-circuited a few months ago and resulted in a false I alarm, has been repaired, it was re' ported.

In a public appeal to all citizens of the county, the welfare officer pointed out that there are a number of pathetic cases in the county needing med'"al care at present and stated that if funds are made available for. the hospitalization of these patients that the operations required may be secured free of chargePrior to launching the drive for money, and also clothes, the Warren County Council of Social Agencies held a meeting in the court house at which gathered Mrs. W. B. Aycock and a number of other persons gave interesting and inr structive talks. Following is a copy of a letter which went out from Miss Leach's office several days ago calling attention to the drive: "In the Public Assistance Program there is no money for hospitalization or medical care of the indigent. Furtheremre, the county commissioners are not willing or able to pay medical attention to all needy cases. So it is the responsibility of the interested citizens to see that these people do not suffer. "Hospitals now are willing to have operations performed on indigent free of charge, but they absolutely refuse to accept any indigent patient unless the county or some organization becomes responsible for the hospitalization of these mtients. So that Duts the resDon sibility on the Welfare Department ?who, in turn, will put this responsibility back on the County Chairman of Welfare work and interested citizens of the county. .

Their new quarters are in a building which is modern in every respect, and affords private offices for both the senior and junior member of the firm, as well as a waiting room and a waiting hallway. The building is located on a part of the side where Miss Effie Ellington's millinery store stood for many years prior to the destruction by fire of the old Taylor build I ing on the corner several years ago. The lot was purchased some time | ago and the building was completed this week. C. R. Rodwell Is Reported Improving C. R. Rodwell, a member of the firm of J. M. Gardner & Co., and secretary-treasurer of the Warrenton Railroad Company, is recovering at his home here from a heart attack which he suffered on Monday night when he and Mrs- Rod well got out of their car and started to the picture show. Reports yesterday were that he was resting very well and that he was thought to be gradually improving. Charles Ray Rodwell Jr., who was summoned here from his home in New York City Monday night, arrived here early Tuesday morning and has been spending this week with his father. He will probably return to New York Saturday or Sunday. Local Golfers Attend Pinehurst Matches Eddie Riccobonni, golf pro at the | local course, has been spending several days this week at Pinehurst where the Mid-South best-ball tournament has been underway.

The markets in the Middle Belt are closing earlier this year than customary due to the fact that tfe crop was early and practically all of the weed will have been disposed of by the time the markets usually shut doyn for the holidays. As a general thing the warehouses in this belt remain open for some time after Christmas, although the offering is usually light after the first of the year. Sales on the floors of the local warehouses are about equal in volumn to those of last year on a similar date, it was stated yesterday afternoon by one of the warehousemen, but from now on they are expected to fall off some in comparison with last year for December. The Warrenton market will close following sales Wednesday for the Thanksgiving holidays, re-opening on Monday morning. Garage Burns As Signaler Delays In Proper Alarm Push Fire of undetermined orign destroyed the garage of C. R. Rodwell on Sunday night around 7:15 o'clock. Trouble in getting the recently installed alarm signal to start the siren shrieking delayed the arrival of the firemen until too late to save the buildine and caused erave con cern for the safety of Mr. RodweU's home, which is located only a short distance from where the garage stood, but the residence escaped undamaged. Failure of the alarm to sound when two or three of the automatic switches were tried immediately after the fire was discovered is believed to have been caused by failure to hold the switches long enough after they were pushed in. A check-up on the new system Tuesday revealed that all of the signal boxes of the town are working properly, which fact led an electrician and others familiar with the alarming apparatus to express the view that the person or persons who pushed in the switches at the boxes took their hands off the buttons almost instantly when they failed to hear the siren sound and consequently thought they were out of order. Between fifteen and twenty seconds elapse between the time the button is first pushed and the time the siren begins to utter its piercing scream, it was stated by those investigating the system Tuesday. It was stated that two of the switches were tried without results and that finally the alarm was given from a box near Scoggin Motor Co., which is located probably a quarter of a mile from the Rodwell home on Ridgeway street. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rodwell were out of town when the garage was destroyed and their home threatened. WithThe Sick Mrs. W A RiirufPll u-Hn hoc honn I gradually showing strength since she was taken seriously ill nearly two months ago, was reported to have suffered a slight relapse on Wednesday night. Howard F. Jones, Sr., who became critically ill at the same time as did Mrs. Burwell, also had a bad night Wednesday and his vitality was at low ebb yesterday. R. T. Watson, president of the Citizens Bank, has been confined 10 his home this week with a coldMrs. Watson is also reported to be suffering from a cold. J. A. Dameron, Hugh White and John Hudgins returned Wednesday from Currituck Sound where they duck-hunted this week.
