Purol Pep Safety Drive If all of the cars of all of the people who have pledged them selves to drive safely in the Purol- Pep Drive Safely Crusade were placed end to end, they would reach in a solid line from Raleigh, N. C. through Atlanta, Ga., to Chatta nooga, Tenn., according to latest figures made public here today by S. J. Noreck, local Purol-Pep agent. Over one-fourth million signed pledge cards have been turned in at the Crusade headquarters, he de clared. The Drive Safely Crusade—now under way for over three months— is being conducted in Georgia, Ten nessee and the Carolinas under the leadership of Wiley L. Moore, one of the South’s leading citizens and president of the Wofford Oil Coupany, the Pure Oil Coupany of Tennessee and the Pure Oil Com pany of the Carolinas. A red, white and blue “Pledged To Drive Safely” emblem that fast ens on the license plate is given to each person who signs the pledge and thousands of these safety re minders are now traveling the streets and highways of Dixie. Day by day, the number of emblems is increasing and each one represents a driver who has not only pledged himself to drive safely, but is do ing his part to help make the other . . . and you’ll have the thrilling pride of riding on the tire that gives you greater safety, comfort, beauty with the 1938 Goodyear G-3 All- Weather.

NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, JULY 22,1938. fellow safety conscious too. Cash prize contests conducted in , connection with the Drive Safely Crusade have helped to popularize the subject of safe driving. The con tests are based on some phase of the safety problem. For instance, $3,750 will be given away in July in a contest centered around a picture in which there are traffic mistakes for the contestants to discover. First prize is $500.00. Thousands have already entered the preceding contests in this se ries. At first the contests were lim ited to drivers only, but now they are open to everyone who is a legal resident of Georgia, the Carolinas or Tennessee, in the be lief that everyone needs to take an interest in safer driving, regard less of whether they drive an auto mobile or not. Motorists who have not yet en listed in the Drive Safely Crusade are invited to visit any Purol-Pep dealer for full information. The opportunity to help with the safe ty problem will be quickly provid ed. THE LENDING-SPENDING MONEY There can be no possible excuse for using any of the $3,375,000,000 provided under the new lending spending bill for projects which compete in any way with private industry. The purpose of the appropriation is to stimulate business and em ployment. And it is certainly rea sonable to presume that the money should be used for projects which will give business orders—and which will not take orders and cus tomers away from it. There is no lack of projects which are properly a concern of government, which create a vast demand for labor and materials, and which compete in no way with private enterprise. The country needs more and safer roads, for instance. It needs grade crossing elimination. In some cases it prob ably needs river and harbor im provement. It needs stream puri fication in many areas. It can doubtless use more public build ings. All such projects as these give a very large part of each dollar spent to labor, both on the job and in the plants supplying necessary materials. These are the kind of projects for which the lending spending money should be used ex clusively. RUMANIA’S QUEEN DEAD Marie, Dowager Queen of Ru mania, died on Monday in her sixty third year. She was a talented wo man of many accomplishments. Her son, Carol, has for several years been the ruler of Rumania. While visiting the United States during the Coolidge administration, the Queen was called home by the ill ness pf her husband, King Ferdi nand, who died shortly after her return. CALIFORNIA, HERE WE GO Douglas Corrigan, American flier left New York on Sunday morn ing at 4:17, ostensibly to go to California. Instead after being in the air for 28 hours and 13 minutes he landed in Ireland. He made the flight alone in an old plane estimat dd to be worth S9OO. He had no radio and only the few navigating instruments essential. Airmen had thought there was only one chance in a hundred of Corrigan’s making the trip. NEW AVIATION RECORD Howard Hughes, millionaire sportsman-pilot, has set a new rec ord for aviation by flying around the world in three days, nineteen hours and sixteen minutes. The I record displaced was for more than seven days and was made by Wiley Post who lost his life in the acci dent that also killed Will Rogers. Hughes was accompanied by four others as working crew. He is said to have gone without sleep during the flight. His return to New York on Friday of last week was fea tured by the biggest celebration New York has seen for some years. Army experts declare the superiori ty of American air-craft has been demonstrated by Hughes, Who used a bi-motored monoplane.

The claim is made that agricul ture is giving a good account of itself throughout the Nation, and that the employment outlook has been improved through Govern ment spending, and increases in in dustrial employment. Retail trade is gaining in a majority of American cities, according to the scattering reports. BETTER THINK THIS OVER In his Kentucky speech the Pres ident charged the Governor of that State—and inferentially most Governors—with making false claims about their successes to ward budget balancing and clean ing up old State debts. He showed that these Governors simply shift ed the figures and the debts onto Washington. And that’s correct. The Mayors of most of our large cities have been doing the same boondoggling.

The game to fool local taxpayers has become td look like a racket. HOUSES BY THE POUND Home building has been increas ed and it has given employment to a lot of workmen who would otherwise be idle. A strong ob jection to the existing plan is that it usually costs too much money to build what should be an inex pensive house. That is a vital ob jection. Experts in the building material industry declare that the answer is: Pre-fabricated houses manu factured by mass production and sold by the pound, in proper sized pieces and sections so that they may be set up like a kitchen cabi net, or a sectional bookcase. That might not help the workers, and employment is this country’s first problem.
