But when needed their functioning or not function ing may become a matter of life or death. This is the case with automobile brakes. Often the driver of a car dashes up to a red light at a street clos ing and if the brakes work stops in a matter of inches. He dashes right up to the railway tracks. Only functioning brakes saves the car. He speeds along the road al most against the bumper of the car in front of him. Nothing to de pend upon but brakes. He speeds through the smog and fog at a high speed. Nothing but brakes between him and an accident or maybe death. How often has the driver when he lives said, “My brakes failed to work.” The cars have been made about as fool proof as possible but a car is no safer than the driver who holds the wheel. When taking chances with the brakes, if they fail once in a thousand times, that may be the time when it becomes fatal. ✓ People who appear to be sensible and competent everywhere else become imbeciles and morons when they get under a steering wheel. One failure of the brakes and it may mean death to them. FISH N CHIPS By Hiram B. Norris A Constitutional Amendment is rare in American history; yet the prohibition Amendment, centainly a milestone in U. S. history, was passed by the Senate after only thirteen hours of debate. When it went to the House of Representa tives, the debate occupied only one day. The states ratified it quickly, and the Volstead Act for enforce ment of the Amendment slipped through just as easily, although Woodrow Wilson vetoed it, only to see it repassed over his veto. There were only scattered protests, many of them based on the argument that the law would prove unen forceable. There is no parallel in U. S. history for the phenohenal case with which this historic Amendment became law. Consid ring the tremendous impact it had on the nation’s pattern of be havior during the dozen years it remained on the books, the ease with which it was accepted seems almost inconceivable. And yet, it was not repealed until the great depression of the early 30s made liquor attractive to the lawmak ers as an object of easy taxation! Sometimes It's Using Ciood Driving Manners To Point n r w* 1 ccl! *P 11 Most motor accidents last year were directly due to discourtesy— reckless driving, excessive speed, driving on the wrong side of the road, bulling through Without the fr-ight-of-way, cutting in ahead, passing on curves or hills, passing on the wrong side, failing to sig nal, or signaling improperly. In other words, accidents don’t just “happen” accidents are caused. You’re the driver who causes accidents, if you’re a driver who leaves your manners on the sidewalks when you get into your car. The man who wouldn’t think of EARPSBORO SCRIBBLIN'S If you want to know and see the customs, manners, and courtli ness of the Old South, then just visit and talk with William Irving Green. He is a typical old Southern gentleman in every sense of the word. For some over fifty years, Wil liam was one of the foremost sing ers in this community. He says he began singing when he was just a teen-age boy and has never lost his love for it, though now his breath is a hindrance because cf its shortness. During his tender years he had a chance to attend a “singing school" such as was popular in that day and time at Lee’s Chapel Church. This school was under the direction of a man named Jack King. From him William learned the basic rudiments of music. “I could sing anything you laid before me,” William said, “if it was written correctly. Nothing feazed me when it came to music.” Becoming so professed in music through work ancf study, Wil liam launched out and began to conduct singing schools of his own during the winter months and when he caught up with his farm ing. He never tired of traveling ever the surrounding counties of Johnston, Wake and Nash teaching people to read and sing music. “It they couldn’t become pro fessed in it,” William said, “I just wanted to create in them a love or a greater love for music.” William has served his church well, too. He held the church clerk’s office at Lee’s Chapel for fifty-two years. He has saved the old records, and when he takes them out he fingers the old tatter ed, worn and yellow pages with a lovingness and endearment. He has never owned but one car—a Model T and never drove that, never having learned Tuesday, June 29,1954 standing in line at a movie theater bellowing at the top of his voice because the line doesn’t move fast er is the same man who leans on his horn, fraying all the tem pers within earshot, and putting other drivers into an accident causing mood. And that same man will belig gerently expect his car to respond to every emergency, even when not kept in top operating condition. The man who handles the make of car you drive can keep it in perfect operating shape if you ask him to but only you can keep your driving manners polished. to drive. Until he was past seven ty-five, he never smoked and then only for a short time, quickly re verting back to the plug and snuff box. His children include two boys and four girls by his first wife, the late Artelia Stallings who died in 1921. William celebrated his eighty-sixth birthday last Novem ber 27. • Ella Price Grogan homefolks call her “Little Ella” to distinguish between mother and daughter was down recently from her home in New Jersey vacationing with her mother. She said the minute she left the train she headed for a hot dog stand. “I was simply starved for some good old Southern hot dogs,” she said. “They simply can’t fix theni up North like they can down her?^^ She admitted, too, that they a* still hot dogs to her and not “franks,” as the notherners label them. Overheard Will Tippett telling this one the other day. Seems that when he had “asked for” and had been “promised” Maggie, he thought he could inhabit his fi ancee’s parlor until all hours. When Maggie’s father called bed time, Will lingered. Another bed time call, Will still lingered. The third sound off from Maggie’s fa ther assured Will that he better be moving on. “I thought that because me and Maggie were engaged,” Will said, “gave me the right to kind of stay around a little while longer, not so. That ten o’clock was in effect whether one was en gaged or not.” Will sighed and murmured something about how times had changed now. The useful and the beautiful are never separated.—Periander
