The rail way passenger car that goes into the railroad's "Hospital" is given as thorough an inspection and "diag nosis," and receives as drastic re storative treatment for "illtf" as the human body that passes through a famous clinic. Here is a condensed "case history" of a Norfolk <fc Western passenger car which takeg the "treatment." If there is corro sion of the car roof or any other part, it is sandblasted out and treat ed with red lead. Next, all sashes, window trimmings and seat cush ions, etc., are removed. The dirt, coal dust, cinders, etc., areb lown out. Then car goes to the scrub shop for a thorough scrubbing in side and out. Another minute in- : spection and all worn parts are made as good as new. Now comes the "skin" treatment ? aint and var nish and more paint and varnish. Sometimes it takes five' to seven coats to put the car in shape. Hie final operations include inspections, and restoration, where needed, of ?V electrical parts, ventilating fans, steam heating system, etc. ? then the car goes back to work.

The greatest improvement made in track by any of the five divisions on the railroad during 1932, was made by the Radford Division, which moved up from 9.00 to 9.11. o ? ? DANGER-AMERICA TAKE WARNING! (By Obcdiah Frazier) As I look over this country of ours called America I can see so much evil about that it is simply appall ing. Yea, and it grieves me. And I know it grieves Jesus Christ our Lord, because He gave His life to save us. But today the country has gone riotously after sin, instead of repenting and accepting the Lord Jesus. I notice one class of people ? the professional blockaders, the boot leggers and whiskey-drinkers, who afre not satisfied with the life they are leading, but they also want to pull other young men down to their ruin. "Woe unto him that giveth ris neighbor drink, that puttest the cup to him and maketh him drunken." Young men, be wise; - don't let strong drink ruin your lives, do not be deceived. When I lift up my eyes and look, what is that I see? Oh yes, a car ? Joy-riders, some of those reckless wrs depi m "ltoxboro's Shopping Center" Roxboro, N.

But when they get with | their regular buddies, it is a dif j ferent story. Instead of turning from their* evil ways, they, also, j seek to pull,, nice innocent girW | down to their ruin. Often it does not require many of tl^ese 50 or 75 mile joy-rides to accomplish their downfall. Wake up, dear parents, we need to be awake and at work, yea, and I mean work, pray and light also, if we are to win the vic tory over sin. Don't qiisunderstand me: I do not condemn pleasure riding or recreation, but a whole lot depends on the company you keep. My dear young friend^, stay on your guard if you see your so-called friends are not going straight. I warn you to shun their company. I also see that the liars are still carrying on their evil work, trying to down and deceive their fellow men. The word of the Lord says: "Thejje six things doth the Lord ( hate; yea, seven are an abomina- , tion unto Him : a proud look, a ly- ' ing tongue and hands that shed in- i nocent blood. * * (Prov. 6:16). i And I see men in the world, and sometimes very close by, who are married and have wives and fami lies, supposed to be good moral fel lows, but xtill they are not satisfied. They see some nice innocent wo man, or young girl, they are inter ested in, then they begin to entice and attract her attention. And j there is the beginning tcf divorce and disgrace. This is often the case with both sexes, married worsen as well as men. My friends, except these', evil doers repent, they will receive their share of punishment hereafter. Let us see what the Lord has to say: "Righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a reproach to any people." We see these sins all around us, then get out and holler about the depression. "Though your sins be as Scarlet, they shall be white as snow." This applies to us as indi viduals as well aS a nation. Make 1933 a Safe Year A publication of the National Safe, ty Council carries an excellent New Year wish: "Three hundred and sixty-five safe and happy days to you for 1933." If that wish could bear fruit, it would be a magnificent thing for the country. It would Save thous ands of lives which would otherwise be needlessly destroyed ? it would keep for useful purposes the billion or so dollars that is wasted annually through accidents ? it would make for happier and better working conditions, and more effcient in dustries. Nothing is so destructive to the morals of the worker as a Series of serious accidents in his plant. The safety movement has been making good progress for a long time. There has been a general decrease in the number and sever lty of accidents ? aside from those caused by automobiles. ** , ; ?> : The cprelesS, reckless an<J- irres ponsible -^driver kills . about 33,000, people f year nowadays. f | We can make 1933 the greatest safety year in our time. We can do ' it by giving the little effort, the little thought, the little care, that is needed to make our homes, our places ol business and the public highways safer. We can do it by giving consideration to the rights of the other ' fellow. As individuals, we have the power to save thous ands of irreplarable lives this year. Let's do it! THE" CURE-ALL, TECHNOCRACY We suppose it is entirely natural, when thing* are going -badly, for people to want to change every thing. Whenever we have any ser ious economic' troubles there is al ways a crop of new schemes to set everything right again. These schemes usually involve a complete . change in the form of our govern- j ment and our system of banking, credits and money. ? Just now the new scheme that is getting a lot of attention is one called "technocracy." The idea! seems to be that there is so much] technical energy available and the ' technical people know so much about how to use it, that we ought to turn the government over to en- j gineerg and let them run the coun- J try. We understand that everybody would have to do a little work un- ' der technocracy, a matter of per haps three or four hours a day once in a while. But everybody would ( have plenty of time to go fishing, or attend the movies, and plenty of money with wfrich . to enjoy his leisure, if what the technocrats say turned out to be true. . One part of the scheme is to use kilowatt hours instead of gold for money. Money is to be based on units of energy produced or con sumed. This strikes us as a pretty good idea in some respects, but we know some men who would starve to death if they were only paid in proportion to the energy they spend on their jobs. seriously, we haven't the slightest idea that the people of the United States, or any important part at them, are ready to scrap the system of government and the economic industrial system under which we have got along petty well. We all know the present social structure has its faults, and that our govern mental machine creaks at times, iut we are always pretty earnest and usually pretty prompt about patching the leaks and mending thfc cracks as fast as we discover them. And, we have a notion the old ma chine will run along pretty well for a fewTiundred years yet. It doesn't do any harm, however, as we see it, for people to talk about better systems and why we ought to have them. The best ones we know anything about have per fection as their aim, even if tliey j never reach it. ? Autocaster. Another Remarkable Story of a Puzzling Crime Unravelled by the ?
