THE PILOT, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, North Carolina Page Three Pedestrian Deaths Led 1934 Auto Toll Survey by Carolinas Motor Club Reveals IntereslinR Data on Accidents Potato Control Seen as a Link In Chain Leading to Socialism Collisions of automobiles with pe. destrians lead all types of automo. bile accidents that result in fatalities in North Carolina, according to a survey concluded by officials of the Carolina Motor Club. This survey shows that of the 986 persons killed in automobile accidents In North Carolina last year, 36 per cent were caused by automobiles In collision with pedestrians. This same type of accident is likewise claiming the greatest toll on North Carolina streets and highways this year. Collisions with other automobiles accounted for 27 per cent of the fa tal accidents last year; non.collision accidents, 26 per cent; collision with railroad trains, 5 per cent; collision with fixed objects, 4 per cent; col. lision with bicycles, 1 per cent; and collision with horse.drawn vehicles, 1 per cent. It was found that Saturday, Sun day, Monday and Friday are the leading accident.producing days in the v/eek. It was pointed out that many industrial plants and business hou:363 are working on short weeks and the public has more days for recrer.tion, meaning more vehicles on the highways. Greater responsibility for law observance and law enforce, ment are placed on the individual, motor club officials said. They as. serted it is the conduct of the indiv idual driver and pedestrian that must either help to build up or tend to destroy the traffic safety structure. Statistics of recent years in North Carolina have shown that approxi. mately 93 per cent of all motor dif. ficulties are the result of erratic or mistaken human behavior. Motor club officials said they be. lieved the Slate driver’s dicense law will result in les.sening the toll be ing paid for operation of motor ve. hides, but emphasized the necessity of motorists having a consciousness of the rights of others and a disposi. tion to respect those rights. They said courtesy may well be applied to the solution of traffic tangles and to greater traffic safety. NcLean Furniture Co. COMPLETE HOME FURNISHERS CASH OR CKEDIT SOUTHERN PINES A. L..

That appropriation failed to pass, owing to confusion in the closing hours. But the Agricultural Adjustment Administration was not deferred. A. A. A. announced on August 29 that “the Agricultural Ad_ justment Administration is taking steps to procure funds from other sources to start the program.” A. A. A. had to go on. It could not afford to let “potato control” lapse or wait. ‘‘Potato control” is essential to the whole A. A. A. pro gram. The importance of “potato control” can be stated from two points of view; if “potato control” fails, through resistance from the country or otherwise, the whole A. A. A. program of crop restriction, the whole philosophy of scarcity, will fail. Conversely, if “potato control” is made to “stick,” the program of restriction will go on until it takes in everything that any farm raises for market, including vegetables. A. A. A. and Henry A. Wallace, Secre. tary of Agriculture, are caught mid. way of a series of steps from which they cannot go back, in which they must go on to yet other steps. It is an automatic, irreversible process in which A. A. A. is enmeshed. Let us see first why, if “potato control” fails, the rest of A. A. A.’s practice of crop limitation may fail. Potato control is made necessary by what has preceded. In the be. ginning, A. A. A. limited the raising of two Southern crops, cotton and tobacco. At once farmers, especially in North Carolina, turned their idle ' acres into peanuts. Thereupon Sec- : retary Wallace, on February 12, 1934, said: “In view of the reduc. tion in cotton acreage ... we rec. ognize it will be necessary to take definite steps to discourage undue expansion in peanut acreage.” There was now limitation on three piincipal North Carolina crops, cot. j t.on, tobacco and peanuts. There was ' more idle acreage than ever before. The North Carolina farmers turned I the idle acres into potatoes. As it was ■ 1 put in the Senate by Mr. Bailey, of i North Carolina, July 22: “Under the i operation of the crop-control act ; farmers have been driven from cot. ■ ton. tobacco and peanut production I a.s well as other crops and have gone ;rto the production of potatoes.” At once there was a glut of pota. i.oes. They shipped their potatoes into markets all over the country. The price of potatoes went disastrously low. It was now necessary to limit potatoes. Hence the “potato control” act, passed by tl^e Senate July 22, passed by the House August 17, sign, cd by the President August 24, and taking effect Dccemlier 1 next. I Those are the steps so far. Now as to the inevitable future steps. Just I ai cotton and tobacco control forc- ! cd potato control so will cotton, to. tacco and potato control force yet more control. By its nature the pro. ! cess grows automatically and with . increasing speed. Just what crop will come next we do not know. We ! only know that all crops will come ! in their turn. As it was put by Mr. ' King, of Utah, in the Senate July 22: “We may expect at the next ses. Sion of Congress to find measures to biing other commodities under con trol—perhaps carrots and cabbages and lettuce and tomatoes and all kinds of fruits and vegetables.” That is no exaggeration spoken for humor. It is literally accurate. have doubted three years ago that the time would come when no far. mer might raise and sell more pota. toes than A. A. A. dictated, when every potato sold must be in a ck)s. ed package prescribed by the govern ment, when every package must bear a government stamp, when every seller — and also every buyer — of “bootleg" potatoes was subject to fine and imprisonment. The process will not stop and can. not stop with the farm. Once restric. tion is put upon farm crops, it must be put on articles that compete with farm crops. Already A. A. A. has put restriction on paper towels and also paper bags and jute bags. Soon there will be restriction on silk and rayon. Nor can the process stop with mere restriction of manufactured products. It must go on and on un. til there is price fixing of every com. modity and ultimately wage fixing in every area of life. As it is put by Professor Lionel Robbins: “Once gov- WEST END Mrs. M. A.
