A SERIOUS THOUGHT
ON THANKSGIVJNG _
Thanksgiving is America’s
oldest institution of observance.
It was in 1621 that Governor
Bradford made provision for a
day of thanksgiving and prayer
following the first harvest of
the New England colonists. In
1623 a day of fasting and pray
er in the midst of drought was
changed to thanksgiving by the
coming of rain during the pray
ers, and gradually the custom
prevailed of appointing thanks
giving annually after harvest.
Governors proclaimed them in
the various states, and during
the Revolution a day of national
thanksgiving was annually rec
ommended b:'f Congress.
It was Abraham Lincoln who
first appointed a day of thanks
giving by Presidential proclama
tion, and since then the Presi
dents have designated the last
Thursday in November officially
each year.
In this modern time it may be
that a large percentage of our
population thinks of Thanks
giving only as the day of a
big football game, or of a
plump tuikey*, or the start
of a long week-end. Let us stop
for a moment in the enjoyment
of our blessings to give thought
to the privations and hardships
of those forefathers who made
these pleasures possible, and to
Him from Whom all blessings
flow'.

SO.ME SI GGESTIONS FOR
HIGHWAY SAFETY
America looks with pride on
her automobile industry and
highway s^^^tem yet thirty-six
thousand people were killed in
those cars and on those roads
last year, one million injured.
All over the country people are
beginning to wonder if our cars
and our highways are not prov
ing a curse instead of a blessing.
The President has done well to
appoint a Commission to look
into the reasons for this slaugh
ter and devise methods of stop
ping it.
The first report of the Com
mission will undoubtedly stress
the need for rebuilding present
highway's with a view to greater
safety. Highway police should
certainly be increased. In our
own state there is only one man
to every 70 miles of road. That
is too much distance for one man
to patrol effectively and if there
is a call for him in his territory,
an accident perhaps with sub
sequent investigation, the police
man will be tied up there for sev
eral hours during which his
stretch of road is without super
vision.
It is hoped that the Presid
ent’s Commission, after* empha
sizing these primary necessities
of traffic regulation, will go far
ther. Psychologically, they have
proved inadequate to control the
tjpe of mind of a reckless driv
er. Too often greater safety in
highway construction only
makes a man drive faster and
the emphasis of police action
is necessarily upon punishment
rather than prevention. The type
of legislation which emphasizes
prevention instead of punish
ment is alw’ajts difficult to
frame, difficult to pass and dif
ficult to enforce. It is fought on
the grounds of interference with
individual rights. Particularly
suspect are such laws when
their aim seems to be directed
afifainst only a few people while
their application penalizes every
body. If cars were made so that
they could not be driven more
than 45 miles an hour it would
probablyi cut our accident lists
in half. Practically everybody
will admit that 45 is plenty fast
yet a law fixing that as the max
imum speed of cars would be
fought tooth and nail.
Another suggestion is in quite
a different direction. A few days
ago there w'as a story in the pa-
It is sad to think that fear of
losing money is stronger than
consideration for others or even
for oneself, but so it is. The pres-
|ent system of insurance against
every variety of accident un
doubtedly encourages reckless
'driving.
As responsible citizens who are
deeph' and dangerously involved
; we must work in wur own com-
! munities for legislation to re
duce the ghastly record of acci
dent and death. We must block
any attempts at building new
roads, whether to attract tour-
I ists, bring trade, or for any oth
er ballyhoo purpose, until the
roads we have are properly built
and properly policed. We must
; keep politics out of highway de
partments. We must work for
the elimination of many of the
useless roads meandering maz-
, ily through this state and divert
funds from their maintenance
to the building of two-way ar
teries w’hich, avoiding towns and
congested districts, will be safe,
beautifully landscaped highways
through the country; and when
the President’s Commission
make their report we must be
ready to receive it with an open
mind and to give its suggestions
our support.—K, L. B.

Southern Pines has suffered a
distinct loss in the death of Dr.
A. McNiel Blair. Dr. Blair has
been in the practice of medicine
here almost since the turn of
the century. He has endeared to
himself a host of friends among
all classes. Much of his profes
sional work has been among the
lowlyt and needy, to whom his
skillful aid has been rendered
without thought of remunera
tion. To them his death comes as
a serious personal loss. The
sympathy of the entire com
munity goes out to a bereaved
family.
