THE PILOT STARTS ITS 18TI1 YEAR With The Pilot starts its 18th year of publica tion. Volume 1. Xumljor 1 wa^^ dat ed P’riday, November Its publication oft'ico was Vass. Stacy P>re\ver was niaiuiKor and the late P>ion 11. Builor inlilor. The first issue was oiKht pa^ro.'. and contained news from \'ass. Sandhill Farm Life School, Up per Hoke county, Jackson Sprinjrs and Cameron: a st(-ry about what a groat success the Sandhill Fair in Pinehurst had been the week before, and a column of parag:raphs. We quote from ;\Ir. Butler’s first editorial: Possibly it is a waste of ink and paper to offer a reason or an ex cuse or whatever it may be regard ed for beginning the publication of a paper. But a certain curios ity as to the underlying motive al ways leads some folks to wonder a?» to the way, and what it purports, and as the pui-pose of a country paper is to tell the people things o;’ the community it might as well tD’.l the answer to this as to anytning else. The Pilot is started largely be cause the publisher and some others { have thought that at Vass is a lo-! c?5ion for^ paper of modest ainif, | printing office that j or the high class of j can be reached . . . . j paper, tliat will be an j village newspaper, not veiy | us, paying attention to its j vhich is the country round Vass, and with the ambition help in the stimulation of fnr- development and progress In the community. j Since that first issue The Pilot, i has moved about a bit, grown: from a paper of ten inches l>y ^ 15 to a six-column paper carry- i ing anywhere from eight pages to its occasional Ifi, 18. 20—and more—page special issue.«. It migrated from Vass to Aberdceir that it might widen its field and better fulfill its slogan, “A Paper Devoted to the Upliuild- ing of the Sandhill Territory of North Carolina," and it moved. again to Southern Pines, the] county’s largest municipality. | when the Southern Pines paper; ran into difficulties. The Pilot hopes it continues to fulfil its mission of service lo the community. And it takes this opportunitj^ to thank its readers, its corre- .spondents, its advertisers, for the whole-hearted support ac corded the paper through its 37 years of publication. The Pli.,()T.

Southern Pines’ weekly newspaper, on its ITth birthday to day. The paper was establishetl nt Vass on Thanksgiving Day 1920 by the Publisher of The Plain Dealer, Stacy Brewer. During its 17 years of publication The Pilot has become one of the out standing weekly papers in North Carolina. Last week The Pilot issued the annual winter resoi't edition which ^ contained 22 pages of advertising I and news about the Mid-South Re sort.

He told the convention that the payments distributed by ‘lie life insurance c(jmpanies wei’e e(iuivalent to over 16 per cent of the sums derived by indi\i- duals from the manufacturing industry, which is by far the greatest source t)f our national income. Also, these payments were e(]uivalent to about 50 per cent of the sums received by in dividuals from the transporta tion industrj- and to about 60 per cent of such sums from agriculture. 110 BILLIONS OF LIFE INSURANCE That Americans now are car-; tying the largest amount of life insurance in the country’s his tory was revealed by President Gerard S. Nollen, of the Bank ers Life Company, Des Moines, low’a, in opening the annual con vention of the Association of . Life Insurance Presidents in New' York this week. Mr. Nollen reported that by the close of the year, 64,000,000 citizens will have life insurance averaging over $1,700 for each policyholder, and aggregating approximately $110,000,000,000. “This is the largest amount of life insurance ever held in United States legal reserve com panies,” he said. “The total in surance in force declined dur ing the depression to a low of $98,000,000,000 in 1933. Since 1933, each successive year has shown an increase, the largest being that of the current year, which is approximately $5,300,- 000,000. Mr. Nollen also announced BEWARE OF .\IR. EGO AT THE WHEEL The most dangerous motor ist is neither the drunk nor the incompetent, but the exhibition ist—the chap who has an exag erated sense of his ow'n impor tance when he gets behind the steering wheel, and insists on driving with that sense of his importance as bis ruling motive. This verdict is returned by Dr. C. IL W'atson, president of the National Safety Council. “Safety is a question of per formance,” says Dr. Watson. “Becau.se people know what they should do, does not mean that they will do it.” One needs to drive only a little while to understand the truth of what Dr. Watson says. The man who weaves in and out of traffic lanes, passes oth er cars on curves or hills, cuts in suddenly, crashes lights and ignores stop signs is displaying all the stigmata of the man who has set himself up on a pedestal. He also provides the set-up for most of our accidents. Southern Pines grew up to man’s estate this week. We've got traffic They didn't work so well at first, but that's going to be renifilied. The trouble now is, when the sun is casL- ing its rays on the signals, it looks as if the red, green anil yellow weie all lighteti and a fellow tiuesn't kno^,- what to do. Shades over the lights will fix that. There aie four signals in town, three on I'. S. Highway No. 1, (May street through townt at its intersec tions with Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts avenues, and one at the corner of Bennett street and Pennsylvania avenue. The main purpose of the lights is to slow down traffic approaching the Southern Pines School. FKEMIEK OF NOV.V SC'OTI.X •\T REI> SI‘KI\(J.S TOD.W Angus L.
