A SEMINAR FOR SAFETY Leaders in highway safety moves throughout the country sat down with representatives of the press of the state and with highway officials of North Car olina this week in Raleigh and discussed what can be done, through education- through road improvement, through laws, to reduce the heavy toll of life and the tremendous property dam age annually in state and nation. It was an inspiring meeting, and that much good will come of it is not questioned by anyone present. This North Carolina News paper Seminar of Safety, as it was officially called, was spon sored by the C. I. T. Safety Foundation of New York, ‘ with a view to the further develop ment of traffic safety techni ques which can be applied in lo cal communities,” as the pro gram put it. Every conceivable angle of the problem was discussed, and by such men as Dr. Miller Mc- Clintock, director of the Bureau for Street Traffic Research of Yale University; Dr. F. R. Noff- singer, educational consultant of the American Automobile Asso ciation; Judge E. Earle Rives of the Municipal Court, Greens boro; Dr. Clyde Erwin, State Superintendent of Public In struction; Lew Wallace, past president of the American Asso' ciation of Motor Vehicle Admin- istartors; Lieut. Franklin M. Kreml, director of the North western University Traffic In stitute and a nationally known safety expert; Col. A. B. Barber, manager of the transportation and communication department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; Re&inald M. Cleveland of the editorial staff of the New York Times; Ronald Hocutt, director of the highway safety division of the Depart ment of Revenue of North Car olina. and others. Digests from the talks made by these speakers will appear in The Pilot from time to time, for it is through the knowledge which these men have attained in their years of study of traf fic problems that the general public can gleam the part it can play in making our high ways safe for our children, and for us.

Expresses Gratitude to Members and Friends For F'ive Series of Winter Programs €F SANr A PROGRAM FOR RECOVERY A seven-point economic recov ery program was submitted to the United State.s Chamber of Commerce by its retiring presi dent. It reads: 1. Removal of tax deterrents which discourage investment in both established and new en terprises. 2. Abandonment of “unwise public-spending policies." 3. Modification of laws gov erning the issuing and market ing of private securities. 4. Discontinuance of Govern ment competition with private business. 5. Abandoment of monetary manipulation and imodification of the policy of “artificially cheap money.” 6. Modification of banking laws to permit greater freedom of private initiative in under writing security issues. 7. Discontinuance of “un necessary investigations which create apprehension and impose needless burdens upon industry and trade.” The Pilot, which is a member of the Southern Pihes Cham ber of Commerce, which in turn is a member of the United States Chamber of Commerce, en dorses this program. It is con vinced that it would speed up recovery, revive investment, en- In a report from the Department of Public Instruction it says that North Carolina schools have spent $203,499.94 ioi library books and magazines in the past two years. This was an increase of $60,000 over 1936-37. Such a sum might be looked upon a long time before a better invest-; ment could be found that would bring to the school child a higher return.^ Buying books and encouraging school j children to read and form reading habits leads them into broader paths J.han if they lived in a state where j no books were available. Giving books to children is handing them all the gathered wisdom and research of mankind since the beginning of civili zation. Since the first scribes began to chronicle events out of an ob scured past we have raptured about all the known information in books and this includes the modern imagi native writer who dreams of farthest points in a distant future. No greater or more lasting invest ment could be made in behalf of the State than to buy books for North Carolina’s school children. as in yesterday^ it has attractive ho tels, apartment houses and homes. The Congregational church in its setting is one of the most imposing structures of the town. The fine old trees lend a dignity and charm some of the newer streets will not possess for years to come. The appeal of an attractive old street often has more delightful qualities than one too new. A winter resident asked one day if a word could not be said in be half of Bennett street as a desirable location for living quarters, and proceeded to enumerate advantages offered by the street. Bennett street needs little said in its support, as it established its reputation when the town was an infant and has never wandered very far from its original characteristics. When Pennsylvania avenue and Bennett street were considerably younger than they are now, they were the prominent thoroughfares of the village. The postoffice, the bank, the opera house, the printing office, a school house, a church, a couple of hotels and the better cottages and apartment houses were at one time located on Bennett street. Today sees many new locations for these build ings. Time has a way of scattering things, and also crossing the tracks. Bennett street however is not on the wrong side of the tracks. Today, courage business and industry, create employment and change the whole economical picture. But what chance has such a program in a New Deal Con gress ? “North Carolina accent fairly drip ped like honey at the state exhibit at the World's Fair on the opening day last Sunday. North Carolina’s was one of four or five state exhib its ready for inspection and a flow of visitors ebbed in and out the doors all day. Pretty Miriam Johnson of Aberdeen, chief hostess of the state delegation was there with her smile,” says Conrad Smith in his New York column. In the early part of May, a num ber of year ago when W. F. Allen was principal of the Southern Pines schools he informed his boys and girls all could have a holiday on the 20th of the month who brought to him in detailed account reasons for having a celebration on that par ticular day. Allen’s youngsters worked for the holiday and remembered the affair. As the 20th looms up again it re calls to some the story of a little band of men who met in a log court house in Mecklenburg county, under the leadership of Thomas Polk, col onel of the county in an effort to de clare themselves independent. They arrived at the resolution, "We do hereby declare ourselves a free and independent people; that we are, and of right ought to be, a sovereign self- governing people under the power of God and the General Congress,” and so on through four or five para graphs In the spring of 1775 a handful from Mecklenburg declared themselves free men and prepared to set up a government of their own. Under Allen, historical events were learned and some forgotten. But the Mecklenburg Declaration left its impression. Facts frequently are re membered because they tie in some where with other associations. Special one $250.00 R. C. A.

From February 1st on the Civic Club has been open daily as a reading and writing room, and well supplied with the latest maga zines and papers, and the large hall open for games of cards and friend ly gatherings.
