C., as second class mail matter. NO WARNING SIGNS, NO GUARD RAILS There are several very bad turns on the old road between Southern Pines and Pinehurst. The wreck which injured five young people a week ago Sunday occurred on one of these, due to the unfamiliarity of the driver with the road. Other accidents have happened at the same curve. This road is used a great deal. It is a shorter route from many sections of the two towns than the double road. The road is in good condition. Yet there is not one danger signal or warning sign on the road. And there is no guard rail on the dangerous culvert where the recent accident occurred. These conditions should be remedied at once.

With a glib line of selling talk some local mer- cants are induced to hand over the dollar or two necessary to ‘take advantage of” the' oppor- agricultural industry, and Whatj happened in agriculture is not shown. In manufacturing there was a decrease of 600,000 employees from 1929 to 1940; in mining 219,000; in transportation and public utilities 331,000. The big gest loss was in construction ■ with a decrease of 731,000 or 40, per cent in the number employ-i ed. i For all industry there were 3,-1 000,000 fewer workers and, in| addition there were 6,000,0001 more adults than in 1929, so' against its total of 9,000,000 56 Brides To Date Ten Licenses Issued in Au gust After July’s All-Time Low of One One of these fellows passed | through Southern Pines andl^^^^ ab.sorbed only 830,000.

IT’S UP TO PRIVATE INDUSTRY One of the government’s own agencies, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, makes out perhaps the best case against the theory that government alone can take up the entire slack of unemploy ment i na seyere depression, says the Boston Post. It does this in a recently released compilation of the number of employees in various industries including gov ernment now as compared with 1929. It shows that aside f^om self- employed persons, casual work ers, domestic servants or WPA, NYA and CCC projects, the to-, tal increase in all government employees federal.

Grains of Saod We thought we’d driven every conceivable way from Southern Pines to Pinehurst, but we found a new one this weeli, as did all who tried the double road. While the resurfac ing of the westbound road was in progress, cars were routed over the wrong side. And if you see tar on the heels of the president of the Southern Pines Junior Chamber of Commerce, Paul Butler, it’s because he had to leave his car in the center parkway and walk acrdss the fresh resurfacing material to get home. Neighboring Sanford and Rae- ford militiamen have been called into service. The President’s summons of Nat-onal Guard troops for a year’s service affected the units in both these towns.

In the big centers where big wagers are made, the odds are on Roo.sevelt, despite the fact that Willkie leads in the Gallup polls to date. Strange as it may seem, it is re ported that a gross misunderstand ing exi.sts in some parts of the coun try to the effect that if a Democrat casts a vote for a Republican candi date, the voter makes himself a Re publican instead of a Democrat, and vice versa, and thereby terminates his affiliation with his own party. If such a mistaken idea exists, it is important that voters be inform ed that they can vote for whom they please in general elections, without in any way changing their party af- filiation.s or their right to vote in | primaries and other local elections.
