January /. 1V53 4 Ri‘ul Arronifdixhmvnt Although motorists piled up more motor vehicles on the streets and highways in this county last year than in any other period, their action cost the life of only one per son. While that person’s life was as dear to him as ours are to us. there is a lot of consolation in recognizing the reduction m the number of fatal highway accidents in the county during the year just ended. Not in years and years has the death count been held to one in this county. Last 4 year, it was seven. It was eight the year before, and it has been as high as a dozen or more in a single year. Possibly no one person, group of persons or agencies had complete control of the re duction in the tragedy count. It is fairly apparent, however, that the endless work of the highway patrol members in this county influenced the decrease. Their work, supported by the court and the people themselves, has paid a handsome dividend human life, a life that could be yours or ours. As the New Yeai gets its start, let’s re member that the highway patrol members are not after us. butthat they are with us— are not after us, but that they are with us During the meantime, let's not overlook the real accomplishment they helped enter in the records in 1952. .1 Sf>lrmlitl Rrcnnl With the possible exception of a few acts, justified oi unjustified. Governor W. Kerr Scott is leaving a great record behind him when he turns the reins of State over to the honorable Wm. B. Umstead a few days hence. Not as much has been accomplished in ad vancing thi' cause of the mentally ill as many had hoped would have been accom plished, and the point of perfection has not been attained in other places But Kerr Scott has record to stand on. one that the opposition, no matter how hard they battle, never will be able to tear down. Mr. Scott received a salary, to be sure, but the people owe him more because he did more for more people than any other governor ever did in the history of North Carolina. He did not believe in throwing money away; he merely believed in investing money in the name of the people all the people /Wl Turn ItucL the (.Im-h Only the record will tell, hut the new North Carolina political regime descend ing on Raleigh next week has a eonserva Trrr-mT’r" ——— ■ It is all r ight to save money and it is bad to waste it, but the people should remind the officials, including their repr esentatives, that they are not yet ready to go back to the horse-and-buggv days and turn the clock just to save money. If any legislator goes to Raleigh just to save money regardless of the resulting dam age to a forward-looking program, let him stay at home and turn his pay back to the treasury. And if they cannot recognize the value of an investment made in the name of the people and their advancement, then they should resign before the term is opened. Look not mournfully to the past—it comes not back again; wisely improve the present , —it is thine; .go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear, and with a manly heart.—Longfellow The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to. and the last duty 3®W»e.—G Macdonald. I .Vpir llo/tp No matter what the old year delivered or how exacting it was in terms of finances and tensions, the New Year comes, offering renewed hope and opportunities beyond our fondest dreams. We cannot live in the past and do jus tice to 1953. We must strive on toward the goal we failed to reach in 1952, remember ing that those who put the most into each day of the New Year will get the most out of it. 4n Opftnrlunily Special schools, scheduled in this county on January ti and 12. afford a splendid op portunitv for Martin County farmers to “brush up" on latest farm facts and meth ods. to study their problems and plan for the New Year. The farm schools come at a time when lamers can well find it convenient to at tend, and the courthouse' should he packed on both January 6 and 12. Don I Itr 1 tmronragro: By Ruth Taylor Really how bad are things? There is tension all over the world—and it is hav ing its repercussion in frayed nerves. As a nation and as a people we have wea thered worse storms than we face today. But there is a sneaky little enemy that bores from within like a Communist cell. That is Discouragement. In one of his stories Kipling speaks of the tragic tale that is whispered among the rivets on a ship—of how one little rivet grew discouraged at tlw magnitude of his task of holding the whole ship together, and so he pulled out. His friends grew panic-stricken and followed him—and the ship sank. So it is when a man becomes discourag ed. It is not only his own life that he af fects. but the lives of those around him. They glow less sure, less confident in their own abilities, ^nd the end is bad. For when many men become discouraged, then depression really settles down, for action becomes stultified, business slows down, in dustry grows cautious, and the snowball has begun to roll, ever increasing as it plows along. When a nation becomes discouraged, the 1 end is in sight for that nation, for men be I come prey to the mouthings of the dema gogues who feed upon their fear and prom ise a “change”, neglecting to point out that the only ones the change will benefit are the demagogues. We have seen this happen overseas. What | is the Marshall Plan but a preventive of I discouragement, the building up of people who might otherwise have been too dis couraged to resist subversive doctrines. 1 was glad when they changed the name from Economic Cooperation to Mutual Security —because that is just what it is. It is to our I advantage to help. Of course there are times when each of us is discouraged. 1 know with myself there | are times when I just sit and look at my typewriter and groan over what I have written, when I feel I simply can’t express what 1 mean. But there is one cure for that -a clean, fresh piece of paper. So it is with our lives. The best cure for discouragement is a clean white piece of paper—a new day—and that is always ours. What matter the failures of yesterday? There is always another chance, an oppor tunity to use our God-given talents and ability to do something new. Don’t let discouragement get you down. 1 always liked that saying of Pat Gorman’s. “A discouraged man is not always a quitter ■ but a quitter is always a discouraged man." You are no quitter—so don’t let discour agement sap your strength and ability! Then pealed the bells more loud and deep “t!od is not deaT^rnntT tie*"sleep! The Wrong shall fail. The Right prevail, With pence on earth, good will to men!” —Longfellow. Time is a mortal thought, the divisor of which is the solar year. Eternity is God’s measurement of Soul-filled years.—Mary Baker Eddy. Time! the corrector when our judgments err.—Lord Byron. O tell us, Year—we are fain to know— What is thy charm that we hail thee so? —Margaret E. Sangster. The vicious count their years; virtuous their acts —Samuel Johnson. Every good gift and every perfect gift if from above, and cometh down from th< Father of lights, with whom is no variable ness, neither shadow of turning.—Jame: 1:17.

Then I taught her to drive. Now she helps me wateh for the road, making sure it does not get away from me. She never says a word about my driving, except for an occasional compliment, hut she pushes hard on the floorboard to slow the car when we pull up close behind a truck and she leans to steer us around a curve she doubts my being able to make 'alone. There’s a moral in that story J somewhere. T O R K S U K E . I N S i! K E THE I.IFE INSIKWTK COMPANY OF VIRGINIA W.G. "BILL" PEELE Manager WILLI AM8TON N. O. New Chevrolet To Be Displayed Here Ninth Oi January -/Jy- •* Loral Dealer Announees Plans For Display Of Nrw Mmlrls -*— A nrw Chevrolet that will cre ate ‘entirely new conceptions of automotive beauty and perform ance'' was promised today by Joan Ii. Edwards, secretary and treasurer and general manager of the Roanoke Chevrolet Company. Mr Edwards made his statement : following a meeting with oom I panv representative- in c>{JWf?mv i burg. S. C.. Dec. 22. where 19;:3 ! plans were revealed to an en thusiastic audience of dealers from Noi'th and South Carolina, i "When we were invited to at tend we were told that this would be one of Chevrolet’s most im ! portant business conferences," he continued. This was conclusively borne out by developments. Not only were we shown the most exciting product in my experience as a dealer, but the speakers made clear that the company through its newspaper advertising 1 and promotion would give the model unprecedented backing." Mr. Edwards said the program should answer any doubts about the future of business. ' “A company with the market ing knowledge of Chevrolet does not reinvest the tremendous cap ital required for a program of this nature unless it is firmly convinc ed of sound sales possibilities,” he Su/percarrier Will dp Built In JV«r York Port The Navy has laid the keel of its second supersize carrier, at New York Naval Ship Yard, with Dan A. Kimball. Secretary of the Navv presiding over the cere mony. The ship, the Saratoga, a 6C.OOO ton vessel is the sistership of the Carrier Forrestal, on which construction was begun last Ju > at the Newport News Shipbuild ing and Drydock Company, in Virginia. JUST IN TtME (Sanford Herald) Ed Brandon tells that one tune as he was driving down the street in his home town of Knoxville, lervn. a cat van-right ;n the path of his car. He applied the brakes but not in time. Ed got out and went up to the door of the house from which the animal had come and said to the ladv who answered his knock: I am sorry but I ran over vour cat. But I want to replace him. The woman nodded brusquely, “Get' busy," she said, "there s a mouse in my pantry. ^ ^ pointed out. It is quite appaient from the product that the largest automobile company in the world is anticipating one of its biggest years in 1953. The date for showing the new Chevrolet* has been announced as January 9, and Mr. Edwards is already making plans for a dis play ol the car here. He is confi dent that interest in the new mod el will draw record-breaking crowds to his showroom here on Washington Street.
