Every willing to render assistance to any me in need, his life was one of service to his fel low man. A Service Well Performed Well done, thou good and faithful servant,' is i t i if the most valuable expressions that can come i my person when the time of his departure is at hand. V. believe these words can well be said of Mr. J. Gatlin, retiring auditor of Washington county. I . every point, he was always diligently looking a: r the county's interest, and kept things in good si, i. in accordance with the direction of the law. A. it wras in the spirit of economy that the change wa; made, Mr. Gatlin having served his county and i’ ople well during the past four years. ( t course economy is one of the necessary essen t! i the times; yet, it sometimes proves costly. H ver. in this case, the people are fortunate that a . - ge part of the work handled by Mr. Ga'din will b dime by one of the countv s most faithful and ef fi t citizens, Mr. Geo c W. Hardison, who may b l asted to perform a service that will call forth, at h irement, the same v, -rds, "Well done, thou g d and faithful servant. -bless Urged To Remain at Home i! have no job, remain at home, is the advice ^ g; n :'. the various travelers aid societies through oi tl a country. M my of the jobless might as well make up their rr that their next job will be of their own crc a r. and not by the other fellow. Every job in the o •.•;>. is now being held down tightly, and some h t vo men sitting on them when one would do. A titer change is going b take place in this coun ts People are going to stop feeding folk' to do There is i. living for every strong man who v i \ rk It is apparent now that those who have li ,1 without work are going to land on the rocks ere long. in His wisdom, made man strong enough and n da die earth good enough for all to dig a living oat o’ it. And working it out ourselves is the short en i . to prosperity. All the Lines Have Weakened \ve grieving over mu money only? i we hear people speaking of the times, they rif . ways speak of the need for money. It is o- aaslonally that we hear one bewailing the n or actual necessal- of life. Occasionally some one -a\s he is hungry or mother is short on clothing, oat those cases are not so many. This thing v.e all ‘'depression' does not apply to mone\ only We have almost come to the point of money bank;-. Hey. It is a! > true that we have other weakn.- W e have over - • ted our moral stand ards. ar.il . I too far a he. . n other activities of a degr.el nature. If i was the only thing we had 1 n. it would not be s t bad. The lines have all weakened, aid when we ocmi to build up out fortunes, w, wili have lots of repairing to do other than to our finances. We niu-t rebuild the entire structure, r t merely the financial side, but every thing that mums honest, sepia > and dependable men and women. We Fail To Profit By Experience It is one the strangest things in life that each generation n: pe nile think so little of the ideas of their predecessors. Only a few people will agree that the past gener ation of people did very many things right. We get the conception that the world moved along in an im perfect swagger or drag until we got hold of it and reined it straight down the road. We cherish the inheritance 01 the lands and bonds more than we do the true live- and sacrifices of our forebears. One of our great troubles in life is our failure to conserve those lessons taught us by thos, who have gone over the road ahead of us. We seem to prefer to discard everything that we find, whether good or bad, and set our own course and build anew, whidi has some commendable features. Old ideas may not always lit in the grooves of modern progs e. , but generally they furnish mighty good ground, t build on. As an instance, we might offer the . era custom of child obedience, which was the fit stepping stone to the success of many notable m n. It is certainly a mistake to discard child obedience, because it will be impossible to find anything a good to put in its place. The generation of people which wants to discard the past and rule the future is unwise. What we need to do i- to hold our link in the chain tight, and not get the idea that we are the only link. What'll Be Done to Make Roads Safer? As the opening of the legislature draws near, the people of North Carolina are wondering what measures, if any, will be enacted to reduce the dangers of tra vel on the highways. The toll of deaths and injuries mounts higher and higher, and the reading of the rec ord day by day in the newspaper keeps the slaughter constantly in the public mind. It seems to us that the first essential, in a remedial program, is the enactment of a driver's license law. There are too many incompetent and reckless per sons tearing along the roads at high speed and en dangering their own lives and others. Nobody ought to be allowed to drive a car without undergoing an ex amination and receiving a penr.it from the state. Not only should good eyesight and c mpetence to manage a car be required, but every applicant for a license should be made to give evidence of a decent charac ter. The feasibility of a driver's license law has been dem onstrated by the experience of other states. It does not lay any burden upon the public treasury, because the levy of a small license fee covers all the expen.-'es of examination and administration. And the law con stitutes a powerful weapon for the state in its effort to compel proper caution on the highways. For, viola tion of the speed limit or other rules of the road may be punished by a suspension or revocation of the li cense. Of course a driver's license law is not going to bring about any sensational decrease in the number of cas ualties. We can not expect any mriaculous results from it. But at least it will be a step in the right drection. We believe, too that the highway patrol force es tablished by the 1929 legislature should be expanded. It now consists of 37 men, obviously far too small a number to patrol the state highways adequately. North Carolina has an investment of around $200. 000,000 in its highways, and ordinary commonsense demands that this investment be well protected and that its usefulness ire kept at the highest possible level. Even in this time of depression, the legslature would be justified in at least doubling the personnel of the patrol.—Chapel Hill Weekly. An Announcement!
