February 24, 1944 Don’t Be Careless Our men on the fighting fronts aren't careless. They can't afford to be. Well, then, let us not be careless on the home front. We’re talking about carelessness with fire in the woods. Each year some 28,000.000 acres of woodlands are burned over in the south alone. These fires dam age precious wood needed by our fighting men. Don’t start a woods fire. When you bum brush this spring, take every precaution- not to let fire escape into the woods. Don't let your carelessness aid the Axis. -• A Plea For Brotherhood By Ruth Taylor “Almighty God, we make our ear nest prayer that Thou will keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou will incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to gov ernment; to entertain a brotherly af fection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the Unit ed States at large.” It is fitting that Washington’s prayer after his inauguration should be the prayer with which we cele brate Brotherhood Week. Our na tion was founded upon the principle which is the foundation of all mono theistic religions—the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. We gave allegiance to this credo when we accepted as the cornerstone of this republic, the declaration that all men are created equal. Consider the prayer of our first president. He prayed first for di vine protection for the United St. N'ext for the willingness of Americans to submit themselves to the laws which they themselves should make, to the will of the majority, and last ly he prayed that they have brother ly affection and love for one another as fellow citizens. Here was no mention of race, creed or color. Here were drawn none of the differentiating lines of the Old World. He prayed to the Father of all mankind that His children might recognize their kinship and display the spirit of brotherhood. Our need for brotherhood is even greater today than it was when the republic was founded. If we are to survive as a nation, if we are to take our proper place in the world of nations, we must have brotherhood— not a condescending charity toward those whose ancestry, faith or work is different than ours, but a whole hearted acceptance of the kinship of all right thinking men, of the brother hood of man under the fatherhood of God. America is made up of all races and creeds, but Americans if honest, must respect individuals for what they are, regardless of color or creed. The strength of brotherhood is the strength of love. If we as individuals cannot get along with our neighbors, how can we ever hope to live peace ably with other nations. Prejudices and bigotry are the subterfuge and the foundation of all wars. The full expression of brotherhood is the Golden Rule which has never been surpassed as the most practical rule of life and as the only basis for peace on earth. As we celebrate the birthday of the father of our country during Brotherhood Week, let us pause to pledge ourselves again to that Golden Rule of Life—“There fore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” -$ Mathematics May Get You Smithfield Herald The toll of accidents in the United States in 1943, according to the Na Cyctopt - • ono-oyod ptont ef andont logond, rumortd to hay boa* a yry tough dtiioa. 1 CVGN <Y<ini>< <HIPM> SEE IT , See what? f That electric rates are much lcwer new I they used to be. Come again? It’s the truth. The average family gets about twice at much electricity for tie money at it did 15 years ago. Quit clowning! Seems to me my bill gets bigger every year. Know why, don’t you? Because all along you’re using more service, more appliances—to make home life easier, more efficient. For example, you’re using an electric range now, aren’t you? Sure. Got it — oh, five years ago. And a washing machine for your wife? Yep. No horse-and-buggy days for us. 1 And didn’t you buy an electric refrigerator back in those dear, dead days before the war, when there were such things? And a couple of ) electric fans one hot summer? Okay, okay. You win. No—you win. You win the greatest household and industrial servant of them all—electricity. f And at rates that have stayed down while the cost of living — as it always does in wartime — has gone up.

W. B. Daniels, Jr. True Prayer— In a sense, it maj truly be said thal any offering to Goc is prayer. Public worship, devotiona: reading, charitable deeds, work for a worthy cause—all or any of these may partake of the qual ity of prayer if they are made an offer ing to God. But there is a very large Over and over again, people or ac tive temperament will tell you that they prefer to be doing things rather than saying prayers. After all, they ask you, what's the difference: work is prayer, isn’t It? It may be, or it may not be. Prayer involves a recog nition of our dependence upon God. The best of good works performed without any consideration of God have nothing to do with prayer. They are not even religious. They are pure ly humanitarian—transactions be tween man and man with God omit ted. Some people may be satisfied with that, but let them be clear in their own minds that they have dis pensed with religion. An increasing number of people are not satisfied with such humani tarianism. They want a reason for their good works, which often brings discouraging results. God provides a reason. For His sake, it is always worth while to do good. But this means mat our activities must oe re lated to Him. They must be offer ings impregnated with the spirit of prayer. Prayer and good works go to gether, the former providing motive power for the latter. Therefore, we must know something about prayer. The idea that prayer is a pious cus tom of not practical significance needs to be buried a long way out of sight. Who was the busy man who remarked, "I have so much to do to day that I must find extra time for prayer”?—Bishop Wilson. tional Safety Council, was 94,500 killed; 9,700,000 injured; and a mo netary loss of $5,0)0,000,000. This includes wage losses, medical ex penses, production delays and dam age to equipment and other property. The fatalities were just a shade under the 1942 toll but the num ber of injuries was three per cent higher. One of every fourteen Ameri cans suffered a disab.ing injury. The statistics reveal that motor vehicle accidents '.aused 23,000 deaths; occupational accidents, 18, 000; accidents in the home 33,000; and public accidents, exclusive of mo tor vehicles, 15,500. It is noted that falls caused 27,000 deaths; bums, 9, 600, and drowning, 7,500. The average perse n will not be impressed by these ngures. Some how all of us expect to escape in juries through accidents, regardless of mathematics and personal care lessness. MACKEYS Mrs. W. S.
