Psalms 66:2. LET'S KEEP THE BAND GOING We were very proud last spring when our own Sylva High band participated in the commencement exercises and again on the Fourth of July when the boys and girls led the street parade. And we felt honored when Bryson City asked our band to play for their parade on the Fourth. The business men who contributed to the band fund last winter felt that that the money already given will not be lost. The parents, too, are anxious that the instruction be continued as they were out considerable money for instruments, etc. Then our boys and girls, who should be our first consideration and who work ed and practiced while they had the op portunity, want to continue in the work. SVe owe it to them, and all others who wish to join the band, to do all we can to secure an instructor again this year. LIVE AND LET LIVE When you drive up to the service sta tion for gas or oil, you are thereby ex pressing confidence in the operator and his employees. If you did not trust them, you would not want them to "fill 'er up" and you wouldn't have their oU put in your car. But you do trust them: you know their gas and oil are products their companies stand behind; you trust them to air your tires to the proper guage; they lubricate your car; they do what you pay for. And have you stopped to consider the little courtesies they do which you do not pay for . . . clean your windshield, your mirrors, your windows, and think of the times they've listened to that "queer sound of your engine," tried to fix that tail light that wasn't burning, the times they've put water in your radiator and batteries, and ? num erous other little favors to which they replied, "O, no charge for that." To be sure these service stations and their employees are in the business to make a living. But this is not all they're doing: by their competent services they are assisting prevention of highway ac cidents. In this issue of The Herald is an advertisement, "For Your Safety," of the series of the National Highway Safety Program. Only six service sta tion operators were approached as pros pective sponsors for this advertisement jmd not one refused . . . another proof of Ibeir interest and part in helping cut down the highway accident toll of our ?State and Nation. .Besides these-service stations, name ly, $hell Service Station, Cogdill's Esso Service Station, Fisher's Gulf Service Station, Lewis Esso Service Station, Central Esso Service Station, and Cen tral Shell Service Station, sponsoring the advertisement this week, other firms having a part in assisting the State and National Safety campaign by being spon sors for the program are Mead Corpora tion, Cannon Brothers Gas and Oil Co., Holden's Service Station, Gulf Oil Cor poration, Dillsboro and Sylva Electric Light Co., Sylva Supply Co., and Jack son County Bank. Let us heed the messages our business men are sponsoring through these adver tisements. Let us do all we can to save our lives and others'. UNIFORMITY SPELLS SAFETY No sympathy, can be spared the au tomobile driver who, through careless ness or deliberate disregard of safety or Jraffic regulations, is involved in a fatal traffic Inside Washington Special to Central Preaa WASHINGTON ? Henry A. Wallace is flirting with the idea of forming a third party before the 1948 elections. But whether he makes the jump or not de pend on how he figures out the prospects. Those who have watched the ambi tious Iowan say he will not hestitate to unfurl a third party banner if he thinks he can rally sufficient followers to have a chance of picking up aomo fiaats in Cnn gress. This would give him representa tion in the national legislature, plus what he might consider a chance at the White House in the long pull. Wallace has been recalling with appar ent nostalgia how he joined the third party, the Progressives, of the late Sena tor Robert LaFollette of Winconsin after the death of his father, Henry C. Wallace, who was agriculture secretary in the Coolidge cabinet. MARSHALL'S RETICENCE ? Sec retary of State George C. Marshall is showing considerable aloofness toward the correspondents who follow foreign affairs and regularly cover the state de partment. But he is welcoming an op portunity to outline his foreign policy in speeches to small groups. Marshall holds fewer news confer ences than any secretary of state since World War I?fewer even than Cordell Hull did during the trying days of the recent war. Marshall's attitude is attributed largely to the time required to master details of the mass of work handled by the department. CIO RAID ? Allan Haywood, CIO organizational director, and Henry May er, Wew York attorney for several phone groups, are being blamed by independent telephone unions for the CIO decision to "raid" their ranks. The National Federation of Telephone Workers charged that Haywood made a deal with long-line telephone unionists in launching the CIO organizational drive. The NFTW called the action "the most stupid move made by the CIO in recent years." GOP SPENDING PROGRAM ? Straws* point to a possible loosening up of the tight-fisted GOP economy program the 1948 session of Congress convenes next Jan. 3. Observers say the Republicans will not be so anxious next year to whack huge sums from President Truman's budget estimates, what with the White House at stake in the November elections. Forecasts are that substantial sums will be voted for farm aids and soil con servation, as well as for western reclama tion and power projects, all of which have been hard hit by House appropriations cuts this year. automobile into another one or ran down a pedestrain because he did not know the traffic regulations of the locality in which he was driving at the time. This can easily happen. It does hap pen daily?^especially during these months of tourist travel?because of the amazing lack of uniformity in traffic regulations throughout the nation. Dif ferences in regulations and traffic con trol devices make for confusion and mis understanding which increase fatalities on our streets and highways. Tourists often don't know what to expect in arm signals, light dimming and other rules, with the result that they innocently be come involved in accidents or violations while acting in good faith. Speed limits vary from state to state, a right-turn arm signal in one state means left turn in another, SLOW and STOP signs in one region look like route mark ers in the next. The unhappy motorist cannot be expected to memorize the! varying rule books of 48 different states, j What, then, can be done to help the individual driver reduce highway acci dents an dsave lives? An important and much needed step is a concentrated ef fort to standarize traffic laws, so that we shall have greater uniformity and more consistent enforcement. We must bring order to our confused and variable systems of traffic regulation. The time and effort expended by state and local legislative bodies in mak ing their traffic control conform with that of other states would be well justi fied if even one of the many lives lost could be saved by such actions. The cost would be insignificant in comparison with the two billion-dollars in economic" ON OUR WAY! The Everyday Counsellor By REV. HERBERT 8PAUGH, D. D. "It's your thinking that starts you drinking and makes you stinking." These lines were given me by a member of the Alco holics Anonymous, that organiza tion which is doing more to re store chronic alcoholics to sobriety and clean living than any other. Growing very rapidly over the entire country, the A. A. has dis covered much about the psychol ogy of the chronic and habitual drinker. They have taught me' much about alcoholics. The lines given above are not exactly correct. It's not "thinking", but "bad think ing" that starts a man or woman on the road \o alcoholism. And not who drink alcoholic beverages become- addicts who are a plague to themselves, their families and to society. But they all commence the same . way?social drinking, and occasionally medicinal drink ing. Some stop there and others don't. This depends on their thinking. Habitual and solitary drinking is almost invariably "a<i escape". The drinker is attempting to es cape from reality^-some Situation with which he feels unable^to cope. Sometimes it is a perprrality trait, and often it is a domestic situation. Here is where the 'fbad thinking" Barnes in. The sufferer dwells upon his situation. f The more in tentHr he looks at I it, the larger and haore forbidding it becomes. This is^aiw^y/ the case when we dwell upon our troubles.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 23 ? Oce At this point, religion holds the answer. The A. A. has discovered that; hence their remarkable suc cess . They have, learned to make religion a workable and powerful force in daily living. This is as it should be Jesus Christ inaugurated the Christian religion as a practical and dynamic force for construc tive good in the life of the indi vidual. The apostles and early Christians were outstanding ex amples of transformecTTives. They were men and women who found in God the strength, wisdom and courage to overcome all obstacles. Pentecost was the outstanding ex ample of this in mass action?hun dreds being transformed in one day. Saint Peter was a notable individual exafnple of a man changed from vacillation, confus ion and uncertainty to certainty, happiness, courage and winsome ness. Saint Paul had learned it and wrote triumphantly, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthened me." The man or woman today with a bad life situation can change or overcome it by the same technique used by Saint Peter and Saint and thousands of others since their day?by a definite act of the will and mind in giving their lives to Christ without reservation. The result is victory instead of defeat; Christ-sufficiency instead of a vain struggle for self-suffi ciency; faith instead of futility; happiness instead of despair; Heaven instead of Hell.
