Let's Kill The Rats We are glad to see the people of Jack son county taking such great interest in the proposed county- wide 4 'Rat Killing Campaign", which is being sponsored by the County Farm Agent's office. An ef fective rat killing campaign will be worth thousands of dollars to the county. Rats destroy, and damage great quantities of grain and other food stuff each year. Everyone should cooperate in the drive to rid the county of these pests. Our New C. Of C. Officers . Now that our new president and board of directors of the Chamber of Commerce have taken office everyone should do all they can to help and encourage these men in their work. To begin with they have accepted an all-too-true thankless job and all the cooperation we can give them will be a big help in putting over any program of work they may undertake. Mr. Picklesimer and his retiring board - have done a fine job and rendered much unselfish service to the entire county. They are to be heartily thanked and com mended for their efforts and accomplish ments. Far-Reaching Program "Your State . . .of North Carolina has one of the most outstanding Highway Safety programs in effect in the world today." These are the words of L. C. Rosser, commtssioner of the State High way Safety Division, in announcing the' beginning of mechanical inspection of all motor vehicles in the State. This program is for "Your Safety". One of its most vital provisions is for periodic mechanical inspection of all motor vehicles registered in the State. The inspection law was passed by the 1947 General Assembly and went into ef fect January 1. It provides also that every motor vehicle in the State must be inspected once during 1948 and twice a year thereafter. The purpose of periodic inspection is to discover any maladjustments in the vehicle that might become a link in a cycle of events leading to an accident, and by removing the link to prevent the accident. Satistics show that 65 per cent of all vehicles are found to be unsafe if their upkeep is left to the individual owner. Around 17 per cent of all traffic accidents are traceable to faulty equipment. Un necessary operational cost of each ve hicle due to unsafe mechanical conditions amounts to millions of dollars each year. Motorists in ohtre states where inspec tion laws are already in effect have testi fied to the fact that it is generally less expensive to have cars checked regularly than to wait until a break-down occurs. While we may feel that the trouble we will be put to to have this inspection made is burdensome, we should appreciate the service offered by the State in providing the mechancial inspection "Safety lanes" to assist lis in keeping our cars mechani cally safe. Russia's Joe* Stalin has returned to his desk from a vacation sporting a deep coat of tan, says a Moscow report. Apparently, the sun refused to be vetoed. Eager that a peace treaty be concluded Austria sent bottles of wine to the diplo mats. To be swallowed, no doubt, after and not before signing. Now there's $ coin-operated quiz game. Put in a slug instead of a coin and, we imagine, you'll get a phoney answer. INSIDE WASHINGTON WASHINGTON ? Lord Inverchapel, the British ambassador, is establishing himself as one of the most reticent mem bers of the diplomatic corp^, in sharp con trast with his predecessor, Lord Halifax. Halifax, regarded as austere before be ing named to the Washington post," be came an outstanding mixer with all ele ments of American life during his tenure. His ambition was to eat at a hot dog stand. ? Contrarily, Inverchapel had thejname of a "Hail fellow well met" while ambassa dor to Moscow, but he dried up when he came to Washington. m Intimates attribute it to InverchapeVs naturally retiring nature. They say he likes to meet a few people intimately, but dislikes chance encounters. He has adopt ed one annoying technique which labels him as a "prima donna" with some State department personnel. When the ambassador calls at the de partment he studiously avoids going to the diplomatic reception room. Instead, he is driven in his Rolls-Royce to the pri vate garage under the building and takes the private, automatic elevator to Secre tary George C. Marshall's office. No one knows how he discovered the elevator and there is no operator to tell Inverchapel it is for Marshall's private use. In consequence, he sometimes breaks in on top officials entirely unannounced. MEYERS CASE WEAKENS ? The Justice department reportedly is running into complications in its handling of the Maj. Gen. Bennett Meyers case. Attorney General Tom Clark announc ed after the Senate expose of the retired Air Force general and former procure ment officer that his department would ,go after Meyers on war fraud and other charges when the perjury action was completed. However, Clark neglected to consult with his ace case-makers who are finding the Meyers trail so befogged that it may be impossible to work up an effective case. Conviction of perjury and inducement to perjury would jail Meyers for at least 10 years and result in a $10,000 fine. He already has been stripped of his decora tions and a $500-a-month Army pension. REECE AND THE YOUNG TURKS? Political observers in Washington are dis counting reports that the pressure of GOP "Young Turks'' on Capitol Hill may force the resignation of Republican National Chairman Carroll Reece. The so-called "liberal" Republican senators and congressmen, for the most part "freshmen" on the Hill, are after Reece's scalp on the grounds that he is pursuing a "non-constructive, negative and reactionary" policy. They contend that Reece will weaken the party's chan ces of victory in 1948. Reece, however, has a firm grip on the GOP helm, especially as long as Ohio's Bob Taft remains a main contender for the Republican nomination. FRUIT JUICE PROBE? The Agricul ture department is beginning'soon a broad research program to develop new and wider uses for citrus fruit. The reason ? rapidly increasing citrus production de mands more outlets for the fruit. Back of the department's program is the desire for the manufacture of citrus powders that are of high quality, wide usefulness and keep better. Another aim is to "isolate and identify" the volatile flovoring elements of fresh orange juice so as to retain it in commer cial packing. The experts also hope to find a way to recover pear juice which now is lost in canning of this fruit. A reader wants the "volga Boatman" song, once so popular, to be broadcast on the radio. Might not work ? how could we hear him through the soundproof Iron Curtain? Glass nails are on the market. Now the clumsy amateur carpenter can not only whack his thumb but also get a sliver in his eye.

What, no horn and wind shield wiper? RUNAWAY Pkicu, RUNAWAY STATESMEN ' The Everyday Counsellor By REV. HERBERT 8PAUGH. D. D. Most of us have to learn the hard way, that true happiness in life can only come when we put God first. Of the many Christmas cards and letters which I received, one brought rne special satisfaction. It was the "pay off' for many hours of counsel i n g and many weeks of prayer. The sender was one who had been a victim of acute alcoholism. He i started drinking! in his teens, and by the time he was thirty hel was a confirmed alcoholic of the I worst kind. Finally, in despera tion he caitie to me. I tried to tell him that the only way to victor ious and happy living was God's way ? "yield his life fully to his Lord, trust Him completely, and seek strength and guidance for daily living, one day at a time." For some weeks I had not seen nor heard of him. Then this Christ mas card came, and on it was this J message, "Yes, I am beginning to enjoy living. I have found it works, if you put God first." This is the basis of the program ' of Alcoholics Anonymous ? God first, and a full yielding of the will 1 to Him. Most of us have this struggle, and it is by no means limited to alcoholics. We are living in the midst of an increasingly selfish world. Men and women are say ing to themselves, "What's in it for me?" A whole host of new ill nesses, brought on by seliishness of modern life, are crowding our hospitals.

CREOMULSION I For Coughs f Chest Colds, 6 ronchitis eases which are spiritual in origin. Worry and tension can and do produce acute and painful physi cal disorders. Such are called func tional diseases, Avhich means that their bodily functions are out of balance and unhealthly. I am en countering these unfortunates all the time. They crowd our physi cians' offices and hospitals. They crowd the offices of the psychia trists. Most of them have basically the same ailments ? they are try ing to live their lives with God left out. They worry about their finances, their health, their dear ones, their job. And worry exacts a dreadful toll. When you go to your doctor with some ailment and he can find no i organic cause, it's high time to look at your spiritual life and to put God first. Then, like this young man, you may make a new discov ery and can say, "Yes, I am begin ning to enjoy living. I have found it works, if you put God first." PERSONALS Miss Bertha.
