THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1932 BICYCLE RIDING IS DANGEROUS An appeal to school teachers and parents to urge youngsters who ride bickes to keep their machines under control, especially when pass ing or approaching motor vehicles, was made by D. II. Lasley, director of safety of the Caro lina Motor Club. "Many youngsters who formerly rode to school in automobiles that are now standing in the garage on account of exorbitant license and gasoline taxes are now using bicycles," Mr. Lasley said. "These youngsters naturally get a kick out of riding bicycles with their hands off the handlebars. Sometimes they ride with hands in pockets or arms folded." "Most motorists experience fear in overtak ing or meeting bicycle riders, especially those with hands off the handlebars, as the young sters may lose their balance very easily. Motor ists should sound their horn and proceed very cautiously in passing cyclists. "Teachers and parents should stress the importance of cyclists keeping both hands on handlebars and feet on pedals when meeting or overtaken by motor vehicles, in order that the bicycle may be under control. Care along this line may pay big dividends in avoiding tragic and deplorable accidents as it is obvious that a majority of motorists and cyclists have not realized the potential field of traffic mishaps opened up by youngsters riding bicycles that are not under full control." What might have been a serious accident, but for the quick thinking of an automobile driver, happened in front of the post office here recently when a youngster on a bicycle tried to pass between two cars while he was outracing the cars. Just as he got in front of the mov ing cars, he struck one and was thrown into the street, but fortunately the cars were being driven slowly and the boy was unharmed except tor tne iai; to tne pavement which was mostly it sung or nis lianas. Under this same subject the matter of skat ing snould easily be applied. There are entirely iuu inaiiy cnnaren tnat are injured and killed every year because of carlessness while on sKates and bicycles, and the time to avoid such accidents in our community is to warn the o hilrl ren of these dangers now and not wait until they are hurt, and maybe killed. If a warning uuim teacn tnem to be caretul, we suggest that uieir riding devices be taken from them. " BEAUTY Physical and mental beauty are both much to be desired.: However, physical beauty lies not deeper than the skin. What would the beautiful feathered pheasant or the picturesque plumed peacock look like with all the feathers plucked away ? The French poodle is one of the hne looking specimens of the dog family, but just shear him and he becomes hideous. Then there is the old hound with long flopped ears, possessing no color or beauty from a physi cal standpoint, but the best and truest friend I have had was just one of those hound dogs. You could kick him around but he'd come back and lick your hand. To do something for yon was but to understand. Real beauty oftentimes is not to be found behind blended colors but .occasionally in the skull of an old hound dog. Selected. : . Cheer up, there still remains 66 days until Christmas and ten of these are Saturdays. Christmas, this year, comes on Sunday, which we imagine will eliminate- the usual hash and soup dinner that always makes its appearance on the table the Sunday after. ABOLISH THE GRAND JURY Ancient forma of trying accused criminals and of settling legal disputes seem absurd in the light of modern knowledge. , There was Trial by Combat, in which accused and accuser fought with sword or lance, and the survivor won the case. There was Trial by Fire, in which the accused was made to walk over burning 'coals. If he could do it without yelping he might be adjudged innocent. Women accused of being witches were tossed into ponds. If they sank and drowned, the court decreed them innocent. Men accused of murder were stretched on the rack, tortured by the boot, dragged by horses. Superstitions and omens often influenced judges in deciding a man's fate. Later, dawniner civilization bronchf lio-lir to the Dark Ages. Trial by Jury was instituted. The right of trial by a jury of one's peers be came a cardinal point in British common law. The whole history pf legal procedure, as we have seen, is one of trial by error. Outworn, unjust, inefficient methods are discarded for better methods. There has always been room for improvement in the functions of our courts, and there is still room for improvement. Superior Court Judge Hoyle Sink in his cnaige to tne Macon county grand jury in Franklin made a sane and splendid suggestion to improve North Carolina legal machinery and to save the state about six hundred thousand dollars a tar. Judge Sink has, he says, never seen a grand jury perform a task "that was worth a hill of beans." Grand juries, as he points out, never have the opportunity to do more than repeat the work already done by magistrate and by prosecuting attorney. Today, with means of communication so certain and so swift, crimes are instantly reported in most instances. Magistrates and prosecutors have no excuse for sending a man up for trial unless there is reasonable evidence of his guilt. But there is another important function of the grand jury. A grand jury is charged with examining the books of the county, with in vestigating the conduct of magistrates and justices of the peace, with inspecting the poor house, the jail and the courthouse. Yes, but what does a grand jury ever ac complish? Grand juries are never composed of expert accountants capable of auditing the county's books. "I could spend ten days looking at the county clerk's books and I wouldn't un derstand them," said Judge Sink. Moreover, in too many instances, grand juries are influenced by political consideration, by friendship, and in some shameful cases by plain bribery. The uselessness of the grand jury, as wise Judge Sink says, is not their fault. The good men composing such a jury do the best they can. But they are not needed to preform their first important function set forth by law, and they are incapable of preforming the other. Grand J uries, save in emergencies, are as out-dated as Trial by Combat, as Trial by Tor ture, as Trial by Superstition, Judge Sink is right. The grand jury should be abolished. Think of it by discarding a piece of rusty useless machinery, the State of North Carolina can save $600,000 a year. Isn't it worth it? Franklin Press. QUACKS By i I. B. A.

GREENVILLE KLEISER. THE FINDING OF HAPPINESS Entertainment and happiness are quite different things. Distracting pleasures, that take us away from ourselves and our cares for "a time, and that may be very wholesome and good, and happiness are very different things. When the game is over or the curtain is rung down, then we are with ourselves again and the thing that makes for real happiness must be something that has independent abiding and that doesn't really require the showman of any sort to give it reality. Happiness after all is a very homely thing, just as likely to be found in a quiet,, simple place or when one is busy in an every-day duty as it is out in the bustle of the pleasure or the thrill of varied excitement. And it does seem that the more time and energy we give to the attempt to run down happiness in these adventitious ways the more likely are we to miss it altogether. We needn't, and we mustn't, ignore excite ment and variety and change, or scorn them as if they were foes to our real good. They bear their small part in the great and worthy and always difficult task of creating a happy life but it is only a very small part, and giving them a larger pkee for a very great deal of the un happine3s that has crowded the world. Culti vating right moods; disciplining oneself in a kindly spirit and a truly Christian outlook will do more to bring abiding happiness into one's life than all the running here and there and all the doing of exciting things that any favored place in life can make possible. So we really shouldn't speak of findintr hanninoss at nil hut rather of cultivating it, as of ashy and delicate nower tnat needs patience and favoring soil and the kindly dew of heaven for its nnnvisVimoTir And yet that figure is not perfect either, for nappiness is one oi tne strongest and most en during things in all the world. When it ia at its best no blast of possible misfortune can Kiu it. ine wew autlook. From the number of letters recentlv re ceived regarding the work that is being done in Western North Carolina on the matter of tne nve-at-home program, we must realize that we are being looked upon as one of the leading sections of the state along this line. ,We have letters asking for information as to' how the program was put across, and the best answer' we knew w ar. 'i tied cooperation among all citi zens of this pin t of the state. This i not only works in live-at-home grograms, but always wins out in other things. If we'd get the Reds out of-the country, maybe we could get the country outiof the red. Thomaston Times.
