It is a fine law regulating the sale of mar riage licenses. It is in keeping with the pro gress wmcn has carried tfle Nortn Carolina Board of Health forward in health work of the nation. But it is a case of giving your children good advice, and having them lead off by the neigh bor's broods. For Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee have no such res trictions, and the couples are flocking over the line to take their vows. We thought the record in Haywood was startling enough, but now comes the com plaint from Ashe County, that while they sold 235 licenses in 1938 they sold only 45 in 1939, and they were in the spring before the law wtnt into effect in April. We would hate to see the law repealed so we hope that some smart legislator will know how to amend it so that the couples will have to get married at home. At least he would stand a good chance running for a state office afterward, for he would get the vote of one huadrtd register of deeds and their followers. ing. The local women's groups, the Woman's club have also had their share in the work. The National League of Women voters, the American Home Economic groups, and dozens of others have followed in the work. Large numbers of women consumers have taken advantage of the' invitation in the law to assist the secretary of agriculture in set ting up certain food standards. At a recent reauest women even hroinrhr their babies to a hearing called to advise the Secretary of Agriculture on what ice cream! should "reasonably" consist of. j One of the results of the women's activi ties may be the disclosure of the ingredients' of the popular Coca-Cola. Twice in the last 30 years the food and drucr administration has seized and analyzed shipments of the drink to investigate the possibility of a drug content, but it has never found sufficient grounds for prosecution. It is said that products whose labels are embossed or blown in the bottle have an extra six months to conform to the Food and Drug Law. False bottoms in candy boxes, cans of peas and tomatoes that are not filled generously, cartons much too large for tiny bottles of vanilla they may contain, are all tabooed irom now on. In other words when you put cold cream on your face at night or powder your nose ycu can know just what went into the stuff. If there i3 any drug of forming a habit nature in any food or drink warning will be printed on the package.

CContmued from pa:,coir OIT YOUR HELP IS NEEDED Plans are going forward for another cele bration of the President's birthday with a ball and also collection of dimes for the fight against infantile paralysis. No mother or father can refuse to contri bute something to this great cause, for there are few diseases known to man that starts terror in the hearts of parents quicker than the thought of infantile paralysis and its far reaching results. This year the need seems to have increased, and in recognition a larger per cent of the funds raised are to be kept in the commun itiesfifty per cent this year against smaller amounts of other years. Infantile paralysis is no respecter of per sons. It may attack the child that has been shielded by the love and care of all that home and loving parents can give. No family or community is free from the danger of an attack of this great destroyer of life and its crippling results. ; In thi3 county, the money that is kept, is used to buy braces and other supplies for the children who are brought to the crippled clinic, which is held each week at the Hay wood County Hospital, with the doctor in charge giving his services free to those who need it ; The increase in the number of cases in thi3 country i3 a distressing fact. Last year four times as many cases of infantile para lysis were reported during the summer of 1939 as there were during the same period of the preceeding year. Nearly 7,000 cases were recorded during the first 47 weeks of the year as against 1, 700 for the whole country in 1938. Organizations are being set up in the coun- ties in this state, as throughout the nation Included in the drive in this county will be various parties celebrating the President's birthday, a March of d and birthday greetings to the president, with Ames, attached,, as well as the grand ball in Canton. "DEATH AFTER DARK" According to the National Street anH Hio-h way lighting Safety Bureau, night driving accounts tor bO per cent of highway fatalities In view of the fact that only one-quarter to one-third of the traffic is moving after danc, tnese ngures hold an alarming warn ing to those who ride at night. The Bureau claims that more could havp been done to decrease the accidents after dark, if accident research and safety educa tion nad recognized the fatal handicap that inadequate visibility places on the motorist and pedestrian when night falls. The Bureau points out that the inability to see in the dark is one thine that wirinnf be blamed on the motorist, the remedy lies in providing adequate visibility. Automo- uue luaiiuxacturers, m adopting the new sealed beam" lighting system as sUndard equipment on almost all makes of cars, have contributed materially to safer night driving, it is claimed. It is also pointed out that the majority of night accidents occur in main citv thnmno-h. fares and in the heavily traffic districts.

Americans must be "getting very soft" if how they spend their money is any indica tion Recent reports show that less than one-half the money spent by Americans goes for the so-called necessities of life. Around 55 percent is used to buy goods or services that are usually classed as luxuries, or at least not essential to health and life TLME TO TAKE CENSUS With the ushering in of 1940, will come the census taker. Already enumerators have started to taKe the census of business and manufacturing plants, which will be complet- cu in aoouc six montns. On April the first the census nf rAn..iof;rt agriculture and housing will start, and be completed m a surprisingly short time we are told, by those working for Uncle Sam in this aepartment. More than one city is impatiently waiting v vxvw uver us nvai in tne matter of popu lation, if it makes a better showing in 1940 lui nam oacK in 1330. we recall how Char- iy.J0 much to the surprise of the average wiiu varoiinian.
