A HIGHWAY MENACE Drunken drivers are on the ram page in North Carolina and con stitute one of the factors contrib uting to the current serious in crease in traffic deaths on the streets and highways of this state, the Highway Safety Division re ported last week. Basis for this report was a re cord number of revocations for drunken driving and considerable increase in traffic deaths caused by drunken drivers. Revocations for January, Feb ruary and March totaled 1,809, the highest three-months total on re cord. Since enforcement of the law relating to drunken driving is more or less constant, an increase in revocations points to an increase in the prevalence of drunken driv ing, officials said. Drunken drivers killed 120 per sons in North Carolina last year, this being 12 per cent of the total of 990 traffic fatalities. Seventeen of the 87 traffic deaths in the state in February of this year and 10 of the 70 verified March fatalities to date were caused by drinking driv ers, according to records of the safety division. Thus 27 out of the 157 fatalities for the two months period, or 17 per cent of jthe total resulted from drinking land driving. This was five ner cent above the 1940 average. "Twenty-seven people were kill ed in this state in February and March by drivers who were foolish enough to think that they could drive safely after taking a few drinks," declared Donald Hocutt, director of the Highway Safety Division. "Of all types of traffic accidents. I know of none for which there is as little justification or excuse as those involving drink ing drivers, ''To this end that accidents of this type may be eliminated as a factor in our accident problem, I appeal to all North Carolina driv ers to refrain from mixing their drinking and driving, and I urge all enforcement officers in the state to be unrelenting and ex tremely vigilant in apprehending and bringing to justice this ruth less killer. the drunken driver." Morganton News-Herald. James Bryson, 83, Buried On Friday Funeral services were held Fri day at Mt. Zion Methodist church for James (Uncle Jim) Bryson, 83, of the Rock Springs section of Hay wood. He passed away at the hos pital here last Wednesday after noon, lollowing an illness oi two weeks, with pneumonia and complu cations. Officiating at the services were Rev. W. G. Nease, pastor of the church, and Rev. R. P. McCracken. Burial was made at the Mt. Zion cemetery. Three daughters survive: Mrs. Joe Chambers, of Iron Duff, Mrs. Mamie Steading, of Waynesville and Mrs. Anderson Massie, of Hendersonville; nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Ninety per cent of the drivers involved in accidents in this state are men. AGRICULTURE AND DEFENSE Apparently' Congress has decided that the farmer will not be "the forgotten man" in national de fense. The largest annual agri cultural appropriation in history was approved last week by the senate appropriations committee which, it is estimated, would add about a billion dollars annually to the income of the farmer. The war has not brought any prosperity to the farmer and farm prices have been low due in part to surpluses. And there is little prospect for any decided increase of farm products for export par ticularly tobacco, cotton and wheat. Hitler has swallowed some of our best customers. Italy is out of the market. England needs guns more than our farm products, South America is not a profitable market at present.

Local police authorities are broadcasting warn ings against a new form of racket the man who poses as a "govern ment agent" and visits credulous families in the rural section and tells that their old age assistance checks are not large enough and that on payment of a fee of $10 he will see to it that the amount is stepped up. More automobile accidents hap pen between 7 and 8 o'clock at night than during any other hour. In North Carolina last year, 331 pedestrians were killed. Wife Preservers "" .

Roy Francis, of Waynesville. Legal beer has become one of North Carolina's biggest taxpayers, and an important factor in the state's business development. The Brewers and North Carolina Reer Distributors Committee has: Provided employment for 1 .'1,420 persons with an annual payroll of $11,928,500; Contributed $,149,04.7(5 in tax es to the state and the various cities, towns and counties of North Carolina; Purchased thousands of dollars worth of trucks, refrigeration units, and other equipment; and, lEetablished a public spirited in dustry program of self-regulation to protect North Carolinians against abuses in the retail sale of beer. Only $183,102.37 wus collected in beer taxes by the state for the calendar year of 1933 the first year beer was permitted to be sold Under the 1933 uct. For the calendar year of 1940, the state colloctt'd $1.32 1, 024.37;- the coun ties $121,125; and, the cities and towns $25,000 a total of $1,407,-, 149.37.
