'NATIONAL 6DITORIAI If IA a ar a. . . . yi.tfiAr7 FRIDAY. DECKMIiKK If), 19 IS Patrolmen vs. Undertakers This newspaper has always been a bitter opponent of drunken drivers. We deem them potential murderers fin our huiiway, and have no sympathy for them bavin" to pay heavily when haled into court and stripped of their driving privileges. Feeling as we do about drunken drivers, you can well imagine our feeling when, dur ing the course of discussing highwav safety with several of our efficient Haywood patrol ment recently, found that they termed "rac ing drivers" on the highways far more dan gerous than a drunken driver. Naturally that makes us feel even more unkindly against racers. Patrolmen pointed out that a drunken driver will eventually hit something that will stop him even if it is an approaching car. A drunken driver's distance is limited, even if of a deadly duration. A racer is far more dangerous, they said, inthat;he is at heart a dare-devil, out for a thrill at any expense. His very nature calls for taking unnecessary chances, at the risk of his own neck and that of rtmncent ones along his route of travel. Patrolmen further point out. that a racer is depending upot. speed and power, while a drunken driver just had to trust in the Lord to get through. Our patrolmen term both groups danger ous and keep a keen eve for them. If vou are either, this ls a friendly tip they will get you sooner or later, unless the under taker beats them to vou. AM2 Haywood Students Hide The School Buses Among the many things we take for grant it i among the public services are the school buses, operated by this state at a cost of live million dollars a year, or an average of $14 per pupil per year. But let's bring the matter closer home right here in Haywood, there are 46 school buses in operation, carrying an average of i.'M'l students daily out of an enrollment of approximately 9,000. This means that more than fifty percent of all Haywood school chil- ! (lien are dependent upon school buses to get to and from school. Nine cents of every school dollar goes to operate and maintain the school bus svstem in this state. At present, almost all the cost i t operating the school buses and all of the cost of re placing them is borne by the state. All of the cost of additional new buses, school bus araLes. and garage equipment is borne by the counties. A special committee studying the school bus situation in the state have recommended that the state share with the counties the costs tor all new buses, garages and equip ment for garages. j The commission felt that the standard for i present school buses are adequate, and that the average bus is in good condition despite the fact that many of them are more than 8' years old. This is just another of several problems which the 1949 legislature will be called upon to solve. The school bus matter is a serious one. Take right here at home, the lives of some 4.800 students, twice daily, are taken into the buses. That is a big responsibility,: and one that will steadilv increase as the stu dent enrollment increases as it has in the past FRin.w.

An Investment In Health Every year at this time we are called upon UUI if 1 to purchase the colorful Christmas TB Seals. , M, these little seals just literally glow with rad- Waviu-N iant health, because after all. thev do ren- resent health, in that the money given for them is used in restoring health, or prevent ing disease. Three-fourths of the money spent for these seals is kept at home, with a major part be ing spent for nourishing food for children j in school lunchrooms. The other large item is medicines for needy and -deserving cases. I This year $20(1 was used from the fund fori paying expenses for the mobile X-Rav unit ! here, which photographed the chests of thous-' Mrs Jamr-s ands of people in the search for anv trace of i,vas '," , , . . , Inn m back l iilin; tuoct cuiosis. The little seals are playing a big part in our health work, and the good they are doing is worth far more than their cost. No doubt this area will buv far more than $500 this vear.

V 3 WASHINGTON LETTER Uy JANE EADS 'Hear That Whistle Blow' Three Things To Do Some motorists have three things they must do in short order to stay clear of the clutches of the law get a 194!) license tag (by January 31); get a mechanical inspection sticker by the end of this year, and if your name ends in E, F or G get a drivers license. AD cars being stopped now by patrolmen are-being warned to have a blue mechanical inspection sticker before January first. This is the law, and its enforcement is being push ed from Rajeigh. The usual last-minute rush is expected to over-run offices and lanes, and that is the reason we are making mention of these "musts" at this time. Hearing the shrill whistle of the deisel locomotives now operating on the Murphv branch to pull long freight trains gives the impression of "big time railroading" through here.
