A total of 250,000 copies of the l new Guidebooks have been mailed to local communities throughout the State, marking the first step in what is expected to be the most comprehen sive and systematic effort the State has made to reduce the huge toll taken by highway accidents. The invitation to the local high schools and organizations to take the lead in the program was extended by heads of the North Carolina Law Enforcing Officers' division of the Institute of Government, who formu lated plans for the effort at a series of eight district conferences attended by more than S00 officers this month. The Guidebooks will be studied In the schools, then taken into the stu dents' homes, and the surplus copies distributed through local officers, civic clubs, and organizations. Each community and group is asked to call the school for copies and to join in the program by putting on safety programs and making safety efforts of its own. Institute oi i ne seiecuuu vi ..... Government guidebook as the basis for the program has met with wide and popular approval In additior to furnishing an excellent analysis of accidents and means for their pre vention, it is perhaps the only Guide book which has been written on th< subject form the standpoint exclusive ly of this State. f The Institute's study also include, a valuable digest of the N'orth Caro Iina highway and safety laws and ! re-print of Pumas' much-taiked about article, "?And Sudden Death, which is staid to take 10 miles of every readers' speed. The heads of the N'orth Carolin Law Enforceing Officers, in charg of the program, are W. G. Friddle o High Point and S. A. Whitehurst c Greenville, president of the State As sociation of Police Chiefs and Shei iffs, respectively, and Capt, Charh D. Farmer of the State Highwa Patrol. Albert Coates is Director c the Institute of Government. The problem of accident preventic and enforcement of the motor vehic laws, it was said by the officers, but one phase of the larger problen of crime prevention and criminal la enforcement, but one which tak more lives than all other crimes p together. The program is regarded as fori ing an excellent introduction to t multiplicity of governmental pre lerr.s which confront N'orth Caroli today and which will furnish t basis for future guidebooks of t Institute of Government.

J., Dec. 6.?If the United States Supreme Court rules against him, Bruno Richard Haupt mann will be allowed to make one last fight for his life by standing face to face in the death house with the only men who can save him and try and convince them he is innocent of the murder of Charles A. Lind bergh, Jr. There will be eight of these men ?members of the New Jersey court of pardons . who hold the sway of life or death over Haupt mann. No court can override them, and it is within their power to free Hauptmann in the face of a jury 1 verdict and appellate opinions to the contrary. These facts became known to- ' night when Gov. Harold G. Hoff man, of New Jersey, revealed that, as a member of the court of par dons, he already had made a secret trip to the death house of Trenton state prison and talked for-an hour with Hauptmann about the crime that shocked civilization. He also has asked the seven other mem- ' bers of the pardons court - to go there and hear Hauptmann plead his own case. Gives Hints For Choosing Colors A great artist once said, "When) the Creator fashioned the humming bird and the butterfly He gave them brilliant colors, but when He created the elephant He made it taupe." The same rule may be used by women in selecting colors for their clothes, said Miss Julia Mclver, as sistant extension clothing specialist at State College. Stout women should select dark, j quiet colors to minimize the size of their figures. For the unusually slim woman there must be no dull, drab colors, no black or dark brown. Black has a slenderizing effect. The slim woman may choose the lighter tones, pastel tints, warm though not brilliant hues. White and the warm colors, red, orange, and intermediates, give the effect of neatness and largeness. Shadowy textures seem farther away or smaller. The colors worn must be consider ed in relation to the individuals col oring. People differ so widely in coloring, Miss Mclver said, that they cannot be classified simply as blondes and brunettes. For this reason it is impossible to recommend certain colors for Blondes and other? for brunettes and consider the color problem solved. The safest way is for each person to try various colors, next to the face, choosing which emphasize the best features without calling attention to bad ones. If the eyes are the best features, while the hair and skin are not so good, do not emphasize the dyes at the expense of the hair and skin. The skin is tli . first consideration, she said.

The company has replaced eight old cars on its electric division with two new rail buses, and it is estimated that the electric divison can save upwards of $30,000 a year by complete re placement with the new type of equipment. The new rail buses cost about $25, 000 each, or approximately twice as much as a highway bus of similar motive power, but as the rail equip ment seats 57 passengers, or roughly twice the number of the highway bus, the cost per seat is approximate ly the same. In addition, the rail bus has a mail and baggage compart- 1 ment. The buses were designed to ; meet the railroad's need for furnish- ; ing a service on suburban lines where first cost per seat mile would be in line with highway equipment. 1 Operation of the A. C. F. rail buses, ? which are powered with 180 h. p. Hall-Scott engines and built of Cor- 1 ten steel and aluminum, was found 1 to cost 18.6 cents a mile before fixed charges, interest and depreciation; after these charges the cost per mile 1 is estimated at about 22 cents. TKTs ' probably is 10 to 12 per cent more per mile than for operating a bus of similar power on highways, while the number of passengers carried is just ' about double. The Norfolk Southern obtained Its } cost figures from operations during ( last June, July and August, and while it is yet too early to determine total | increase in revenue due to the change } to the new type of equipment, the ( company believes considerable traf- ^ fic will be recaptured from highway j competitors. The Norfolk Southern { already has a highway service of ifs own and tickets are made transfera- j ble to the rail buses, allowing pas- } sengers to be collected in outlying ( districts of the city and brought to ( the railroad station. One advantage which railroad ope ration of gasoline-powered cars over highway buses is that railroad gaso line is considerably cheaper.?The Wall Street Journal, Sat. Nov. 16. Attendance Increas ing At The New i Tabernacle ( ? j Texas Evangelist Gives Stirring Lectures < i Evangelist R. E. Griffin, of Hous ton, who is conducting a series of every night services at the New Tab- ^ ernacle, four miles south of Farm- 1 ville and one mile west of the new Tyson Road, is a student of current events in the light of Bible Prophecy. 1 Deep studies from the books of * Daniel and Revelation and special * music are prominent features of these services. The audiences have shown special interest in the singing of the Griffin family Quartet, which includes the ' two small daughters of the evange- J list: Maurine, age 4 and Ramona, 1 age 7. Ramona has been singing ' solos since two years of age. At that , age she sang before 800 boys at the Hutchinson Reformatory in Kansas. A week ago last Sunday they sang before the Death Row at the State j Penitentiary in Raleigh. Thousands of people have heard j Mr. Griffin's lectures in prominent , cities of the western States. The attendance is increasing at the New Tabernacle and an overflow crowd Is expected next Sunday night when the ? following subject will be presented, "Heaven. What and Where Is It? Where Will the Saints Spend Eter nity?" Mrs. Griffin is to sing "The Holy City."

Daors ClosedSy Agency Which Spent 50 Million liquidation of ERA May Leave Thirty Thousand Unsupported j Raleigh, Dec. 6.?The most liberal public agency that North Carolina has ever had closed its doors to the destitute yesterday. Having made its last "dole" pay ment, the North Carolina Emer gency Relief Administration will be liquidated. In the two and a half years of its existence, the NCERA with the aid of'the CWA spent $50,000,000? one-twentieth of a billion?in the State and gave food or jobs to 120,000 relief families at one time. Closing of relief rolls may leave as many as 30,000 families in North Carolina to depend upon the un certain charity of local public and private agencies, it was indicated yesterday by Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, State relief administrator. On the basis of a registration of 33,000 persons eligible for work re lief, WPA officials have estimated that 18,000 will be left jobless after' the WPA provides 42,000 jobs and other Federal agencies, 3,000. However, stated Mrs, O'Berry yesterday, a net total of 19,460 new cases were added to relief rolls from June 1 to November 1. At least 1,000 cases are estimated to have been added in November. With approximately 66,000 cases jn relief in May, the State now has practically 86,000 relief families, in cluding thote employed by WPA md other Federal agencies, Mrs. D'Berry estimated. If 45,000 of these "heads of fami lies" are furnished Federal jubs, it least 31,000 will be left without constant and certain support. More private employment, more work re lief jobs, of course, would reduce his figure. Figures to reveal the accuracy of Mrs. CBerry's estimate will not be ivailable until a complete survey )f all persons employed on public >r private jobs can be made. FOUNTAIN NEWS (By MRS. M. D.

Paul D. Grady, of Kenly, principal speaker at the an nual joint reunion, held in the Meth odist church here Friday, warned them against basking in the sunshine of noble deeds done by their ances tors, of dreaming of future accom plishments of their own children, and urged that they live in the present, and meet the challenge of the past and future generations with the solu tion of the most important of pres ent day problems?that of saving humanity. "The world was swept into chaos by our worship at the shrine of ma terialism," he declared, we do not believe in the aristocracy of wealth but rather in the aristocracy of char acter. We have slipped from our old foundations and lost sight of the ancient landmarks in this industrial era, and we must live, work and strive that we may write a history of the present generation that may reflect credit on those gone before and be an inspiration to those who are to come after us?a family welded to gether not only by blood but by a common and vital interest in human ity. "These family reunions are the finest and surest evidence that the industrial era is passing and that we are wholeheartedly interested in the building of real homes and a nation that will offer to every child born of it that liberty, equality and jus tice for which our fathers died." Asserting that Senator Grady thought the same thoughts and spoke the same tongue of the Tyson-Mays, Mayor John B. Lewis, an expresident of the group, who introduced the speaker, made a motion, which was carried, to adopt the Senator and Miss Mary K. Jerome, soloist of the program, into the family. Mrs. S. C. Carroll, of Winterville, formerly Miss Ellen May Lewis of Farmville ,presided and gave a splen did address, pointing out the glori ous heritage of the descendants and the tremendous responsibility that accompanies such a bequeathment. She designated the foundation stones of the reunion organization as that of Courage?the paramount pioneer spirit, Faith?in God and humanity, and The Will To Do?an outstand ing characteristic of both families. A lovely and appropriate anthem, was rendered by the Farmville Unit of the North Carolina Musical Asso ciation. As an innovation to her regular report, Miss Tabitha DeVisconti of the genealogical committee, called on a member of each family group present for an introduction of his branch of the family and a tracing of his line. Responding were kins men from Raleigh, Henderson, San ford, Robersonville, Greenville, Wil son, Winterville, Snow Hill Kinston, Ayden, Fountain, Washington, D.
