Members of the department are quite willing to answer these calls, but they point out that all of these blazes could have been prevented with a little bit of care. They tate that grass fires can be dangerous to life and property, and urge every one to be careful in burning trash and see that the flames do not spread. Should these fires happen to get be yond control they are likely to spread to homes and other buildings at a sw'eeping pace that would lead to de struction of the buildings, possibly, before the department would be abld to bring therh under control. It w'as also stated by one member of the department that answering calls for carelessly started grass fires was hard on the equipment and very costly to the department, as well as expensive to the volunteer members who are called away from their work or from their homes. Residents are urged to be more careful, to watch their small fires when burning trash, and to be sure the fires are put out before leaving them. Where grass and weeds have been allowed to grow on nighboring vacant lots it would be well for pro perty owners to have their lots plow ed along the property lines to pre vent fire spreading from these va cant lots onto their property, or bet ter, to persuade the owner of the va cant property to have it well plowed to protect the neighbors on all sides. On Capitol HiU By LOUIS M. CONNOR, JR. SAMUEL HALPERIN (Clipping from The Natick Mass. Paper) Funeral services were conducted at 3:00 o’clock Wednesday afternoon for Samuel Halperin, Wellesley and Nat ick automobile dealer who died last week. Mr. Halperin although bom in New York City, spent the greater part of his life in Natick and Wellesley where h reoganized and conducted The Halperin Motor Corporation, Dodge distributors for this area as well as direct sale agents. His organi zation has conducted branches in Framingham and Marlboro and Mr. Halperin has intreested himself ex tensively in real estate in both towns. He had also recently purchased a large Natick Machine Shop. Mr. Halperin starting on his own two decades ago, working for some time in the Natick Box Shop as a printer, had built his automobile bus iness through his energy and ability, to the point where it was conceded to be one of the largest of the Dodge Distributorships and agencies in New England. Active in the business affairs of both Natick and Wellesley and mem ber of the Wellesley Board of Trade. Mr. Halperin w as aslo a member of Meridian Lodge of Masons, Parker Bosral Arch Chapter, Natick Lodge of Elks, and Wellesley Kiwanis Club. Long a member of the Fin, Fur and Feather Club, he was an outdoor en thusiast lamed for his never failing skill as a fisherman and hunter. The business which he founded and so firmly established will be continu ed under the able direction of mem bers of the Halperin family, both at Natick and Welesley. ’ Samuel Halperin is survived by his wife, •the former Mary Snead dau gatex of Mrs. S. A. Snead and the late Hr. Snead of Raeford, a dau ghter Sandra, his mother, Mrs. Ethel Halperin of Wellesley, and four sis ters, Cdia «md Edith of Wellesley, Mrs. Fred Keith of Dover and Mrs. Anne Dean of Natick. RALEIGH—THE CURRENT RU MOR around Raleigh that President Roosevelt would appoint Governor Broughton as Ambassador to Mexico to succeed former Ambassador Jose phus Daniels has come to a definite end. Official circles denied the rumor all along, but the undercurrent of talk continued until last week when the President announced the appoint ment of the Ambassador to Cuba to take over Mr. Daniel’s post. Some good folks in Raleigh thought that the Governor made two trips to Wash ington last month to discuss the mat ter with the Chief Executive. One woman told me that she had heard that Governor and Mrs. Brou ghton’s trip to Maxico City was pri marily to get acquainted with Mexi can officials. But after all, this town survives off such talk and the air reeks with rumors and speculations. “WE TOLD YOU SO,” some State officials were saying thife week at the announcement that the Duke Blue Devils would go west for the second time and this year play Oregon State in the Rose Bowl. Those gentlemen on Capitol Hill get a big kick out of making football predictions, and they are far from bad. You know, Duke is ‘the ball club that openly opposes bowl games and is in a conference that doesn’t go in for post seasons dates. Nevertheless, I’U take Wallace Wade’ boy’s to bring home the bacon in January . . . and don’t think I’m sticking my neck out. WAR CONTINUES TO BE THE TALK in Raleigh, as it has been over the State for many months, but a more serious note has now been struck. Governor Broughton told his Sunday School Class at the Taber nacle Baptist Church Sunday morn ing that the United States might be at war before they meet again. The Governor didn’t say it would be war with Japan, but that was to be taken for granted. It reminds me of something Senator Bailey said to me in Washington about two and a half years ago. I had been talking with him about the German situation when he suddenly paused, leaned back in his chair, and made a state ment that puzzled me for the time. The Senator said not to worry about Germany yet, that Japan would be the first nation the U. S. would have to contend with. I laughed, I couljdn’t then quite see America at war iwith Japan. However, North Carolina’s chief ex ecutive more than likely has some thing definite on which to base his statement; he has made a number of trips to Washington in the past mon th for conferences with the President. We here in North Carolina probably don’t i realize how close Governor Broughton is to Mr. Roosevelt. STATE EMPLOYEES will get the same thing as a vacation this Christ mas. The Council of State has an nounced that all State Offices will be closed at 1 o’clock Wednesday after noon, December 24, and will not open until 9 o’clock Monday morning, December 29. RONALD HOCUTT, DIRECTOR of Highway Safety, announced this week that eight institutes in safety edu cation and driver training would be held for 78 counties Friday after noon from 3 to 5 o’clock, the pur pose of which is to facilitate the 'teaching of safety in the piiblic school system of North Carolina. “With the appalling increase in ac cidents, it is eminently proper that the educational forces should mobi lize to meet the challenge effective ly,” were the comments of Dr. Clyde A. Erwin, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, on the Institutes this week. He further stated, “These Safety Institutes provide an import ant means whereby school adminis trators an d teachers alike can learn how this primorily educational job can be made effective, and this stag gering loss of life decreased,” The institutes will be held at Bre vard College, Brevard; Appalachian State Teachers College, Boone; Gast onia High School, astonia; Mars Hill Junior College, Mars Hill; Albemarle pigli Sdhool, Albemafle; Guilford College, Guilford Collegfe; Oxford High School. Oxford; Clinton High School, Clinton. THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION announces that 62,000 signs along North Carolina highways, or 70 per cent of the total in the state, have been removed an dthe others will be either destroyed or moved back fifty feet from the center of thA High way within a year. Chairman Ben Prince and Chief Engineer Vance Baise are very pleas ed over the outcome of this new high way project, and the Commission has received surprisingly few objections to the removal of the signs. Dead It is a known fact that none of us are to live on this earth more than just a few years. Whether we choose to give it a scratch of thought or not, it is a mighty big subject and it vitally involves every living person. If I am to stay here for only a few years, then it is of the greatest im portance that I definitely consider everything involved and act wifli all possible seriousness regarding it. Think of it! It is an inevitable thing that you must face. The whole, set-up of your life is soon to be blasted into a thousand splinters. Those whom you love and associate with in the daily concourse of life are to be swept away from you forever. You may think, “It can’t be so. I cannot realize it.” But the fact is real, evident, and must be faced. If you think too seriously on this and have no solution it will drive you crazy. On the other hand to neglect it is your utter destruction for eter nity. So—there it is: the most arresting issue of life. THINK! Do you konw Christ as your Saviour, and as One Who has made you ready to die? Read your Bible.

Chaplain Praises Excellence Of Elk’s Service ^ In a letter to Mrs. Collis of the Elk Restaurant Capt. George Sagen, Chaplain of the 2nd Regiment FARC, at Fort Bragg, extends a gracious thanks to her and the Elk staff for the kind attention which characterizes the service given there, particularly referring to that received by a group of soldiers last week. The letter reads: Dear Madam: I want to take this occasion to thank you for the wonderful way you treated the soldiers and myself when we stopped in your lynch room this afternoon. We could not help but talk about it most of the way back to the Post. If only all the people near the camps would think of the boys as you do and treat them with the same motherly interest, I am sure that all of them would be finer boys and make better soldiers. I am sure that all who visit your very fine restaurant will always re member the kindly treatment they receive. I am certain that you are prompted to do this because of your appreciat ion of what our soldiers are doing and because of your love for our Heavely Father. May God bless you and yours.

We wish for you a most happy and successful season. Very truly yours, L. V. SUTTON President and General Manager Government experts estimate that farms of the United States can fur nish a potential 1,500,000 tons of scrap iron and steel to American steel mills. Cotton is grown on about twq thirds of the farms in North Carolina. Textile manufacturing is one of tha leading industries in this State. Miss wmie N. Hunter, Extension^ ^ clothing specialist of N. C. State Col-,*’’* lege, says the people who grow cot- t ton, the people who manufac , cotton goods, nad all the other folks who indirectly benefit from the pro- sperity of cotton producers and pro cessors owe it to themselves to use cotton product. She suggests: “Let’s make it a Cotton Christmas this year; give pre sents made from cotton, and use this basic agricultural and industrial pro duct in our decorations and other wise.” •Miss Hunter said that shortages in ‘ many other commodities used in gifte' items are already apparent because of the National Defense. “There is a vast surplus of American cotton,” she stated, “and the purchase of Cot ton Christmas gifts will serve a three- folk purpose. “In the first place, cotton gifts willPs^ bring happiness to the recipient; second, it will aid the millions of people who are either directly or in directly dependent upon the product ion, manuafcture and sales of cotton products for their livelihoods, and, in the third place, will contribute to National Defense by relieving the demand for more limited commodit ies urgently needed in the re-arma ment program.” The Extension economist suggested cotton blankets, clothing of all kinds, linens,, and others of the thousands of products made entirely or partly of cotton as desirable Christmas gifts for this year. mi A total of 10,420,000 persons were employed in agricultural work Nov ember 1„ a fuch more than seasonal decline of 1,112,000 workers from the number on October 1.
