Advertising rates furnished by request FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1938 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR WEEK THE RECORD PROVES IT. Evil pursueth sinners; but to the righte ous good shall be repaid. Proverbs 13:21. WE'RE PROUD OF IT Hertford's handsome new postoffice opened without ceremonies Wednes day morning after Postmaster J. Ed gar lorrie and his force worked nearly all niyht in ordr to have operations running smoothly when business began the first day. That is, no ceremonies except the utterances of pride heard on every hand as Hertford people walked in to get their mail or post a letter, and then forgot what they came in for as the elaborate surroundings claimed their full attention for the first ttime. The tall white front columns are oddly suited for an important govern ment building, and the new quarters for the post office ajce. ones for us to be entirely proud of. NW, when a stranger asks, "Where is the post office?" we can say, "It's the building with the tall white columns and the flag." They can't miss it neither can the trafeller, just passing through. It's the most imposing structure on that side of the street.

Umphlett TRAFFIC EXPERT CAUTIONS NIGHT DRIVERS One of the most important jobs in reducing traffic accidents is in getting the driver to appreciate the differ ence between day and night driving, according to Earl J. Reeder, Chief Engineer of the National Safety Council, in a recent issue of the mag azine, Public Safety. Mr. Reeder says that all safety educational agen cies must teach the motorist to plan his night driving to meet the peculiar ities of night visibility. Explaining the relation of light to safety, the traffic expert points out that in the daytime most objects are seen by surface detail in the diffus ed light of the sun. At night, how ever, almost all objects are distin guished in silhouette, and the effectu ation of discernment.by silhouette s one of the most important principles of good street and highway lighting. In the words of Mr. Reeder, "When two drivers are approaching each other, each looking into the other's lights and not watching the edge of the road, it's a matter of the blind leading the blind." Safe driving at night is a challenge to ingenuity and a partnership job, and in his be lief the driver who refuses to de press his headlights is not a partner but an enemy. As most of our roads are at pres ent not illuminated by fixed lighting, these are the precautions which Mr. Reeder suggests to the driver as es sential to safety at night: 1. Watch for objects on the road revealed in silhouette by the head lights of approaching cars. 2. Watch the right hand edge of the road and avoid looking into other drivers' headlights. 3. Slow down at sunset to com pensate for lower visibility. 4. Whenever there is a curve or hill crest ahead, revealed by the oth er headlights, slow down to the prop er speed corresponding to the lack of view of what is around the curve or over the hill. , BELVIDER CLUB MEETS The Belvidere Home Demonstration Club met Wednesday afternoon at the Community House with twenty-two members and one visitor present.
