'; .' , v These figures, we are quite . sure, mean little or nothing to the average reader of The Perquimans Weekly, who looks at the total figure with nonchalance. Few of us imagine that they have any particular significance to us, representing merely the mis fortune that befell others. About one-Jthird of the total fatali ties occur through highway accidents. About one-fourth are attributed to falls. Drowning takes care of about 6,000 Americans. Railroad accidents kills about 2;500 people a year and air transport is responsible for the demise of approximately 2,000. The careless use of firearms cause -the death of approximately 2,300 persons each year. . - -: .- We call attention to these figures to emphasise the fact that mo of the accidental deaths involve individuals who were responsible for the mishap that took their lives. Consequently, we should be on our guard against similar risks. Whether in our homes, in our work places on the highway, we can minimize danger by thinking before acting and by making this a habit.:. ' v The economic wastage of accidental injuries and deaths is stupendous. The total runs into billions of dollars. The individual who happens to toe a victim needs no statistics to remind him, or her that accidents are costly as well as painful experiences. As an individual, you Cannot alto gether guarantee your own safety, be cause it often depends upon the care ful action of others, but you can do much to safeguard your person by tak ing advantage of modern precautions, using your intelligence and training yourself not to take chances of any kind. It will pay, even if you can not prove that you have collected dividends. - By Dr. SepUa 'Brans V" . J Tax Loopholes Should Be (Plugged There may be differences of opinion as to the merit of recommendations made by President Harry S. Truman in connection with the effort to increase the revenues of the nation by an esti mated $10,000,000,000. There should be no argument, however, about his recommendations . that certain loop holes should be eliminated. The President says, 'Those requir ed to bear higher taxes for defense are entitled to assurance that others will not be permitted to avoid them." He does not think that it is right 'o increase the taxes of a man, head of a family, earning $60 a week and per mit "glaring inequities in present law," which, under some circumstanc es, permits a man with a hundred times as much income to avoid paying any taxes at all. , ' .The President stresses the gross un dertaxation "of the oil and mining industries,'' the broad loopholes in estate and gift taxes and the undue "preferential treatment" granted to capital gains. He thinks that these provisions should be studied, "together with those relating to life insurance companies and to holders of securities now exempt from income taxes," and that the tax status "of organisations now exempt" should be considered. . "'(The general declaration o the President should have the support of every American" chiaen; We do not attempt to pass judgment upon details of the suggestion that loopholes be eliminated because none are included in (he tax message to Congress. These are matters to be worked out by the Congress, v What we suggest is that everybody' support Itfte- effort to work them out so that, in connection with defense costs, there will be no de ft rm est from the financial "burdens created by fair and just system of taxation. .

' A ICHAT ABOUT CHILDREN This is a chat about -the most im portant members of the human family, viz, the .children. There are parents who really love their little children, yet are so unwise and selfish that they are ruining them for time and eternity. When people assume the responsi bility of becoming parents they take upon themselves very grave and solemn obligations. Of course, it is the duty of the mother and father to consider the welfare ,of the children before their own. It is needless to say that the meals should be regular and nourishing, and that children should not be allowed to nibble upon dainties and knicknacks between meals. Iff children are properly fed, get suffici ent exercise and enough sleep, they can build sound bodies provided that their surroundings are congenial and happy. Little children should be in bed at an early hour; and if parents drag them around at night, or permit them to sit up until late hours, they are un dermining their health, and getting them into bad bams that will always handicap them. People who have children should face the fadt, and settle it once and for all, that the wel fare of the child comes first in any household. Children should be secure and happy. When they are very young they should be made to realize that their parents love them. No partiality should be shown and no child should be allowed to feel that he is less loved, or less important than any other. The hearts of the very young are sensitive and feelings are easily and deeply hurt Many a young heart has been wound ed by real or. apparent , partiality shown by a parent to one child over another. To a li title child the father and mother are ideal, their models, which they unconsciously copy. Beware of setting your child a bad example and starting him on the wrong road. If you do, it will prove a boomerang that will come back to tear down your own heart some day. When your children grow up, you want to be proud of them. Beware, do not give them cause to be ashamed of you now! God pBty the little child who learns that when father comes in he may be staggering, or act queerly or perhaps threaten him with harshness. He will learn to dread his father's presence. If dad neglects his family and stays out at night, his child may at last come to feel (that there is more peace when father is away. These things leave scars on the child's soul, that no future years can remove. Parents wake up, and remember that to you is committed the solemn task of building characters for time and eternity. Your children won't be with you long. The springtime of life is so beautiful, but also so fleeting. If the farmer doesn't prepare his fields well and plant good seed, he reaps scrubby crops and weeds. It is the same with your children. By example as well as precept must you train them for life. ; ', There is something else to remem ber. When jrour children are- old enough to form their associates, be sure that your relationship with them) has been such that wiey1 will trust you and confide in you. Only in this way can you safeguard or influence them. The home is a very old-fashioned in stitution. It started way back in the "Garden of Eden."'' God told Moses that he must teach the children of Israel to honor their parents. But if they are not worthy of honor, how can they respect, them? A We need more old-fashioned homes in which , to train children, Homes where there are altars for. the wor ship of God, instead of new fashioned bars for the dispensing of alcoholic liquors. Only sterling characters of integrity can rebuild this shaking old world. '':.
