DRIVE WITH SAFETY . There huts been lots of wrltini , about the enormous death rate ot American highways from automobil. accidents in the past year.- This traf fic slaughter Is worse than war. Dieting the past 15 years 244,357 havi been killed in wars and during tin same time 441,'Jt2 have been killet on ^American Highways. Something should be done to re duce the number of deaths from this source, and it is a distinct honor t< Kings Mountain and to the L<oca Chapter of Woman's Club that Mrs E. W. Griffin has been named at State Chairman of .Safety. Mrs. Grit fin is a lady of ability and leader ship, and every citizen of King! Mountain, her home-town should co operate with her in trying to ellmt nate the killings by cars. Of course, Mrs. Griffin's duties ex tend throughout the etttire State, bu If she could only get the car driven of the Best Town In the State keye< up to the point where each on< .would be a missionary for safe an< courteous driving, we feel like shi had not labored in vain. If only on< life cftn be spared by Mrs. Griffin'j untiring efforts, sheV will be wel i " paid. Let's help Mrs. Griffin in her figh to save lives. Drive carefully.

For a sound, thorough clean-ti process is one of the best possib ways of getting rid of fire hazard A town which rlda itself of old, u: used buildings, and which does awa with litter and grass-ridden lots, b comes a far safer place in which t , live and work. Clean-up week should not stop i exteriors, but everyone should f through his home inside as well < out In search of fire dangers.

B The Scnlcr Class. 1 (By Vera Phifer, member of class e of 'Sit) 1 ; a I?????????? I Jefferson's Birthday > fly.RAYMOND PITCAIRN Rational Chairman I Sentinels of the Hepnblic "The immortality of Thomas Jefferson does not lie in any one of his achievements, but in his attitude toward - mankind." t Again, as we observe the anniversary s of his birth, Americans recall that tribute to the author of our Declaration of Independence. What was his attitude? What would 1 It be toward the problems of today? Jefferson's own recorded words answer t such questions. 5 He believed whole-heartedly in the t. voice of the average citizen in gov ernmciii. > "That government," he said. "Is the 1 strongest of which every one feels him' scil a part. "I consider the people who constitute a a nation as the source of all authority in that nation." He believed in the constant vigilance e of the people over their government. "Every government,"'he wrote, "deK,: aerates v.hen trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people thom'* < therefore, are its only safe de-' pesitories; . s "Whenever the people are well-informed and,things gel so far wrong as , to attract their notice, they" may be relied upon to set them to rights. "It behooves our citizens to be on 9 their guard, to be firm in their prine ciples. and full of confidence in themiclves." d He believed in the American idea of ba'anced powers in government. "The principle of the Constitution," he declared, "is that of a separation of Legislative, Executive and Judiciary functions, except in cases specified. u "If the three powers maintain their >t mutual Independence . . . our govcrnd ment may last long, but not so if either . can assume the authorities of the other. a "It is not by the consolidation or concentration of powers, but by their distribution that good government is ? effected." - iie Deiievea in me power of Conpress ie as a direct representative of the will of It the people. "The authority of Congress," said is Jefferson, "can never be wounded without Injury to the present Union." The American people remember those admonitions. They have demonstrated * this by protests, both recently and In n the past, against usurpations of power, [j. or the surrender of their own or their ip representatives' voice in government. )e And that Is as eloquent a tribute to Jefferson as any uttered by great ' orators, niy ' Than**. 0 Say, "I saw It In The Herald."
