NOTES AND COMMENTS
Your success, if you are wise, does not de
pend upon somebody else.
Can anybody explain why a citizen gives a
politician a valuable gift?
•
Eating, says an expert, is a matter o ftaste.
Yes, and sometimes cash.
Nearly everybody thinks of sin in terms of
what other people are doing.
The progress of a community is in proportion
to the unselfishness of its leaders.
You can’t tell what you would do in an emer
gency until you meet an emergency.
You can’t make driving safe for everybody,
but you can almost makek it safe for yourself.
Not every man who keeps his mouth shut is
a smart man, but very many of them are.
When athletics become more important than
studies, the tail is running away with the dog.
The road to success is travelled by execu
tives who know how to use new plans when
old ones fail.
No community should permit a handful o!
hoodlums to destroy its reputation for good
conduct.
There are grown-ups, with splendid intellects,
who continue to behave as in an emotional in
fancy.
ACCIDENTS IN THE HOME
We are constantly reminded of the danger
which lurks on the highways in the United States
and the number of fatalities we experience each
year on our highways is a national scandal.
There is another danger about which some of
us seldom think, and that is the danger of acci
dents in the home. We are all familiar with acci
dents in which young children are shut up in
refrigerators.
Every year, however, countless others take
various poisons or medicines, which are left
carelessly about in the home, cut or burn them
selves, and suffer a variety of serious accidents.
Thousands are needlessly killed.
It is surprising how many accidents occur in
the bathroom in the home, and in the kitchen.
But, accidents occur in other places, and usually
they are attributed to carelessness.
Safety authorities advise parents, and the
heads of households, to make a precautionary
survey of possibly dangerous conditions in the
home* at least once or twice a year. If you will
take this advice, and remove potential hazards
for all members of the family, especially the
young, you may well prevent a personal tragedy
in vour own home.

Don’t let forest fires rob the
South of our most valuable resour
ces! More than half a millon South
ern families today make all or part
of their livelihood from our wood
lands from lumber, furniture,
pulp and paper, or one of the al
lied forestry industries. Millions
more enjoy the scenic beauty, the
wildlife in our forests. Yet there j
are those who carelessly or mali
ciously burn these woods- .. {he j
careless smoker, the man who 1
burns his land off without taking
adequate protective measures he- ,
forehand.... the irresponsibble I
man deliberately sets fire to other i
folks’ land.
Forest fires destroy timber, wild
life, and leave lands unprotected
against the ravishes of rain and
wind. Join in the fight to reduce
the appalling number of forest
fires that are destroying Southern
forests. Be careful with matches,
lighted cigarettes, and NEVER
set a fire unless you’ve taken ade
quate control measures beforehand.
Remember, every time a forest fire
strikes, YOU get burned.

SEEKS CAREER YOUTHS
President Eisenhower has told
heads of executive departments to
keep an eye out for bright young
men to fill top career posts dur
ing the next ten years.
He*' said in a memorandum that
the Government "faces the pos
sible loss of two-thirds of its top
career managers” during that per
iod.
A survey of 751 career officials
in the top three pay grades, he
said, indicates that two out of
every three will become eligible
for retirement during the ‘6o’s.
Two out of every five will be
I ready to retire by 1963. The figure
did not include any losses because
of death, disability and resigna
tion.

sincere appreciation to our friends
