A POWERFUL ALLY FOR SAFETY
Aroused by the frightful record of
traffic accidents and injuries during
1934, 11,000 Posts and Auxiliaries of
the American Legion are uniting in
a 4-point program for greater safety
on the streets and highways. Ac
cording to an announcement from
the National Headquarters of the Le
gion, the efforts of the Legionnaries
will be guided by a handbook dis
xtributed by their National American
ism Commission in cooperation with
the National Bureau of Casualty and
Surety Underwriters. The Legion’s
program includes:
1. Recommendations for uniform
traffic legislation. 2. Plans for safe
ty education among both children and
adults. 3. Recommendations for im
proved enforcement of existing traf
fic© laws. 4. Sponsorship of better
traffic engineering.
Under legislation, the Legion will
recommend the uniform traffic laws
established by the National Confer
ence on Street and Highway Safety
and endorsed by such groups as the
American Automobile Association,
of Motor Vehicle Administrators,
the National Safety Council and oth
ers. These laws are considered by
safety authorities as a basis for cf-
ficient traffic control, and include:
A uniform Drivers’ License Law, a
Uniform Financial Responsibility
Statute, and Uniform Traffic Ordi
nances.
In adult and child safety educa
tion, formation of school boy patrols
to direct pedestrian traffic near
school buildings, establishment of
courses in safe driving for high
schools, and sponsorship of com
munity safety programs, are among
the plans to be urged.
By enlisting the American Legion,
highway safety has gained a power
ful ally.
E'CN’T, DESTROY “NRA," SAYS
JOHNSON
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, fiery first
administrator of NRA, told tlu Sen
ate finance committee that to de
stroy NRA now would be “like burn
ing down •your house to get rid of
a few rats jn the attic."
Johnson at the outset took on his
own shoulders the blame for any
shortcomings NRA might have.
After sketching the faults of the
industrial machinery that made or
ganization of the NRA necessary,
Johnson said:
“iylo not contend that there were
no| serious lapses in the rapidity of
progress (under NRA), that rotten
provisions did not creep into codes,
that personnel was not far from per
fect, that code authorities were
properly organized, that administra
tion had been perfect or even good.
“But I do contend, and 1 think I
can show, that such faults as arose
were due to my bad administration
rather than bad law, that many if
not most of these errors of mine are
in the process of effective correction.
“I am very sure that to destroy
NRA because there are these few
creaky joints in its structure would
be like burning down a house to get
rid of a few rats in the attic.”
BEER IS AN INTOXICANT
An advertisement appearing i:
some of the newspapers says, “Beer
is food and promotes real temper
ance,” but the editor of the Lavonia
Times disagrees with the writer of
this ad. He says:
“Beer is just about as much
as a fig leaf is clothes. The above
slogan used in an advertisement
favoring repeal to be voted on in
Georgia May 15th shows the kind of
put over on the people of Georgia.
One Georgian drank* forty or fifty
bottles of beer during one evening
when beer was licensed to sell in At
lanta a year or two ago, and he
went and ate his supper just the
same.
“Beer is a beverage and an in
toxicant. Anybody who drinks it
for anything else just gets fooled.
And as for its promoting temperance,
nobody believes that except the fel
low who is selling it or the fellow
who wants a semblance of an excuse
for drinking it."
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Fulcher were
guests Sunday of Mr. and Mrs. W.
D. Holliday.

HIGH SCHOOL ROMANCE
IN “GRAND OLD GIRL”
When the irresistible force meets
the immovable object in RKO-Ra
d.iw’s “Grand Old Gril,” the impact
starts a romance.
Mary Carlisle portrays the irresis
tible forc\e ar.d Fred Mac Murray im
personates the immovable object in
this May Robson starring film. She’s
the pampered, spoiled beauty queen
of a small town high school. He’s
the local ice cream truck driver, and
the one boy in Avondale who re
fuses to be added to her list of vic
tims.
It’s a hot fight between her vanity
ar.d his pride until Laura Bayles gets
into trouble.
Laura Bayles, portrayed by May
Robson, is the elderly principal of
Avondale high school. In trying to
rid the town of a supposed malted
milk shop where her students drink
liquor and gamble, she appears on
the verge of ridding herself of a job.
The emotion charged situation builds
to what is said to be a heart stirring
climax when the President of the
United States comes to the aid of
his old teacher.
In addition to Miss Carlisle and

We surely agree with the Textile
Labor _ Board which declares that
“co-equal with the right to strike
are the rights of the miller to op
erate his mill and other employes to
work.” Stated another way and
more simply, the decision means that
if employes in any given industry
desire to walk out on a strike, thate
is their prerogative, but should oth
er employes desire to continue at
work in the same industry, that is
their prerogative, not to be interfer
ed with by the strikers.
Two hundred school teachers were
called on to answer the question,
“who is the greatest woman?” The
Drize winner was: “The wife of the
farmer of moderate means who does
her own cooking, washing, ironing,
sewing, bringing up a family of* boys
and girls to bq. useful members of
society, and who finds time for in
tellectual improvement.”
