THE MOST DANGEROUS DRIVER
The most dangerous motorist is
neither the drunk nor the incompe
tent—the chap who has an exagger
ated sense of his own importance
when he gets behind the steering
wheel, and insists on driving with
that sense of his importance as his
ruling motive.
This verdict is returned by Dr. C.
H. Watson, president of the National
Safety Council.
“Safety is a question of perform
ance,” says Dr. MTatson. “Because
people know what they should do,
does not mean that they will do it.”
One needs to drive only a little
while to understand the truth of
what Dr. Watson says. The man
who weaves in and out of traffic
lanes, passes other cars on curves or
hills, cuts in suddenly, crashes lights
and ignores stop signs, is displaying
all the stigmata of the man who has
set himself up on a pedestal. He
also provides the set-up for most of
our accidents.

A WORTHY TRIBUTE
Helen Keller Tribute Year, a peri
od devoted to honoring blind teach
ers of the blind, is to culminate in
National Helen Keller Day, desig
nated by President Roosevelt, as
March 3.
So the nation honors an outstand
ing woman whose perseverance and
courage Btand out as the guideposts
to the infirm, her achievements proof
of handicaps surmounted if will is
strong enough.
Sharing in spirit the honors which
are to be conferred upon her extra
ordinary pupil will be the late Mrs.
Anne Sullivan Macy, for 48 years
constant companion and teacher oi
Miss Keller.
Helen Keller was not born deaf,
dumb and blind. A normal child at
birth, the daughter of an editor of
North Tuscumbia, Ala., she was
stricken with brain fever at the age
of 19 months, and through this ill
ness was deprived of her faculties.
After six years of clawing, wheez
ing, muffled screaming of childhood,
Helen Keller was taken to the Per
kins Institute of the Blind at Bos
ton. Here she met Anne Sullivan,
who recognized in the pupil an ex
ceptional mentality, undiminished
by the illness that had robbed her of
her senses.
Years of constant, patient train
ing followed. Years of failure and
disappointment, finally climaxed in
success marked by a single spoken
sentence: “I am not deaf now.”
Well versed in the Braille alpha
bet of the blind, as well as in a
manuel alphabet for conversation
through touching fingers, Miss Kel
ler rapidly developed her ability to
discern and reproduce spoken words.
At the age of 20, she and her tire
less, constant companion and teach
er matriculated in Radcliffe College,
Cambridge, Mass., from which the
blind prodigy was graduated with
an A. B. degree in 1904, “with spe
cial mention for excellence in Eng
lish Literature.”
Her case attracted the attention
of internal scientists who marveled
at the attainments of the Alabama
girl and her mentor. Success as a
novelist and as a lecturer came
swiftly. Throughout the world
Helen Keller became a model of
victory 'over personal handicaps.
Chief activity during the major
portion of her life has been Miss
Keller’s devotion to the American
Foundation for the Blind, and its
$2,000,000 fund. Proudly Miss Kel
ler has rejected patronizing offers
of assistance, but readily has wel
comed every heartfelt effort to aid
the sightless. America has been her
field, but during recent years she
has extended her work to aid the
blind of both the Orient and of
Europe.
Living proof of what teaching
and care can accomplish, Miss Keller
well deserves all the honors that a
nation may pay her. And through
.as tribute she hopes attention be
drawn to others, similarly handicap
ped, but not endow’ed with such ex
ceptional mental faculties, that they
may be led along a brighter way, to
happiness in a darkened world.
THINGS WORTH WHILE
The Cordele Dispatch publishes ten
suggestions that, if followed, are
worth while and would tend to make
this ’a better world in which to live.
The suggestions are entitled “Take
Time,” and are as follows:
“Take time to work; it is the
price of success.
“Take time to think; it is the
source of power.
“Take time to play; it is the
secret of perpetual youth.
“Take time to read; it is the
fountain of wisdom.
“Take time to worship; it is the
highway of reverence.
“Take time to be friendly; it is
the road to happiness.
“Take time to dream; it is hitch-
ing your wagon to a star.
“Take time to love and be loved;
it is the privilege of the gods.
“Take time to look around; it is
too short a day to be selfish.
“Take time to laugh; it is the
music of the soul.”
If we all took time to consider
and think before acting on the im
pulse, we would be much better off.
Hasty action, and no thought of
what may be brought forth by such
a policy, too often results detriment
ally to the best interest of all. It
is better to “take time” than to run
headlong into things with which we
are r.ot acquainted. In our daily
program of living, let us “take time”
to overcome that which is evil and
to practice that which is good.
“I” is the most commonly used
word in telephone conversation,
and “you” is second.
AUDITORS OKAY 4 DEPART
MENTS
Four audits w-ere filed recently
with Governor Rivers by State Audi
tor Tom Wisdom. They were of the
state departments of banking, na

the first half of this year.
The books of all four departments
were complimented by the auditor.
The Department of Banking, head- 1

This was of revenue re
ceipts collected by the department

less than its operating cost.
The audit for the Department of
Natural Resources covered only the
divisions of forestry, mines, mining
and geology and state parks, historic
sites and monuments. An audit of
the division of wild life was filed
several weeks ago. This depart
ment had an aggregate expense of
$83,460,37 for the six months, leav
ing a balance of June 30 of $21,-
263.99. The division of forestry
cost $56,882.20; mines, mining and
geology, $12,599.11; parks, historic
sites and monuments, $11,721.09.
The Department of Health had a
total income of $464,812.68 for the
six months’ period with expenses of
$298,795.79, leaving a cash balance
on hand on June 30 of $166,016.89.
The income was derived as follows:
federal grants, $230,378.26; Ameri
can Red Cross for Crippled Children,
$1,736.32; county warrant interest,
$1.55; state appropriation, $124,-
344.25.
The Secretary of State showed re
ceipts of $13,126.44 and expenses of
$11,915.63, leaving a balance on
hand on June 30 of $1,210.81.
SMILING FACES
Dinner had just begun w'hen Mr.
Jones turned over his iced tea. He
was greatly embarrassed.
“Don’t worry about turning over
your tea, Mr. Jones,” said four
year-old Susie. “My daddy turns
his over all the time at home.”
And then dady, not Mr. Jones,
was the embarrassed guest,
it:
“ ‘You cannot get eggs without
hens’, said the speaker, stressing the
! point.
“ ‘My dad can,’ piped a small voice
from the rear.
“ Please explain yourself, little
boy,’ said the speaker.
“‘He keeps ducks!’ yelled the
boyish voice from the rear.” .
t t X
Foreman: “How is it that you
and Mike started work together and
he has a bigger pile of dirt than
you?”
Pat: “Shure, he is digging a big
ger hole.”
X t t
Teacher: “If you were getting din
ner for six people and had but five
potatoes, how would you divide them
tc give each one an equal share?”
Small Sadie: “I’d mash ’em.”
t't i
“And how is your little baby sis
ter, Ronald?” asked the vicar, who
was making a call.
“Oh, she’s only fairly well, thanks.
You see, she’s just hatching her
teeth.”
A small boy was seen sitting
moodily on his front doorstep.
“What makes you so miserable?” a
friendly neighbor inquired.
“Well,” replied the boy, “if I had
it to do over again, I wouldn’t eat
up sister’s lipstick—even for spite.”
X t l
One morning while playing in the
yard three-year-o!d Kay spied an
earth worm crawling from a hole in
the ground. Running in the house
to her mother she called excitedly:
“Mother, come quick, there’s a little
spaghetti out in the yard and it’s
real.”
“Sambo, have you seen the Cat
skill Mountains”
“Naw suh I ain’t, but I’ve seen
them kill mice.”
Mother (after a vain attempt to
sing small child off to sleep): “Why
don’t you go to sleep, dear?”
Peter: “Well, Mummy, I was
waiting for you to stop singing.”
