Hardly a day passes when the I 1
leadlines are not full of shock- ।
ing news of highway accidents.
1 was Thinking about that sev- 1
»ral days ago and decided to
drop in on my friend Wesley ■
Heston at the Georgia Motor! 1
Club for some additional infor
mation. Wesley told me that
last year in Georgia there were
3,466 people injured in traffic
accidents. That is almost equal
to the population of Milledge-1
ville according to the 1940 cen
sus.
In Georgia last year 738 peo
ple were killed on the highways.

COVINGTON, GEORGIA
flargwet Covaraga Aary Weakly la The State)
I should use the word murdered
because not a single one of those
people would have been killed
if the law had not been broken.
So far this year almost 700 peo
ple have been killed in the state.
None of these accidents just
happened. They all happened
because someone did something
they were not supposed to do.
If two cars collide someone
was in the wrong place at the
wrong time. If a tire blows out
and someone is killed, it is not
the fault of the tire. It is the
fault of the person who owns the
tire for running on a tire that is
likely to blow out.
I firmly believe that each and
every highway accident can be
prevented if people obey the
law to the letter.
You wouldn't ink of break
ing in your neighbor’s house
and going off with his silver
ware. Nor would you hit your
boss over the head with a lead
pipe. An honest person would
not do these things, and besides
they are against the law. But
exceeding the speed limit is O
K Sure there is a law that
says you can’t do this, but so
what? That law is for someone
else. This law can be broken
and it won’t m ke any difference
—until someone is killed or in
jured.
We need traffic laws with
teeth in them! Automobiles are a
necessary part of our economy.
) They are just as necessary as
hotels find jails. We have gtft to
learn to live with tutombbiles
and use them to an advantage
My friend Weston also told
me what the Georgia Motor
Club and AAA art doing to
make driving more civilized.
There are six branches of the
club in the state wow. They are
located fit Macon. Rome. Co
lumbus, Albany, Moultrie, and
Waycross.
These clubs sponsor school
safety patrols to children
in crossing streets. Also they are
I conducting drivers’ training pro
grams in several schools.
These clubs are taking the
traffic problem in hand and I
proposing wrlutwis. They realize
) that each driver is not a indi-)
) vidual, but a part of a complex
operation in which each person
must be considerate of others
The Georgia Motor Club is
doing a good job, but they need
I the help of everyone, because
there w so much to be done ana
time is costing lives.

Mountain Peace
As mountains glow with
Autumn’s transient blase
My heart bows down to God
i muted psalm.
Then fear and hate move out,
but His peace stays.
Every Georgian owes himself *
at least one trip to the mouh
tains while they are ablaze With )
Autumn’s red and gold, to
revivify his fearful heart and re- 1
kindle his torch of faith.
It riding around hairpin curves
makes yOu dizzy find looking in
to deep gorge* gives you palpi-
I tation of the heart, or created
desire tn leap, then be of gnod
cheer. Ybu, too, can ENJOY a
trip to the mountains.
My friend, Helen, who so un
selfishly shares her joys in life,
carried me on a my most unfor
getable trip to the mountains—
I Mountain City, Georgia, in Oc
tober. Although she drives like
a man (the nicest thing I know
to say of a woman who drives
well) sha. too, dislikes hairpin
curves and deep gorges. I had
been through the Gifat Smoky
National Park, and on otheir
breath-taking mountain trips,
j however, this one was breath
taking in a different and A more
enjoyable sort of way. The high
) way was comparatively straight
j find we drove through the mid
dle Os two rows of mountains, it
I seemed to us.
We ate our lunch fit. a park
near Clayton called War Woman
Del), a beautiful glen between
two mountains, covered with
, spruce, pine, holly find Other
! trees and shrubg indigenous to
the high altitude.
) We built a fire in one of the
, big fireplace? Greeted ift * cir
) cular design in the center of the
pavilion, Our picnic lunch and
the fire cheered us, for it i« cold
in the mountains even in Oc
tober.
After lunch we followed s
mosiy trfiil and crunched brown
| leaves under mi low heeled
) shoes. We crossed a whispering
brook hy stepping cautiously on
gray stones and watched little
fish the site and color of gold
fi»h as they darted near the edge
of the fern embroidered bank.
Aa we followed that trail I re
membered the poem I Once dedi
cated to my mother, "Ood Walks
the Autumn Trails,” published
i in The Christian Index and re
j printed in The Think l ank and
The War Cry:
) The cynic sneers at faith in God
Whence came the asters dress
ed like kings,
1 The regal robes On goldenrod,
| And aurum fields that harvest
brings,
YiS, God must walk with brush
in hand,
And paint a scene of Heaven s
land!
While cynic* sneer at faith tn
God
I see His ««al on leaves ablaze
I trace Hia footprint! on the sod,
And feel His touch in twilight’s
haze.
I know my Creator is near—
Though some may doubt, my
faith prevails
Abd puts to flight my sinful
fdfir
I My God does walk the Autumn
trails.
As we drove home the sun
came out and wove strange crafts
of red, gold, brown and green 1
; On the sides of the mountains. I
smoke euried lazily from field
I rock chimneys of the little brown
robins which reminded me of
tiny babies nestling agolMt the
bresate of Mreng, protective
mother? The glory of rt all was
। almost more than one humble
(heart could stand. I parted
from my friends tired, but with
Mountain Peace in my heart. I
weigheth the waters by meas-'
ure.” When Job wrote this,
people thought that “air does
not weigh anything.” They had
not yet learned the scientific
tact that, air rests with a weight
cf 26.000,000 tons on every acre
of the earth’s surface. God re
vealed the f|ct that air has
weight centu ies before Torri- ,
Celli discovered it.

Q. —What is real religion any- I
way?
A.—“ Pure religion and unde-;
filed before God and the Father
is this. To visit the fatherless
and widows in their affliction, )
and to keep himself unspotted
from the world.” James 1:27.
Q —Paradise the same as
heaven?
A.— Read Revelation 2:7: The
tree of life is in Paradise. 2
Corinthians 12:2: Paradise is the
third 'eaven. Revelation 22:1, 2:
The tree of life is by the throne
of God. God's throne is in
h -aven. Therefore, Paradise and
heaven am the same.
Q. —What is the ^es way to
study thy Bible on the subject
or prayer?
A.—Get a good concordance
and look up all the passages in
the Bible that contain the words
pray, prayer, cry, ask, call, sup
plicWtion. inTeivbssion, etc. Read
these a-nd the context. Believe
them and obey thrgi and you
will be greatly benefited by your
study of prayer,

Q- —Do not dreams always
come from God?
A.—Not always, for we read
in Ecclesiastes 5:3: "A dream
cometh through the multitude of
business; and a fool’s voice is
known by multitude of words.”
Bbmetimes: “If there be a proph- j
et among you, I the Lord will
make Myself known unto him in
• vision, and will speak unto
him in a dream.” Numbers 12:6,

Studebaker’s two top engineers,
Stanwood W. Sparrow, vice
president in charge of engineer
ing. and Harold E Churchill,

tailing the specifications of the
engine, Mr. Sparrow said:
The electric power industry
is the largest single industrial
user of bituminous coal.
