Turner) Death is a tragedy that is cident to all mankind, and passing of a citizen always a pall of sorrow and regret the home and the in which the deceased resided. Especially is this true when of our most popular and citizens is removed from midst. When the'news of the passing of W. F. Morrison came known to -the citizens Dade county, expressions of row and deepest regret heard in every community, and today a pall of sadness and sor¬ row hangs over our county. Frank Morrison was one of Dade's most prominent and use¬ ful citizens, and his passing is a personal loss to every citizen of the county. The deceased was a member of one of Dade’s old and Prom- irent families; he resided in this county throughout his life of some sixty-eight years. For the past 11 years he had served the citizens of Dade County at their Tax Commis¬ sioner and gave to the office a most efficient and satisfactory service, which was appreciated by his constituents, as evidenced by his re-election three consec¬ utive times. Frank Morrison always adher¬ ed to the highest principles of citizenship; and in all of his so¬ cial and business transactions he truly practiced the Golden Rule. His leadership and prac¬ tical ability have been factors in the social and business activities of his county; his life will serve as an inspiration to us he has left t? load lives of ruble pur¬ pose. The writer has known him since we were boyhood school mates, and having made his residence our home during the past two years, our personal daily contact with him has giv¬ en us an opportunity to know and more greatly appreciate him for his genuine worth as a cit¬ izen and a Christian gentleman. Men of the type and character of Frank Morrison are invalua¬ ble to the world that today is so lacking in Christian leadership. His passing leaves a vacancy in our county that will be hard to fill He will, be sorely missed by our entire citizenship. GET READY FOR WINTER Summer and early fall are the times for preparing homes for winter--with especial attention paid to the elimination of fire hazards. One of the major causes of home fires is defective heating units, ranging all the way from oil stoves to central heating systems. Even the best of appli¬ ances become worn- Flues and chimneys become filled with soot. During the war, it often impossible to maintain heating plants due shortages of parts and There are still shortages, but not as severe as in the past. The money spent will tremendous dividends in and security. Faulty electric wiring is still a major destroyer of homes. Im¬ portant repairs should be by a qualified electrician. ed cords should be replaced Then, when your equipment . is subjected to heaviest use, it will safely carry the load. Lastly, during the weather, homeowners carry on a rigorous campaign to rid their property of junk. Thousands of fires have origin¬ ated in attics and cellars and closets filled with old furniture, magazines, etc. Many fires have resulted from impro¬ per storage of paint, gasoline and other inflammables. A clean and orderly house offers fire few opportunities. ARE YOU A KILLER? No less an authority than the president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police tells us that the modern officer [ views every traffic violater a potential killer. To some this may seem macabre point of view for genial cop on the corner. think, however, that it is ate for us all that police are being trained to take a alistic and stern attitude traffic violations -- with this country’s tragic of increasing deaths on streets and highways. tne lives of 33,500 men, and children are snuffed out one year because of driving and violation of regulations, then it is time someone to get tough. Progressive police training throughout the nation is de¬ mon trating its value. Modern traffic squads are no longer given pep talks and then sent out -“just to keep an eye on things in general.” They are Driefed as. to what intersections are accident prone, what vio¬ lations are causing the accidents and during what hours- They know what to look for and they should be applauded rather than pampered when they deal stern¬ ly with the violaters. That such selective enforce¬ ment is effective has been proved. The communities which have adopted it are to be com¬ mended. To those which have not yet done so, we recommend such an enforcement program and suggest that the people in the communities do the same, for their own good. Do not erroneously believe that the traffic policeman en¬ joys writing you a ticket for a violation. He would rather do however, than pick you up a basket gf.tei^an accident your own or some other making. If you violate a traffic regu¬ lation, consider that a violation identical to yours has killed se¬ veral persons -- perhaps at same place, perhaps even on the same day. That you did not cause an accident is not im¬ portant. That you might caused one is. you is the traffic officer’s lie is not only protecting from your own folly, but ing your exposure to driving habits of others. deserves your highest respect fullest cooperation. TEACHING THEM TO DRIVE (Atlanta Journal It is good news that is joining a nation-wide ment to establish high courses in driver Traffic records show that ers between the ages of 16 20 have five times as many accidents, in terms of miles en, as those aged from 45 to This is a challenge, and also opportunity, for public to make a vital contribution public safety. The American Automobile sociation, with its clubs throughout the sponsors a plan by which schools can easily give the-wheel training, as well class room instruction, to and girls who will soon be ing, or wishing to drive, vehicles. The AAA offers to sign the school a current five passenger car for this pose, on condition that school conduct an driver education and course under a competent structor and observes other reasonable requirements. The aim of such a course not simply to teach skill in ating and maneuvering the but also to impress upon youthful beginner the ance of doing those things will secure safety and conven¬ ience for himself and for oth¬ ers.” Adapted at all points adolescent needs, it appeals the student’s sense of good sportsmanship and fosters a ing of fair play and bility. An able teacher has said “It is to be questioned whether any subject in the secondary school curriculum offers a better means than driver education COUNTY TIMES.

Comments from the SIDELINES By ELBERT FORESTER Over near our neighboring city of Summerville a comparatively young man who calls himself a “Preacher” faces a charge of manslaughter. He is alleged to have induced one of his faith¬ ful followers to drink a glass of | poison. A report of the tragic incident reveals that the "Preacher” took a sip of the deadly poison himself, after which the man with the “Faith” came forward and gulped down the deadly solution. He is dead and his leader was arrested at the grave site. Luckily no doubt for the “Preacher” that drunk only a sip or he too would have been killed. In jail the “Preacher” reads from a partion of the Holy Writ and tells the sheriff that the dead man must not have had sufficient faith or the poison would have been no more than a drink of water. j God Almighty endowed man with sufficient intellect to make up poisonous drugs. On him! the other hand He endowed with the same intellect not to drink such drugs. The writer j claims to have at least a reason-' able amount of “Faith” in the Ruler of the Universe but if I were to drink a glass of poison to show this faith I would ex- oect it to kill me. If I were to jump off the Empire State Build¬ ing to show my faith, I would expect to be picked up in the form of a pancake. If I were to wrap a rattlesnake around my neck to show my faith I would expect to get bit and would expect the bite to kill me—and the same is true in doing simi¬ lar things when we as a civilized people know better. A person can deliberately commit suicide but it appears to me when the notion strikes him to take this step he should not bring God Almighty into it—or maybe he should. So much for that. * * * It seems to me that Labor Day in Dade county was spent by most everyone laboring. This morning’s news announced that over 400 lost their lives over the week end throughout the nation. Over 200 of these results of high¬ way traffic accidents. Two (2) ( deaths were reported in Georgia. Traveling to Atlanta Monday afternoon on U. S- 41 would lead one to believe that there are lots of lucky people. This fact is strongly emphasized when per- 1 a son notes the many chances peo¬ ple take on the highways and U. S. 41 has a lot of traffic—so does U. S. 11. People of today spend a lot of time in automo-J biles. We should be careful— we must be careful, lest we be killed or injured. SAFETY LINES If we’re driving over the limit Or over the Center line— We just as well keep in mind That we’re living on borrowed time.
