C., THURSDAY, JULY 18, 19S5 A MBRITBD APPOINTMENT The appointment of Dr. Roger L. Coe, of this city, as state director of the national youth administrfrtion comes in merited recognition of his qualifications and abilities as ah edu cator. Dr. Coe will make good in this re sponsible position and will go about hi^ werk in a quiet and genuine spirit of loyal service to the boys and girls ,he is to serve. His-appointment to this post of distinction- will be thoroughly justified, we are sure, by the charac ter and quality of his .services. A NEW FEATURE “The Story of-the Constitution,” bjr Caleb Johnson, is a timely new fea ture beginning in The Chronicle today, and one that bids fair to get’a great deal of favorable comment from read ers who’ will no doubt welcome the chance to “bru.sh-up” a bit on the his tory of the famous old document, the why and the how it came into exist- enc-e and other vital details.Jt’s a non partisan presentation and will ^ive our rt-aders many “forgotten facts” pious hope that the League of Nations might do something about it. Fortunately, our country -is not baniHng under these war clouds. ^m1, if this impending world-wide confla gration does get under way, our peo ple are hoping we may be successful in keeping out of it.

THE SLAUGHTER MOUNTS Your chances of being involved in a fatal automobile accident are much greater* on highways than anywhere else. Bad as the urban accident rate is, the death toll i.s mounting fastest in rirraT territories, even though traf fic is less dense. liast year 167,000 accidents occur- cation July 19th at three o'clock iii the! afternoon. 6. The bids shall be opened and! await^ made by the County Board of Education who shall have the right | to reject any and all bids and to re advertise for new or additional bids. 6. All contracts for transportation I shall be awarded to the lowest respon-| sible bidder. 7. This notice shall not apply to dis-j tricts owning their own school busses. 8. Following list of busses for which bids may be received^ and any and all red on highways. The result was 160,- 000 injuries and l.i,000 deaths. By;other routes designated by Board of contrast, 286,000 city accidents caused! • but 8,000 deaths. In 1934 the rate of j hurricane’I? to Clinton, Hunter^^ death per accident on highways was Mountville 16, Mountville— more than 100 per cent greater than the average for all accidents combined. The rea.son isn’t hard to find if you but look. Jhe modern highway is wide and smooth, rarely congested. It looks as safe as your own back yajrd. And, upon which to base i>o.ssible future as a con.sequence, thousands of driv- discu.s.sion. It will appear in short wet'kly installments until the story has been told. Don’t miss a chapter. LIQUOR FACTS The population of the United State# is 26 million more persons. in .1935 mi. j » than Tf was" in UTlT. Tri' thi^' fiscal yeari^l*^ Thousand* of .matonsta, aie -ending June 3Q, 1917, the peoitle of the United .States consumed 85,248,000 gallons t»f whiskey. In the fiscal year just ended, a iMipulation^ more than one-fifth larger ilrank | third less whiskey — only 55,.500,000 gallons. Tbe.se statistics are fi-om the govern ment’s internal revenue i-eport. The.se figures point out the dis proof of the oftTheard a.ssertion that the habit of drinking intoxicating li- tjuors was greatly increased in recent years under pi-ohibition. If that were true, then certainly the volume of al coholic <lrinks consumed now, by a much larg’er population, would show a decline, but an increase. With liquor now legalized through out the country, a big jump may be exiK-cted in drinking consumption next year,-and for years to come. ers relax behind the" wheel, and step hard on the accelerator. When a crisis arrives, they act too slowly, or are go ing too fast to avoid a .smashr—and in jury or <k*ath follows. This is especially worth remember ing now with the hot .summer season making trijis into the country — and they should keep in mmd4he unhaiijiy fact that somnolence on the highway is an invitation to the coroner. AN ORGY OF SPENDING A second illuminating chapter on the ^xtravaganefi and loose spending of tbt? recent legi.slature ap{>eai-s, in the news columns of today’s paper. It is an itemized account of the expenses of the senate and hou.se and is alinost beyond belief, containing as it does many amazing items, tt is published for the information of taxpayers who should open their eyes to a legislature elected on the oft-repeated promises' of economy, but instead responsible for this wild orgy of spending. WE ALL NEED AMBITION Few of us accomplish anything without ambition—\ve-nee<i desire all our live.s. *• . The legislature for 77 actual days work, spent upon it.selt and for its multitude of attaches, $343,075. (H this enormous amount the itemized article sent-out from Columbia by Conrad F. Smith, show^ $41,606 cov ered up to the light of ordinary day under the phrase “approved accounts.” There have l>een few business sue ces.'^t'.s accomidisheil by those who had ~~The big racket was the item of oyer- no ambition or desire to,go forw-ard to attempt to do something. Behind the whole huipsn race in ev ery race is the thing we call desire. It is the steam of the human engine. It is the urge of human accomplishment. People do not fail so much because they want for w-rong things. Some do, of course. But most people do not suc- cec<l liecause they do not know- what they want or do not want a thing hard enough! The efforts'of mankind should be not to suppress nor destroy desire so much as to direct it into proper chan- nel.s and save its force for something worth while. The greatest wasters are the wast ers of ambition. A DARK PICTURE The war clouds are gathering thickr ly over Euroi)e, Asia and Africa, All of the efforts in behalf-of peace on the part of nations who have already got a satisfactory slice of Mother Earth swm to have no effect upon the nations which are bent upon grabbing off more territory for themselves. Japan continues its incursions into Chinese territory. Germany is speed ing up its rearmamei^t plans. Italy seems determined to make its invasion ~‘of Africa as vigorous as any of the campaigns of the old Roman Empire.. England has signally failed jM a peace-maker. Mussolini has spurned tjie British advances, and practically defied the Englsih to do anything about .ins attempt to seize Abyssinia. By ber efforts to bring about a peace ful understanding with Germany, ■Great Britain .seems to have reopen^ the. tears, of th« ancient enmity of Vtiaact. Russia’s protests agakisi Ja- paa'a activities on the continent of Asia unheeded. AB the instrumentahties set up to arorld peace seem to have The Leatme of Nations seems lettiag Ethiopia, <Hie of its mem- to its doom without more protet. The famous Kel- Anierioa’s scheme for in- peace, toms out to be ip of paper. Whee the applied to our so sflttes liadig he Bit vss h' time, many clerks, stenographers and various attaches drawing frpm ten to fifteen dollars per diem for^their ser vices. This enormous “overtime over head” could have been avoided had the legislature gotten down to work in a business-like way and completed its job in the usual length of time desig nated by law. It will be ihteresting to compare . the salaries paid there against those-paid back home in the respective counties for a whole year’s work to efficient, well-trained em ployees, holding positions of respon sibility and trust. Just think of it again—$343,075 for just one session. For two sessions on the same basis, it would be $686,150, for three sessions—only $1,029,225. This “story” of extravagance should also be put away in thousands of scrapbooks for a future tefreshing of the mind when those / responsible for such spepding and Waste will be heard all over the state proclaiming how they iaved the “dear peepul’s” money ^ - Route No. 1, Lisbon to Mountville.
