THREE RULES OF ROAD MIGHT
SAVE YOUR MONEY-OR LIFE
Do you know the rules of the road.
Failure to know them cost you
money—or your Hfe—if you drive
an automobile., according to the Na
tional Safety Council.
For that reason, the Council is
sponsoring a national campaign in
February on the theme, “Know and
Obey Traffic Laws.”
Here are three rules of the road
which the Council believes are com
monly misunderstood by motorists.
Even if you are lucky enough to es
cape injury yourself, you may be
liable under the-law for damage to
other vehicles or persons.
The intersection Rule: If two
oars arrive at an intersection with
out stop signs or signals at about
the same time, the car on the right
always has the right-of-way. You
must give way to it.
The Following Rule: If you run
into the rear of another car, you
always are at fault. It doesn’t mat
ter that the car ahead stopped sud
denly or that'the driver failed to
signal—he may have had no op
portunity. The law requires that you
drive far enough behind to be ready
for any emergency. Safety authori
ties recommend one car length for
every mile of speed.
The Speed Rule: In all states
speed must be adjusted to conditions
regardless of posted speed limits.
A speed limit of 35, for example,
means that is the maximum safe
speed under ideal conditions. If Vaf-
Iflc is heavy or if the roadway is
slippery, 35 miles an hour may be
| too fast for safety. If $ou have an
| accident, you may be charged with
' ‘‘speed too fast for conditions” ev
en though you did not exceed the
I legal limit. On rural highways with
out speed limits, the “reasonable
and prudent" rule still applies.

Cottonseed Price Support
County Agent King tells me that
the government , bought a good many
cotton seed ih Marion, even though
that arrangement came late.
Seed were- ‘ selling at $30 a ton
when it started. The support price
was $46.50. Thus the price for the
remainder of the season was upped
$16.50 a ton.
A lot of folks think against gov
ernment support. for farm prices.
And I think we all regret the neces
sity for them.
But the laborer has protection in
his minimum wage and job insur
ance or unemployment aid. The price
of his product is the farmer’s wage.
When that price goes to the rocks,
it looks like good business for the
government to step in and help stave
off disaster. For all of the folks must
eat next year too, and a broke far-

As They See Us
I write so much about the progress
I see in our agriculture that you
might wonder if I see things through
rose-tinted glasses.
To me it’s good to hear outsiders
on this same subject. :
In a feature article in a recent is
sue of “Life”» magazine it said this,
“To Northerners—this new South is
full of overwhelming sights.” And
it pictured our farm and industrial
growth. i
And the great agricultural writ
er, Louis Bromfield, writing in the
Country Gentlman, said: “Today no
part of the nation is growing and
developing so rapidly. The South is
becoming rapidly one of the nation’s
greatest assets." , __
And, folks that’s a far cry from
“Economic problem number one”
| that we were called some 15 years
ago.
f Some parts of our country that I
have seen, seem to have arrived, and
slow decay has set in. Not so in-the
'Southeast. We are just waking from
an exploitative one-crop slavery, and
j natural advantages and opportuni
ties beckon at every hand. Waste
lands, all of a sudden, have become
opportunities with trees and grass.
iAnd King Cotton has gotten down in
the ranks and is bulling with strong
aids. The good things like roads,
electricity, and phones are headed
for our byways, and life in the New
South is beating that of the Old.
Quail In Cherokee
Assistant County Agent Stone of
Cherokee knew something about
raising game birds. So the county
delegation took some of their hunt
ing license money and set him and
county forest ranger, B. T. White,
up producing birds for landowners
who would equip themselves for
raising and releasing them.
They started it late in 1948 and
hatched off 1,199 quail that season^
The past year they hatched off 5.300
and put them out 25 little birds to
the man. Stone says they raised
something like 75 percent of them
and they were released.
The past year they added pheas
ants. They hatched opt 525 and gave |
on a rainy day, save wear and tear
on the house and on parents too, and
have a mighty good time.
We would play hide, build forts
out of bales of fodder, catch chick
ens, and put them to sleeb-by wav
ing them around with their heads
under their wings, and so on. And
it was always fun to cut notches in
a grain of corn and tie a string to it.
Then we would throw it out to the
chickens. As fast as one would eat
it, we would jerk it back. We won
dered if each one thought he had
eaten that grain of corn. A good
way to make a little corn go far, we
thought.
It was near Christmas, egg? were
very scarce, and I found a nest up
under there with four in it. I was
thrilled, and didn’t plan to tell the
other kids. Wanted to surprise the
folks at the house. 1 So I put them in
my pockets and started crawling out
backwards. It was the only way I
could do, as I had to go between the
sleepers.
On the way out I momentarily for
got about the eggs and broke three
of them. My, how those things did
mess up my pockets.
SIX-INCH SERMON
By Rev. Robert H. Harper
UNTO ALL MEN
Lesson for January 29: Acts 10:
17-20, 24, 34-43.
Memory Selection: Matthew •'28:
19-20. ' —
Not all the Roman soldiers in
Palestine were pagans. A centurion
in Caesarea had embraced the Jew-
always.” Obedient to the vision of an
angel, he sent' two of his household
servants and a devout soldier to Jop
pa for Peter.
When they arrived, Peter had just
had the vision of the unclean beasts.
While he pondered its meaning, the
messengers inquired for him. Be
cause of the vision's teaching and
at the bidding'of the Spirit, Peter
: went with the men to Caesarea. Ar-
, riving there.-they found Cornelius,
kin and friends awaiting him.
Declaring he perceived' that “God
is no. respecter of persons.” Peter
I preached unto them; the Holy Ghost
fell on them, and. they wpre bap
tized. Abiding with his converts cer
tain days’, Peter went -to' Jerusalem.
There the mother church called upon
him to give an account of his going
unto Gentiles. When they heard of
the gracious results, they glorified
God, spying: “Then hath God also
to the Gentiles granted .repentance
unto life.” '
Thus the mother church reached
the momentous decision Jo bear the
Gospel to the Gentiles. We shall do
well to learn the great truth—that
God calls none common or unclean,
and realize that we should set no
Jjarners against any^group of men
' Because of thehr race or their na-
tibn.
