theTprice of speed
As everyone knows, spend is tho
groat highway klllor. The motorist
who drives at an excessive ruin endangers
not only his own life, but
those of everyone else on the public (
streets and rouds. He can offer but
one "excuse" for his conduct -that
super fast driving gets hltn to his
destination sooner.
The truth Is. the minutes wo suvo
by excessive speed are pitifully few |
in the light of the rlHk Involved. Aj
short time ago a test was made In j
Chicago. A radio announcer was told ^
to drive his car on an eight-mile trip
through heavy traffic, observing not
only every traffic regulation, hut every
rule of courtesy. At tho same
time, u police officer followed tho
same route under Instructions to take
every risk and reach the destination
In the shortest possible time. Twentythree
minutes later the reckless driver
pulled In at the stopping point.
The safe, supposedly slow driver, who
had taken no risks at all, got there |
exactly two minutes later.
We have all met the motorist who
makes a trip In a length of time that
required him to risk a hundred lives,
und then spends twice the amount tie
saved over a normal, safe passage,
boasting about it. Nono of us ure
so busy, none of us have so great
a need for saving a few minutes or
a few hours, that we can afford the
"price of speed."
"Save ten minutes lake a lite.
What should he the motto of the driver
who "opens her up" on every pos-.
sihle occasion Speed and speed j
alone is the dominating factor In the,
gn at hulk <>!' the nation's serious
l raft le accidents I.ook at it from ^
your own point of view and from a,
purely selli-h standpoint is it worth!
it?
President Outlines
Legislative Program,
Washington. Oct. 12. President;
Roosevelt, after calling a special ses-j
sion of Congress for .November la,]
fty outlined with pointed emphasis tonight
a legislative program designed
to help agriculture, industry and labor
produce "a balanced abundance
without waste."
While tho current year has, generally
speaking, been economically
good, he told the nation in his tenth
Fireside Chat." there are many
groups which "still have less purchasing
power and a lower standard of
living that the nation as a whole can
permanent!y allow."

business."

the processes of Democracy "work
more efficiently."
Mr Roosevelt spoke from tho oval
room of tho White House.
He sat at a desk before a seeming
myriad of microphones. under the ;
sharp _iiiro ot photographic lightB and !
surrounded by news and motion pictun
photographers.
For the latter, he later repeated J
portions of his speech.
i h. I 'resident spoke niorr rapidly

Ti.e special bcBbiuii (all, long exp,
cted was announced at a two rnlnu
e frress conference late In the afternoon
attended by an unusually
large crowd of correspondents drawn
by a "tip" that gomo big news could
be ex pectod.
Washington had looked for such an
announcement almost since the ad.
journment of the iMt session. In
which Supremo Court reorganization,
wage and hour legislation, crop surplus
control, regional planning and
some other administration measures
failed ol i'iia< imc-nt.
This expectation had been ?jnIt-k?*ned.
h<>wi\er. i>y a speech made in the;

tour, in which lie spoke of a
need for prompt farm legislation to
keep bumper crops from ruining prices.
After speaking regretfully and soberly
at his press conference today
of the death of American Consul Genoral
J. Theodore Marrinor, assassinated
in Syria, the President's tone
changed He looked up, grinned and
said
"1 think 'he only news I've got
today is the signing of a proclamation
saying "and he read the first
line of the document calling Congress
into session at noon November 1 r>.
The special session will be the second
of Mr Roosevelt's term. The]

will be the 19th to be called

Don't Drop Matches;
Stop Forest Fires
Rangers in tho Camden Forest district
urge persons having occasion to
walk or ride through woods or abandoned
lie Ids to bo very careful not to
drop matches or cigarettes as the
vegetation Ih dying at tills time of
year and is in a highly inflammable
condition.
During the 1936-1937 tire season 103
of the -107 fires that occurred on tho
1.U33.033 acres under protection In tho
Camden district were the result of
carelessness on the part of smokers.
According to District Forester R
\V. Kiegor, who represents the South j
Carolina State Forest service in the
Camden district, "ninety-nine and a
fraction per cent of the uncontrolled
tires that occurred on protected land
In tin1 Camden district during thej
1936-1937 tire season were man-caused, j
and thus preventable." The forester |
|
states that if anyone would take th?- j
simple precautions necessary to pre-,
vent woods tires the losses from them ;
would be greatly reduced.
