NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THEY DON'T MIX

| Booze and gasoline don't mix-even if legaIlzed
liquor is used.
This fact is pointed out by the Industrial News
Review which SAYS that repeal of prohibition has
resulted in tremendous increase in drunken
driving, according to reports of police bureaus
safety departments and similar organizations NO
one knows whether this is due to people drinking
more now than during the prohibition era--but 1t
is a fact that more people are taking drinks and
then getting behind the wheels of their cars.
A driver does not even have to be notlceaoly
drunk to be dangerous Investigations show that
very moderate doses of alcohol produce the 10i-
lowing effects on the average driver: Slower re-
actions, less uniformity in response narrowing
of the field of attention, rise in set-assurance
which breeds recklesSncsS, and a general dechhe
in mechanical efficiency. The change occurring
may be relatively slight-but when the driver IS
in sole charge of a hurtng of metal 1t be-
comes important indeed. A man who shows rev
signs of his drinking, and is pleasant and ra-
tional companion, may become menace to the
public in his car.
The vets of the country should take the lea"
in discouraging the drunken driver. He is one Of
the worst dangers to the cause they eSpouse-al-
cohol on the highway" is certain to be used as a
liquor legally on sale in the bulk Of states, eglsla-
ton to curb drunken driving should be made even
sitter than in the past-and should be enforced
to the letter.
Unless this is DONE Old John Barleycorn at the
steering wheel will very wreck the hopes of
those dreamerS who saw so many good results to
society as a consequence of the abolition of the
18th Amendment.
Although this newspaper supported the prohlbi-
ton cause we would like to see the repealists
make good with their promises of a more temper
ate people and better social order However, the
results thus far must be disappointing to the
most ardent wet.
Unless the friends of legalized liquor cooperate
in some constructive effort towards correcting new
evils which are fast developing into major social
menaceS, it won't be long before the nation will
once more be faced with the same necessity as
prompted the Scrapping of all diSteres, brew
cries and wineries
One would imagine that the men who have their
money invested in these industries would realize
the wisdom of avoiding the old pitfalls, rather than
contribute towards the aggravaton of an impossi-
bic social situation.-Hickory Record.

ELECTION SHOWS NEED OF PARTY
ALIGNMENT
(Bv BRUCE CATION

The New Year will have come, probably,
before people get through talking about
what the election signiied. Just now W."
have the rather amazing spectacle OF an
administration winning the support both
of those who feel that it is heading IN the
direction of change and of those who BE-
Teve it to be the one secure bulwarE
against change.
That is to say that Mr.. Roosevelt, in
some manner, has cOntrived to draw
strength from liberals and conservatives
alike. The liberals believe that he is going
to amplify and continue those changes in
herent in the New Deal; the conservatives
believe that he will make as few changes
as possible, and that anyone who might
be put in his place would almost certainly
90 farther to the left.
These exceedingly contradictory deveI-
OpmentS make it very hard to figure lust
what the election may have meant.
The administration continues to enjoy
public support, in a quite unprecedented
way; and yet this solidarity is more APP
parent than real, since it includes the sup
port of two Numerically opposite schools
of thought Mr.. Roosevelt cannot forever
continue to be the darling of the liberals
and the white hope of the conservatives.
All of which is just another way of say
ing that the much talked-of realignment
of parties cannot be postponed much
longer.
Liberalism and conservatism are not
words of very exact meaning. Neverthe-
less, they will have to do for want of bet
ter ones; and sooner or later they viii
have to be the unofficial labels of our two
chief political parties, with one party
standing for the one attitude and the other
for its opposite.
For what the New Deal needs more
than anything else is a critical and intel
ligent reappraisal that goes to the funda-
mentals beneath it. 1t did not get that in
this recent campaign. 1t cannot get it until
the two parties stand for something more
than just two groups of assorted office
holders and officeSeekers.
The election advanced us very little to-
ward that goal. 1t succeeded only in en-
phaSizing the necessity for reaching it.

PLENTY HOUSES

Our government proposes to spend literally bill
hons of dollars in the coming months in the con-
structon of residences for the people, despite the
fact that there has been more demand for food
and clothing than for shelter.
Since most communities throughout the coun-
try are quite similarly circumstanced will say for
Union county that there are many more houses
than families to live in them There are literally
hundreds of houses suitable for families scattered
throughout the countryside rotting down and de-
serted, and with tillable land around the doors
that could be used.

lployed when such condition exists. AS soon as

IVA SURVEY

Journey Viewed as Open
inc Gesture in His Power

President Roosevelt's tour Of the
Tennessee valley this week was
seen. today as the first skirmish
in the administrations battle for
cheaper electric rates to INSPIRE

utilities.
The president will leave Iarc
this afternoon on a three-day
tour of the IVA project, ending
at Warm Springs, Ga.
Reports and surveys on utl!l-

Lower electric rates for the
average consumer has been part

He stressed it in his campaign

set up a "yardstick" b. which
