Steadily she brought her head
about to- face Uncle Howard. How
strangdhis eyes were! The mocking
had gone. They were like black
beads in his parched face yet they
seemed to be sending a message to
her. They seemed to be saying.
Courage! Spirit! Have you none?"
And looking back at him. she saw
another younger pair of eyes. dark
and kindly. bent over her own hand.
In that moment Carol Kennedy be-

In the speechless silence that fol-

There was the merest hint Of des-

Former Pastor of McKendree Writes

IfOnQale, u, NOV. 4, 50.
Mr.. Durbin, Editor Democrat
Now that we have become acclimat-
ed and in part adjusted to our new
location among the hills Of Jeffer-
son county, will give brief ac-
count of our situation, geographical
ly and otherwise.
We are enjoying the change in
scenery here Irondale is sur
rounded with high hills, rather
mountains-ten miles southwest of
East Liverpool, from which clay
and much coal have been taken for
generations back. Brick and sewer
pipe of high standard are manu-
factured here. The main branch of
the G. & P. railway double track
runs through here, and from the
amount of freight trains running
day and night, one would think the
depression was over. There is a
first class high school, also splen-
did grade school, and there are four
Protestant churches. We have an
eight room parsonage, running
spring water, electricity, but no
gas I have four appointments;
two are in the country. The coun-
try churches are two and five miles
out.
Our town churches both average
over 100 in Sunday school, and |
am the only pastor residing here.
The other churches are Presbyte-
rian, Baptist and Christian. We
were happily surprised recently up
on returning from Thursday even
ing prayer service, to find that 103
of our members had come to spend
the evening, bringing splendid
donation of edibles. They also
served refreshments to all present.
We have found friendly spirit
prevailing here and hope to be able
to do some good, but of course can
not forget our many friends in
Morgan. If any of you wish to
drive up any time to visit us, we
will do our best to make you feel
welcome.
With best wishes to yourself and
the entire staff, l remain sincerely
yours, J. D. Keller.
P. S.: There is scramble each
week for the Democrat-it reaches
us Friday at noon.

DARKNESS ACIDS HAZARD
To AUTO DRIVING
(BV John .JaStor. .Jr.0


For automobile drivers the night
is fraught with the terror of Shrek
ing brakes, crashing steel-and
death. Figures compiled by the
traffic bureau Of the highway de-
partment indicate that automobile
accidents are more likely to result
in serious injury and death during
darkness than during daylight.
Why? Because night driving is ex-
ceedingly dangerous due to the fact
that too many operators drive at a
rate of speed which does not permit
stopping fast enough if an object
appears in the way. Despite the fact
that traffic is considerably lighter
at this period of time, 46.3 percent
of all accidents on state highways
outside municipalities from Janu-
ary through September occurred
during the hours Of darkness COM
pared to 49.4 percent during the
hours of daylight, with 4.3 percent
happening at dusk. Death also
rides in the darkness. Over half of
the fatal accidents-545 percent
occurred at night during the seven
month period in comparison with
All percent during daylight, with
"A percent at dusk. Drivers at
night see only those objects within
relatively short distances-and i'm
perfectly then. This emphasizes the
need for safety in driving during
dusk and darkness.
There can be only one conclusion
in reference to night driving-that
is to materially reduce driving
speed during the hours of darkness.
Excessive speeds will sooner or later
result in an accident of some kind,
and it might be fatal.
