engineers agree that the present road
way is too narrow and not of suffi-
GENTLY heavy construction to carry
the traffic now flowing over it. Lat
err on it may also be found necessary
to widen Route 1T from Goldsboro
to Warsaw, although at the present
time this sector of the road is re-
garded as being probably the best
and most adequate portion of it.
In the western part of the State,
that portion of Route 70 running
through Black Mountain is now being
rebuilt and widened. But from the
standpoint of both safety and traffic
volume, the sector of Route 70 all the
way from Old Fort to Salamanca
needs to be modernized both by be-
ing widened and by the elimination
of number of dangerous curves and
switch-backs, Waynick said. Bue this
project, like all the others, must wait
on funds, since they are too costly
to be paid for from current highway
betterment and maintenance appro-
priations, Waynick pointed out. In
addition to the elimination of a num-
Der of bad curves between Old Fort
and Ridgecrest, a number of miles
of highway now only surface-treat-
ed should be replaced with concrete
between Black Moutnain and Swan
nanOa.
For the time being, however, there
is such a strong demand for more
work on county roads and for the
surface treating of secondary roads
which feed into the State highway
system, that no funds are available
for more than the most necessary
reconstruction and modernization
work. Waynick said. He is hoping,
however, that the forthcoming gene
raj assembly or the next Congress, or
both will provide some special funds
for this much needed highway recon
struction and modernization program.

Route III by means of the construc-
ton of a new hard surfaced highway
from Warsaw south to Wallace and
possibly as far as Willard finally run
ming back into Route 1T, although
the plans for this highway have not
yet been worked out in detail, it was
learned today. 1t is estimated that
this new road would take at least half
of the present traffic off that portion
of Route 1T extending from Warsaw
to Kenansville to Tin City, and that
this section could then be repaired so
that it would withstand the reduced
traffic over it. Indications are, how
ever, that eventually Route III will
have to be entirely rebuilt and widen
ed from the intersection with this
proposed new highway, probably some
where between Tin City and Burgaw

Raloigh. Oct. 24-Ninety-five au-
ton,c lie drivers had their driving
,..,mits revoked this week following
CONVICTION for drunken driving and
nthnr violations for which the revoca-
tion Of their licenses is mandatory
.rd of these 95 drivers, six lost their
licensees for an additional year be-
cause of being arrested and convicted
IN, driving while their licenses were
evoked. Director Arthur Fulk, of the
biohwav safety division of the De-
na,tment of Revenue, said today.
Most of the revocations were for
drunken driving or for both drunken
and reckless driving, Fulk pointed
out
The six drivers who had their Ii
oenses revoked for a second year be-
cause they had been convicted of
driving while their licenses were al
readv under suspension, are: Willie
Burch Rockingham; T. B. Freeman,
salisbury; Ben B Hopkins, Gold Hill;
Willard Greene, Charlotte; Joseph L.
Goddard. ST., GAINESVILLE and c. j.
Stokley, Wilmington.
II is becoming increasingly difficult
for drivers who have had their Ii
censes revoked once to drive and get
away with it, Director Fulk said, due
TO the fact that both highway patrol
men and local police officers are be-
coming more and more alert in
sporting" these drivers and arrest
inc them and because the judges in
the various courts are imposing more
and more severe sentences.
The law enforcement officers over
the State are giving better and bet
ter cooperation in watching drivers
whose licenses have been revoked, as
that more and more are being ar
rested" Fulk said. THE officers are
also getting more convictions due
to the fact that various judges are
letting very few off and imposing
heavier fines. The result is that it is
becoming more and more difficult for
drivers whose licenses have been re-
voked to continue to drive their cars
and get away with it,

lance program is Route 81 from Win
ston-Salem to Mt. Airy.
Several days ago Chairman Way
nick announced that one of the most
needed highway modernization pro-
iects was the further widening and
relocating of Route 20 from the Vir-
gina line down to Charlotte, CASTOR
ia and it's junction, with Route 81
which extends on down to the South
Carolina line. He revealed that State
and Federal highway engineers are
seriously considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of recommending the construction of
a dual line highway on Route % from
lexington to Spencer, and probably
later on from High Point to Thomas
Vile to Lexington and then probably
from Concord to Charlotte, since the
traffic is heavier on this highway
than on any other in the State, aver
aging from $500 to $500 cars day.

Worthwhile Study

A LAST scientific study is being in
n augurated on the subject of auto acci-
= dents. A commission of the u. S.
bureau of public roads and the highway re-
search board has $4,000 to spend in getting
at the basic causes of accidents and making
recommendations on prevention of them. If
they succeed at that price, it will be the big
gest bargain America ever got.
Particular attention will be given to the
driver who seems to have faculty for being
involved in accidents. Large firms such as
trucking companies have found that certain
drivers are responsible for the greater share
of their accidents. By wedding out such
drivers, they have been able to reduce their
accident losses.
The investigators will carry this idea a
step further and apply tests to drivers with
good accident records and others with bad
records to determine whether the tendency
toward accidents can be discovered in driv-
er before he has killed or manned several
fellow citizens.
Eventually all states may grant drivers
licenses only to persons physically and ment-
ally capable of handling car, after care
full test of their ability.

Brighten Up

~ EDWOOD FALLS streets are attrac-
X lively decorated and the store windows
and interiors gleam with Christmas
lights, tinsel, trees and other material gen.
orally associated with the yuletide. The busi-
ness district is truly in line for the title OF
'The Christmas City,"
But no city deserves that title until the
residential section, too, takes on holiday fin
cry. Every home should have at least
lighted wreath in the window during the
two or three weeks preceding the great holi-
day of the Christian world.
Where practical, decorated trees in
yards, strings of lights and novelties add
considerable to the attractiveness of street.
Where householders do not care to go to this
bother, setting the indoor Christmas tree in
front of window where passersby can en-
joy it as well as the family is a very good
substitute.
Christmas is the holiday of the rich and
poor alike, it is the season of joy in giving
and receiving with welcome by-product of
increased trade and more jobs in stores and
manufacturing plants. 1t is the appropriate
happy ending of peace and good will after
the long year of trials and tribulations.
This year we have more things to be
glad about than usual. Brighten your home
tor the holidays.

Better Papers

THAT the depression is over for the pre-
sent can be substantiated by glance
through the weekly exchanges, includ-
ing those from tiny towns barely able to
support newspaper, particularly in times
such as we have just been through.
All newspapers faced hard struggle
from 1881 to 1885 when advertising fell to
nothing and most subscribers ex-
pected to be carried or to buy their paper
at half price. Larger plants made slight re-
ductions in overhead but there was no such
out for the one-man shop where the only sal
vation for the owner was lower living
costs and credit. It was no wonder the
quality of their newspapers suffered.
Today merchants are optimistic over
trade prospects. They are trying advertis-
ing again and are surprised with the results
they are obtaining. Some of them had for
gotten how the old newspaper ads pulled
when the subscriber had money. Given in
creased revenue, bigger and better papers
are being produced, new type and more pic
lures add to their attractiveness and more
care is being taken in editing and makeup.
A town is seldom much better than it's
best newspaper.

War Debt Bargain

xVyHEN we loaned European nations
M great sums during the war and the
reconstruction period, we perhaps
were not making as bad an investment as it
appeared during the moratorium and delin-
quent payments era.
Not that any of the nations have been
quietly paying up the back interest but be-
cause without an Al credit rating with
Uncle Sam, they are backward about start
ing further wars which the present state of
their finances does not warrant.
Observers agree that the dictators
abroad are more anxious for war than their
predecessors who rushed into the last fray
but Americans generally and the administra-
tion particularly are not inclined to allow
America as nation or Americans as indi-
viduals to finance another struggle on the
installment plan, either with cash or goods,
for such loans would almost inevitably draw
us into the battle sooner or later.
Peace at any price is cheap. Peace at
the price of war debts which we don't see
much chance Of collecting anyway is rare
bargain.

Au-American Peace

r. ACH days developments on the all
American peace conference in far off
- Buenos Aires strengthen the hope that
this get-together of diplomats and politicians
may amount to far more than most confiabs
to which we have sent delegations.
Compared with Europe and Asia, the
American continents are peaceful, friendly
places. South American countries have had
their difficulties, even minor wars. Not so
many years ago we were having trouble with
Mexico and more recently we had a stand
ing committee of marines meddling in our
neighbors' troubles.
But today these same neighbors are the
exponents of world peace, ready and anxious
to demonstrate that round table discussion
of problems of state can work toward AMIGA
BILE settlements. Apparently these nations
are ready to agree to avoid all entanglements
with nations outside this hemisphere who
promote or engage in war and stand together
should it be necessary to defend our shores.
Chances of continued peace in this part
of the world appear to be excellent.

Tugwell Goes Into Practice

ReX1Ord IugWell, storm center OF the
administrators brain trust, has submitted
his resignation to President Roosevelt. Pro-
fessor Tugwell has made some very radical
suggestions that have brought storm OF
protest from manufacturers, publishers and
other groups that would apparently be hard
hit by his program, if he were able to put it
through.
From time immemorial practical busi-
ness men, who have made success of their
chosen work, have Scorned theorists, and
practical farmers have Indignantly refused
the aid of "book farmers" So the brain
trust was not dealt with very kindly by busi-
ness. Of course their program was on such
an enormous scale that they could not try
any part of it out to prove their point; it
had to be nationwide experiment if the
experiment was to be made. Book farmers
have gradually earned the respect of prac-
tical farmers, by proving, a little at time,
that they had learned some valuable facts.
But the book economists could not proceed
on a small scale, and those most affected
were unwilling for them to proceed on such
a scale.

Prof Tugwell to note that he is not going
back to teaching but has been given a job by

It might be attacked as a dirty trick
by later administrations of different poll

The manner in which Governor Hjalmer
Petersen goes about filling appointments
and handling other matters with party in
terests secondary to the welfare of the state
makes us more sure than ever that it is un-
fortunate that he will soon retire to the COM

house commissioner post to which he was
elected last month. Petersen ranks with
Benson and Shipstead as an outstanding but
sane liberal.
