COULD HAVE SAVED $4,000 LIVES

IWenty-tOur thousand lives would have been saved
and nearly million injuries prevented between 1926 and
1885 had the national trend in motor vehicle accidents
kept pace with the reduction made in states having
standard drivers license laws, according the National
Safety Council
This conclusion is study of license regulations,
entitled Saving Lives Through Drivers License Law"
prepared by the Council for free distribution.
Here is rrefutabe evidence that the human element
not the mechanical weather any other agency is the
principal of highway slaughter In states without
adequate drivers aws-and unless such laws perod
cay overhaued to keep pace with changing conditions
they almost certainly acknowledgements who
cOngeny careless and incompetent have accident after
accident and they keep driving Furthermore almost any
one can get license to drive, irrespective of his quaca
tons
The standard drveas' license law, which has been
adopted by number of states does not demand much
1t simply requires that shall drive automobile
who Is physically mentally incapable of operating it
safeand that all drivers SHALL through tests show that
they reasonably competent to handle and have
good knowledge of traffic laws and regulations Also
sound drivers law must provide for the automatic
ton of motorists who refuse abide by traffic rules who
are continually involved in accidents
volved in accidents.
The cold statistics prove that modern license law
will save lives and property Every state should such
a law.

OW FARM COOPERATIVES OPERATE

John Jones is dairy farmer in famous dairy state
All the surrounding counties likewise largely occupied
by dairy farmers.
For years John Jones had sold his products for what
ever he coud get-and his bargaining power pract
cally non-exstent.
Finally John Jonds and number of other farmers got
together They formed organization through which the
products all would be sold through central
office They put up their money to get the organization
going and to hire manager.
The result vast increase in bargaining power
with buyers-and fairer prices.
There in few words, is the simple story of how most
agricultural selling cooperatves start and operate There
no mystery about thehey simply represent proven busl
ness principles applied to farming.

place in turkey raising and the this year brought

PROGRESS TOWARD POWER POOL

In the OF Preston s. ArkWright, president
the Georgia Power Company, the government and the
utilities successfully work out plan for the pooling of
electric in and the Tennessee vaIeya plan
that will work to the interest of both and the
investor.
ArkWright expressed admiration for the manner in
which President Roosevelt is working solution
the problem and pointed out that if it the
threat of IVA competition his company would thar
double its present construction budget of $7OOO OOO He
then said that he hoped the question would definite
ly settled fair basis that his company and other
utilities operating in the could refund obligations at
lower rates of interest and raise additional capital for
pansion.
ArkWright views indicative of those of utility
leaders in general They wish to work with the govern
ment to the fullest Cn and cooperate in any possible
to bring about plan that will do away with present
structiVe wasteful and unnec 4ssary competition.
The governments representatives in the matter have
so far shown similar attitude. One principal IVA
officials has declared that private utilities are entitled to
fair return and that problems that arise the South
eastern pool should be settled by arbitration board
that IS satisfactory to the utilities we'll as to the IVA
II the threat of unfair competition with private utilities
removed in the IVA area it will result private utility ex
panson increased employment constantly better cleo
tc service 1t will encourage utility heads in other parts of
the country to follow suit-at present these executives are
naturally afraid that they too will be faced with destructive
competition and so forced to hold expansion budgets
minimum Absolute fairness the part of all parties to
the pool is indispensable if the interest of the public is to
be properly guarded.

The Birth Of Christ
The Sweetest StOry EUer Told
AS Chronicled In The Third Chapter Of St. Luke

And it came to pass in those days,
that there went out a decree from
Caesar Augustus, that all the world
should be taxed.
2. (And this taxing was first
made when Cyrenius was governor
of Syria.)
8. And all went to be taxed,
every one into his own city.
4. And Joseph also went up from
Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth,
into Judea, unto the city of David,
which is called Bethlehem; (because
he was of the house and lineage of
David:)
5. To be taxed with Mary his
espoused wife, being great with
child.
6. And so it was, that, while they
were there, the days were accomplish
ed that she should be delivered.
Z. And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in a
manger; because there was no room
for him in the inn.
8. And there were in the same
country sheperds abiding in the
field, keeping watch over their flock
by night.
9. And, 10, the angel of the Lord
came upon them, and the glory of
the Lord shone round about them:
and they were sore afraid.
TO- And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for behold, l bring you
good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to ALL PEOPLE.
II. For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which
is Christ the Lord.
IL. And this shall be a sign ur-
to you; Ye Shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying
in manger.
13. And suddenly there was with
the angel multitude of the heaven
ly host praising God, and saying,
IA. GLORY TO GOD IN THE
HIGHEST, AND ON EARTH PEACE,
GOOD WILL TOWARD MEN.
Is. And it came to pass, as the
angels were gone away from them
into heaven, the shepherds said one
to another, Let us now go even unto
Bethlehem, and see this thing which
is come to pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto us.
16. And they came with haste,
and found Mary, and Joseph, and the
babe lying in manger.
IT. And when they had seen it,
they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this
child.
18. And all that heard it wonder
ed at those things which were told
them by the shepherds.
10. But Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in her
heart.
20. And the shepherds return
ed, glorifying and praising God for
all the things that they had heard and
seen, as it was told unto them
The Coolidge examiner., 1936-12-24

80. And when they had perform
ed all things according to the law Of
the Lord, they returned into Galilee,
to their own city Nazareth
40. And the child grew and wax
ed strong in spirit, filled with wis
dom: and the grace of God was upon
him.
al. Now his parents went to
Jerusalem every year at the feast of
the passover.
AZ. And when he was twelve
years old, they went up to Jerusalem
after the custom of the feast.
43. And when they had fulfilled
the days, as they returned, the child
Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem;
and Joseph and his mother knew not
Of it.
ID. But they, supposing him to
have been in the company, went a
days journey; and they sought him
among their kinsfolk and acquaint-
ance.
As. And when they found him not,
they turned back again to Jerusalem,
seeking him.
46. And it came to pass, that after
three days they found him in the
temple, sitting in the midst of the
doctors, both hearing them, and ask
ing them questions.
A. And all that heard him were
astonished at his understanding and
answers.
48. And when they saw him, they
were amazed: and his mother said un-
to him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt
with us? behold, thy father and I
have sought thee borrowing.
40. And he said unto them, How
is it that We sought me? wist we not
that must be about my fathers
business?
so. And they understood not the
saying which he spake unto them.
81. And he went down with them,
and came to Nazareth, and was sub
ject to them: but. his mother kept all
thaSe sayings in her heart.
So. And Jesus increased in wis
dom and stature, and in favour with
God and man.
'To God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will toward men,"
and there was no room for them IN
the inn," but ''the angel said unto
them, Fear not: for behold, | bring
you good tidings of great joy, which
shall be to all people"
Yes, it is the sweetest story ever
told-the whole Christmas spirit was
built around it, and today, thousands
of years after the birth of Jesus
Christ, Christian peoples everywhere
are cOmmemOrating the anniversary
of the birth of the meek and lowly
Nazarene, who was cradled in
manger because "there was no room
in the inn"
In unison with Christian peoples in
all nations, The Examiner today eX-
presses its good will" to "all people"
and wishes them a Merry Christmas

n The Third Chapter Of St. Luke

21. And when eight days were ac-
cOmplished for the circumcising of
the child, his name was called
JESUS, which was so named of the
angel before he was conceived in the
womb.
22. And when the days of her
publication according to the law of
Moses were accomplished, they
brought him to erusalem, to present
him to the Lord.
23. CAS- it was written in the law
of the Lord, Every male that openeth
the womb shall be called holy to the
Lord;)
"a. And to offer sacrifice ac-
cording to that which is said in the
law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves.
or two young pigeons.
25 And, behold, there was man
in Jerusalem, whose name was
Simeon; and the same man was just
and devout, waiting for the consola-
tion of Israel: and the Holy Ghost
was upon him.
26 And it was revealed unto him
by the Holy Ghost, that he should not
see death, before he had seen the
Lords Christ
27. And he came by the Spirit in
tn hn tno nj L,
brought in the child Jesus, to do for
him after the custom of the law.
28 Then took he him up in his
arms, and blessed God, and said,
20 Lord now lettest thou thv
servant depart in peace, according to
thy word:
30. For mine eyes have seen thy
salvation,
81. Which thou has prepared be-
fore the face of all people;
30. A light to tighten the Gentiles,
and the glory Of thy people Israel.
33. And Joseph and his mother
marvelled at those things which were
spoken Of him.
81. And Simeon blessed them,
and said unto Mary his mother, Be-
hold, this child is set for the fall and
rising again Of many in Israel; ard
for sign which shall be spoken
against;
25. We, a sword shall pierce
thr>uGh Thy own soul also,) that the
thoughts of many hearts may be re-
vealed.
SO. And there was one Anna. a
prophecies, the daughter Of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Aser: she wab of
great age, and had lived with an
husband seven years from her virgini-
ty:
81. And she was a widow of about
fourscore and four years, which de-
parted not from the temple, but
served God with fasting and prayers
night and day
36. And she coming in that in
slant gave thanks likewise unto the
Lord, and spake of him to all them
that looked for redemption in
