COMMUNITY CHEST
NOT YET OVER TOP
500 or More Still Needed,
After County's $3.50
Contribution

Work is still being carried on in a
small way to round out the full a.
mount of the $3.50 sought for Hen
derson's first community chest and
Sam Afford, treasurer of the fund,
said today He added that it was now
apparently certain the full amount
would be realized, and he thought
that was a splendid achievement for
the first year Of the undertaking.
Several local concerns whose dona-
tions had to be approved by outside
Headquarters or homo offices have
not yet been heard from, but it is ex-
pected they will respond, and when
they do the project will be success,
Mr. Afford said.
At their monthly meeting last Mon
day, the Vance Board of County Com
missioners voted a donation of $3.50
for the purpose, .;-nce the chest is a
countrywide affai.. Something like
S1OO or $3.50 more IS needed to reach
the goal fixed.
Mr.. Afford also stated that dis
bursements from the fund will be
made quarterly to the nine agencies
sharing in the community'S gifts.
Each quarterly disbursement will be
for one-fourth OF, the proportionate
allotment, and if there is any sho:t-
age in payment of pledges, the effect
of that will be felt at The end of the
year when the final disbursement is
made.
1t was stated that so percent or
more of the entire amount had been
paid in cash as pledges were made
Mr. Afford thought that most of the
pledges were good and would be paid

LIQUOR AND DRIVING.

"The Toronto Highways Boar.9
gives leaflet:
"Whe one meets an emergency ii
driving an auto, what takes place is
briefly this: An image of an obstacle
S formed on the retina of the eye and
an impression is conveyed to the
brain. 1t is interpreted, and a judg
ment of the situation is formed. An
impulse is given through the motor
nerves to the muscles of the arm and
hand. The adjustment of brake,
clutch, stearing gear, etc. is then at
tempted. Scientific measurements
make it clear that this mental pro-
cess, with a man in normal condition,
takes about one-fifth of a second.
Experiments under the medical
Research Committee of England show
that when a man has taken as much
alcohol as is contained in two ounces
of whisky this process takes from two
fifths to three-fifths of a second.
"a drink or two of liquor means
loss of two-fifths of second in an
emergency. When it is recalled that
car going at thirty-five miles an
hour will travel between twenty and
twenty one feet in two-fifths of a sec
ond, one sees how seriously the mar
gin of safety is impaired. Your own
life and the lives of others are at
stake.
after drinking it is impossible to
drive carefully"
