Always Be Careful" is the slogan
this week, relative TO the operation
Of automobiles. II put in practice.
you cannot go wrong 1t covers a
multitude OF don'ts and puts you on
the safe side at the same time.
This is an old topic, but never
goes amiss, for you cannot be too
careful at anytime. Many persons
have found this to be true-being
unmindful of this saying-and have
regretted it bitterly either as a
result OF injury or death Of some
one. It is not only a slogan, but
there is a purpose and warning
behind il that should be needed,
With the increasing number OF
traffic accidents-avoidable ones
we pause to wonder what the causes
are. You may not attach much i'm
portance TO it at the present time.

Will you wait till then? Other loved
ones are just as precious to their
families as yours are to you. Won't
you consider them? Even if it takes
longer to be careful isn't the price
worth it, It may save many heart
ache and many a dollar Think of
that.
I know you viii think OF the
children starting back to school and
show them the courtesy Of careful
driving This is a protection to them,
as many times they dart in and out
between cars, giving little or no
thought to peril Watch out for
them?
This is your license 10 drive car:
To be wstchfui ever where children
are;
To travel the streets and keep in

And accidents come from lack Of

Special Tax
 May Be put
 On, Defense
President Says National Protection Costs May
 Go Up Half Billion

WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Nov. A. President Roosevelt disclosed today that some consideration is being given the idea of a special tax to finance expenditures for national defense which expense may be in creased by a half billion dollars dur ing the next fiscal year.
 These defense expenditures, the President indicated at his press con- ference, will be in excess of two bil- lion dollars, but probably not as high as two billion three hundred mil lion dollars.
 The President differentiates, in- cidentally, between appropriations and expenditures for defense.
 Questions about business taxa tion led the President to a discus sion of defense and it's financing He said the objective of the Admin istration will be to cut down all ex- penditures and possibly could be whittled at the present time, assum- ing that reductions can be made in the budget and that Congress does mt appropriate large sums beyond budget estimates of tax revenues.
 Increasing tax revenues, as they are now, the President said would result in reducing of this years deficit.

ENGLAND MAKES STATEMENT OVER
 ARREST, AGENTS
Explains Men Bound for Germany 10 Study
 Peace Proposals

LONDON. Nov. 24.-The British Ministry of Information discloses the government had received secret peace proposals from Germany
 The disclosure was made in con- nection with a British explanation for the presence of two secret agents, Sigmund Best and Capt Richard Stevens, in The Netherlands when they were seized by German secret police.
 The two British agents were kid naped across the frontier by Ger man agents near Venloo on the night after the attempted assassina- tion of Chancellor Hitler at Munich on November 8.
 The Nazis charged Best and Capt. Stevens were implicated in the bombing of the Nazi beer hall in Munich.
 The Ministry of Information is- sued a statement in reply to a com munique from The Netherlands gov- ernment.
 The Netherlands communique had stated that the two British sub jects, Capt. Stevens and Best, had displayed documents showing that they were authorized to make con- tact with German agents to examine the possibilities of peace negotia- tions.
 The Dutch statement said they had been accompanied by Nether- lands officer who had been ordered to keep watch on them.
 Said the British statement: Tt is observed in London that the semi official statement from The Hague may give rise to some misunder- standing. The fact was that the proposal for peace negotiation had come solely from the German side The British subjects concerned had done no more than convey the pro- posals made from the German side to their authorities. When they were kidnapped by agents of the Gestapo they were proceeding to place near the Dutch frontier to receive yet further German peace proposals. The suggestion that there was any necessity for their action to be sup ervised by a Dutch officer is strange since it would seem to be new principle for international law that to receive peace proposals in such circumstances could constitute any infringement of Dutch neutrality
