WE ALL DO 1T

WE ALL ~ Ill
One of the most frequent prac-
tices and one which usually escapes
our notice yet which is a danger
note, is parking the car parallel and
then getting out of it ON the side
opening into the lane of traffic!
When you stop to think it over you
can remember all sorts of accidents
that might have happened to you
the many times you have done this
very thing. You are running a risk
for yourself and you are endangering
others as the line of traffic swings
hurriedly to one side when your
car door opens. That means dodg-
ing and danger for another line of
travel. BY using precaution and OBJ
serving FIRST before you step out
you may safely proceed. But watch
the fellow who will park his auto,
shut off the motor, open his left
hand door and then BACK OUT of
the car without looking around:
Sometime traffic may not swing
aside and then what?

1t is being predicted that within
the next three months the country
will experience a transition into a
war economy. Controls will be more
exacting and there will be more bur-
denSom restrictions. Even this
country isn't so big and resorrceful
but that it will feel the burden and
the irk of a defense program as big
as the one now before it.

WE HAD AN IDEA

If honesty is the best policy why
is 1t so hard to practice it the
greatest percentage of the time?
A car expert recently made an at
tempt to find out the proportion of
honest garage mechanics throughout
the country. There has been much
said against repairmen who work
ON the car and charge for unneces-
sary and non-existent troubles. So
this man started across country in
a carefully reconditioned auto. Be-
fore entering a town he would dis
connect a wire which left about half
of the cars cylinders hitting. The
mans secretary would drive the car
into a nearby garage where any sort
of a mechanic would know instant
ly what was wrong the minute he
looked under the hood. It wouldn't
take a second to connect the wire
and tell the lady that everything was
all right. There were 347 garages
that were tested and in 129 of them
the condition was Immediately rec
ognized and fixed with only a small
charge or none at all. The other
places suggested all sorts of troubles
and remedies and cleaning the car
bureator and installing new clutch
were among the suggestions. The av-
erage charge was 81 for something
that 81 mechanics had felt wasn't
worth a fee at all! The rest of in
tegrity found that mechanics in
towns of under 10000 population
were more honest than in the large
cities. Most of us here have at some
time or another been taken in be-
cause of our lack of mechanical
knowledge. And most of us in Ken
newick patronize a garage where we
know that we are getting fair and
honest service.

The occupation of Iceland by the
United States in the interest of
hemisphere defense is generally ap-
proved. There seems to be a feeling
that if there are any other islands
off our shores that are needed for
our defense now is the time to take
them. It is a case in which possess
sion is little more than nine tenths.

PARKER IS NAMED
NEWS OFFICE HEAD
Raleigh Newspaperman APP
pointed Successor to Thomp-
son by Broughton

RALEIGH, Feb. II. -lRH
Charles J. Parker, since 1888 city
editor of The Raleigh News and

He succeeds Robert L. Thomp-
son, who resigned to direct publ
city for the Asheville chamber Of
commerce and Western North
Carolina, Inc.
Announcing the appointment
Governor Broughton said the duty
of covering the legislature woulo
prevent Parker's taking the posi-.
ton until March l but that between
now and then he would spend as
much time as possible in beginning
the work.
The job pays $4,000 a year.
Parker is 80 and a native OF
Raleigh. He attended the Citadel
in Charleston, S. c., and the Uni.
versity of North Carolina, where
he graduated in 1922.
He began his newspaper career
on the News and Observer in 1922,
and two years later went to the
Raleigh Times, where he was city
editor in 1925. In that year, he
resigned to accept a similar post
on the Palm Beach, Fla, World.
He also served as city editor Of
the Sarasota, Fla, Herald before

City. He served a short while on
the Greensboro Record and re.
turned to Raleigh with the AS
sociated Press.

he News and Observer and was
promoted to the city desk in 1888.
For several years he has been
active in the North Carolina Press

fitting in view of Parker's inter-
est in the ablishment of the
State News Bureau in the Depart
ment of Conservation and develop
ment in 1887.
Parker had the endorsements of
the president and secretary of the
press association and many lead
ing editors. 5
