weren't absorbed with the radio
program, perhaps you could have
scrambled out of the way of the
fool driver.
Most of us ought to know by
this time that there are always
lot of fool drivers on the road.
Therefore, it isn't enough to just
drive carefully and say: eff I get
hit it's the other drivers fault"
In addition; to obeying the rights
of the road yourself, you must be
prepared to defend yourself
against a dangerous driver who
may always be approaching
around the next curve.
A lot can be done by the po-
lice. A lot more probably will be
done by them. But meanwhile,
let's all of us be constantly on
guard to keep out of the way of
those drivers who ought to be in
Jail, but aren't.
Many a tombstone is erected on
the grave of man who wasn't
at fault.

THREE KILLED MONDAY
IN AUTO-TRUCK WRECK

that one Parkway service truck
had pulled to the side of the road
and had stopped in order that the
driver could clear the windshield
of ice. The truck driven by WACO
ner, cut around this parked truck
and evidently without seeing the
approaching car driven by An
drew South ran head-on into it.
Both cars were badly damaged.
The Parkway truck was report
ed to be carrying Is WPA workers
from their homes in the Spring
field community in Wilkes coun-
ty, to their work on the Park
way project.
AS the Parkway is under the
supervision of the Federal gov
eminent, the accident was in
vestigated Ranger r. H. Coombs,
State highway patrolman Thomas
said yesterday, however that a
warrant charging Wagner with
manSlaughter had been isued and
that charges would probably also
be preferred against the driver of
the truck parked on the edge of
the highway when the accident
occurred.
The accident happened on a
comparatively straight section of
the Parkway in section 2 D, Sta
ton 129. 1t was reported that it
was raining and ice was freezing
on the windshield.
Funeral service for Luther Mil
Ter was held yesterday at the
home, and at this time another
tragedy occurred. His grandmoth-
erer Rebecca Miller, 80 fell dead
as she stepped forward to view
the remains. Her funeral will pro-
badly be held on Friday morning
at the Severt cemetery with Elder
Worth Davis in charge, it was
stated.
Luther Miller is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Mary Miller, five
brothers and five sisters.
Ulysses Yates was buried yes
terday morning at the Orion GEM
etery following services at the
Orion Baptist church, conducted
by Rev. Ezekiel Sexton. He is
survived by his wife and five
children, Jackie, Bernard, Arm
old, Shirley and John Richard.
Funeral service for David c..
Smith will be held this afternoon
at the home at 2 o'clock and bu-
rial will follow in the family GEM

Blevi11s Makes
Good Record In
Naval Training
Grassy Greek Man Selected AS
Honor Man" of Platoon.
More Men Needed.

Albert William Blevins, age 81,
of Grassy Creek, who enlisted in
the Navy, at Raleigh, on October
~, was selected as "honor man"
of platoon 287, U. S. Naval train
ing station, Norfolk, last month,
it was announced here this week.
"This man was introduced by
Upton Blevins on the evening
that we displayed the movie show
at the Community building. Due
to his lack Of formal education
and past occupation, we were sur
prised and indeed gratified to
learn that he had out-foxed his
better educated shipmates. It
shows that good country horse
sense can pay off," James L.
Brown, of the Salisbury recruit
ing office, wrote the Navy editor
of The Post.
However, we do not under
stand why we are not getting
some enlistments from Ashe coun-
ty since war was declared" he
stated.
All young men in the county
are urged to join the Navy or
Naval reserve. They offer much
to young men as well as a great
opportunity to serve the nation
now. The Post will be glad to &C
cept all preliminary applications.

Conserve Auto and Tires

A month ago the worries of having an
automobile for about 25,OO0,O0O people in
the United States were an occasional tire
puncture, the gas and oil bill finance pay
ments and finding place to park!
But suddenly after the Japanese attack
on the Philippines, our government has
found it necessary to ration tires, tubes and
even automobiles. In addition to that, there
is a possibility that many motorists may
have to give up their car altogether.
The reason for this action is due, in a
large measure, to the fact that eighty-five
per cent of the worlds supply of raw rub
Der is in the Malayan peninsula and the
Netherlands East Indies, where the Japs
are now concentrating their fighting. And
the rationing of automobiles is being
planned in order that practically all metal
materials may be used speedily to build
up a great modern war machine in this
country
The rubber problem, which is now the
number one war problem in America, may
be solved later by vast development in
the manufacture of synthetic rubber and
by extensive tapping of the rubber trees
in South America, which are comparatively
undeveloped.
The acute non-defense automotive prob.
lem may be relieved within a few months
time by the speed of American manufac-
turers in producing enough war machinery
to meet the demands After comparative
saturation point has been reached in this
production, it is quite likely that q good
deal of production capacity will be shifted
to filling civilian needs
Such course would seem wise because
to finance this gigantic war, the home
fronts must function as nearly normally as
possible and certainly the automobile and
truck are essentials in the operation of
most manufacturing, wholesale, retail bust
nesses, as we'll as in agriculture
It is, therefore, highly imperative that
everyone adjust himself and his business to
this condition. In the past many motorists
have treated their automobiles with abuse
because they felt that the autos could be
they must realize that the present machine
will have to be handled with exceptional
care.
One of the main factors that wears out
car and tires is speed If every motorist
will set 40 mile per hour speed limit for
himself, tires will last much longer and
repair bills will be decreased. Jackrabbit
starts and short stops are also hard on car
and on tires. Wheel alignment should be
checked often and wheel positions should
be changed every 5000 miles. Tires should
be checked regularly to see that they are
properly inflated. When tires get worn.
have them retreated. A retreaded tire, if
done correctly, will give eighty per cent as
much wear as new tire.
Drive carefully and lengthen the life of
your car, as we'll as yourself!

Japan"
 Gandhi called Uoth the raid and the public reprehensible, and said "illegitimate use" was being made of documents.
 T never even in my most un- guarded moment expressed the opinion that Japan and Germany would win the war; The said. Mot only that--I often said they could not win If Britain would only once and for all shed her imperialism"
 He said he would make another appeal for a provisional free 1a- dian government" and added:
 Send me. old as I am, to Japan and I would plead with her in the first instance to free China, her great neighbor."
 Gandhi admitted, that in the original draft of an Independence resolution drafted at Congress committee meeting at Wardha. he proposed negotiations with Japan.
 T purosely incorporated the sen- tence about negotiations he said, land if ultimately it was dropped I associate myself with the deletion."
 Gandhi explained that the idea that negotiations" would mean let ting in the Japanese army was merely the interpretation of Nehru, at whose irsistence the sentence was dropped.

SOviets Battle To
 Prevent Smashing Up
ecOntinued from Page i)

The government organ Izvestia said the odds were already over wheIming, and that the Germans still increased their pressure. It saw new armored and motorized units ha dbeen brought from France.
 4 report that five Russian tanks had repulsed three attacks by 20 enemy tanks, supported by tommy Rlinners, illustrated the odds the Red army was sighting. Tn another engagement, a Russian artillery unit destroyed 20 tanks, two armored cars and Q company of tommy gunners.
 Tn a third engagement, the Rus sians destroyed seven of IA tanks that attacked them. A battalion of anti-tank riflemen repulsed 150 German tanks and destroyed IT, but eventually had to withdraw to new positions.
 The profusion with which the Germans used tanks showed that they had thrown the greater part of their Panzer forces into fighting around Bielayaglina, military ob- servers said.
 The retreat around Tsimlyanskaya was the first reported in several days, although the Germans had thrown both tanks and infantry across the Don river there to ad- vance on Stallngrad in conjunction with a force trying to get across the river ar, und Kletskaya, on the north side of the bend.
 Tsimlyanskaya is halfway between Stalingrad and Rostov. KletSkaya is -5 mil s northwest of Stalingrad and the last midnight communique had reported a Soviet retreat around Kletskaya.

The minister said he told the priest to contact the German con- sulate in Baltimore. At this time, Rev. Evers said, Father Pelypenko was dlressed in a long, flowing cas- sock, priests robe.
 Twice more he met with the Uk- ranian priest, the Baltimore min- ister said.
 Father Pelypenko told him, Rev. Evers testified, that he was being financed by the Greman govern ment to work among the Ukrainians in the United States.
 The last time he saw the priest was at an immigration station at Baltimore. Rev. Evers said. At this meeting, they only greeted each other.
 Rev. Eyers said he and Rev. Molzahn frequently discussed the German-American Bund, and that once, Rev. Molzahn told him the Bund twas detrimental to German and American interests"
 Today's session was marked by frequent and bitter exchanges be- tween counsel, and a crowde court room, with spectators sitting on the window sills and punched tightly along the sides, ate 1t up.

REPUBLICANS NOT
 TO BACK WILLKIE
tContinued from Page 1.)


 That after the war i've must set up institutions and methods of in- ternational, political and economic cooperation"
 Senator John A. Danaher, R., Conn, said that If the party were to adopt that program 1t might just as well nominate Democrats and be done with It."
 Senator George D. Aiken, R., Vt, said that anyone could agree with Willkie's first point.
 His last point, though. would take a great dea of study" Aiken said. "All of us are in favor of closer cooperation with other na- tions. With the annihilation of dis tance, that has got to come.
 Labor in Competition
 But If 1t means unrestricted in- migration and putting our labor in competition with the exploited peo- ples of other countries-that is something on which we had better go easy. Human nature is going to exist after the war as 1t did before. We are going to have ambitions men and ambitious nations"
 Aiken said he did not believe 1t Willkie's duty to write platform for the Republican party-just yet"
 Senator Alexander Wiley, R., Wis. said Willkie's statement expressed "the same great hopes and ideals that this people had during the last war"
 Perhaps" he said, i've and other peoples will, after victory is achieved, be sufficiently advanced to achieve the result suggested in point 3. At least my prayer is that we will be.
 Tn the post war period we must ever bear in mind the need to be fully, constantly and realistically on guard. We must be alert and see to it that there will be no Pearl Harbors in the peace, and no Bataans, either. We don't want America and her values traded for a mess of international pottage, or sold short by our servants. We need practical idealists in that picture, looking out for Americas interests. " |. Others objected that Willkie's proposals could have no official standing since there was no way in which the party could go formally on record this year.
 
 War has dwarfted Swiss avia- tion.
