Attention Called
To Signs OF Life

Raleigh-Know and heed the
"Signs of Life''.
This is the reminder to motorists
and pedestrians from the North Car
olina Department of Motor Vehicles
today.
"Signs of Life,'' explained Jeff
b. Wilson, director of the Highway
Safety Division, "are the traffic
signs, signals, and pavement mark
ing in use to protect and guide us.
This program to emphasize the i'm
portance of these devices is a part
of the National Safety Councils
year-round Operation Safety pro-
ject, which is sponsored in North
Carolina by the Department"
The Operation Safety plan brings
to the public's attention different
phase Of traffic safety each month,
Wilson said.
Although traffic engineers have
devised and standardized signs, sig
nails and pavement markings to the
point where they cover practically
every situation that the motorist
and pedestrian is likely to encount-
er, Wilson stated, carelessnesses,
and the failure to observe and heed
these signs, is a factor in a great
many accidents.
"For that reason" he said, 1--WE
should review some of the ways in
which we can make for safer and
more efficient motor traffic through
IA closer observance of these signs,
signals and pavement markings
The 10 suggestions that Wilson
Offered were:
1. Learn the shapes of the basic
highway signs so that you can recog-
nize them Immediately. They are:
round markers at approaches to rail
road crossings; oblong signs that in
dicate speed limits and other regu-
lations; diamond-shaped signs which
mean reduce speed; eight-sided
signs which mean reduce speed;
eight-sided signs which mean stop;
crossbucks that mark all highway
rail crossings; and square signs
which mean caution.
2. Regard, and obey, all traffic
control devices as though they were
flesh-and-blood policemen.
8. Do not become careless on fam
iliar roads. Familiarity breeds con-
tempt. y
4. Control your speed so that you
can observe the "Signs of Life"
5. Stay in your correct lane, and
heed the yellow mo passing" zones.
6. Remember that the stop sign
means complete stop-not mere
reduction of speed
7. Slow down for all round and
diamondshaped signs.
8. Be sure that all tracks are clear
at railroad crossings.
! 9. Be cautious when walking with
the traffic signals in pedestrian
cross-walks. Such devices are not
fool-proof insurance against vehic-
les.
10. Do not cross railroad tracks
when lights, bells, or other waring
signals are working. A slow freight
may become a flyer.
"a conscientious observance of
these points," Wilson said, 'would
help immeasurably in reducing the
annual toll of accidents and fatail-
ties resulting from passive atti-
tude toward traffic signs and sig
nails. The June slogan for the Motor
Vehicle Departments program,
Signs of Life-Heed Them," is al
most an understatement. Perhaps
it should be Signs of Life-Heed
Than Or Elsop''

THE WORST

Worlds War" Is his latest work.
The Book OF Revelations out
lines many disasters to occur on
earth. God used Noah to prophecy
that the earth would have a
disastrous flood. Read Genisis, the
9Th Chapter.
There are many disasters hap
pening now due to accidents and
weather conditions. These are the
fulfillment of that symbolic pro-
phecy of the Sth Verse of the 9Th
Chapter of Revelations.
There are six Seals mentioned
in the said Chapter to be opened.
The first three Seals have been
fulfilled. The fourth seal opening
speaks of a Jockey named Death
to Ride a Pale Horse. Compare
lively speaking the quoted disasters
are the results of sins by adults,
teen-agers and children, which are
being committed by them day by
day, and II is the same things
that caused the flood to occur
in the days of Noah.
Jesus, said that the days of
Noah would be repeated or dupli-
Gated and He further said if He
didn't come to shorten those days,
there wouldn't be any flesh saved
Read the Gath Chapter of st.
Matthew from the LIST Verse to the
S9th Verse.
The Coming Third Worlds War
will be the climax disaster ac-
cording to Biblical prophecy. God
has prepared a colored man that
was rocked In the Black mans
cradle in Africa to conquer the
said war.

SPOKANE NEWS
JUDGE REDUCES
AWARD

Judge Charles w. Greenough
ruled in a memorandum opinion
that the $4,000 verdict a Jury
gave F. A. Stokes against Mrs.
Rosa d. Malone last November 90
was excessive beyond any justifi-
cation"
The judge said in his opinion
that, unless Stokes consents with
in 10 days to a reduction of the
verdict to 5000. the court will
grant motion for a new trial.
Stokes, for many years an Off
cial in the Sopkane branch of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored people. filed
suit for $4,000 damages against
Mrs. Malone, executive secretary
of the Booker 7. Washington Cen
ter, alleging she sent a telegram
to the national headquarters of
the NAACP describing Stokes as
a Communist"
The judge ruled any damages
Stokes may have suffered to his
reputation In Spokane because of
the publication of the telegram
was caused by his own publica-
ton of the libelous words"
No one here would have
known about the Communist"
charge Mrs. Stokes made in the
telegram if Stokes had not read
the telegram aloud at a meeting
of the local branch of the NAACP
after the national secretary, who
received it, mailed 1t back to
Stokes, the judge commented.
From the fact that the nation
al secretary and the national as
ISOLATION did nothing to halt
Stokes in his activities against
continuation of Booker T. Wash
ington Center, 1t is obvious his
reputation was not damaged In
the estimation of the national
secretary or the national asso-
citation, the judge ruled.
Mrs. Malone sent the telegram
during controversy in which a
Negro faction led by Stokes was
asking the Community Chest to
! discontinue support of the Book
er T. Washington Center on
grounds it fostered racial segre-
cation and discrimination. Com
munity Chest support of the cen
ter was withdrawn.
Commenting on that, Judge
Greenough said he believed from
the evidence that the center
twas serving most useful and
needed purpose in Spokane. !.
AS it was operated it contribute
ed to break down barriers and
distinction between races rather
than to foster racial tension and
segregation.
"The evidence indicates, also,
that those opposing the center
were only small but organized
minority of the Negro popula-
ton"

Senator Russell OGa.). made
the proposal coupling it with an
attack on the Truman civil rights

against lynching and poll tax and
against discrimination in en-

The immediate reaction on Cap

plan, though he told reporters he

to support it. His aim was be-
