Safety Council Notes

7 would like to invite every
citizen in Delaware to join the ma
ton in a LIVE Christmas CeIebra-
tion.
This Christmas invitation was
rendered by H. w. 4. Purnell, Vice
president for Sussex County for the
Delaware Safety Council, today as
.he gave his support to the Holiday
Hazards program now being con-
Quoted by the Delaware Safety
Council and the National Safety
Council.
Mr. Purnell reminded local citi-
zens that "the mixture of last
minute shopping, home celebrations,
Office parties, distracting holiday
sights and sounds, can lead to the
sometimes-tragic state of 'holi-
daze"
Mr. PurnelI said "holi-daze" is an
intangible thing, but is still a very
real hazard during this holiday
season.
TO make matters worse, he said
We're IN this state of 'hOli-daze'
just at the time when winter walk
ing and driving hazards are at
their height"
He said the National Safety Coun-
Gil figures showed that the traffic
death toll was usually higher in
December than in any other month
Of the year.
Motor vehicle deaths rise stead
ily from a point in February, until
they reach an all-year high in
December, he pointed out.
For this reason, he urged all
motorists and pedestrians" to
be extra alert, and to be certain to
continue to observe all common
sense. safety rules for staying alive

the people. Only persons of the highest
moral character should be entrusted with
the positionos. Unfortunately, there have
been many instances in Columbus County
in which such was not the case This is no
reflection upon those honest officials, but
the alcoholics and crooks can read the
handwriting on the wall and the chips can
fall where they may.
This election official situation is a
rather pathetic thing. Hundreds of people
simply refuse to have any part in it because
of the bad reputation politics has earned.
People take public offices too lightly and
simply smile when they say its too dirty

Until such a time as the citizenry
wakes up to the need for top character in

take enough interest to cast ballot. Such
nonchalance breeds corruption in govern
ment. We need to wake up and vote.
Democrats have that opportunity Satur-

reason is indicative of your lack of interest

When Will Voters Wake Up?

Saturday the citizenry and political
candidates will know who will hold Coun-
~, State and National offices from this
district Politicians will either be jubilant
or morose. But if the election is fair, if
money and false promises has not infflu-
enced the election of various candidates.
if election officials have acted with integ-
rity and followed their Christian con-
science, then democracy will have been ct
work.
If mudslinging, money passing and
false promises put any candidate into
office, then we can only hope that he will
sleep uneasily and be bothered by guilty
conscience just as long as he holds the
position.
Should any election official in Column
bus County use his place of trust dishon-
estly or attempt to influence voters to his
way OF thinking rather than remain impair
tial and fair as his duty demands, then we
can only wish for him nights and days of
discomfort and uneasiness as he frets over
his conduct.

best government on earth is only as good
as its office holders and those who elected
them. Precinct election officials along

Last year was a record pro-

previous season. Now if things

the production in the past, there
will not be as many yams planted
in this area this year and as
result the price will be higher

There's no doubt that they are
being consumed more and more
every year. That trend is almost
bound to continue for some time.
Here in our area we need to do
something about beating this
wire worm trouble that was so
bad in SO and continue to work
for better quality. If we succeed

We men who grew up In
the South, whose grandfathers
fought in the gray uniform,
whose aunts told us of the mag
nolia and crinoline days before
the war, need to search our souls.
Are there scars upon our hearts
which interfere with the free
flow of brotherly love and Chris
tian confidence. If so we need
to let the Great Surgeon, the
Lord Jesus Christ, touch our
hearts and make them whole.
Our uncleS fought under the
stars and stripes in 1898, we
fought under our flag in 1918,
and our sons in 1912, and in
1850. In practical affairs we do
not let nostalgia memories and
sectional pride come into con-
sIderation. In our Church life
we must look to the future and
to the upbuilding of Gods King
don in the hearts and lives of
men. We must let the Spirit of.
God heal our hearts of any scar
