Chamber of Commerce statec
yesterday.
In a statement to the Senat.
Foreign Relations Committee
the chamber also said the actua
sum asked for foreign aid pro-
grams next year is $4.4 billion
and not $40 billion as currently
stated by the administration.
Although either figure i.
above the $3.7 billion appropria
ton for foreign aid in fiscaI
1857. the chamber said that t.
date "the public has not beer
told why there should be an in.
crease"
The statement urged Congress
to demand a comprehensive
analysis of proposed expendi-
lures in order to permit a real
iStic assessment" Of foreign aid
programs proposed for the next
fiscal year.
Noting the administration
now represents its foreign aid
requests as only $50 billion, in
contrast to its earlier proposal
of $4.4 billion, the chamber
said the lower figure is contin-
gent on reappropriation of $500
million of unobligated foreign
aid funds. Since the $500 mil
lion normally would return to
the Treasury. no actual reduc-
ton in spending will result, the
chamber said.

SAFETY ON ROAD
MAY GIVE US a
HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Chicago.-If the nations drivers
continue to "Back the Attack on
Traffic Accidents" America may
have one of its safest and happiest
Christmases, the National Safety
Council said today.
In launching its annual Christ
mas safety campaign, the Council
said the traffic trend is encourag-
ing-but it also warned that high
way accidents and deaths reach
their peak at Christmas time.
During the first nine months of
this year traffic deaths dropped 8
per cent from the same period for
the previous year-a saving of 800
lives.
"If drivers can maintain this
rate of improvement, more than
1000 lives can be saved on the
highway in 1857" the Council said.
The success of the "Back the
Attack on Traffic Accidents" cam
paign in its first year has led the
Council to extend it through 1858
The purpose of the campaign is to
encourage public officials to step
up the attack on traffic accidents
and to stimulate acceptance OF
personal responsibility for safety.
Speed is a large factor in yule-
tide accidents, the Council said. II
increases the chances of an acct
dent, and it also decreases the
chances of drivers and passengers
coming out alive if an accident
occurs.
To determine a safe speed, the
Council said, drivers must take into
consideration:
1. Weather and visibility. Fog
rain, snow or darkness are caution
signs that should be needed.
2. Mechanical factors. Engine
power, ability to hold the road, anC
efficiency of all mechanical parts
have a definite bearing on selec
ton of safe speed.
8. Physical factors. Whether {
road is rough, smooth, billy, flat
curving or straight are considera
lions that should influence speed.
A. Personal factors. The driver
physical and mental condition ant
the speed at which he can safel!
control his car are important.
5. Traffic conditions. Driver
should adapt their speed to tn
traffic they meet. A safe spec
on a country road can be unsaf,
on a city street.

of her pupils, of course, may
think that she has her "unsaintly"

because saint would hardly

This Christmas, as usual, it is
safe to predict that Mary King
will be far more concerned with
what she is giving than what she
is getting, and a community is al
ways richer for the presence of
such a one. If public acknowledge

perhaps she will forgive one who

the December Current Population
Survey, according to Supervisor
Joseph r. Norwood of the Bureaus
regional office in Charlotte, which
will participate in the survey.
The questions on durable house
hold goods will cover electric vac

asked also.
The household goods information
is being collected for the U. S. De-

THE PAST
BY CAROLYN LLOYD
A TRIBUTE TO ONE WHOSE
CHARITY WEARS ALL YEAR

The Christmas season seems a
good time to pay tribute to one
who has always taken seriously
the commandment "Love thy
neighbor as myself" This Christ
mas, as in many past years, many
children will keep their faith in
Santa Claus because Mary King
Ellison Mitchell is determined that
they shall. Countless mothers have
turned to her for help when they
could find no way to provide a
Christmas for their families. Gen.
orally, Mary King knows their
needs before they ask; and many
who have been too proud to call
for aid have found her at theil
doors on Christmas Eve.
Mary Kings love for her neigh.
Dor is not the kind, however, that
blossoms forth only in the general
goodwill atmosphere of Christ
mas. Is someone sick? Mary King
is there with a cheerful word, {
gift, an offer of help. Is there {
bereavement in, the family? Mary
King is there to offer sympathy
and concrete help. Is someone
needed to play the piano or sing
at the funeral? Mary King will d.
it or see that it is done. Is Their,
a wedding? Mary King will serve
the refreshments, wash the dishe:
after the reception, or dress tn
bride, if necessary.
No child in this community ha
ever gone hungry with Mar!
Kings knowledge. If the sweaters
coats, boots, shoes, and othe
articles of clothing provided by he
for the needy were piled togethe
they would fill a warehouse
Though much of this she has don
through organizations, it would b
impossible to estimate the per
centage of her salary as teache
that has gone to meet the need
of others. Her gifts are not Away
tangible, however, for she is quic
to give the word of praise or en-
enlargement that is as importan
to the soul as food is to the body
"Neighbor" to Mary King doe
not mean just those who live O.
her street or attend the Methods
| Church. She recognizes no socia
boundaries, and there are fey
homes in the community in whic
she is not known. Her concern i
for the old, the lonely, the sad, o
the needy in whatever station o
life she might find them.
/ This may sound as though Mar
King wears halo and lives in
rarified atmosphere, when nothini
could be further from the truth
Her friends tease her about talk
ing so much, but that she canno
