DOWN

EARTH
OUR LAUGHTER HAS MANY
AND VARIOUS FACES
By
CARLTON
MORRIS
Editor, The Index
GutesVille, N. c.

LAUGHTER is one of the
greatest outlets of emotion that
is bestowed upon the human race.
We laugh when the going is good
and we smile when we are sad.
There are thousands of faces for
our laughter for we never stop
smiling and laughing from morn
ing till night, year in and year
out.
WE LAUGH at our own antics
and we laugh at our neighbors
and the only thing that can still
our laughter is to see ouselves
as others see>us. But we can never
do that for like the blind men we
see the elephant from many and
various directions and never do
two of us view the world through
the same glasses.
OLD JOHN was a fit subject
for our laughter for he was lone
ly old man almost stone deaf.
Sometimes he did odd jobs around
town. He moved the yards and
raked the leaves and hoed the
gardens and lived in little shack
where he could mutter and
grumble and would bother no one.
When he could get enough money
togther he walked five or sin
miles to a bootlegger and got a
shot of raw corn likker. Then John
felt as big as the biggest and how
we did laugh at his antics when
he had shot or two under his
old skin.
ON OCCASION he would get all
of his money in a lump and then
he would really get loaded or per-
haps some of the boys would give
him dram or two, then he would
blunder down the street headed
for his little home where he could
be alone to enjoy the blank sleep
of alcohol. When we folks around
town saw old John staggering
homeward on rubbery legs, we
would laugh and laugh.
THERE GOES old john" we
would laugh, "and he's really load
ed"
ONCE IN a while old John
would walk out in front of car
or truck but we were all careful
to avoid running him down. Not
a one of US would harm him for
anything in the world. No sif, we
just laughed and laughed.
THE OTHER day old John bor-
rowed bicycle and rode five or
six miles to a bootlegger. He made

economically is measured over
a 10O-mile route. Each driver
is accompanied by an adult OBJ
server who checks to see that
all traffic and safety laws are
Obeyed. For each infractiOn, the
driver is penalized One-tenth
of a gallon of gasoline. Viola
tiOns may easily cost the driver
a victory.
The three drivers in each con-
test who use the smallest amount
of gas are awarded trophies at
the high school assembly.
At a competition in Evanston,
ILL.,, safety leaders from all over
the country watched 81 Evanston
Township High School students
compete.
The participants averaged 10
miles to the gallon, and one of
the two girls entered in the
Evanston contest emerged as
winner, with an average of
20.65 miles a gallon.
Proof Of the programs accept
ance is plentiful. Police officials
educators and safety experts
have praised the runs.
AS one youthful contestant
put it, "The safety-economy
run taught me that it's sensi-
BILE and thrifty to drive safely"

out pretty good too considering
he is not accustomed to riding a
bike. He made out pretty good
on the way there but on the way
back he didn't do so good. Either
the bike dumped him or a car
came along with a driver that
didn't know old John was pretty
near stone deaf and hit him. No
one is sure just what happened,
but he was dumped on the pave
ment and hurt right bad.
PRETTY SOON the word got
out around town that old John
had been dumped from a bicycle
and everyone laughed and laughed.
Some laughed until they almost
cried about old John falling from
that bicycle.
THEY TOOK him to the hospi-
tai and he began to act real bad.
He got out his old pocket knife
and tried to fight off everyone.
Some said he must have got a
load of fighting likker while others
thought he was just mean. Some
thought he had some broken ribs
and maybe conclusion from his
fall from the bicycle. But it was
right funny, him trying to fight
off the doctors and nurses who
were trying to help him.
AFTER a while he got so bad
they sent him to Dix Hill to see if
the folks at the asylum could do
with him.
EVERYONE. AROUND town
felt sorry for old John for his lik-
ker and chewing tobacco and
pocket knife were taken away
from him and that was just about
all he had left Everyone knows
that the folks at Dix Hill will not
allow corn likker in that place even
if a man had the money to buy it
and old John has no money.
THINGS ARE kind of quiet
since they sent old John away and
there isn't too much to laugh
about, what with a lot of bad
weather hindering crop planting
and talk of depression just
around the corner, but sometimes
we speak about old John and laugh
and laugh.

. cording to the National Safety
Council, because they Hdn't know
how to solve driving emergencies.
So if you don't score 100 per-
cent on this quiz, better learn the
answers to those you missed. You
will be thankful that you did!
QUESTIONS
What would you do if the
following situations occurred
while driving at a fairly high
rate of speed on the highway?
1. You hit a curve and fear
you'll lose control of the car.
2. A tire blows out.
3. Your right front tire drops
off the pavement.
A. Your headlights go out.
5. The hood flies up, shutting
off your vision.
ANSWERS TO SAFETY QUIZ
l. Avoid jerking the wheel in
the opposite direction or slam
ming on the brakes while your
wheels are turned. If you must
apply brakes, straighten your
wheels an instant, brake briefly,
then let up on the brakes and
turn the steering wheel to keep
on the road.
2. Unless there are other cars
or objects directly in your path,
don't touch the brakes. The best
way to regain control is to grip
the steering wheel tightly and
let the engine slow you down.
IT it's a rear tire that blows,
steer to keep it straight-but be
careful not to oversteer.
3. Continue straight ahead and
slow down gradually. Keep a
light touch on the gas pedal to
maintain control and let the car
roll evenly until stopped.
4. Switch to your low beams,
spot light, fog lights or parking
lights. If you have no lights at
all, hold the wheel steadily,
slow down and stop. To avoid
such emergencies, have your
cars wiring system checked
frequently.
s. Try to peer under the hood
or lean out the window to see
ahead until you can steer safely
off the road.

ton and teach them that high
speeds, slack rabbit" starts,
sharp turns and sudden stops
will sharply reduce gas mileage.
Officials who sponsor the jun
Tor runs believe that, although
most teenagers possess mechan-
ical ability and are skilful driv-
ers, some lack the proper mental
attitude for safe driving.
Through these high school con-
tests, held throughout the coun-
try, they hope to persuade young
motorists that safe driving is as
socially acceptable as making the
football team or the honor roll.
In the runs, usually limited
to about IS participants, abili-
