to begin work within the next few
days, officers said. '*
“The production committee appre-
ciates the splendid response from all
the towns and communities of the
county. And especialy do we appre-
ciate the help we have had from
some who live in adjoining counties,”
Mrs. Graham said.
“It is the desire of the committee
that every woman in Young county
be given an opportunity to do some
Red Cross knitting or searing. Those
who have not been contacted but who
would like to have a part in this
worthwhile work may do so by call-
ing on the chairman in their commun-
ity or at the production room in the
basement of the Memorial Auditor-
ium hi Graham. There is work that
everybody can do and everybody is

body else next Christmas!”

Pointing to the experience over the
three-day Decoration Day holidays
—when the'National Safety Council
forecast 400 deaths, which figures
were proven by reports of press serv-
ices compiled from their correspond-
ents—Mr. Jones called attention to
the fact that July 4 brings out more
motorists than any other holiday in
the year, and is also the one when
aaccidents reach their peak.
"Expedience since repeal,” j. said
Mr. Jones, “shows that approximate-
ly one-fourth of all Automobile ac-
cidents are caused by persons who
had been drinking. Either motorists
or pedestrians are listed by state
highway statisticians as being' ‘obvi-
ously drunk’ ora* having ‘ability im-
needed to get it done,” concluded
Mrs. Graham.
