Trade Extension TLt°n
Monthly oupper
Committee Will
Meet Tomorrow
Members of the Trade Extension
committee of the Graham Chamber
of Commerce will meet Wednesday
morning at 10 o’clock in the Cham-
ber of Commerce offices to discuss
plans for 1040.
Among other project*, the commit-
tee, of which Bob Cobb is chairman,
has sponsored the livestock auction
in Graham each Thursday and the
Hospitality Day programs on Thurs-
days. A recent survey of business-
men has shown a majority highly
pleased with the Hospitality Day
and it will probably be continued
through 1040 to continue to bring
people to Graham from surrounding'
areas, Mr. Cobb states.
The following letter has been sent
to all Graham merchants by the
Chamber of Commerce office:
“A survey last week showed that
a majority of those participating
in the Hospitality Day program
wanted to continue with this or
some similar work.
"With this in mind. Bob Cobb and
his Trade Extension Committee want
you to meet with them Wednesday
morning in the Chamber of Com-
merce office at 10 o’clock.

President Says
Leaders Must Have
Good Motives
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—In his
Jackson Day speech Monday night,
President Roosevelt warned party
leaders that it will be the indepen-
dent voters who will decide the No-
vember election. He also added
what some regarded as his pre-
scription for the party’s presidential'
nominee.
“Motive in the long run is what
counts—motive accompanied by good
manners,” he told the party’s glit-
tering Jackson Day dinner. “If lead-
ers have good motives and good
manners and—at the same time,
knowledge of the different parts of
the country and plenty of experi-
ence, you can be fairly safe in as-
suming that they won't wreck your
government.”
Then, lasping into a vein of pleas-
antry which ran throughout the ad-
dress, he said that other qualities
were needed, among ttiem:

Graham finished 193!! with a clean
slate of no traffic fatalities within
the city limits during the year, ac-
cording to reports of local officers,
a» compared to a record of two
deaths due to automobile accidents
during the year 1938.
Five fatalities were reported for
Young county for the year, a reduc-
tion from 1938’s seven deaths and
1937’s record of 10 deaths within
the county. However, numerous oth-
er accidents occurred, both in the
city limits and outside, in which
persons were injured, some serious-
ly. Intoxication and driving too fast
for conditions were responsible foe
many collisions.
Local highway officers attribute
the lowering of the traffic fatalities
to: engineering by th4 state high-
way department, widening of high-
ways and other methods of safe-
guarding; education in driving safe-

movies and newspaper articles; and
