Campaign Of Safety Can Save
Lives By Reducing
Accidents
(
Does it mean anything at all to
us here to learn that during last
year 4,100 children were killed by
motor vehicles? With an increase
of six per cent in traffic deaths re
corded for the first four months of
this year, surely something should
be done to curb this terrific toll.
In a few weeks, children will be
starting back to school. This means
that at certain times during the
day, crowds of children will be on
the sidewalks, the streets and the
country roads, going to and from
school. This increases the hazard
and, therefore, it is timely that this
matter be discussed and any plans
made that have to do with making
these children safer.
We realize that drivers of motor
vehicles are not always at fault in
these fatal accidents. The children
themselves, lacking in judgment,
often dart out from behind parked
automobiles into the paths of on
coming vehicles. They do other just
as foolish things which often result
fatally.
We believe that a campaign
should be conducted in every school

STATE BUYS 450
BUS CHASSIS
•Chevrolet Motor Company was
the largest order for auto
motive equipment ever placed by
North Carolina, calling for the de
livery of 450 bus chassis for use in
districts throughout the
State. Chevrolet was the low bidder
at $202,685. At the same joint ses
sion of the State Division of Pur
chases and the State School Com
mission, at Raleigh, July 27, orders
were awarded to various bjiilders
for 675 bus bodies, to cost $235,-
685. Thest bodies are to be mount
ed on Chevrolet chassis and on ad
ditional long wtyeelbase chassis, to
be purchased later, mounting 17-
and 19 foot bodies.
The federal government recently
granted North Carolina $182,000
for the purchase of transportation
units for schools, and the State it
self is provdiing $420,000.

LUDENDORFF ABSENT
Berlin. Conspicuously absent
from Tannenburg where the body
of President von Hindenburg was
laid to rest in a national ceremony
was General Eric Ludendorff, who
did not even send a mesasge of
condolence to the stricken family.
During the World War, the two
men were close friends and work
ed together as an outstanding mili
tary team.

The entire state is becoming
■"rural electrification" conscious.

communities are communicating
