A NARROW ESCAPE. A miraculous escape from death was the experience of three people Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock on the highway eight miles east of Siler City at the curve in the road at J. M. Har ris’ house when a big touring car driven by a man named Dodson from Durham, ran into a buggy complete ly wrecking it and badly injuring an aged colored man named Neil Bailey, who lived in that vicinity and upset ting the driver of the car and his lady companion. Witnesses of the accident who were standing near the highway said they saw the big car coming and called to , the negro to pull to one side Amt as I there was a car standing to the right : or him he hesitated and then turned slightly to the left, thus placing him : self directly in front of the approach ; ing car. From the evidence of wit ' nesses the driver did everything i possible to avoid hitting the buggy ev i en taking the chance of wrecking his j car and seriously injuring himself and ! companion. The car turned complete- I ly over twice leaving the driver and lady in the ditch almost without a scratch and righted itself landing across the highway, one front wheel being demolishd, the top crushed and other damages sustained. The Seasons Must Change, j We have before us a copy Turner’s i almanac for the year 1895, and under j the heading “Farm Notes” for April j we find the following: “Corn should be cultivated once a ■ week until too high for it.” In the good year 1923 there is no corn planted much less being up high enough to be plowed. SILER CITY SCHOOL NEWS. The seventh school month closed Friday, .April 13th, with an average attendance of 239.5. The average in : the high school was about 87. Ow ; ing to the severe epidemic of meas : Las, largely, the attendance for the J month was about 100 below what it i Vos - a c t month. Such a break has ! made very serious interruption in the | work of the school, especially in the! ; lower grades. However, the atterd , aoce is increasing rapidly now. Pro | spects are good for the last month’s j • work. It is very important that all | children return to school as soon as ! they are physically able. In another | month the school can do much toward ; knitting together the broken threads j of school work, and rounding out the ! work of the school year. Unless pu j pils return and complete the last 1 month’s work am! take f be final ex aminations it will be well-nigh im r»o<**’ble for them to pass to the next higher grade. The annual recital of the music de partment will be given this year be fore the regular commencement. This recital will probably be the 27th of April. On the night of May 11th the Wavne P. Sewell Company, of At lanta, Ga., will present, under the auspices of the school, the play “Mr. and Mrs. Polly Tick.” The commence ment program will he given May 13, 14 and 15, concerning which definite announcement will be made a little later. The honor roll for the seventh month is as follows: First grade—Frances Elkins. Second grade—Janette Fox. Third grade—Evans Stone, Leon White. Fourth grade Elizabeth Clark, Bernice Hilliard, Juanita Johnson, Margaret Thomas. Fifth grade Catherine Crotts, Ruth Marley, R. G. Edwards, Herbert McDaniel. Sixth grade Geraldine Walker, Marian Cooper, Mary Marlowe. Geor gia Petty, Martha Lane, Ivey Marley, Cecil Bean. Seventh grade—Lebus Stone. Keif fer Ivey, Ernestine Phillips, Gerald Walker, Mozelle Elkins. Opportunity for Children. By reading this paper carefully you will find in another column an article relating to the adenoid and tonsil clin ic. We hope that every parent who has the least idea that their child is affected will have them examined and treated. The State of North Carolina has sent to Chatham County one of our own worthy young girls, Miss Ma mie Williams, who will have charge of the preliminary work, and an ex amination wiss cost nohting. It is your duty as parents to protect the child and give it an opportunity to develop physically and mentally, and a diseased throat or nose will certain ly retard them in both growth and de velopment mentally. Bonded for Appearance. Last week we made mention of Horace Dowd, of Cumnock, having been charged in Raleigh with the theft of an automobile. He has been placed under S3OO bond for his ap pearance. i I Graduation Gifts. I Never before have we been better supplied with gifts for I I the graduates, or for any occasion.

Through the bureau of medical in spection of schools, it has been ar ranged to have another tonsil and ade noid clinic for Chatham county. A temporary hospital will be set up at the county home, a corps of 8 trained nurses will be sent to care for the children. Dr. J. B. Wright, of Raleigh, one of the State’s best throat specialists, will be in charge of the clinic. The State board of health has a complete emergency hospital equip ment which consists of 25 beds, lin en, blankets and full operating room outfit. The nominal fee of $12.50 will be charged those able to pay and totally free in needy cases. This operation and nursing care would, in private practice, cost SSO. The children in Chatham county were examined by | the State board of health school nurse, Miss Williams, two years ago, and quite a large number were found to be suffering from diseased tonsils and adenoids. During the clinic at Siler | City which was held two years ago, 110 children were successfully operat ed on. The same specialist who was at Siler City will be at Pittsboro. The children who come to the clinic are first examined by the specialist to see I if they need it, and only those found j badly needing it will be operated on. The children are then given a thor ough examination to see if they are in condition to be operated on. The children have to remain one night in the hospital being allowed to return to their homes the following day. The parents will be allowed to spend the night in the hospital with their child ren. Children suffering from bad ton sils and adenoids will have ear ache, weak eyes, frequently sore throat, be come stupid, and will be dull in school, of weight, become nervous and ' after a time snore at night. To allow these conditions to remain untreated will frequently cause trouble later in life, heart trouble, rheumatism and predisposed to tuberculosis. Now, parents, will you neglect tbe health of your children when this clin ic is put in geographic! and finan cial reach of every citizen in Chat ham countv? The children who come to the clinic for examination and treatment if nec essary are not to have breakfast the morning thev come. It. might be of interest to the little folks that thev will he given ice eream at the hospital after their tonsils have been remov ed. Tt Is to see the nurse and have yon - ** children evamined and to havA a definite date to come to the nliyuV. She will he in P‘ + tshovo at B?nr>t Thompson’s office Ap f-il . fr> ovqtvii’ip and as sign them dates for the clinic. Girl Wins Honors.
