M TM rMfOim School’s Out—Watch Out release of several hundred thousand boys and girls upon North Carolina , ets and highways as a result of the [losing of the public schools poses a serious •fety problem for parents and motorists, maid Hocutt,-director of the Highway iafety Division, stated this week. > "A good motto for motorists to adopt at lis season ctf the year is ‘School’s out— atch out.” the safety director said. “And suggestion for parents is this: If you ant your children to play in a safe place, ^ou should provide an attractive place here they can play at home.” Hocutt pointed out that even in ordinary ;imes there are great potentialities for agedy when throngs of carefree, energe- iC and often thoughtless children are re eased from school for the summer vaca- ;ion period, but that these dangers are •eatly increased at a time such as the iresent, when traffic fatalities in this state ire running nearly 50 per cent above last rear and the general tempo of life and traf- ic is greatly stepped up. He suggested that parents can help .vert child traffic fatalities by (1) provid ing attractive places for children to play way from traffic, (2) discouraging chil- _ren from visiting playmates out of their immediate neighborhood unless their par-J mts or some older person can provide them with a ride or walk with them, (3) not lending children away from home on un- ieces.sary errands, and (4) helping chil- ren develop safe habits of walking, play- g, skating and cycling. Motorists can help, he added, by (1) ceeping a sharp eye on children who are walking, running, playing ball, skating or •iding bicycles in or ad.jacent to the street )r roadway, (2) trying to anticipate sud- len movements of children, and (3) being >repared to stop quickly in the event of luch movements. stir up resentment among families of sol diers, or to create fear for the strength of our army, we don’t know, but investigation shows that men in army camps are. in most cases, in much Inore healthful surround ings than they are at home. Whispering campaigns can spread false rumors like wild-fire. And there is little doubt that a Ibt of these army camp storier are planned and paid for by enemies with in our gates. y Recent investigation in one camp, where it was reported that the army hospital was overflowing with pneumonia cases and that there had been a large number of pneu monia deaths and that conditions were de plorable, showed these facts: out of several thousand soldiers^, two were in the hospital with pneumonia and were well on the way to recovery; there had been no pneumonia deaths; out of normal expectation, based on civilian averages, of five per cent on the sick list, less than two per cent were sick; most of the soldiers in camp stated that they were healthier than before they came to camp. Another inte'resting finding was that a large portion of the soldiers who were in the hospital just had simple colds or other slight ailments, which, in civilian life, wouldn’t have kept them from going to work. Bat the army doesn’t take chance.*^. Any sign of sickness means a visit to the doctor, and when he recommends a day oi rest it means a day in the hospital. So a large proportion of hospitalized soldier; are the ones who, in business life, would be going to work with the “sniffles.” Befvre eolng further let u* re count an instance In the recent alien regstratlon.

Due to the flood of last August, many farms in the community were so bady torn up and left covered with debiis .tnd landslides that it has taken a lot of labor to get them in shape Time For The Bill Collector “Give us $20,000,000,000 worth of anks, guns, planes and munitions—and harge it!” 'That, in effect, is what the American leople have said and now we are beginn- ng to hear about collecting payments. It’s easy to buy things on a charge ac- :ount. At lot of people find Ls so easy that hey finally call off their charge accounts it local stores in order to stop running up )ills which are out of line with what they :an pay. They realize that if they pay cash ;hey will spend only what they can afford. The American people can afford to pay i huge amount for the defense of t! ;ountry. Most of them would do a lot of paying right now before considering call ing off any part of our defense program. But So far no bill collection has come iround. Most of us aren’t going to go to con gress and say, “Please tax me.” But at the same time, if we’re going to have to start paying soon, we’d like to know what the installments are going to arnount to so we :an start laying a little money aside tc Meet them. Furthermore, in order that the free spending we are willing to sanction for de fense isn’t carried into less necessary fields, we ought to be told just what the present program is going to cost each orf js in dollars and cents. There are plenty jf people who think that if we can spend ^20,000,000,000 without it seeming to ef fect vS, we might as well add a few billions nore for a lot of luxuries which it would )e nice to have provided out of. the gov- »«Timent’8 secret funds.

That statement is entitled to the ap plause of Tar Heels both within and with out the school system. As the Governor suggested, politics has its place in the life of community, commonwealth and nation. But that place is not within in-stitutions de dicated to the educational training and d velopment of the state’s boys and girls Whenever it comes in, usually the children suffer in one way or another. They must suffer through the .selection of teachers on a political basis rather than that of merit. They may suffer through the location of schools, through the adop tion of policies which are more closely re lated to political expediencies than to edu cational needs, and so forth. There are many ways in which active political influ ences can do grave injury to the schools if allrv/ed to prevail. Governor Broughton’s assurance in this respect takes on also the nature of a warn ing to those who would attempt to use the heard in BERLIN Two Industrial workmen con versing on the streets in Berlin brought up the subject of wages. Sometime one of them had heard of the “doller-a-year" men era,- ployed by the United States gov ernment in the defense program. One of them said: “We had heard that workmen in the Unit ed States were highly paid but I heard the other day that some of the leaders over there v/ere paid only a dollar a year. Why, we make more tnan ihat.” Incidentally. President Roose- belt disclosed a few days ago that all the men working for a dol lar per year ei'ch were Republi can.?. Mainly, they are industrial leaders who volunteered their services to the country in the in terest of national defense and include those who are financially able to secrillce their time with out salary. 45,000 Escape Trap In Greece London.—Great Britain wa.s estimated reliably today to hav^ FOLLOWED INSTRlJ^ION.S “Now look here, I fired three girls for revising my letters, see?” said the Boa? to his new Steno.

I’d like to rescued at least 45,000 of 60,000 men in the British Expeditionary Force sent to Greece after suf fering a loss of approximately 3,- 000 killed and wounded in the battle against Adolf Hitler’s blitzkrieg army in the Balk?ns. The figures indicated that a- bout 15,000 men or 25 par cent of the expeditionary force had failed to get away as a result of the valiant “suicide” action fought by the British rear guard, made up largely of Australian and New Zealand troops. Most of the loss in casualties and prisoners presumably was a- mong the heroic rear guard which, day after day, held ., back the Nazi mechanized units in the mountains and passes of Greece, and then fought rapid columns and parachutists across the Pele- ponnesus. If the 3,000 casualties proved' to he in addition to the 15,000 who failed to get away, the Brit ish losses would be almost one- third of the total men employed in the Balkan campaign.

The .t ... .. schools on the whole have been reasonably feed it to ’em with a spoon an free from politics heretofore, but in somei““’^® localities, teachers, according to reports, have not always found themselves com- nletely free of political influence and in terference, and petty politicians have in ocher ways endeavored to project them selves into school affairs. The best inter ests of democracy in the state demands that such influence and interference be eli minated from educational circles.
