EAGLE ATTACKS GIRL It's some story that comes from the Jarrett community, about forty miles north of Austin, Texas, where "an eagle of enormous size" fastened its claws in the body of a 13-year-old Negro girl and attempted to carry her from the cotton field where she was working. Her screams "brought a rescuer, who beat off the bird with a pair of cotton scales. The big bird fought until a gun reached the scene and it was killed. The girl, says a report was badly injured by the eagle, that had a wing spread of nearly seven feet. Parctically every reader is familiar with the legend that big eagles have flown away with little boy3 and girls The tendency is to doubt the occur ence and the same applies to the Texas story, but it has been printed in reputable newspapers and we pre sume it is the truth. WHO DRIVES THE SCHOOL BUS? Nearly every year the people of this country read the harrowing de tails of the death of school children, killed, when a railroad engine smash es into a school bus. The latest recorded tragedy occur ed in Mason City, Iowa, when a streamlined train, not "going to very fast," hit a bus in the middle, kill ing nine persons instantly and ser iously injuring others. The drivers of school vehicles, as a general rule, are careful. It seems certain, however, that sometimes some of them take fearful chances and inevitably, tragedy results. The safety of pupils, who ride in a school bus, is in the keeping of the driver of the vehicle. Their lives can be safe only so long as the driver re fuses to "take any chances." School authorities in this country, upon reading of such terrible fatalit ies, should make it their business to check-up on the driving habits of all drivers entrusted with pupils. High way patrolmen and other officers should make it their concern to know that the driver of any school bus is a safe driver. The major responsi bility, however, rests upon school authorities who hire drivers; they should meet that responsibility and, if necessary, get other drivers. WATCH OUT, "LITTLE FELLOWS" Experts who hafve watched the gyrations of the stock market re cently report that the "little fellow" has not been swept away by fluctu ating prices but that, on the other hand, he remains a net buyer. Our own advice to "little fellows" is to get out of the stock market and stay out While the newly pro mulgated relations have done much to protect investors, but there is room for considerable improvement before the "little fellow's money will be safe in Wall Street operations. If any reader of the Enterprise has some money to invest the chanc es are that opportunities exist locally where he can keep his eye on what happens to the investment. If one must go into the stock market, do so only to invest .funds that you wish to permanently allocate for that pur pose. Buy stocks to hold, for their dividend possibilities and not because of any hunch that the market might have another surge upward. Truth of the matter, the market will probably surge upward but that does not mean that the little fellows' who play the big man's game will ' get oat with heavy gains. It usually happens that the "lit !e fellow" stays {her Jjjg armistice day?? lest wb^pcir The approach Of Armistice T>ay' naturally causes our thought to turn backward nineteen years to the mem orable announcement that the World War had come to an end. It should make us reflect upon the mad course of the world since i>iat happy day. The "war to end war" was undoubtedly a failure no far as accomplishing the great idea qres concerned but' this does not mean, necessarily, that it was en tirely in vain. Today we see a world getting into shape again for another conflict. And there is no mistake about the intent of several nations although there is some doubt about the time. Already the tide in this country is running against our entanglement and the argument used is the experience that we have had with the diplomats since the great war came to an end. Whether the. United States could have been a potent factor for peace in this country had joined the lea gue of Nations and that agency had functioned as it was intended re mains a matter of angry dispute. Certain it is however, that our course since the World War, has not been successful in preventing the world from approaching the brink of an other titantic struggle. Whether it will be the means of enabling us to avoid conflict remains to be seen but there is great doubt if this will be the case. Anyway, tl ere is again upon us the opportunity to pay reverent tri bute to the brave souls who gave up their lives for this nation in battle. They deserve the reverent gratitude of a free people and their memory should be enshrined in the hearts of those familiar with the great sacri fice they made. So far as they were concerned, they died in behalf of a noble ideal, enunciated by a great American, and their heroism is not to be slighted because the dream of peace has not yet arrived. So, The Enterprise salutes the memory of the departed soldiers, sailors, marines and nurses. Without in any degree glorifying warfare, we glory in their greatness. To them duty made the greatest of demands, that they lay down their lives for their country and their response was 'a new era in American patriotism. ! Let us always remember them. Let us do a little more than re member them?the dead heroes. And, those they left behind . . . their loved ones who miss the contribution that their exictence might have made to comfort. Let not the nation, or the surviving veterans in their zealous advocacy of pensions and payments to the living, overlook the stranded loved ones who seem not to be orga nized to secure for themselves the bounty that they sometimes require and undoubtedly deserve. THE SPANISH OUTBREAK The Spanish revolution is about to approach its climax, with General Franco leading his full forces in a determined offensive from the neigh borhood of Zaragoza towards Cata lonia, hoping to cut this portion of Spain from Madrid and the south. News from Berlin and Rome in dicates that Germany and Italy in-1 tend to stand by the revolutionary leader, who has recently been con gratulated by Mussolini for his great triumph in the northwest. Italy now admits that 40,000 Italian soldiers fight with Franco and other observ ers believe that this an understate ment. From Paris comes the opinion that the war in Spain has not yet been won by either side. French experts say that Franco has about 375,000 men under his command and that the Government's army is around 450, 000. Foreign volunteers in the re volutionary army are estimated at from 60,000 to 80,000 and those in the Republican forces at 15,000. While the French^ are in sympathy with the Government the fig ures are apparently indicative of the ratio of outside help to the two sid es. . Meanwhile the nations continue in parleys about the withdrawal of all volunteers but the opinion is general that the war will be settled before anything effective is accomplished.
