No Decline In Number Cf School

Five Year Survey of Acci

Decline, Says Hocutt.
Raleigh, Mar. 21—North Caro
lina apparently is making little
or no progress in the matter of
educating slqhoal-age children to
walk, play, skate, and ride, bicy
cles safely, judging from a sur
vey just completed by the High
way Safety Division,
A study of pedestrian fatalities
in the State frlcim 1935 through
1939 shows that the percentage
of school-age children killed on.
the streets and highways showed
no decline during the five-year
period.
The total number of pedestri
ans killed from 1935 through 1939
was 1,780, of which 481, or 27 per
cent, were under 15 years iof age.
Os the 331 pedestrian fatalities
in North Carolina last year, 93,
or 28 per cent, were under 15
years of age.
“This clearly points to the
need for the teaching of safety
in the schools,” says Ronald Ho
cutt, Director of the Highway
Safety Division “The schools
play a very large part in the
forming of childrens’ habits, and
the schools are the proper place
to teach safe habits of walking
and playing. And this—the
teaching of safety in the schools
—ultimately will be the most ef
fective means of reducing acci
dents, injuries, and fatalities on
our streets and highways. A few
schools in the State are teaching
safety, but what is needed in the
inclusion of safety education in
the curriculum of all State-sup
ported schools.”

In Memoriam
WILLIAM THOMAS WILBORN
On February 29, 1940 our be
loved brother, William Thomas
Wilbom, more familiarly known
to all of us as Uncle Tom, left
us to be with Him, whom he
knew and loved.
The final rites were conduct

derburke, assisted by Rev. W. T.
Creath, on Thursday afternoon
at two o’clock from Bethel Bap
tist church, with interment fol
lowing in the 'church cemetery.
The large concourse of friends
who attended and the numerous
and beautiful flbral offerings be
spoke the high esteem in which
the deceased was held.
Uncle Tom came to know,
Christ in the new birth manyj
years ago, and became through'
years of Christian experience onej
of the most God like souls known |
to his wide acquaintance. The.
very essence of Christian culture
and character, he drew his church
and community heavenward andj
succeeded in reproducing the,
same qualities in a large farmily;
of Children, who are filling their
places n the church and commu

cf the saving power of Christ andj
the sanctifying power of the
Holy Spirit.
All those by his bedside during
his last illness could see that he j
felt the presence 'cf those he could i

to bear his soul away—He would
so often speak of going to his
heavenly home where he could
see father, mother, Sen, also his'
former pastor and many others.
He so often spoke of having no'
real earthly home but he had a!
mansion up younder.
And most of all he said he re
joiced to see Jesus. His church
and religion was always the
theme nearest his heart and he'
was never too busy to discuss it
in his daily walks of life.
This whole community, in

such a faithful laborer in God’s

EGGS NOW CHEAP
AND NUTRITIOUS
FARM FOOD ITEMS
Prices Are Lower, Which
Means Eggs Should Be More
Often Used At Home.
Raletigh, March 21—-Next to
milk, eggs are the most perfect
single feed “Eat eggs for health
e.lways, and eat eggs for an eco
nomical dish at this season of the
year,” advises Miss Sallie Brooks,
assistant Extension nutritionist
cf N. C. State College.
The home economist endorsed
the “Springtime Egig Festival”
which is being conducted this
week by producers and consum
ers, with the support of thous.
aids of merchants, including the
Southeastern Chain Store council.
Another period of the Festival
will be the week cf April 11-13.
Miss Brooks pointed out that
more than half of the total egg
crop of the year is produced in
March, April, May and June.
“When production is at the peak,
prices quite naturally are. at their
lowest, so that the family can
now revel in eggs—have them in
some form at every meal,” she
said.
Citing the nutritive value of
eggs for persons of all ages. Miss
Brooks said: “Os all the natural
foods, eggs are the best source
of vitamin D, with the exception
of fish oils. For this reason, child
ren who are given eggs from in
fancy are better fortified against
rickets than those who do ntot
have them
“Eggs also provide vitamins A,
B and G, and they are an excel
lent source of iron, and a fairly
good source of calcium and phos
phorous. The protein and fat in
eggs are easily assimilated by the
(body.”
As a suggestion on egg cook
ery, the nutritionist pointed out
that high temperatures make the'
white cf the egg tough. When the
egg is boiled, the part where the
white and yolk come together
often develoys a dark green col
or. This may -be decreased, if not.
eliminated, by ccbking the egg as
short a time as possible, and by
cocking at once under water.
