her shoulder. 'At this
point, said Arrington,
two other girls pulled
Ms. Allen and Arrington
apart. '
Ms. Men said that
she pushed him and that
he then got off the table,
pulled her off by her coat,
and began beating her
about the body. She con
tinued by saying that
she was thrown to the
floor and then beaten
some more by Arring
ton until two girls
pulled him off of her. '
There was no testimony
by doctors or by witnesses
to the incident. But the
judge, a decendant of a
prorninant Durham
family, said that inasmuch
as Miss Allen says she
pushed up, and you said
that she slapped you, I
don't see that much dif
ference in the testimony,''.
Judge LaBarre than entered
a "prayer for judgement
continued for two years on
the provision that you pay
the cost of court and you
not assault the prosecuting
witness any more.'' 1
While the woman was
not suspended for the
incident, Arrington
has been suspended for
the rest of the year, by
School Coordinator L.W.'
Woodward. This was later
reduced to ten days after
Arlington's brother talked
to Woodward. '
Woodward refused com
ment as to why the
period of suspension
was so long, why the
young lady was not also
suspended, or his criterion
for suspension. Woodward
continued by saying that
he cared not to repeat
what the witnesses had
reported to him "because
it was hearsay informa
tion'' and "that because it
was given him" by stu
dents, it could be right
or could not be right. "
Durham High School
Principal, Earl Hedrick (who
is Woodward's immediate
superior) said he was not
aware of the incident but
that he would get in
touch with Woodward and
return the call. When he
was called nearly 48 hours
later, his secretary said
he was in a meeting in
Raleigh and that he had not
had an opportunity to talk
with Woodward. "Neither
could be reached for
further comment. '

BICYCLE SAFETY
Bicycle ridingis an en
joyable sport for young
people. Yet it can be
quite a dangerous one when
traveling in traffic. Call For
Action ,would like to
help young people to
become more aware of safe
driving habits.
According to the UJS.
Consumer Product Safety
Commission, the follow
ing rules should be observ
ed in order to use a bicycle
safely.
.1. Drive near the curb in
the same direction as the
traffic. Always drive in a
single file.
2. Look for safe, less
travelled routes. Do not
try to compete with high
speed on highways and
heavily travelled roads or
streets. Heavy traffic is
dangerous for bicycle riders.
3. Bikes provide run,
but safe riding must be
taken seriously. Stunting or
clowning on bicycles can
cause serious injuries for the
riders.
4. Know the surface
condition of the road that
will be travelled on, and
notice the traffic all around,
when riding.
Sewer: grates, potholes,
rocks and other poor
surface conditions can
cause the most skillful
drivers to be thrown from
their bicycles. Always
drive ; slow, enough to
avoid unexpected obstacles,
such as car doors suddenly
opening, cars backing out
of driveways or parking lots,
or children unexpectedly
TunnJnAih front of the
Sicvcle. . .
S. Riding in wet weather
can often prove hazardous.
Vjsibilityjs a problem for
both cars and bicycles. Wet
tires tend to skid, and
wet handbrakes may not op-
1
erate properly. Going
through deep puddles at
high speed can cause the
driver to lose control of the
bike. Avoid wet conditions
if at all possible.
6. Keep bike tires
in top condition.
Tires should be properly .
inflated as recommend
ed by the manufacturer in
order to assure safe riding
conditions. Over-inflated
tires do not grip the
road or street when the
brakes are applied. Tires
that have worn tread should
be replaced.
7. Keep all parts
properly adjusted and in
good condition. Align
"wobbly" wheels, or adjust
or replace the spokes of the
wheels, when they become
"wobbly." Replace all
missing, damaged, or or
worn parts such as chain
links, screws and bolts,
handlebar grips, seats, brake
pads, and cables on hand
brakes. If the driver is not -familiar
with proper bike
maintenance, he should
have these adjustments done
by someone who has the
right tools and knowhow.
8. Know traffic laws and
signals. Most laws and'
regulations that govern
automobile traffic also
apply to bicyclists. Be sure
to show the same courtesy
to other drivers as you
want shown to you. :
