DON'T PLAY ON HIGH
WAY STREETS
North. Carolina apparently is
making littde or no progress in
the matter of educating school
igo children to walk, play, skate,
jfld ride, bicycles safely, judging
inem ft survey just completed by
"?.hei Highway Safety Division.
A study otjjMjilfsti i in fatalities
ca the Stat>3"rrom 1935 through
1>39 shows that the percentage
-of school-age children killed on
the streets and highways showed
ma decline during the flve-year
pen- lad.
The total number of pedes
trians killed from 1936 through
1S39 was 1,780, of which 481, or
J/**,, were under IB years of age.
Of the SSI pedestrian fataliMes tn
North Carolina last year, #3. or
28%, were under IS years of age.
"This clearly points to the need
if?r the teaching of safety In the
-? chools," says Ronald Hocatt.
1 'irector of the Highway Safety
Division. "The schools play a
very large part In the forming of
children*' habits, and the schools
? re the proper place to teach safe
finblts of walking and playing.
And this ? the teaching of safely
fro lbs schools ? ultimately will be
*h? most effective means of re
ducing accidents. Injuries, and
fatalities on a?r streets and high
way*. A few schools In the Bute
are teaching safety, but what Is
nrvded is the Inclusion of safety
-*<liroatton In the curriculum of all
^Kate-supported sihools."
Ninety-nine per cent of the fa- 1
tal accldent.i In North Carolina!
last year occurred on roads in
stood condition. - ,
It la easy to understand why '
?sen Ml. hut difficult to discover J
mhy they succeed. I

Miss LUlle Mae Braxton, Coun
ty Home Demonstration Agent,
has been appointed to serve as
Chairman of the Franklin County
Better Homes Committee. Miss
Braxton's appointment bo this post
was made from the National Of
fices of Better Homes in America
at Purdue University.
Better Homes In Amorica is an
educational movement attempting
to bring to the attention of the
community all that modern meth
ods and Invention can offer home
makers of moderate menus and to
show individuals how they can
accomplish something worthwhile
with the resources at hand. The
emphasis is on the home and the
, improvements which can be made
?t'hat are witliln the reach of fami
i lies with low or modest incomes.
Although the Better Homes
program inevitably stimulates
house building, home improve
ment. the purchase ,of garden
tools, paints, labor-saving devices,
etc., this fact is not tihe reason
for such a campaign. The pur- \
pose of the movement is primarily 1
civic and educational. Wage-earn
ing families are helped to a know
ledge of the least expensive and
most satisfactory and practical
! means of making Improvements in
j their own homes. The result is
the development of pride in home
i and community, of good business
laud of sound constructive citi/.en
! ship.
The Franklin County Commit
tee was organized to bring the
service and program of the na
tional organization into evory
community of the county and to
adapt the program to fit local
needs. Chairmen are serving in
18 communities throughout- the
county.
Effectiveness in the movement
is secured by correlating the ef
i forts of all civic and educational
agencies and specialists, interest
ed in home improvement, in a
comprehensive annual campaign.
The 1940 National Better Homes
Week will be observed from April
2 8 Oh to May 4th. The Franklin
Couuty Committoe Invites the co
operation of all organizations
whose purposes are allied with
the encouragement of home bet
terment, Including gardens, home
building and furnishing, remod
eling, home management, home
recreational activities, as well as
; general community clean-up. _ |
During 1939, a total of 37 bi
cyclists wore killed and 258 were
injured In this state.

is rheumatism.
