will acquire the “Satety” habit
and really value their own lite
and the lives of others. Let eve
ryone co-operate this “Safety
Week” and make every one of
the fifty-two weeks of the com
ing year safe for everyone.
The police deipartment of this
city has heartily endorsed the
Legion Safety program In a let
ter from Chief Walker to Com-
« ander Frank E. Johnson, which
ja:
I consider it a privilege and
duty to endorse the Safety Cam
paign and think it is a very
worthy program. I think it will
mean much to the people of
Wilkes County and North Wil-
kesboro. And I want to pledge the
full cooperation of the Police De
partment of the Town of North
Wilkesboro and we will bo glad
to cooperate with you in carrying
out any of your proposed plans.’’
The industrial heads have also
added their endorsement, know
ing the full value of Safety Pro
grams in their plants. A letter
from P. W. Eshelman, President
of the Wilkes Hosiery Mills
states:
“As head of the Wilkes Hos
iery Mills Company, I am pleased
to endorse the safety campaign
sponsored by the American Le
gion in this vicinity. As support
to my approval of this campaign
I believe a brief description of
what the Wilkes Hosiery Mill is
doing in respect to safety will be
more convincing than anything
else I might say. In our mill—
“We maintain a completely
equipped first aid room. Three
thoroughly trained first aid nurs
es are in constant attendance to
give first aid at any hour of the
night.

When people pay their dollar
each to the Red Cross during the
annual roll call beginning No
vember 11 they are aiding needy
people at home as well as helping
to build up a national fund for
use in time of disaster.
The most recent example of
local help by the Red Cross was
only a few weeks ago when sev
eral families along the Yadkin
were forced out of their homes
by flood waters.
The Wilkes chapter of the Red
Cross helped to rehabilitate these
families and helped them to re
place provisions and furnishings
destroyed.

A railway crossing elimination
project has been proposed here
for what highway engineers have
described as one of the most haz
ardous crossings in the eighth
highway division.
Engineers have made plans for
a crossing elimination project
where federal highway 421 and
state highways 16 and 18 cross
the Southern Railway tracks at
the southern entrance to North
Wilkesboro.
Engineers roughly eetlmate the
cost at between 650,000 and
675,000.
W. S. Winslow, hydrographic
engineer of the state highway
and public works commission was
here Friday and attended a call
meeting of the board of city com
missioners to give information
concerning the city’s part In the
proposal.
He said that the project could
be undertaken with funds sup
plied by the federal government
for the specific purpose of rilml-
nating hazardous crossings and
that the city’s obligation would
be to secure the right of way.
Mr. Winslow was presented to
the city fathers by J. Gordon
Hackett, of this city, highway
commissioner for the eighth dl-
•vislon.
The engineer said that when
the Yadkin bridge was build a-
bout five years ago that the
crossing over the railroad was in
cluded In the plana but suffleiaK ■
funds were not then available
and the bridge fill was extended
to a point in the old road Just
below the railroad crossing.
If the project now under ad
visement is constructed it would
extend from the Intersection of
B and Tenth Streets to a point on
the bridge fill about 200 feet
from the north end of the bridge.
The city board asked that the
engineers send plans for the pro
ject showing w.hat right of way
would be necessary.
It is understood that the bridge
over the railroad would also span
A street, which would be lower
ed at the Intersection of Tenth
and A streets in order to pro
vide sufficient clearance.
