things-— current social problems,
manners,'vocations, safety _ and
modeling airplanes.
The Social Problems club,
along witih the other school clubs
meets on Tuesday of each week
'from' 8:39-*;80 a. m. At these
meetings well planned programs
are given, featuring a different
activity each time. For example,
Tuesday, Nov. ll, the theme was
“Safety”. With the president,
Arnold Hurley, presiding, the
program was as follows:
Farm accidents and how to
prevent them, by Larnie Bullls.
How pedestrians can help, bV
Ray Whittington.
Safety with buses, by Roy
Whittington.
Bicycle safety rules, by Ed
ward Rash.
Rules for bicycle riders and
pedestrians as used for basis In
part of program may be found
elsewhere in this paper. The club
is indebted to Mr. Ronald Hocutt
of the State Highway Safety Di-
vision, for these.
"Very important data were gi'v
en by members taking part. The
causes for faUlities and other in
juries were brought out. At the
present rale over 100.000 people
will be killed in the D. S. this
year and over $5,000,000,000
lost. The main thing being done
is to try to set up standards by
each member of the club so as
to overcome these tragedies in
loss of life and property.
The officials have a committee
now working on all cases of fa-
talitv for last three years. This
committee is getting a record of
each case as furnished by Ser
geant Carlyle Ingle, of the State
Patrol. After the causes of these
fatal accidents are determined
they plan to make a spot map of
W'ilkes county showing where
and why each occurred. When
this map is finished the club
hopes to have parents and some
friends interested in safety with
them at the night meeting.
At the meeting on Nov. 11.
the president. Mr. Arnold Hur
ley, gave some objectives for the
Good Manners activity, which is
to be featured soon in a series
of programs. Some of these were
Behavior at home, dining table,
school, church, theatre, and
street.
Each member has selected a
vocational activity for the year.
When a particular vocation has
been selected by the individual,
not only will the vocation be
studied but the individual will
study himself. Questions like
these will be kept in mind: ^
1.' What is the work liK$2
After 12 months 6t total .ser
vice, a seaman in the U. S. Navy
is eligible for promotion to the
rank of third-class petty officer.
Each fleet in the U. S. Navy has
a regular supplementary fleet
known as the base fleet consisting
of naval auxiliaries such as re
pair ships, hospital ships, supply
sliipe, oilers and tugs.

A DECALOGUE OF SAFETY
FOR PEDESTRIANS
Cross only at crosswalks. The
records in cities show that it is
five times more dangerous to
cross in the middle of the block
than at the corner.
2. Wait On the sidewalk. Im
peding the visibility and progress
of motor vehicles and risking in
jury to yourself by standing in
the street while awaiting an op
portunity to cross is foolhardy.
3. C^oss on the proper signal.
Traffic lights are for both mo
torists and pedestrians. Don’t
expect motorists to obey them if
you aren’t willing to do so too.
4. Be sure the way is clear.
Look both ways and never step
between two cars in close-parked
traffic
5. Be doubly alert during the
first few steps. Seventy-five per
cent of pedestrians in accidents
are hit before they reach the
middle of the roadway, with ab
sent-mindedness the greatest
single cause.
6. Cross within the crosswalk.
Seconds and steps saved by
crossing diagonally are not worth
the chances you take with your
life.
7. Walk to the right in cross
walks. Traffic rules are the re
sult oH" study
Based on conrtosy, i
life and property, and
confusion and delay. ' , : ,
8. Walk, don’t run. Needless
hurry afoot is as dangerous’as
needless speed in a car. Do not
start across unless you are sure
you can walk It safely.
9. On rural roads, walk on the
left, facing traffic. This enables
you to watch oncoming traffic
and step off the pavement as a
car approaches.
10. After dark, wear something
white, or carry a light. You pro
tect yourself by making certain
you are seen.
