The Courier Ha, Wm. C. Hammer, Publisher and Business Manager. Harrietts Hammer Walker, Editor Wm. C. Hammer Estate, Owner. Thursday, September 28, 1933. Entered as second class mail matter to the postoffice at Asheboro, N. C. THE SCHOOL BUS ROW Davidson county has dared to buck the school bus law enacted by the last “late lamented” legislature. (The Greensboro Record is due credit for that charming term, you may recall) Forsyth county has also caused trouble. It is the two-mile limit for walking that has caused more trouble than anything else re cently. That is bad, and if there are any friends of that particular point of the school law, it must be the legislators who wrote and enact ed the thing. Two miles is a long way for small children to walk and if there is room on the bus, law or no law, the children should ride. Two miles is a long way to ride also—with drunken drivers or with reckless drivers. WThile the subject is up—the question of saber drivers should be inquired into. True, the bootleggers have had a hard time, and if the 18th amendment is re pealed may have harder, but why let them drive our children to school1 Some bootleggers do not drink their own stuff but some do. There are few people who drive on the high ways at all (that have not driven behind school buses loaded with children going much too fast and lar too recKiessiy. Which brings us back to the ques tion otf taking the small schools away from rural communities. Sometimes this is a better plan and often it is not. There is one consolidated school in Randolph county where children are being taken in by bus who must board that bus at 6:30 or 6:40 in the mornings and ride to the school where they must wait until 8:30 for school to open. During this time, the bus makes several other trips. Then the small children who get out of school at 1:00 P. M. must wait for the driver to take the sev eral other bus loads of children to their homes before taking those who live on his home route. Some of these children are first and second grade children—little children who will be powerful sleepy and cold at 6:30 winter mornings when it is dark and freezing cold. This seems to be the best plan that be worked out by this driver, for he hag so many children to transport to the consolidated school. But, since this is the best plan, what of the system? Is this fine looking, brick consolidated school plan a sue cast underneath ? Wouldn’t these child ren, especially the children in the lower grades, be better off in their local communities with trained teachers who could also do other community work? North Carolina has gone far in education in the past ten or twenty years—but have all our forward steps been sound ? Cer itaifliy some consolidated schools are fine and quite necessary, but haven't we over-done the thing a bit and tak en the heart out of the rural com munities by closing the local schools and transporting the children to con solidated schools? jj ANOTHER PROBLEM FOR fjf THE STATE r Interesting news that has bobbed up recently has been the discussion of the state’s institutions. Some peo ple are waking up to the fact that “investigations” sound well but that nothing much has come of them. The Teports are made to “boards”. It is public money that is expended on these institutions and it is nothing but fair and right that the findings should be made public—but they are not. And were the findings made public, the dear pee-pul probably would be told what they should hear and what they would like to hear. On the surface everything looks swell—clean grounds, large herds of cattle grazing on the hillsides and all such—but what does the psy chiatrists connected with our chari table and correctional institutions. Any adult in North Carolina should, and probably does know, that no one but a saint could run such an institution without sadism cropping out at some time or another and we all know how important R is to have a psychiatrist delve into such cases. 11 these folks were normal, they would not be institutions. Because a man or woman is interested in welfare, social service work, or call it-what-yoU'Will does not always mean they are competent. The fact that the buildings and grounds are dean is a fine thing, but how much mere important is it that the minds of these inmates are furnished dean material? What was the Judge thinking of who eat on the case of the fire at flamarcand? What are the board of directions of the Jarlrawt Training School thinking o£ when they do not realize that a piece, of that type can not he aiimi—Hflly wWnagwl without properly directed ? This is no new thing with the writer who made a partial round of the state’s institutions sometime ago. It iwas obvious ait that time that there were no psychiatrists connected with these places for the State’s un fortunates. In the daily papers re cently there have been remarks by several laymen that the NRA would do away with considerable cheap labor at the penitentiary and give the work to business concerns. This has it’s advantages, certainly, but what in the world will these hundreds of men and women who make up the prison population of our state do with their time? The pity of the thing now is they cry “give us something to do.” The solution? Well, there’s an other problem for the state, but for heaven’s sake don’t call the legisla ture back into session to solve it! CLOSED CHURCHES All over the country is a cry that people won’t go to church as they used to go. Many reasons have been given by ministers, laymen and the press. These reasons range from baseball, movies and prohibition to Sunday family reunions. It has not come under this eye however that a church closed all week is not an inviting place on Sunday mornings. There is something about a church closed tight as a drum all week that smacks of the closed "parlor rooms” of a generation ago. Haven't you noticed a similar smell, and haven’t you missed the waxed fram ed piece and figurines on and over the mantle, as you sat on the scrat chy horse-hair sofa? All churches are not that way— fortunately. There is one church in Asheboro—perhaps there are more— where someone is always going in ami out. Neighbors and friends meet on the lawn, sit around on the steps, the women of the church meet, dis pense their charity from the nature, center, children play on the lawn, and often go in the unlocked door, but have never been seen to come out with any church property. Men meet and set out trees and schrubs about the grounds. Women go in often, especially on Saturdays, with dust cloths, baskets of flowers. There are social af fairs held often at this church per- i naps some of them are missionary < meetings—'but the church has a friendly exterior that invites strang ers inside to the equally friendly in- 1 terior. Perhaps some of our church es—especially the weekly locked ones—lack the friendly feeling that invites people. HOW TO BE POPULAR POLITICALLY We read “manners books” and hints on social habits, but an article . hv a rather went copy of The Na tion tells how a whole ticket was defeated In a city election in a western state. One candidate circu lated a petition asking the old coun cil to reduce the power rates. All candidates for the election pledged themselves to support ordinances fix ing lower gas and electric rates. “Naturally,” says The Nation, “heavy utility support was thrown to the old councilmen—Heavy ad vertising was placed by the utility companies in the local papers. The old council wras reelected.” The pe tition was presented to the council by the defeat candidates, according to their pre-election promise, but all that ever came of it was a notice that the petition was “received and filed,” which meant, The Nation ex plained, that it was “completely ignored. Time went on but the people of this town were determined and they circulated a petition with more than 8,600 names thereon petitioning the City Council for a special election to defray the cost of building a muni cipal electric light and power plant. An injunction suit was brought against the City Council to prevent the calling of the election. A hand writing expert was employed for eight months trying to prove that from 300 to 400 voters did not sign the petition with their own hands. If a man signed his initials instead of writing his full name, as it appeared in the permanent registration cards filed in the city clerk’s office, there was a great investigation. The people persisted—finally went to the Supreme Court, tout mean while, their rates were cut, a little at a time, but the rates were cut during the row from 9 cents per killowatt hour for domestic users to 5.5 cents. So, it would seem, if peo ple really want rates reduced and if they are .willing to put up a fight for it, and if they do not want public office, in course of time power rates might be lowered. . Some year or two ago, the people of Asheboro put up a real active fight and howl about high power rates, got nothing for their tremble and have seemed to forget until re cently—the noire has broken out a-fresh. What wfll it mean—lower power rates in Asheboro? Here’r hoping} • \ THE NEVER-ENDING WAR The American public has a wai to fight every year. That war is against the accident menace—in in dustry, the home, on the highways and elsewhere. This is not an empty parallel Automobile accidents alone actually cost more lives than war. They create as much suffering. They are even comparable to war in the eco nomic waste they entail. On a number of fronts this war has been successful. In the indus trial field, tremendous progress in accident prevention has been made. The roster of important industries which operate for months at a stretch without a single mishap of importance, is constantly -growing. The life and health of workers in every producing field has never been better guarded—because management has been tireless in instilling the doc trine of safety-first into its em ployes. That is also true of children of school age. Thousands of young lives have been saved through cours es on caution and accident prevention. The great failure has been in the field of the automobile. Most years have seen decisive advances in the number of deaths and injuries over Legal Notices ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE TO CREDITORS. Having qualified as administra tor on the estate of Hal. M.
