PAGE TWO BARKS OF THE BULLDOGS A Paper to Keep the Public Posted on Happenings in Henderson High School. Vol. 5 The Official Organ of H. H. S. James Jenkins Kditor-in-Chlef Nancy Parham Assistant Editor Paulino Jenkins Typist 8. M. Crowder Sponsors Maxine Taylor BY WHICH AUK VOI "PKADKR?” It is as if we we «* suddenly ft ruck In the face licit we gaze at daring shown c. the increasing rate of watal milonioliilc accidents occur ring among boy-; and girls of the “teens". In one month nearly half of the automobile fatalities were per sons under 2t year- - <d age, one fourtti of which wore under la years of age. Is it possililc ttial automobile acci dents, which arc even deadlier than warfare, shall ever predominate among the youth of our state, a state which calls itself civilized? Let us hope rot. But with these bloody figures facing us, it seems that we hre headed in that direction We can not sit hack and do nothing; some thing must he done North Caro lina has jumped to eighth place in automobile fatalities and our own country ranks high. These are not figrure.9 to he proud of, hut demand action. We may blame the traffic ot ficers who do not enforce the laws, we may blame the other driver who is negligent and careless. But are not we to blame ourselves? Is not youth paying a big price for its fun.' If our own hoys and girls would maki it their duty to obey all traffic rules and avoid reckless driving, much would be accomplished. It is becom ing such a grave problem that it will probably be prominently discussed by the General Assembly. If immediate action is not taken youth will suffer the consequences and we will he faced with a new kind of “warfare " much deadlier, much costlier, and much more hor rible than one could ever imagine.

No Accidents of Any Consequence No serious automobile accidents occurred anywhere in this section over the week-end, so far as was learned today. A check with offi cers, including State Highway Pa trolman Bailey, revealed no fatal ities or injuries. There were a few minor collisions, and at least one in which considerable damage was done to a- Ford roadster, hut none of a major character. The record was considered the more remarkable because of the in viting autumn weather outdoors and llie great number of automo biles on the highways, with peo ; pie out riding after being more or less shut in by the heavy rains last week. Moreover, the record was somewhat unusual for this section. NO. 9.

A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer director, and a complete staff of camera, soundmen, electricians, and movie makeup experts compose the person nel of the outfit, but motion pictures will not bes ilmed in this city during its visit.

There has been a feeling that I the figure was a trifle high, and the county board’s action today was by way of seeking a more acceptable price. The -procedure will be for the clerk of the court to name appraisers to inspect the site and place a value on it. The owner of the property lias here, it is said. During the period th e studio is to open for inspection, the general pub lic will be permitted to enter the studio.

The studio is hauled by a giant trackless locomotive equipped with powerful special built Waukesha mo tors, and this tremendous engine is in itself truly an outstanding sight.
