I. Hewes, Jr., Regional Farm Security Admin istrator, said today. Migrants are pouring into Cali fornia at a rate equal to the human flood of 1937. Some 40,000 people migrator! into the State last month, seeking manual labor. But most of them congregated in the cities to work in factories, shipyards and other defense industries. Meanwhile, farmers all the way from Okanog?ui in northern Wash ington to Los Angeles in southern California have been reporting they couldn't get enough help to harvest crops. "But," Mi. Hewes says, "while de fense is having an unsetting effect on agricultural labor, any concep tion that defense work has ended the migrant problem is contrary to the truth." Figures from the California border influx show a steady rise in recent months. More people of that type are crossing the border than at any time. C. H.

It was good to have known Miss Fannie, as she was fav orably known to so many, and to realize that this little community is a better place in which to live be cause she happened to pass this way. Funeral services will be conduct ed tomorrow afternoon at 6 o'clock in the church which she loved and where she humbly worshipped for so many years. Rev. James H.

Accident records show that 25 bi nders met with death on the streets and highways of this State from January through July of this year, an 80 per cent increase over the 14 cyclists killed the first seven months of 1940 and a 25 per cent in crease over the total of 20 cyclists killed all last year. A majority pf the riders killed were boys, and most of them were killed because of violations of the rules of safe rid ing. Warning that bicycles are classed as vehicles under the State law, and that cyclists must obey the same gen eral traffic regulations that apply to motor vehicles, Ronald Hocutt, di rector of the Highway Safety Divi sion, listed the following 12 rules for bicycling with complete safety: 1. Refrain from "clever" or "stunt" riding. 2 Dismount and walk across dan gerous intersections. 3 Keep to the right and close to the edge of the roadway. 4 Learners should ride in a park or other safe place. 5 Ride without wobbling: avoid sharp turns. 6 Say "No" to anyone desiring to ride as a passenger. 7 Never hitch onto a moving ve hicle. 8 At night, carry a light in front and either a light or reflector in the rear. 8. Stop for all stop signs. 10 If parcels are carried, strap them to the frame or place in a bas ket carrier 11 Avoid crowded streets and heavily traveled highways. 12 Keep yourself and your bike in jgood condition. "II bicycle riders will obey these | simple rules this business of one bi cycle fatality.-..e.V?ry" week will be | stopped in North Carolina," Hocutt said. 'M ' . , If * ?
