at noon. The two performances
under the Dig Top wero scheduled
to hogin at 2 o'clock In the after

tho first circus of the season, and
probably the only one. and thore
was every indication that the
younger generation In Kllzaboth
City would turn out in full force
for it. along with many hundreds
from outside sections.
There nro hundreds of grown
ups. too. who would never think of
missing a circus. It revives treas
urd memories of boyhood days,
and still brings to them something
or the old thrill.
Various sensational rumors had
I preceded the Walter I?. Main

' were mainly to tho effect that, ror
one reason or unother. tho circus
wouldn't come. Tho arrival of
the clrcua train this morning
knocked most of them Into a
cocked hat. and elation replaced
fast gathering gloom in the heart
and mind of many a small hoy.
Ily noon, thousands of expectant
i?nes, young and old. lined the
downtown streets in anticipation
of the big parado preceding tho
show. The parade, however, was
delayed, due to the lateness of the
< ircus' arrival here, and It was
well past 1 o'clock when II passed
through the downtown streets In
a colorful procession, heralded by
blaring brass bands.

With 2 2 new members reported j

Dintrlet Manager D. L. Sykes.
Jr.. and C. T. Matthews, director ]
of accident prevention, appointed j
accident prevention committee*
Friday.
Many Kllzaheth City motoriste-!
have been members of the clljU^-3
since Its Inception three years ago,
and theae member? are proving of
much aid in securing new mem
ber*, according to Mr. Sykea.
Carolina Motor Club was organ
ized September 22, 1922, and the
membership has doubled each
year. The tola! now stands Just |
above 9,000, 700 of wbom are I
leading business men In the State.
It Is a non-profit organization,
devoting Its resourcea to the ser
vice of North Carolina motorists. '
and when additional revenue ao- |
crues, additional departments are
added to broaden the scope of tho J
club's service. This year several
new departments havo been added j
and others strengthened, Including 1
legal, accident prevention, publio 1
relations and touring and Informa
tion.
C. T. Matthews, director of the
accident prevention department Qf I
the club, carried a message of ao* J
cident prevention to the graded H
school Friday morning.
Mr. Matthews pointed out some
of the more dangerous practices of
school children, and slated that 111 I
1924 traffic accidents claimed a |
toll In child life of more than 10.* |
000 between the hrcs of six and j
14 in the United States. He cau- j
tloned the children against some |
of the causes or this appalltBg
toll of human life.
The speaker declared that j
"hitching on" automobiles,
children who are on skates, skoot
ers, coasters, bicycles and Ihe like,
causes a largo per cent of the In- j
Juries and deaths. He also called
attention to the necessity of walk- 1
ing on the left side of streets I
where no sidewalks arc provided,
and on the rural highways. In i
doing this the traffic is facing the j
pedestrian, and he may better pro
tect himself from accident.
"Cross at crossings and not In j
the middle of the block; walk !
across the street alertly but do not j
run; never play in the street or j
pull raincoat or umbrella over
your face while walking In" the I
street/' he advised?
Mr. Matthews stated education
of pedestrians would go far to
wards solving complex traffic |
problems In our cities. . , * /g
