I t, 4 J it b, m- as & By School Sup't Raleigh, Dec. 10. "The safety of our school children should be con stantly looked after," State Superin tendent A. T. Allen points out in a statement given out today, "North Carolina," he ,says, "is now transport ing nearly 150,000 pupils to school. The lives of these children as well as those who walk must be protected at all times. It is a sad thing to hear e( an accident happening to one of tiese little ones." 1 Superintendent Allen believes that it care and diligence is observed on the part of the motoring public that sach occurrences may be kept at a minimum. In order to acquaint, the Ifflllic with the traffic laws in force, t5 General Assembly of 1927 passed a act requiring that such law shall lie read and explained in the public Lh schools. The rules referring . specifically to school busses, and vhich are not always observed, are : Rule 63, (section 5), "Before pass ing or attempting to pass a public school bus while it is standing upon any public road and taking on or putting off school children, the opera tor of the passing vehicle must bring it to a full stop at least 50 feet from Uie bus." The responsibility, how ever, does not all rest upon the driv er of the passing vehicle, for section 31-pf this rule states, "'Every school track, and every passenger bus, is required to come t6 a complete stop at every railroad crossing, whether 'designated as a 'full stop' crossing or not." Rule 84, (section 7). 'Twenty-five miles an hour while operating a bus carrying school children to or from school along any public highway or street in this state," is the maximum rate of speed permissible. Rule 45 is one which applies to all drivers and one which aims to im press operators of motor vehicles with the necessity of exercising care at all times. Ball Game Elliiay ball team played Walnut Creek team last Thursday, December 5, on Higdonville's court. The score was 18-2, in favor of Elhjay boys. la Memory A. Li IlcUssd. Who Died January '10, 1523 Our once little happy home is home to me no more. ' He was always there. He was kind and affectionate. Only my God knows how I miss him Sometimes in my weakness I step out on the porch to call my son to his meals and call my companion in stead. How it stirs my heart with grief when he cannot answer. But thank God, my loss is heaven's gain. During all his sickness he never got impatient. He knew he' was in our Father's keeping. Only one time he spoke of a de sire to stay here. He said, "I hate to leave you and" Elizabeth. I'm afraid you'll have a hard time." He knew I would miss his tender care. I can almost feel the touch of his pale, thin hand on my brow now. When long, dark nights came and found me restless and unable to sleep, he waV ever, ready to get up, build a fire, and sit and talk with me. When trouble came along, he was consoling and tried to bear my burdens. Now I am alone, save for the Comforter. The roar and rippling of the Cul lasaja river over the boulders around the little island and on and on down the valley, fighting its ; way to the Little Tennessee, tells me of the stream of time that is swiftly pass ing when I shall meet my loved one face to face. Day by day as I strive to win the battles of this earthly life, Iteaven seems nearer and dearer to me. When the roses bloom that he set out in the field along the river bank where he obeyed the command of our Lord by tilling the soil by the sweat of his brow. I am reminded that he is living and waiting for me up yonder. The howling of the wind in the pine trees he set around our humble home, is whispering ana pleading to show my boys the path that leads to life everlasting. Oh! why do you waitr dear boy? Do you not remember the many times while lying on his bed of affliction, he would say, "Oh! Father come and take me.", The Lord soon heard and answered his prayer. He sent an angel and carried his spirit away. The Lord has work for me yet to do. Yes, it is to rescue my boys from the dangerous pits of hell. Then, my dear ones, wouldst thou sutler me sor .surely wc win not pmntv-liandfrl trn to our Saviour. - - "So long thy power hath blessed me, Surely it still will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, Till night is gone. And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since. And lost awhile." Mrs. Sarah Crawford Holland.
