FRENCH BROAD RIVER
IS FROZEN ALL ACROSS
FLOW OF ICE CONSIDERED
DANGEROUS WHEN IT
BREAKS UP
The lone continued cold spell for the
last ten days of December has re
sulted in the French Broad River's
being ftrozen practically solid, and the
ice banked to the level of the dam
near the depot. It is said that the
ice is packed all the way from the
Redmon dam up to the Marshall dam,
and all up towards Asheville. It is
feared that when the ice begins to
break up it will be dangerous to pro
perty along the river in the vicinity
of Marshall and below. The resi
dents here say that this is the great
est freeze the river has experienced
eince 1917.

SAFTY WORK PRAISED
An earnest appeal to police and
motoring authorities throughout the
world to make an intensive study of
the remarkable automobile safety
campaign waged for the past year
by Police Commissioner Lewis Val
entine, of New York City, was made
this week by John D. Collins, sales
, manager of the Tide Water Oil' Com
pany.
A safety campaign that saves, one
Ii3! is worth white," said 'Mr. Collins,
"but a campaign that eaves hundreds
of lives is something that should com
mand the immediate attention of ev
erybody. "Commissioner Valentine has
quietly but efficiently gone about the
business of reducing automobile acci
dents in New York and he has done
a splendid job of it. By posters,
newspaper interviews, radio pro,
grams, special schooling of policemen,
providing of safe playgrounds, mov
ing trucks mounting wrecked cars
with gruesome wax figures oft acci
dent victims, and in other ways he
has this year reduced automobile
(jpfeidqnts in itJbe metropolitan dilsr

i The .automobile industry, motoring
authorities everywhere,, police and
.public spirited bodies of various kinds
are etudyifng the problem and doing
what they can. .But the situation'
except in New York City is growing
worse. Commissioner valentine has
worked out a recipe for safety which
seems to be working. If it can work
there it can work in other places.
Let's apply it everywhere and save
ten thousand lives.
A man who robbed the L H, Black
store at Verdel, Neb., was just jok

left it outside the door with this note:
"Better get a new cop."
