Better Take Reaction Test; You May Be Slower Than You Think How quick can you stop your car in an emergency? Ever wonder just how fast you could react if danger suddenly loomed ahead as you drove down the highway? Or how your own reaction time compared with others or the sta tistical average compiled by other drivers throughout the country? If interested, drop by We In surance office of John P. Ballard in Hillsboro any lime this week for a test of your reaction time on the “Reactometer.” It may offer a clue as to just how safe a driver you are. The test Js frea. If your reaction time is slow er than average, the advice is to compensate for It by driving at proportionately slower speeds. _ Ballard presented a Reactome ter demonstration and accompany ing safety film aT a chapel pro gram at Hillsboro High Tuesday and will give the program again tomorrow at Central School.

' A number of potential appointees fur. .the post left vacant last Fall by-the resignation of Me*. Jane P-irkcr to take a family service « geney job in Durham have been interviewed by the Welfare Board members during the past three months. Some have appeared suit able and been offered jobs, all at considerably higher salary than has. previously been paid the Welfare Superintendent in this county. How ever, in each case the applicant v\ ithdrew his application upon re ceipt of an increased salary in his old position. Some official discussion has tak en place relative to securing the return of Mrs. Parker to the post but this action is believed by most spokesmen on the subject to be highly improbable even if the sal ary is raised sufficiently to in terest her. There are many factors on both sides of the fence which would affect this decision, it was pointed out. - Meanwhile, .the department con tinues to be operated on the profes sional level by comparatively in experienced personnel and the search for a permanent superinten I tent continues. ■ t.
