I I : I, J JO "Where Is the traffic policeman?" asked a Gastonia -citizen of a group of men at the corner of the postofflce Saturday night. ' "Don't believe I can tell you,M re plied one of the men, "because -- I don't think there's any cop around these diggins by that name. It there is I've never heard about him and I've been living here for the past 15 years." ' "Well, I' just wanted to show him a lUtle sight down here in front of the Ideal Theatre," continued citi zen number one. "Down t;ere wagon can hardly get by the four automobiles that are parked on the street. Yea air, there's four, two on each side of the street, cause I counted them myself." ' "Say," Joined in a third citizen, "let me tell you what I saw tbe oth er day on Main street. There were two Fords and an Overland touring car parked right down yonder in front of the new First National Bank building all at the same time. I don't know how the three cars man aged to get in there but it looked like they had been shuffled up and thrown down together." "Well what do you reckon people want to crowd their cars in a piaoe like that for." inquired business man number four. "Don't know," an swered several, "but they will do it, and at times it looks as it there, was a contest on offering the man who managed to place his car in a posi tion that occupied tbe most space some kind of a prize." About that time a friend came along with a seven-passenger limou sine and everybody piled in and took a ride. slapped him with the back of ray hand. He took it good-naturedly, but I wasn't satisfied so I struck him again. In about one-third of the time it. takes to tell ft, that boy' had Jumped ofe me and was giving me a good, sound whipping before I knew what was happening - When it waif all over I felt kinder like- Td been through a thrashing machine. I Then it was that I learned that there were other people In the world besides myself. I would never have learned the lesson so impressively in any other way ir i Vv-U--v,;:Vr", 4 AlmoBt every main can recall - - in his boyhood days one or more or those Instances when a fisticuff with some playmate was necessary to set tle a little difference.

'. ; ' ' . ! : .-- -..sM 4- i AND p W COLLEGES - "1 did my last fighting many years ago." declared a prominent Gastonia physician several days ago in Tor rence's. Drug Store as he was discuss ing various things in a brief way with the editor of this column. "It was a way back when I was Just a kid," he continued, "and at tbat time I had an idea that every body and everything was subserv ient to me. There came a time when I, learned that I had been laboring under a false impression however. It happened this way: I was playing mumble-peg one day when a little skinny fellow walked up and looked on over my shoulder.' I thought he had no business watching me so I "With all of Its cotton mills, rail roads, asphalt streets, cement side walks, electric railways, hotels and what not, Gastonia is a long way from that point when she can be call ed a city. I have traveled In a great many States in the past two years and never before have I witnessed such, a miserable arrangement as Gastonia haa with reference to Ita traffic on Main street, I was actual ly astonished.'-' v-- Thus asserted a visitor to Gasto-. nia several days ago to his brother with whom" he was spending a ; rew days. There can be no argument ad vanced by any Gastonian in defense of this question. Gastonia has un doubtedly the poorest excuse for a traffic ordinance of any town In North Carolina or even in the South. Automobiles are parked on Main street within a few feet of the car line, crossings are blocked.' mufflers are kept wide open, no consideration is riven the pedestrians while practi cally every automobile , that moves up and down Main street In Gastonia violates the slaw by exceeding ""the speed limit. 1 Not a day passes but the editor of this column Is asked Why something is not done to reme dy this condition of affairs. "You know what's so." said a citi zen Saturday, "Gastonia folks hare just sat down and let Lincoln ton, York, Rock Hill and every other town around here get ahead of them on this keep-to-tne-right proposi tion. And it's a bad advertisement for the towpj too. It's a mystery to me why some of the city fathers don't take the initiative in this mat ter and put a traffic ordinance into effect.", .
