Bikes And Laws* Attention is called to the fact that Judge W. B. McQueen assessed court costs on two defendents brought into county court this week for failure to have lights on their bicycles which they were operating on the public highways at nights. The bicycle is classed as a “vehicle” by the laws of the state, and those self-same laws have some very de finite things to say about the operat ion of “vehicles” on the public roads and highways of the state. When a person operates a car improperly on the highways and is caught, the law provides a definite punishment for the offense. In the same manner the laws provides a proper and just puh- ishmen for the failure to operate a bicycle on the highways. The provis ion of the statutes which describe the bicycle is as follows: Articlfe 1, Motor Vehicle Laws of North Carolina:—“(fit) . . . for the purpose of this act, bicycles shall be deemed vehicles, and every rider of a.bicycle upon a highway shall be subject to the provisions of this Act applicable to the driver of a vehicle except those which by their nature can have no application.” This means that bicycle riders must obey stop signs and stop lights, give hand signals when preparing to stop or turn, ride on the right, et cetera. In other words, bicycle riders are required to obey all the general traffic rules and regulations that drivers of motor vehicle have to obey except those which could not apply to bicycles, such as the 60-miles maximum speed law. Parents should bear in mind these regulations and laws when permitting their children ride their bikes. While no driver’s license is required for their operation, for the safety of their children they should see that the child is familiar with the necessary requirements and make the child obey them. Any accident in which a child on a bicycle is involved is too bad. But for the parent to know that serious inji^ or death might have been avoided if the child had been properly instructed, places a grave charge of negligence (not on the driver of the car which has struck the bike) on the parent who should have seen that the child knew and obeyed the traffic regulations.

POOLE'S MEDLEY By D, Scott Poole The omission of a word in a para graph in this column last week de stroyed its meaning. I attempted to say Governor Eugene Talmadge of Georgia opposed mixed schools of Negroes and whites; and for that his course is commendable. But there must be something worse to acqtQRit for. Of the slaves captured in Africa; brought to North America and sold into bondage more than fifty per cent, of them were docile; kind and easily controlled; but the remaining half were of necessity ruled by a hand of iron. H. D. C. Leader. 1$ Promoted Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, one of the pioneer home demonstration workers in North Carolina, has been appointed assistant to the State home agent; according to an announcement from the headquarters of the Agricultural Extension Service at N. C. State Coll ege. Mrs. Smith is widely known among the 45,000 farm women who are members of Home Demonstration Clubs in North Carolina. In announcing the appointment of Mrs. Smith to the newly-created po sition; Miss Ruth Current; State home demonstration agent, said: “I am sure that Mrs. Smith’s many friends will be glad to know that she will con tinue as counselor of the N, C. Fed eration of Home Demonstration club, a post she has held for six or seven years. She will be able to devote more time to this work.” Mrs. Smith has been district home agent for the southeastern counties of the State since 1918. She will be succeeded as south-eastern district ^ent by Miss Verna Stanton, Durham County home agent since 1938 and an Extension Service worker.since IMS. Ml» Lonu Ungtey, SampeS! County home agent; will replace Miss Stanton in Durham County. It was in 1914, shortly before the oeation of the present Agricultural ^tension Service, that Mrs. Smith became home agent in Wayne County. She served in Wayne county untU Dr. Jane S. McKimmon; organizer of m>tae demonstration work in the State; asked her to assume the district agmt post on an emergency basis Aulng the first World War. After the war she continued as district agent on a permanent basis. not fertilized; still we had plenty of wheat; oats and rye. I never did like rye bread—nor corn bread. We sold beef cattle; but dressed pork in a small way. Not more than two bales of cotton were produced on fa(}ier’s farm. He lived at home— without mopey. > As good eduoational advantages should be movided for Negroes as for whites, but there should be strictly maintaiived separate schools; for mix ed schools will enevitably lead to an amalgamation of the races; and the evil of this great evil of this may be seen in the peoples between the Riogrande River and Cape Horn. I recall a time when not one per cent of the colored people could read. Nor did they try to learn, I asked Uncle Henry; who belonged to my grandfather Ray. “Uncle Henry; why don’t yoh learn to read?” rAnd he said: “Well; Scotty; I never had any chance.” He had had about fifty years. Once I knew the countries of the earth; their capitals; chief cities; the rivers; the mountains; form of gov ernment; population; kind of people —and more about all of them than I do now. During my teaching days I reviewed daily my textbooks. And; since I have not seen a school book; except Jule Warren’s History of North Carolina. The late N. D. J. Clark of Jackson Springs attended a spelling match they had there while there was a graded and high school at that place; and they never did stall him. He was a remarkable scholar who knew the whole or seemed to. Nearly all his pupils are dead; but they all said he was thorough in aU branches of knowledge. They all' lie so we can hardly know what a true statement is, but guessing from aU reports together; the death toll of this war is approi- mately twenty million lives sacra, ficed so far. Nothing has ever been gained by a fight—nothing adjusted. Adjustments are made by diplomacy. Doctor: “You cough more easily to day.” Patient: “Yes. I practiced last night.” “Food for Freedom’^ Meeting” Friday A meeting will be held Friday night, October 31, at 7:30 P. M., at the County Court House, where the County and Community Triple-A Committeemen, as well as the U. S. D. A. Defense Council Members, will meet to discuss the “Feed for Freedom Program.” All farmers wiU be asked during November to in dicate on a Defense Plan of Work Form, as to the amount of food and feed they will produce for farm and home needs and what additional amount can be produced for the De fense Program. Farmers of Hoke County will be asked to increase their milk product ion in 1942 over 1941 by 200,000 pounds or 30 or more cows should be placed in the county. They wiU be asked to make a 25% increase in the egg production or 58,472 doz en. Soybeans for oil purposes should be increased by 500 acres, and pea nuts for oil should be grown by the farmers up to 1500 acres or more. Other crops that should be increased is oats by 500 acres and barley by 240 acres. Farmers will have an oportunity to indicate the exact number of acres they will grow of these crops. r/ “Testerday’i Wife” A serious national problem, pecu liar to this post-repeal age,' is that of drinking mothers, ii^ves, and daughters. Alcoholism among women was never a problfim in former days. HuroughoutAmerican history—until 1933—^women were more like the fol lowers of Ae Woman’s Christian Temperance Un ion ; they ab stained them selves and they tried by . persua sion, religion, and legislation to keep alcohol away from their menfolk. Even to4ay, the W. C. T. U., the great women’s organizations, the churches are proof that most women still are not drinkers. Yet, these groups are concerned over the increase in women drink ers, such as that reported in a Chi cago newspaper in mid-1941. The secretary of the Illinois Hu mane Society reported more drink ing among women than for 40 years. The director said: “We’vp more trouble than we ever had with worn-., en neglecting their families.” This one society reported seven out of 15 court cases where mothers preferred drinking to looking after their families, four were alcoholics and were placed in institutions. Another report, from a widely- known alcoholism institute, says that addiction is more prevalent among housewives and mothers than among career women. The average age of the feminine alcoholic was given as a little over forty years. The report reads: “The women in business or a profession can not af ford to drink to excess . , . Soon er or later their economic loss re sults. On the oth er hand the fam ily of the married woman who drinks usually conspire to con ceal her weak ness from the ■ outside world. At first her alcoholic habits are not ap parent, as she drinks during the day when her husband is at work, her children at school. Eventually, as she is no longer able to hide the aft er effect of intoxication behind her plea of heddache or illness, her fam ily is ashamed and guards her se cret more closely than ever.” The above article is printed with out charge at the request of local per sons who contributed the costs of plate manufacture.—Editor.
