I Not a Single Passenger Killed in 1935 in a Train Accident. i Declaring that “the tragic and Utterly useless destruction of life - on the public highways and at rail way grade crossings can and must be stopped,” the Norfolk and West r ern Railway in a statement issued s today points to the railroads’ record of “not a single passenger killed in a train accident during 1935” as a r “shining example of what can be done and what is being done in travel safety.” The N. & W. has spent more than $780,000 for the installation of pro tective devices at crossings, and . spends $240,000 anni|illyi for she l maintenance of these devices and the pay of gatemen and watchmen, the statement says. ‘Despite these i huge expenditures for the protection • of the public and the railway’s con . tinuous campaign to educate the public to ‘stop, look and listen,’ al most one-fourth of all grade cross ► ing accidents on the Norfolk and ■ Western during 1935 were due to . automobiles being driven into the sides of trains. In addition, 110 au tomobiles were driven through . and broke down N. & W. crossing ■ gates which had been lowered to protect them against approaching trains.” “Despite the fact that the N. &W. has spent $3,400,000 within a recent ten-year-period for the elimiaation of crossings,” the statement con tinues, “the public and public au thorities are continually opening new highways and streets across the railway’s tracks.” To stop “the destruction of life on the highways—36,4oo killed dur ing 1935,” the railroad points out that “it is going to take system and organization; tireless and intelligent spreading of the gospel of caution and safety.” The railway concludes with the statement: “You and every other citizen of the nation must) help. The exercise of caution on your part may save your life. What you say to a friend may save his life. You must do your part.” o RESOLUTION OF RESPECT We, the stewards of Brooksdale charge, wish to express our deep feeling of loss when our Heavenly Father called from us our beloved pastor, Rev. R. E. Pittman on Janu ary 12, 1936. Here was a life of wonderful beauty, filled with love and service. It may be sincerely said, "To know him was to love ' him.” He is gone from us but will ] never be forgotten. His good works 1 will ever linger in the minds of his people whom he labored with so , faithfully.
