Hie employment of capable me chanics to work on school busses over the state, wherever the busses are In need of being overhauled and put in first class condition, has been approved by Mrs. Thomas O'Berry, civil works administrator for the state it was announced at the CWA offices here. The mechan ics, of course, must be selected from the unemployed mechanics who have registered with the various re employment service offices over the state. “While all of the 5,000 or more school busses in the state were overhauled and put into good con dition before school opened, it Is known that a good many counties have not had the money to keep these busses in as good repair as they should have been kept since,' Mrs. O’Berry said. “It is very es sential, however, that all these school busses be kept in the very best repair possible, since the safe ty and lives of thousands of chil dren depends upon the condition of these. basses. “So it is that we have decided to put as many of the unemployed me chanics as are needed to work on these school busses in the counties where they are needed.” This Is Another Measles Year; 13,772 Cases Reported In State Parents Urged To Be On The Alert, For Serious Complications May Follow Disease. Raleigh, Dec. 28.—This is another ‘measles year" with indications that more children will, have meas les this winter than in the last lour or live years, according to Dr. J. C. Knox, assistant epidemiologist ol the State Board ol Health. This means that parents in all sections at the state should be on the alert lor symptoms ol this disease, now considered one ol the most serious d! childhood, in order to give their children the proper care if they on tract. Up to December 1st Hut year, a total of 13,772 cases of measles had been reported to the State Board of Health as compared with a total of 13,672 for the entire twelve months of 1932.

Postlvrly, The Coldest This Year; Tragedies From Exposure Elsewhere. Shelby's 11,000 tossed another chunk of coal on the fire last night and pulled the blankets closer, for unless this writer’s cold toes are miscreant reporters, last night was the coldest of all, positively. Just how cold it was. In accur ate Fahrenheit, could not be deter mined this morning, for no official records are kept in Shelby. But the pup howled ' all night, and Bob Hord, CWA official, said it was so cold he had to bring in the brass monkey. Tragedies accompanied the bit ter cold in other states from Maine to Montana. It was 42 below in Maine, 30 below in Minnesota, 33 below in North Dakota. Three fishing crafts are still missing off the coast of Maine. but a coast guard cutter was able to cut through six-miles of ice on Lake Michigan to save a schooner miss ing two days. A dozen cities reported finding bodies in the streets, victims of ex posure. Snow flurries reached a depth of three feet in sections near the eastern Great Lakes. It was the coldest In three years in New York, the minimum being 9 above zero. It was getting colder In Chi cago last night, and on the Can ada n border it was 30 to 52 degrees ; below. Come to think it over, maybe it wasn’t so cold in Shelby after all. Postoffice Delay Is Due To Ickes tsui congressman Huiwuikie i n inks When Postoffice ItriBuilt It Will Have Courtroom. Further delay In Shelby postof flce construction but belief that when the contract is let arrange ments can be made for a federal court room are forecast in a letter to The Star from Congressman A. L. Bulwinkle. The trouble right now, Mr. Bul I winkle thinks, is that Secretary i Ickes who is in charge of public | works, Is not in favor of immediate j work on any such projects as post offices but he believes this is a tem porary situation. The sunj of $85,000 was allocated by congressional bill for the Shel by postoffice. For purchase of the i Hoey building $2b.000 was expend i ed leaving $65,000 for the postoffice, j an insufficient sum, which will have to be supplemented from some otfcer federal funds.
