Galatians 8:28. SPEEDING IN HERTFORD MUST BE STOPPED It is our belief that it is not going to be necessary to" sacrifice the life jpf a child to the Demon Speed in Slertfprd in order to put a stop to speeding; on the streets of the town, The entire citizenship of the Town is with Mayor Wredbee in his stand to stop the excessive speeding on our streets. True, the Town nas taiicea about the matter for years, talked and talked. The matter never got any further than that. . I ; ; The people wisely shake their heads sometimes when some motorist whizzes by at fifty, sixty or seventy . miles an hour, and remark that something ought to be done about JSvh the matter. That is as far as it has ever gone, except that it has been frequently stated that some child' life is going to be crushed out un less a stop is put to the practice of speeding here. The subject has been mentioned .again and again in these columns, and it has been pointed out that the matter could be and ought to be controlled. - . . The subject of speeding on Hert ford's streets was discussed at some length at 4he meeting of the Town .Board on Monday night, and it is 'our belief that at last something is to be done. Mayor Whedbee is in - terested, and he knows the citizens of the town are with him.1 "INASMUCH AS YE HAVE DONE IT UNTO ONE OF THE LEAST OF .". : THESET -' " ;:' " Thje women of the- Parent - Teach er Association of the Hertford Gram mar; School went about doing good this year, making the blind to see, giving strength to the weak. The women didn't have a great deal of money to spend. But they wera interested in doing things, and they got in touch with the various sources of help. - They wanted to 6erve hot lunches to the school child ren who came to school from long AtatartfAM anI waM in nMul Jlf T1A11. rishing food at the noon hour. The! WPA helped, certain funds were available from another source, and the women worked, and the project was put across.
