Equipped with dry clothing, rub>ing her wet hair with ? a toivol, roan was hearing for the hunIredth time her grandfather's plainive lecture. Why was she so ungrateful? Why keep trying to" run iway from him? Wasn't he giving ler every comfort, every luxury? "Yes, you feed and clothe me," irgued Joan, "but am I permitted :o have any friends of my own? So! Can't you see I only want an >PPortunity to live,iny own life ? )o as I please ? accomplish somo:liisg In the world ? even if it's :riv:ng a truck or singing In a Vight club ? anything but being in idle ninny!"

That means crossing the Atlantic!" "Don't let that worry you," said Joan airily. "It's much better since they fixed It up!" Orders were orders, and Captain Jackson was not the man to disobey them. The Nautilus was well equipped for a long rpn. and without more ado the Captain gave the oraer to weign ancnor ana headeJ for the Western Hemisphere. But he found time, (without bothering to tell Joan about it) to send a wireloss message to a certain I.on bank whore it wo>iVl reaoh \ir. Butterfleld.

Add More Danger To Traffic The release of several hundred thousand active boys and girls upon North Carolina streets and high ways as a result of the closing of the public schools poses a serious safety problem for parents and mo torists, Konald Hncutt, director of the .Highway Safety Division, stated this week. "A good-motto for motorists to adopt at this season of the }ear is School's out ? watch, out,' the safe ty director said. And a suggestion for parents is this: If you want your child ton to play in a safe place >ou should provide an attractive place where th.ey can play*>at home. Hocutt pointed out that even in ot diuaxy times there are great potentialities for tragedy when throngs of carefree, energetic and often thoughtless children are re- j leased from school for the summer vacation period, but that these dan gers are greatly increased at a time such as the present, when traffic fatalities in this state are running nearly 50 percent above last year and the general tempo of life and; traffic is greatly stepped up He suggested that parents can help avert child traffic fatalities by (!) providing attractive places for children to play away from traffic, (2) discouraging children from visP ROTE CT ION FOR Y Valuable documents, ante policies, bonds, _1 1 _ - - 1 _ !_ ueeas, jeweiry ana snv< should be kept in a sal posit box to safegua gainst fire and theft.
