Letter To Sditoi Editor. THE HERALD [jrar Sir: The tragedy which occurrtd Saturday night makes it very dear that the City of Kings Mountain needs a system of gates r warning signals at every rail-) i oad t russing. •| > speak of this now. after mi. ti a horrible accident has al-j readv happened, would seem to he a »it like lot king the stable i fter the horse has beat stolen wive it not for the fact that the past iilstory of such happenings !earl\ indicate-, that unless such , i i is taken we can certainly .•xpc. 1 other similar tragedies in Ih- future. As was reported in :he papers. theie have been at least thus i involving trains it t' it particula. crossing alone tit recent years, anil many, many more at ail of Kings Moun tain's crossings in the past. City Attorney J. R. Davis told me Monday that a community may legally require the railroad to put up sonic form of protec tive- devices, and I immediately phoned city councilman Ray Cline , to request that he ask the city to do so Mr. Cline* has asked May-, Budges to write the Southeim Railway Co. requesting such ac- i tail and he said that hi* will bring up the matter for official action it the next meeting of the t »wn hoard. Mr. Cline is greatly to lw- {unintended for this action. I am sure tiial the other mvm bers of tlu* hoard share similar views, and that th<*y must have heard -imilar expressions from other interested citizens. It is really lo la* hoped that this in terest yviil he erystali/od in the form of immediate and positive action. I am told that protective gates, Mi.-h -as those at the North Pied mont \ve. crossing near the railroad depot, are quite expen sive. .vul there is some question as to whether a railroad may be required to undergo such expense alone*. Perhaps n system of lights and hells at all crossings in the r-itx would he sufficient. Perhaps, too. if the city were xvilling to help contribute to the* cost ofj Mich a system it would be* easier land quicker* to get it accom plished. At any rate the need is both evident and urgent, and if the .•iti/ens of Kings Mountain would make their feelings known to their elected officials it will give* thns<> officials a much stronger) position in stating the city's case to the railroad. I urge all interested citizens to1 make their feelings known to tlicir town cottu-ilmen. Sincerely. Ed II.

City Of Kings Mountain Life With The Rimpies By Les Carroll tMT*«D0*MJLT*«»«vrS TMINM K3M wSMDMr TO sgMSfc t TBBN8 BMALTB Bealtk mud 8a/*y Tift The American Medical Frostbite is ail ever present' danger in winter in much of the nation. It can be a serious injury. First si;*ns of frostbite arc "pins and needle*" prickly feel ing and then numbness, says To day's Health. the magazine of the American Medical Association. The affected part will turn white or gray, and later red. Frostbite can be very painful for a long period, can result in amputtoains anti leave the victim hypersensitive to cold for the rest nf his life. In some ways the da mage is similar to a burn. Prevention is me nest protec lion against frostbite. Dress pro perly in warm clothing, water proof sho<>s and heavy dry socks. Cover face and ears. Keep doth ing dry from outside moist urb and from perspiration. Avoid tight clothing or garters that mav restrict circulation. •Motorists should carry heavy clothing and shoes in the car. It might be necessary to hike to a garage for assistant-** if the mo tor stalls. The first step in first aid is thawing of frozen body tissue. Bring the victim indoors to a warm room. Tieat the frozen part with gentleness. Don't rub or massage. Ice or snow app!i<*d to the frozen part merely delays thawing. Prompt medical treatment is important. Control of severe pam >is required. Antibiotics and anti tetanus injections may be needed if the shin is broken. First degree frostbite. similar to sunburn. Is likely to attack the ears, toes, fingers. cheeks <>r nose. Seittul degree frostbite produces blisters, anil third degree free/ ing damages deep tissues. Much of the frozen part may be lost. Most cases of frostbite need not have happened, if the victim , had been properly dressed and had used judgment about staying out t o o long in subfreezing weather.
