Traffic Squads Will Be
Named at Edison High
by Faculty Committee

The faculty of the Edison Junior
High school under the direction of
the principal are trying to prepare
the boys and girls to live the fullest
possible lives in the greater Harris
burg that is to be by teaching them
to live full lives in the present
school life. When the organization
is complete, the direction of the
school activities will be largely in
the hands of the boys and girls.
Every thing will be closely super
vised by the faculty. Thus the stu
dent by participating in the manage
ment of the school will learn what
government in the larger sense
means. They will also, it is hoped
learn how to secure the best gov
ernment how to cooperate with
their fellows and how to obey.
With this end in view the prlncl-
pal has appointed the following
faculty committee to make nomlna-
tions for traffic officers: Miss Ed
wards. Miss J. Lutz, Miss Sherwood
Miss Julia Ryan and Mr.. Grove
Miss Julia Ryan is head of the Ed1-
son school traffic officers. Acting IN
this capacity Miss Ryan appointed
the following students to act as tenn
porary officers until a regular squad
can be selected. If these students
fill the position efficiently there is
little doubt that they will be placed
in nomination and regularly elected
in the. near future. On the first
division list are Marlin Bender, SA-3;
James Coleman, obi; Harry Fox,
9B-6; William Heagy, Obs, Edward
Heckert, Obs; Adam HUT, SB-6;
Thomas Jones. 9B-5; Robert Lenig,
SA-2; George Missimer, SA-S;
Charles Nye, SA-4; Charles Sanders,
SB-7; Willis Sheare, 9B-6; and Leo
Wenrick, SB-7. On the second divi-
sion list are the following: George
Bennett, SB-3; Wilbur Brian, SB-S;
Eugene Fry, TBS; Thomas Howell,
7B-1: Charles Harper, 7A-4; James
Middaugh, SB-3; Charles Miller,
7A-4 Gilbert Morrissey, 7A-3;
Charles Reigle. 7B-2; Howard Sny-
der, SB-4; Arthur Spangler, lbs;
Gilbert Sprout, 7A-1; Tibertus Zeig-
ler, 7B-5; and Merrill Shepherd,
SB-1.
These boys will stand at all points
where traffic in the corr: :dors is
likely to become congested and reg
ulate the movements of the students
when classes are being passed from
one recitation to the other or going
to and from the auditorium and at
dismissal and assembly.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM INSTANT DEATH
LEE GUF'FEY AND TEAM CAUGHT
ON EGAN AVENUE RAIL
ROAD CROSSING.

Lee Guffey, who lives on the Sid
Lee farm south OF the city, escaped
death last eevning by very small
margin. He drove a team to town
yesterday and had the horses hitched
to a wagon with double deck side
boards. After transacting business
for a number of hours he started
south down Egan avenue along about
$3.50, headed towards home.
Mr.. Guffey Is not reckless driver,
but he drove a team that Is more or
less spirited and needed close watch
ing. AS he approached the first set
of tracks at the railroad crossing he
observed the afternoon freight pull
ing in from the east AT once the
team was stopped a safe distance
from the crossing, but the pinching
cold, together with the putting en-
gine caused both horses to become
restless and unmanageable They be-
came frightened, and, instead of
backing down or swerving sideways
plunged ahead taking a stand directly
across the rails. So sudden was this
maneuver that the engineer was un-
able to stop the train in time to avert
an accident. The engine struck the
wagon on a line with the front hubs,
showing 1t along the rails to a point
Immediately in front of the station.
The brakes were set as soon as the
engineer discovered that a collision
was certain, but the impetus of the
trains onward force prevented a
quick stop.
A number of passengers were in
the station last evening awaiting their
trains which were late and the acci-
dent caused no little excitement.
Mr.. Guffey was removed from The
wreck and placed in the Madison 1s-
pital where an examination was n
Quoted. He was unhurt SO far as y
serious injury is concerned and /,
ceived no more than few scratcheb
Mr.. Guffey was able to return home
today with thanks to the luck that
saved his life, or at least. saved him
from being badly injured.
The team Mr.. Guffey drove broke
loose from the wagon at the time the
cow catcher struck the front wheels.
They, too, sustained no injury SO far
as could be discovered, but the wagon
was reduced to kindling and lies piled
up beside the little grass plot at the
east end OF the station.
