SAFETY FIRST?

While attempting to place q Safety
Week sticker on the windshield of
his automobile while the car was in
motion, the driver of Ford runabout
nearly figured in serious crash on
Church street this morning. The
driver had one hand on the wheel and
with the other was sticking the paster.
Apparently paying more attention to
his interest in Safety First week than
to actual safety, he allowed the car to
run off it's course and directly toward
a standing car in which several per-
sons were sitting. He righted the We
hicle. however, in time to prevent a
serious crash.

with many able speakers presenting
to many of the schools the advantages
of education, and the necessity of get

Today it has fifty-two. Of this fifty
two, fifteen are consolidated schools
