lO-Year-OId Boy
InLatest Accident

Byron Lawrence, 10-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. e. Lawrence, resi-.
dents of Bogalusa Terrace, suffered
two broken ribs and several minor
scalp wounds when hit by the iserY-
ice car of Rex Trigo on Avenue B
bridge Thursday, afternoopE
The accident took piece shortly
after matinee perfoVfnance at the
picture show, and Urge number Of
children were Witnesses to it. Ac-
cording to these spectators, young
Lawrence was playing along the walk,
hOmeward bound from the show, and
attempted to cross the road just as
two cars were passing each other.
One car, belonging to Mr.. Green
of Varnado, and driven by a lad of
some IL or Is years, loaded with chill
dren, was headed north and on the
left side Of the road, turned sharply
to the right within a few feet of the
TrigO car, which was returning with
four ex-soldiers from Pine where they
had been attending the funeral of
Houston Grain. The Lawrence boy
failed to see the Trigo car approach
ing and Trigo was so busy
watching the Green car to avert an
expected head-on collision, that he
failed to notice the children playing
on the railing bordering the roadway.
Just as the two cars passed each
other, young Lawrence started to run
across the road, espied the Trigo car
and stopped right in its path. The
action, took place so suddenly that
Trigo was unable to apply his brakes
and the car struck the boy in the
head, knocking him down and the
front wheels passed over his body, the
machine was stopped within a few
feet of the accident and the injured
boy picked up and carried at once to
the hospital, where examination show
ed that two of his ribs were broken.
Although knocked unconscious, the
lad recovered before reaching the hos
pital and told his questioBers his
name and where his parents resided.

''The State Federation of Business
and Professional Women's Clubs of
Louisiana meet in BOgalusa on the
third and fourth of June. This is the
first time there has ever been a con-
ventiOn of women held in Bogalusa,
and we want to give them such time
that they viii be glad to come back

In order to have the guests well
taken care of, every working woman
in the City of Bogalusa ought to be
permitted by her employer to be off
on the third and fourth of June and
help entertain the guests, who will
really be guests of the City of Boga-
lusa. We certainly want them to go
away feeling that the girls and
women are just as well taken care of
in Bogalusa at conventions as the
men are.
"Will greatly appreciate it if you
will do your part towards letting the
girl and women employees off on these
two days, especially those who are
members of the Bogalusa club.

REV. MAURY DELIVERS
EXCELLENT SERMON

The address delivered by Rev.
Maury, of the Presbyterian church,

sive sermons ever delivered in Boga-

Girls Get Flowers;
Boys Offered Jobs

There is an old saying, credited 20
General Grant, that ''the DemOeratic
party was always doing the right
thing but at the wrong time" II
General Grant was living in these
days and a resident of this section he
would have long ago discovered that
there was citizen in Bogalusa who
was always doing something new and
at the proper time. This week nine
teen young ladies of Bogalusa viii
graduate from the high school and
face life's battles. Mayor Sullivan
sent each of the young ladies in the
graduating class flowers and to the
boys he offered Jobs. Following is
copy of letter he mailed to each of
the young men:
Gam sending some flowers to the
Young ladies in the graduating class,
but there is nothing that / can send
any of the boys that would add to
their dignified appearance. Would
like to make suggestion, however,
that we will be glad to furnish en-
plOyment to all the boys that want to
work during the summer.
"There is another thing / would
like to suggest and that is that we
are going to have a Forestry school at
Bogalusa for sixty days, and it will
be in charge of some of the profess
sorS of the Louisiana State Univer-
sity, and also in charge of the Con-
servation Department of the State.
This school is going to be located
seven miles from Bogalusa at Jack
son Springs. We want a fine lot Of
hoy sto attend from all over the
State. The only expense that the
boys will have in connection with it
is SIS per week for their board. We
have decided to take the first five
boys that volunteer from the grad
Mating class and paw their expenses
to the school in order for them to
take this sixty-day course.
AS soon as you get this letter, if
YOU will take the matter up with Mr..
j. K. Johnson, who has charge of our
refOrestation matters, he will make
the necessary arrangements. Wish
that We could send all of You. but
Iumbermen, and some want to be in
YOU all certainly don't want to be
fOresters. Some want to be cleo
tricians, some want to be first-ciass
the paper business. Whatever Won
would like to do, just let us know.
VERY sincerely,
"W. Fl. SULLIVAN

DRIVERS URGED TO
HELP PACK STREETS

eff drivers of automobiles in BOga-
lusa would drive on the right side Of
the street and not in the center it
would assist materially in making the
new streets much better" said a lead
ing citizen to The Enterprise. Take
Avenue B for instance. Everyone
seems to drive in the center, and as
a result the center is packed in fine.
condition while each side is yet soft.
The sooner the car owners cooperate
in this work the sooner BOgaIusa
streets will be ideal. Let every car
owner try this for a short time and
once they see the good they are do
ing, they will continue"
