SITS ON SUPREME BENCH
Local Judge Honored by Being Callec
to Help Out Ugh Court.

Owing to the crowded condition of
the docket of the Louisiana supreme
court, three separate divisions of the
body will be formed to speed up the
work of clearing the cases now be-
fore the tribunal. In order to do this
the assistance of two more judges
is needed, so that each division will
have three judges to review the cases.
In conformity with this decision
the supreme court has called Judge
Paul Leche of Donaldsenville and
Judge David N. Thompson of Har-
-riseAburg to sit as judges Of the high
court. Both Judges Leche and
Thompson sat in the supreme court
the latter part of last session when
three separate divisions of the court
were formed, as is contemplated by
the order issued this week.
This will make the third time Judge
Leche has been called to sit on the
supreme bench. He was first called
June IL, 1917, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Alfred
D. Land, and at that time sat con-
tinually with the high court until
June 7, 1918. He was again called
on December 13, 1921, sitting with
the court until its adjournment in
the summer of 1922.

SCHOOL TRANSFER
IS IN AUTO CRASH
NEAR SMOKE BEND
Thirty children Have Miraculous
Escape From Death When Truck
and Transfer Collide.

An accident which very nearly cost
the lives of several of the children
who attend the Donaldsnville High
School occurred yesterday afternoon,
about 80 o'clock, on the public road
near the Smoke Bend Catholic
church. At the time the Donaldson
vile High School transfer bus, driven
by A. Newchurch, in which thirty
five children were being taken to
their homes, was going west on the
road, at the regular moderate rate of
speed and was on the right hand side
of the road Coming east was a
truck, driven by Sam Gamibrone, aged
about 18, and Chevrolet sedan car,
driven by Atal Sarradet, young son
of A. A. Sarradet of Faubourg la
Pipe, in which were three young COM
panions. 1t is said that the Chevro-
let was endeavoring to pass the truck
and both were running at high rate
of speed. At the place is bend in
the road and just as this point was
reached the vehicles met. The truck
and the transfer bus crashed into a
head on collision, while the Chevro-
let, slightly behind, smashed into the
ISe]i Cliu VI Cle lfuCk. Inc compact
completely demolished the front end
of the transfer jamming it's engine
back into the body Of the vehicle.
The truck was also considerably dam
aged, while the Chevrolet was ditch
ed and also badly broken up.
Through some remarkable circum-
stance none Of the children was Sc
rlously injured, but several sustained
slight injuries. Mr.. Newchurch, who
stuck to his post, was thrown back
into the bus and was the victim of
the most severe injuries. DR.. Dawson
I. Martin who attended him reports
he suffered internal injuries but not
OF serious character The driver
Of the truck and the boys in the
Chevrolet escaped without injury.
This accident calls attention, forci
ably, to the fact that there are laws
against speeding on the public high
ways and that these laws are being
disregarded by many automobile
drivers. It is part of the duty of
the authorities to enforce these laws.
In yesterdays affair, the Wives of
thirty-five innocent little children
were put in jeopardy, through the
utter carelessness of speed drivers,
who were reported as disregarding
the traffic ordinances.

The committee which drafted the
program was composed of Miss
Jeanne Fortier, Miss Beulah Kelly
and Mrs. Broussard.
The Wednesday program was but
one of the features of American Edu-
cation Week. as observed at the Don
aldsonville High School. On every
day of the week, each teacher gave
special attention to topics of interest
to her pupils. On Monday, the du-
ties Of citizens to their state and
country were stressed. The meaning
of the flag and the duty to vote were
the topics of Tuesday, "Patriotism
Day. The necessity of schools was
taken up on Wednesday. The ways
of reducing illiteracy were brought to
the pupils attention on Thursday.
The week ended with an appeal for
equality and opportunity, to make
education serve the rural district as
effectively as it does great urban CEN
ters.
Frequent fire drills ha> been held
at the school since the opening of the
session. On numerous occasions, the
six hundred seventy-fve pupils in
actual attendance have vacated the
building in the time of one minute
fourteen seconds A test of block
ing three of the six regular exits was
made recently, the fire gong was
sounded without any appointed signals
and the time required to empty the
building, even with this handicap, was
but one minute fifty-two seconds. No
one but the sounder of the alarm is
ever aware that drill is to take
place, until the gong is sounded. Drills
are given about once in every ten
days. The results of the drills have
made teachers and pupils realize the
effectiveness of fire drills as safe
