DOG LICENSES DUE

Notice is hereby given that Ii.

GRADE CROSSING
PSYCHOLOGY


When i'll, people will spend weeks
or months in bed and money for doc
tors, nurses and medicine, with the
hope of saving their life.
But, Judging from the number of
grade crossing accidents, many of
them place their life in imminent
peril by dashing across the track in
front of fast-moving train and even
into the train rather than spend 10
seconds waiting for the train to pass.
The psychology of this is not east
ly discernable. 1t is evident, how
ever, that not grade crossings, but
carelessness in effecting crossing,
Is the seat of trouble.
Many devices have been installed
for protection of public at grade
crossing but the most effective safe
guard is for drivers of autos to stop,
look and listen.
North Carolina enacted a law re-
curing autos to-. stop before cross
ing and in six months with this law
IN erect in spite of increase in
registered autos, grade crossing casu-
alties on the principal railway sys-
tenn OF that state were reduced SO
per cent, fatalities being instead
Oh 8, injuries II instead of %.
When it is considered that such
law is intended to- safeguard the
drivers OF autos against injury or
death at crossings, it would seem
.hat they above all others should
favor it's enactment.
III the stop law" effects such a
reuuctlon In North Carolina, how
nuch greater would be the saving of
life from passage of similar law in
Ill states.

FISHING SEASON"

AS 1 gaze at my rod and my reel
My thoughts turn away to the
brook;
AND 1t seems l can almost feel
The trout tugging away at my
hook.
l can hear the croak Of the frogs
AS they sit in their secluded
spots,
And l can hear the bark of the farm
er's dog
AS up and down the lane he trots.
I can see the old mud turtle too.
And he's looking straight at me !:
he pulls his neck almost in two
Just stretchin' it out to see.
The musk-rat hurry's away to his
den,
And the chipmunk scampers in
fright;
So Just bait my hook, and then
Sit down and patiently wait for
bite."
