HERE TONIGHT

Tonight the University Of North
Carolina Glee Club will give a con-
cert at the Vermont Avenue Chris
tan Church. bringing q nationally
recognized organization to this city.
Since his assumption of the posi-
ton of director of the Glee Club at
the university. Paul John Weaver
has worked wonders with the organ
ization. He has adopted the type
of program introduced first in 1919
by the Harvard Glee Club under
the direction OF DIR. Archibald Davi-
son.
Among the notable trips of last
year were the usual State tour and
the western trip. The Glee Club
composed of 40 men, toured North
Carolina and later went to Kansas
City and Cincinnati where the con-
certs were highly praised
The program in Kansas City was
given before $500 people in the
great Convention Hall during the
national music supervisors confer
ence.

l. All sets of springs are not bolted

small projection on the bottom Of
each spring leaf which fits into a
notch or depression on the top Of the
leaf beneath it. In a still newer plan,
a triple curve at the center of the

gine when the ignition is locked and
the key is lost is to run a wire from

3. The quickest and easiest way to
take squeaks out of springs is to
squirt over their ends or edges a little
penetrating lubricant. There are a
number of such oils on the market.
I. Some manufacturers caution
against lubricating springs, because

SAFETY COURSES

Traffic accidents involving children

This progress toward reducing street

States to follow the lead of their more
forward.looking neighbors.
"Ch;ldren can be reached with safety

very probably, will produce a relative

zone aspect of the safety instruction
in schools that seems TO be lost to

more than to walk safely That, of
course, is the chief objective of the
training given, but it has another
valuable end that inevitably is at

THAT end is safe driving. These
Youngsters will be the drivers of our
automobiles tomorrow. Their ac-
quaintance with the need for safety
and their familiarity with the simple
technique by which it is attained will
make them safer drivers than many
of the adults Of this era. who. in thou
sands of instances, seem to look upon
a reduction of traffic mishaps as some
thing that every one but themselves
should strive for continually.
There are tremendous strides to be
taken in safety education. The most
elemental and, paradoXically, the best
seems to be the one involving the
schoolroom. 1t is surprising that only
16 States have taken this first step"
