URGES MOTORISTS TO
DRIVE CAREFULLY
rContinaed from "a paqfl


should be observed by the driver,
because the human element enters
into the one and the chance of me-
chanical imperfection into the other.
"The big problem, however, is not
the railroad grade crossing, al
though it furnishes the most spec
tacular accidents. The greatest dan
ger is at intersections, and only
complete control when approaching
such points will safeguard life and
property. Too much reliance should
not be placed in ability to stop
quickly. The condition of the road
surface often upsets the calcula-
lions even of expert drivers.
Courtesy and consideration are
important requisites for highway
safety. The road hog is a menace
second only to the arrogant cutter
in The driver who tries to beat
the traffic light is in the same cate
CORY as an accident breeder as the
operator who stops suddenly or
makes left turns without signaling
to the cars behind. The man who
speeds when every consideration of
safety calls for cautious driving is
a hazard sharing dubious honors
with the driver who passes another
car on a sharp curve.
eff Delaware is not to experience
in the coming summer a veritable
carnival of casualties, the driving
habits of many motorists must be
corrected. The law can reach some
of them, but by no means all. Self
alone should cause them to
handle with care this great product
of inventive genius that can so cas-
lily be turned into a weapon of de-

Milford School News
REPORTED BY THE FREsHMAN ENGLISH GLASS

Ernest wilkins of the third grade
: has given one of his story books to
the first grade for their bookshelf.
The girls of Miss Carriers section
of the fourth grade are planning to
cover glass jars and bottles with
colored paper and fancy Innings OF
envelopes for the purpose of max
ing flower vases. The boys have
been making kites during the last
week.
The fifth grade continues its imag-
mary trip, returning by way of the
picturesque Columbia River High
way. This part of the trip was writ
ten by Levin Latchum, Billy Bryant
and Arthur Levy.
The Columbia River Highway
One of the most beautiful side
trims that we had during our lmag-
mary travel lessons on the northern
= route was the one we took on the
ASolumbia River Highway. This high
Swav is the western end of the Old
oregon Trail, which follows the
route of Lewis and Clerk. This was
especially interesting to us because
we were studying about Lewis and
Clark in our history class. Ihls
highway is paved for over two nun
bred miles and is one of the World's
most wonderful highways. 1t follows
the south shore of the Columbia
River for sixty-four miles and goes
into the very heart of the natural
beauty OF the Great North West.
Following the shore of the river
the road dips and climbs. Sometimes
we were high on the mountain SIDES
sometimes we were clinging to
the face of the palisades. At one time
we passed through great wide OPEN
ings chiseled through solid rock and
it look like rock-framed pictures as
we viewed the beautiful scenery be-
y low us.
One of the most unusual sights for
lis along the highway was the Multi
nomah Falls that ascend the dizzy
heights of towering palisade in
two great leaps, surrounded by a
rainbow-tinted mist.
There were so many points of in
terest for us along this highway
that it will always be a lasting
memory, especially the beautiful
rose hedges and gardens that we
saw on every side of us while pass
ing through Oregon.
AS a last word we will say that 1t
was truly a rose country. 1t really
looked as though there were bou-
quets of roses for everyone every
where.
The following pupils of Mrs. Rus
sells section of the seventh grade
received 1000 in spelling test this
week: Alfred Davidson, Herman
Benson, Edward KINNEY, Wilbur
Simpson, Marietta Carey, Genevieve
Griffith, Beatrice Marvel, Florence
Levy, William Potter, Dorothy Witt.
Mary Kirby, Anna Passwaters, Will
lard Pierce and Wilma wilkins.
During the past week the old
school bell has been taken out OF
the belfry, and it was discovered by
a member of the Freshman class
that it has been cast one hundred
and twenty years. On it are the
words, George Hedderly Fecit, Phil
adelphia, 1909.

rance to the fullest. Mrs. Mary A.

They are a delight to Mrs. Nutter,

others.

in SEVENTH TODAY

in Congressional Race

People of Renville county and the
balance of the seventh congressional
district are called upon today to
elect a representative in Congress at
a special election to fill the unexpired
term of the late o. j. Kvale. The
withdrawal of three Republican cam

private secretary in Washington.
Mr.. Kvale was endorsed for the Of
flee of his father by the Farmer
Labor group, of which the senior Mr..

Mr.. Morrison is editor and pub
Usher of the Morris Tribune, one of
