"ROAD MANNERS"
FOR CHILDREN

Too many parents allow their
children to roam the highways
without ever trying to teach them
any rules for safety, either for
themselves or for the others who
are entitled to the use of the roads.
This issue of the Skyland Post
carries an article reporting the
death of one man, the serious in
Jury of several more and the
wrecking of a truck-all the result
of a child's running out on the high
way, causing the driver of the truck
to either hit the child broadsided or
endanger the life andlimbs of 9TH
ers in an effort to dodge him. Had
the child been taught the danger OF
running across roads before looking
in both directions, he might be well
and a life could have been saved,
for the child was struck in the driv-
er's unsuccessful attempt to miss
him.
During the recent heavy snow, a
car was seen going down a steep
hill where it was impossible to ap-
ply breaks without an accident,
when a number of children on sleds
ran out into the road and began to
use it as slide, directly in front of
the car, depending on the helpless
driver to go around them. The car
was ditched but fortunately no one
was hurt. The accident was that all
of them were not killed.
Nor is it only in bad weather that
children run in front of cars. Some
children seem to think that it is a
year-round sport to deliberately
make drivers get off roads to keep
from killing them.
Children are not born wise and
only made so by the training they
have. Parents can avoid trouble and
even loss of life by teaching their
children early in life that highways
are for the use of the public, but
not for the use of showing off how
close they may come to running in
front of a car and missing it.

Andrew Jackson Born
In South Carolina

York, S. c., Feb. 19.-WPA work.
ers on old records in the office of
the clerk of court here stared in
amazement when one of their num-
Der announced a startling discovery
documentary evidence concerning
the birthplace of Andrew Jackson,
the one and only "Old Hickory"
Their excitement mounted higher
when the discoverer announced
that Andrew was born in South
Carolina, and not only that, but in
historic old Bethel township, York
county!
It sounded like joyful tidings for
South Carolina and melancholy
news for the realm of Tarheelia.
"The proof is all here" announc-
ed the young lady making the find,
"and it cannot be disputed. It gives
all the necessary information-the
place of birth, the date and the
names of Jackson's parents. This
will settle century-old controver-
sy and restore peace between the
Carolinas."
By this time, fellow workers of
the young woman making the dis
covery crowded around her. Look
ing over her shoulders, they eagerly
inspected the faded manuscript.
And then, one by one, they quietly
resumed their work.
The Andrew Jackson born in
Bethel township long years ago was
a colored baby.

The Senate followed the House in
a sharpe and decisive action which
extended existing neutrality laws to
May l, 1887. Until that date, the
President will retain power in de-
claring e-h5argoes. Arms and am
munition are under the ban, but not
such commodities as copper, oil,
cotton, and the like. Warning ma
lions cannot float loans in this coun-
try, Pan-American republics are
given a little more leeway than the
rest of the world, but even they are
subject to limitations and will have
to watch their step. The act falls
short of being a drastic anti-war
move, but as member of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee
remarked, neutrality legislation is
a new concept, likely to be expand
ed in the future but at present to
be handled with care and made the
subject of research and study.
