r. O. Andrews Of Motor
Club Is Here To Pro-

R. o. Andrews, representing
the Carolinas Motor club, is IN
Hendersonville for a stay of sew
eral weeks.
Mr. Andrews is business repre-
sentative of the club, but also is
interested in promoting the clubs
safety campaign. This is being ex-
tended to the children in the
schools and the work that has
been done in the elementary
schools has been productive Of
good results. The work is now be-
ing extended to the high schools
of both of the Carolinas.
It has been found that while
the number of highway deaths
and accidents to children of the
lower grades has been reduced,
this is not the case with the pu-
pills of the high schools and 1t Is
for this reason that the club has
inaugurated an intensive cam
paign to reach the children of the
upper grades.
Among the methods of conduct
ing the campaign, Mr.. Andrews
said, an automobile, with loud
speakers attached, is being used
for the dissemination of safety
messages, and will make a COM
plete tour of the two Carolinas
in this effort. .,
Mr.. Andrews is stopping with
his sister, Mrs. E. N. Joiner, 734

of an acute, statewide fuel short
age, huddled last night around
the feeble warmth of kitchen gas
stoves or retired early to con-
serve rapidly diminishing supplies.
Coal yards in most cities were
stripped of fuel yesterday after
week of paralyzing cold wealth
er which plunged the mercury to
the lowest levels in rs years.
Widespread human suffering
will result in another 48 hours
unless the bitter cold wave is
broken, fuel dealers said. Empty
coal bins cannot be filled fol-
from three days to a week.
The situation was studied by
Governor Clyde, L. Herring, to
whom Iowa coal dealers appealed
for a proclamation calling upor
Iowa miners, as patriotic duty
to work Saturdays and overtime
in an effort to balance produc'
ton and demand. ~
Deliveries, already behind de-
mand, were further delayed, the
coal operators said, by refusal OF
Iowa miners to work last Satur,
day. under federal rulings estab'
fishing a 35-hour week for min
ers.
In Bedford, Ia, every available
pound of fuel had been exhaust.

reported without fuel, while the
mercury stood at % degrees be-
low zero. Dealers would promise
no deliveries before next week

ford yards were pro-rated early
yesterday-5OO pounds to each Of
the first few families whose names
appeared on long list of unfill'

"Coal yards throughout the
