no control over the weather, cannot
stop the rain and cannot work the
roads when they are muddy.
"The excessive rains in the fall, and
especially for the past four or five
weeks, have done as much, if not
more damage to the roads than the
snow and cold weather last winter"
Griffin said. 1.-THE roads have become
worse and worse, largely as the re-
suit of the heavily loaded school buses
going over them day after day and
cutting the ruts deeper and deeper.
"This has also caused excessive
wear and tear on the buses, with the
result that in many counties clutches
and brakes have worn out or burned
out faster than the school bus me-
chanics could replace them. Many
broken axles and stripped gears have
also resulted from the hard pulling on
the bad roads.
1.-THE result has been that the money
set up for normal repairs under nor
NAL conditions has not been sufficient
neither have we had enough buses
with which to replace those which
have broken down. This was the trou-
bic in Forsyth county-there were not
enough mechanics to take care Of the
repairs needed day after day, and
there were not any extra buses to
replace those taken out of service for
repairs. But we have worked out the
situation there satisfactorily to all
concerned now"

Dear Noble men of our great state,
Study so we'll our vital fate.
Heed not the lust of liquors lure,
But follow ways so true and pure;
Make Laws to build a noble home,
Not those that cause children to

Heed not the lobbyists hungry maws,
But pass the safe and helpful laws,
Plan well the way for children dear,
Keep them from liquor, wine and beer
Leading them in a safer way
Toward a brighter coming day,
When they must brave take the task
That bravest ones would never ask!
Be true! Be true in what you do
Then better days will come to you!

Spring Fever

Do you tire more quickly than usual? Does the
beginning of the day find you almost as listless as the
end OF the preceding one? Do the challenges of your
daily work lose their interest? Do the usual pleasures
you enjoy become mere boredom?
If you register these and other similar symptoms
you are but one of thousands who at this time of the
year suffer what is commonly termed Spring fever
And when we tell you that, don't scott and say that
spring fever is only a condition of the imagination,
because latest information tells us that spring fever
is very real though, in truth, it is not a fever.
1t isn't a fever. nor is it lazness; you feel tired
not because you lack energy but because you have
too much accumulated energy; you don't need ton
les for spring fever-your blood does not need
'thinning'-and you don't need more rest; you do
need more exercise and a quick change of diet.
Insurance companies employ numberless Stats
Iicians to compile complicated tabulations of figures
on the varied causes and conditions of life and death,
but sometimes those fact ~jugglers turn their attention
to more lively subjects. From one such company we
recently received a bulletin of some good advice for
spring fever sufferers.
In the first place, the sluggish feeling comes
from the fact that the body is loaded up with a store
of heavy energy-producing food elements such as are
necessary to meet the rigors of winter. When mild
weather comes, then, the body is like an automobile
trying to operate in warm weather on a rich winter
mixture.
Usually the individual continues for several
weeks to eat as he did in winter. loading up the sys-
TEN with heat and energy producing foods and pro-
longing the clogged condition that induces the 'let
down" feeling commonly known as spring fever.
1t is evident, then, that the blood does not need
thinning and that most so-called spring tonics have
little beneficial effects. The remedy is, instead, a
change to warm weather diet-more salads. fruits
and vegetables, less starches, fats and proteins-to-
gether with exercise to burn up the surplus of body
energy.
In other words, if spring fever is upon you reach
for the salad bowl, not the medicine bottle; get out
and hit the golf ball a few, don't so home to "hit the
hay"

Death Comes to New London

The appalling disaster in the school at New Lon
don, Texas, in which hundreds of students persisted
when an explosion. followed by fire. destroyed a new
81 .O00. zoe buildins. should bring to public attention
an old and grave roblem-protection for school chill
dren.
Regardless of the cause of this cataclysm. it en-
phasises the fact that thousands of schools through
out the nation. including some which are supposedly
model plants. contain hazards that may-any day,
any minute-resulti in disasters equally great.
1t may seem unbelievable. but schools still exist
in which The doors open inward. If fire broke out,
panic-stricken children would pack against these
doors. making il impossible to open them. And when
the flames were eNtinguished, blackened. unrecogniz-
able bodies would be found.
In other schools fire escapes are inadequate, or
are difficult to reach. In others, heating plants are of
poor construction or are in bad repair. In others,
stairwaYs are narrow and are so designed and situat-
ed that a fire breaking out on a lower story would i'm
mediately roar up the stair wells, fed by drafts, MAX
ing it impossible for children on upper stories to es-
cape. They wouldn't even have a fighting chance for
life.
Yes. literally thousands of schools contain haz-
ards such as these. Experts from fire preventative or
CARNATIONS have often inspected relatively new school
buildings-and found. to the establishment of the
proud board of trustees. that they teemed with haz-
ards. any one of which could cause disaster and
wholesale death.
Whatever the cause of the New London disaster,
it should make the people think-and their thinking
should force expert inspection of every school in
America, and the elimination of any hazards found.
