Safety Urged
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel

Raleigh, Sept. 13.-FirSt school
bus accident to be reported to the
highway safety division this year
brought from Director Ronald Ho-
cutt an appeal to make the coming
scholastic year the best on record
from highway safety standpoint
Hocutt advised organization of
school boy patrols, advocated bus
patrols to help drivers maintain or
der and appealed to all motorists
generally to exercise especial care
and caution Wnen in the vicinity of
schools or when approaching school
buses on the roads.
"The opening of schools and col
1eges throughout the state should be
the occasion for increased caution on
the part of every motorist and pc
destrian", he said 81 am hoping that
through the cooperation of all con-
cerned we may have the best safety
record yet.
''Many of our schools have school
boy patrols to assist in handling the
children safely in and about the
the schools. They have proven un-
usually 0lllC1c11C, dIlO IL 1S OUI 1lOPC
that every school in the state will
have such patrol.
'Likewise, where children are
transported on buses, an increasing
number of principals are finding it
beneficial to form school bus patrols,
to help the driver in loading and un-
loading and in keeping order on the
busses.
principals, teachers and parents
should impress upon the children, in
addition, that there is greatest danger
between the time schools break up
in the afternoon and darkness. The
lessons of safety should go with the
child through every hour of each
days "a.
"In the case of school buses, the
law requires every vehicle to be
brought to a full stop during load
ing and unloading and until the bus
is in motion again.
"With the help of children, par
ents and drivers we can make the
coming school months the safes1
ever"

ing total of about 1915 a month

work during the past year.
According to Mrs. White, an in
creasing number Of young people in
this county will be given an op-

RIPLEY INQUIRIES
ABOUT COLA DRINKS

S. J. Lane, manager of the Lane
Nehi Bottling Co., bottlers of Royal
Crown, today received letter from
Robert L. Ripley of ''Believe-It-Or-
Not fame, in which Mr.. Ripley in
quired as to how many different
cola drinks are sold in Henderson
and whether the sales have been
gaining.
'The subject of cola has become
one of keen interest to me-, said
Mr. Ripley. "In my travels in Af-
rica, 1 found the cola-nut to be
one of the oddest products of Moth
er Nature. It is almost wOrshiped
there. It plays a symbolic part in
native marriages, and when a child
is born, a cola-nut tree is planted
with the idea that from it will
come the wherewithal to take care
of him when he grows up"
"And now, writes Mr.. Ripley,
Il am interested in the amazing up
trend in Americas preference for
cola drinks. That is why I, am
making this survey and why I ask
you how many cola drinks, besides
your own Royal Crown, are now
regularly on sale in Henderson"
Mr.. Lanes reply to Mr.. Ripley
stated that five different cola
drinks are on sale here and that
he estimates the local sale of cola
drinks to be fifty percent greater
now than five years ago.

were quite all right-legal and ac-
cording to Hoyle in every respect
But they appear to have been hush
ed up. Maybe that was not the in
tentiOn. Probably the administration
believed that what it was encourag-
ing was all o. k, requiring no pub
lcity. But it didn't need to hush
hush it either-gi giving an impression
that it was something clandestine.
In brief, the administration is
"smarty".
What it is doing appears to be all
right, but it does it in a fashion to
arouse suspicious.
Conflicting Stories.
For one thing, departmental tes-
timOnies conflict.
The State Department ought to be
the essential source of information
concerning Uncle SamuePs foreign
relationships.
Instead it has had hardly word
to say relative to them. Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau has been
the chief witness before congress-
iOnal committees. War Department
officials have testified that no mil
itary secrets have been disclosed to
foreign Investigators = except Ooh
yesD some have been disclosed.
Ditto navy departmental officials.
On the Level.
If the public had been told, on the
level, what is going on, undoubtedly
there would not be so much con-
fusion.
The trouble is that the administra-
ton does not think the public has
sense enough to be trusted with
much information
So let the President come back
from the Caribbean.

mise. But it will not do any damage.
