Little More Courtesy
Among Drivers Asked By
Chief John Langston

''ThOse of us who commit these
and other sins are 'screwdrivers,' "
the chief continued, "and there is
no place for that kind of screWdriver
in as dangerous piece of machinery
as an automobile. On Friday we are
going to drive new, cream-colored
sound car up and down the main
streets of Henderson, and we are
going to tell everybody about the
screwdrivers over our loudspeaker,
and show them why they should
stop pulling traffic boners.
eve are going to try to persuade
the screWdriVers to remember their
good manners when they are driving
their cars, just as much as they do
at home or on foot.
"After all, the streets and high
ways belong to all of us. Let's share
the road with each other!'
The Courtesy Crusade has been
loaned to the police department by
the Shell oil dealers in Henderson,
as a part of nationwide "Share-the-
road" campaign.
During the same time as the sound
car is in Henderson, special Shell
puppet show is also going to be pre-
sented at a prominent location on
Garnett street to demonstrate the
evils of screWdriving.
The characters include two of the
most brainless types of screwdrivers,
a truckdriver, a snappy puppet
Fido the dog, and the policeman who
nearly goes "screwy" himself trying
to figure out the screwdrivers.
The puppets have their own NOV
able stage, built into a special bodied
truck. Performances, given every
half hour, will take place in front
of the post office between eleven
and five-thirty.
The puppet show is also being
brought here by the Henderson Shell
oil dealers.

The Henderson Police department
plans to declare war on the screw
drivers" next Friday, Chief Of
Police ]. H. Langston announced
to the Daily Dispatch today.
A "screwdriver" is a motorist who
pulls a "traffic boner" He refuses
to respect the rights of other motor
lists, and he goes gaily 0bout in a
parade of screaching brakes, bleat-
ing horns, double parking and wrong
turns, with no hand signals and no
regard for the fellow in the other
car.
If screwdriving can be eliminated,
Chief Langston estimates, traffic on
Garnet street and the other main
arteries can be speeded up as much
as 25 percent.
"What most Of us automobile
drivers in Henderson need is a little
more common courtesy, the chief
remarked. "Too often we fail to
respect the ordinary rights of our
fellow drivers.
eve double park and hold up traf-
fic for three blocks behind us, in
order to save ourselves the incon-
venience of walking a few extra
steps.
eve fail to share the road with
the faster car trying to pass us, be-
cause we don't bother to notice him,
or because we don't like anybody
else to pass us-even if we are in
no particular hurry and the other
fellow has logical reason for want
ing to get somewhere.
eve make right turns from the
center Of the road, and left turns
from the lane next to the sidewalk,
thus making other drivers cuss and
jam on their brakes
eve try to beat the lights, and
we try to edge our neighbor off the
road in an effort to get ahead of him
when the red light turns green.

Greeley Marker Is
Now at WarrentOn
Episcopal Church

A marker has been placed in from
of Emmanuel Episcopal church ir
Warrenton by the State Historical
Commission calling attention to thl
fact that Horace Greely, editor, pub
Usher and political leader, was mar
ried there July 5, 1886 to Miss Mary
Young Cheney.
The marker catches the eye OF
tourists who pass along Warrenton's
main street, and it has attracted nc
little attention since being placed.
There has been some comment
among Warrenton people over the
Historical Commissions spelling o1
the word Emmanuel" On the sign
the final ''e' does not appear, but ar
"a" is in its place.
Miss Cheney was teaching schoo
in Warrenton when she married Mr.
New York Tribune, and an ardent
supporter of the Union cause in the
Civil War, and an unsuccessful can
didate for President in 1872. He was
defeated by General U. S. Grant.
Mr.. Greeley's strong constitution
became impaired by excessive toi
and excitement. The loss of his wife
who was hopeless invalid for many
years, served to complete the fataI
work, and he died in Pleasantville
Westchester county, New York
November 20, 1872.
When living in Warrenton, Miss
Cheney taught in a school located
where the home of Mrs. Kearney
Williams now stands. She was board
ing in the home now owned by the
Howard F. Jones estate when Mr.
Greeley went to Warrenton and they
were married.
