High School
Reopens.And
30 Are Out
Only Third as Many
as Monday, w h e n
Glasses Suspended
Two Days; No Other
Schools Have Closed

After being closed for two days,
the Henderson high schooi resuInoo
active class work today, with only
about 80 students absent. The school
closed Monday morning shortly after
the opening for the day because SO
many students were absent with Ill
ness.
The illness was caused, for the
most part, by cases of influenza or
co DIS.
The closing was orde ed BECAUSE
the great number of ab-enceS was
threatening to cut out one teacher
next year on the basis of actual at
tendance of students. Inc gh
school has an enrolment jus, under
500, and on Mond y morning 10Y stu
dents were absent from classes.
Of course, the two days lost now
will have to be made up at the end OF
the term in May.
No other schools in either the city
or the county were confronted with
SO large an absentee list, and none of
them osed. There were reports in
some instances, however, of rather
heavy absentee records with q student
now and then being Sent nome from
school with influenza.

Mavor Warns OF Arrests
For Crowding Of Fiiremen

Mayor Henry T. Powell issued an
other statement today calling atten-
ton of the pubic to the city ordinance
against following or parking too close
to the fire trucks on occasions OF
fires, and threatening arrests of those
who persist in ignoring the law. His
full statement follows
Il desire to appeal to the citizens
of the City of Henderson to observe
a few simple rules in regard to going
to fires and following the fire truck.
1 am sure that the people who were
guilty of infractions of the law in this
connection did so through thoughtless-
ness and without any intent to impede
the firemen, but they are seriously
impairing the efficiency Of the depart
mcnt and arc cndangering the lives
and property of innocent people.
'The law distinctly says that when
the siren is blown those on the street
up which the fire truck and firemen
are proceeding shall pull over to the
right side of the street and stop and
remain standing until the truck has
passed distance of one black. This
law is flagr 'ntly disobeyed. in fact

ut recent fires cars have not only { Ill.
ed to stop but have been so operated
as to refuse to allow the truck to pass
them at Ill.
another violation of the law is tn It
at no time is ?ny one other than i
fireman allowed to be closer than ore
block to the fire truck. and there is
a reason for this law. 1t will save the
firemen at least five minutes in PCT
ting their hose connected to drive
the truck to the fire, drop off the hose
and return to the hydrant with The
truck rather than stop at the hydrant
and pull the heavy hose to the fire
by hand from the hydrant. And when
people rush in with their cars behind
the truck, traffic jams frequently
ensue which seriously impede the fire
men in getting the truck back to the
hydrant. And unless this practice is
stopped, some day it will be the cause
of a disastrous fire.
This is called to your attention
with the hope that you will not make
it necessary to make arrests to stop
his practice. But in the future, the
police will have definite instructions
TO arrest all persons failing to pull to
the extreme right and stop at the
sound of the siren, and all car opera
tors at fire or following the truck
closer than one block will be imme-
diately arrested. This is being done
to protect your property and your life
and I trust no further warning will
be necessary

Mr.. Sparks Dead.P an
Won't Be Insured

Stories have emanated from Paris,
as well as Hollywood, from time to
time, of actresses insuring their legs
Now comes one from the Paramount
studio that Ned Sparks, the sour
guy of the screen who is currently
working with Bing Crosby in The
Star Maker recently applied to
Lloyd's of London for $4,000 in
surance policy whereby he would
collect if at any time he was caught
or photographed while smiling.
Since filing the application the
studio says Ned has received a jolt
which has convinced him he would
be wasting money on such a policy
He got word that the Income Tax
Bureau will not permit him to de-
duct several thousand dollars he
spent on a set of false teeth. Says
the studio:
"Ned's sour face is his stock in
trade, and he has never been known
to smile. but now he figures he won't
need the insurance"
