Patrolman w. c.. Thomas urged
every one in Ashe county to join

when you are driving a car,
THINK" he cautioned. '"That's
the best way I know of to avoid
automobile accidents"
Since the enactment of law
in 1885 in this state, giving the
department of revenue the right
to establish division of highway
safety, there has been a reduction
of accident fatalities caused by
motor vehicles, he said.
1884 was the worst year for
accidents. In the nation around
$4,000 people were killed and
nearly 1000 lost their lives in au-
to wrecks in North Carolina,
while 5000 others in the state
were injured" he declared.
The establishment of the di-
vision of safety has resulted in a
reduction Of fatal accidents.
Every age is dangerous age
for drivers, but the greatest num-
Der of accidents are not caused
by young drivers, as it is usually
assumed, but by those who are
Is years old or Older" he ex-
planned.
Every month, every day, ev-
cry hour and every road is an
accident time and place."
In introducing the speaker, Ro-
tartan Bryan Oliver praised the
work that Patrolman Thomas is
doing in this section. "He is a
fair, conscientious, Woodworking
and efficient patrolman, who is
rendering a fine service to oul
section" Mr.. Oliver said.

POWER OF NATIONAL
LABOR BOARD UPHELD

Washington, Jan. 2.-Three un-
animous decisions of the Su-
preme court gave the labor board
a large measure of freedom
to order elections and certify
unions as collective bargaining
agencies without judicial inter-
ference.
Two decisions by Justice Stone
held that while the Wagner act
gives "any person aggrieved by a
final order of the board" the
right to a review in a federal
circuit court of appeals, this does
not apply to orders for elections
and certification rulings because
they are not "final' orders.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov 4.-Life

the University of Minnesota.
They didn't go to college just
to be cheer leaders but some
where along the line they decided
to help out the hard working
fellows who stir up sideline en-
couragemnet for the mighty
Golden GopherS.
So these three pretty little
girls-Phylis Brislih, Anna Mae
Harris and Mary Leahy-spent
all last summer polishing up their
capers. They learned to wheel,
whirl, leap and call for that
Great Big Locomotive.
They made life miserable for
the neighbors, doing their daily
routine before imaginary fam
packed stadia. They chanted the
old battle cry: 'M1I-N-N-E-
SOFIA, repeating three times
with the choo-choo effect at the
finish.

ROBERT BETHEL AND REV
ELS ENGAGED IN MOUNDS.
MEMS DUEL IN AFTER
PIECE

Robert Bethel. veteran pitcher
of the Key West ConchS, and
Revels, new mOundsman of the
.C.G.C. Pandora, engaged in a
pitchers battle yesterday after
noon in the afterpiece of a base
ball double on the East Martello
Tower grounds, new diamond for
the sport in Key West.
RevelS struck out II batters,
sending every Conch back to the
dugout with their bats on their
shoulders at least once, except
VIM. Gates and Jackie Carbonell.
He held the heavy-hitting Key
West nine to- three safetieS and
one run, which was scored in the
third inning.
Bethel famed eight men and
let the Coast Guardsmen down
with two bingles.
The lone marker of the game
carne in after one man was out.
ViIlareal singled to left, A. Ace
vedo poled one through the
pitchers box and Gates hit the
ball to third baseman, who fun
bled it, allowing the bases to be-
come drunk. Carbonell then hit
to shortstop, who threw home but
all runners were safe. c. Griffin
struck out and Hernandez went
out, pitcher to first.
After that not a Conch reached
first.
Only one Coast Guardsmen
reached third in the game. He
was Woodson. the first man up
in the opening frame. He doubled
and went to the hot corner on
bad ''throw-in" from left. RevelS'
single and four walks were the
only other runners to reach first
from that time on. No other
Guardsman except Woodson got
as far as second.

football team. 1t has been roaring
ever since to the tune of that
Great Big Locomotive.
But Phyllis, Anna Mae and
Mary haven't been on the side
lines to help things along. They
got sidetracked. The fondly
planned coed cheering crew was
shunted to a siding by university
chiefs who thought the men folks
were doing we'll enough. A SINH
lar ruling bans drum majorettes
at Minnesota.
Glum and disappointed, Phyllis,
who is Is and sophomore, says
hoarsely of the ruling: Its silly,
narrow-minded and prejudiced".
From Anna Mae: Il think it's
mean and unfair after we had
worked all summer.
And from Mary: Il just think
the boys couldn't stand the COM
petition.
The loss is terrific but the Gold
en- Gophers are doing right well
despite the handicap, bidding
again for national glory.
