SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief Of Police.
DANGEROUS DRIVER

DANGEROUS DRIVER
AGE is 16 TO ~
The years between 16 and ~ seem
to be the dangerous age for automobile
drivers, a test conducted by recOg-
nized accident prevention organization
based on official records reveals.
Drivers between these ages were in
volved in more accidents than any
other age group.
This age group-16 to 22-includes
the high school college period, and
includes most of the students who
were graduated this spring.
Many young people drive cars dur
ing their last year or two of high
school, but most of htem do not take
over the wheel until after graduation
The time to make them good drivers
therefore. is before they are handed
diplomas.
Many high schools give courses In
good driving, and it would be flint
thing if such work were started In
Ely. After the restraints of high
school are thrown off, then the jOt
must be taken over by the parents
Before any father turns over the fam
ily car to his son or daughter, III
should be sure that his offspring il
not only a good driver but SAFE
driver.

MISS RICHTER
Continued From Page One)

at Cedar Rapids. Iowa.
She taught in the Ely junior high
school from 1921 to 1881 and from
then on to the date of her retirement
in the Washington building.
Miss Richter is an exemplary lady
whom it is pleasure to meet and
her friends are numbered by the list
of acquaintance made in her 81
years in this city and who are pleased
to learn that she will continue to
make her home here.
At a reception rendered her two
weeks ago, the Ely teachers voiced
their respect when they composed the
following in her honor:
Here she sits, sweet, calm, and serene,
Her hair piled high, the face of a
queen.
Her smile ever ready for strangers
and friends.
Her character shines forth and to
others sends
The beauty of living where all joy
depends
On the soul who knows kindness,
and Loyalty extends,
A faith in humanity, a trust that
ne'er ends.
For fifty years she held on high,
The torch of service in our sky.
She showed us how to meet our needs,
With daily tasks, and kindly deeds.
And with this inspiration true,
We've gathered here to honor you;
With sincereity and friendship deep,
And as token we hope you'll keep,
These little gifts we bring to you.
With our love and best wishes too.
