Pedestrian Shortcuts
Lead to Disasters

Crossing mid block, stepping
from between parked cars, cross
ing against traffic lights, general
lack Of observance in crossing
streets, all have taken a severe
toll of pedestrians, says Dwight
Ravens, President of the Nebr-
aska State Safety Council. The
records show that the pedestrian
is paying a very dear price in
trying to save the extra mom-
ents required to go to the regular
cross walks and waiting until it
is safe to proceed" Many Of us
do observe the regulations part
of the time says Mr.. Havens,
but once in a while feel that
time is sc pressing that we can
get away with a short cut. Act
ually, reports show that SIT
people last year found this to be
a serious fallacy and of these, As
paid the extreme penalty for
trying to take a short cut. What.
ever the need seems to BE- for
hurrying, it's never so pressing
that pedestrians should jeopardise
their life. AS pedestrians, Nebr.
askans are urged to cross at the
cross walks, safely"

a small group of self-seeking poll,

as it became definitely plain that
DR.. Charles H. Wesley, outgoing

1t was learned on good authority
that prospective students are be-
ing misled into believing that only
the State supported school will
become accredited by the North

gone so far as to make it appear
that even those students desir-

Choir to
Return to New

NEW YORK,-Wings Over Jor-
dan, the worlds greatest Negro
chior, will soon be returning to
the section where one of the most
interesting incidents of its amaz.
ing career occurred. The choir is
now on the West Coast and will
move into the Southwest in Sept
ember.
1t was in Kenneth, Nc. last year
that Wings Over Jordan expected
to sing an ordinary concert but
got a surprise. When requested to
do an afternoon concert in addi-
ton to the one scheduled for the
evening, Rev. Glynn T. Settle, dir
ector of the organization, readily
complied; such a request is not
unusual.
Shortly after three o'clock, a
school bus arrived loaded with
children. This was the beginning
of a mass influx of children of
all ages and descriptions. They
Kept arriving until the large audi
forum was filled to capacity.
Wings Over Jordan sang a con-
cert to one of the most enthusiast
tic audiences of its long career
At the conclusion of the con-
cert, Rev. Settle found that a.
mother crowd Of children had as
sembled, completely blocking the
street outside. Another concert
was given to full house.
1t was discovered later that
practically every child In the
county had attended the concert
performances through arrange.
ments made by the school board.
Evidently, judging from the re-
action and results, the children
were deeply impressed because it
was again necessary to do two
performances for the adults in
the evening.

on the spurious assumption that
such result is to be blamed on ex-
