QUESTION: We would like to-
know how to prepare our enameled
walls before installing steel tile.
Can you inform us?
ANSWER: Wash the walls with
a fairly strong solution of tri--
sodium phosphate, about a cupful
in a pail of water. Rinse well with
clear water and allow to dry thor
oughly. Dull any remaining gloss
by rubbing with fine sandpaper;
then wipe off the dust. Spread a
putty-like cement, which comes
with the tile, over the wall and
apply the tile. The method of ap-
plication is described in a 1eaflet
which comes with each shipment
of tile.

Police Chief T. J. Davis told
a Central School Parent-Teach-
er study group here that safety
is a full-time thing which all pa
rents of school-age children
should keep before them.
He told his audience he pre-
ferred talking to a group of pa
rents rather than to children be-
cause he believed better results
can be obtained from home in
struction on safety than can be
gotten from law enforcement.
Chief Davis said parents ought
to get children out of bed early
enough in the morning SO that
they do not have to run and hur-
ry to get to school in time. He
said recently he was driving
just before school one morning
when a small child ran directly
in front of his automobile with
out looking to see where she was
going. He cautioned mothers to
warn children against running a.
cross streets, but advised them
to walk across instead so they
can see where they are going
and so they will not fall down
in front of traffic.
The chief said, "a child
should not be dressed and set
outside the door, told to be care
full and nothing more. Children
should be advised the best route
to take in going to school, eau
toned about street corners and
advised not 10 cross a street in
the middle of the block. If it
is raining, they should be told
to hold an umbrella so they can
see traffic instead of merely

He pointed out that bicycle
riding is especially dangerous if
the child does not know he is
supposed to stay in the street,
in the same lane as automobiles
and abide by the same traffic
regulations. He illustrated with
case recently investigated
here in Roanoke Rapids in which
a child was riding a bicycle on
the sidewalk in the business dis
trict of town against the law and
who ran into lady with an
armload of groceries, both of
them falling through a plate
glass window. He said bicycle
riders have no business crossing
a street Immediately in front of
cars stopped for traffic light.
He said carelessness is a ma
jor cause of traffic accidents,
citing the recent death of man
on a motor bike killed by truck
in the city. He pointed out that
North Carolina last year had
more traffic accidents than any
state in the Union except Cali
fornia and said carelessness fl
cured in many of them.
He said locally since police
have been pointing. up safety a.
mong the school children the &C
ciden rate in Roanoke Rapids
has dropped from II accidents
and one death last year to only
two accidents this year. He said
the safety routing of cars in
school areas and the increase of
traffic signals will be made to
increase safety even more.

concern is the rapid and salts
factory completion of the six
miles Of paving now being done
by the F. D. Cline Construc-
ton Company.
It was pointed out that some
streets have been left in an
impossible condition after grad
ing, and Royster promised to
have top soil spread on streets
as soon as grading is done.
When he was asked why a
number of streets had been cut
UP entirely for the installation
of curbinb and cutters, Register
said, II don't know why it hap
pened. It was done before I was
sent on this job and I've been
busy trying to get the streets
in condition because of that
very thing"
Register told the Commission
ers he estimated the entire job
could be nearly completed in so
to 90 days if the weather gives
US any kind of a break" He
said because of wet spots in the
west side of the city where paw
ing has already been started a
lot of the work has been de-
layed, and said it may be that
some paving is done on the west
side before the east side is en-
tirely finished.
Register and Dean told Board
members they expect to get new
equipment on the job and said
there will be no more cases OF
pulling out equipment already
