{. H. Primer Stresses Importance
Ut Students Attending School

perhaps the most important
factor in doing successful school
work is that of regular or consist
ent attendance" said c. H. Pin
ner, principal of Tabor CITY
Schools today in an interview on
school attendance records.
Primer stated that this factor is
the one on which legislators based
their vote when the compulsory
attendance law was enacted. The
law is one which has not been en-
forced too rigidly until very re-

Primer has appeared at different
times before the various Civic
Clubs concerning the responsibility
OF places of business in helping TO
eliminate truancy from school. Oc-
casionally some response has been
given the situation said Primer.
Recently the Merchants Asso-
citation of Whiteville requested all
merchants to report to the school
authorities any cases where young

Mayor Warns
Children
OF Air Rifles

Il want to pass out this warn
ing to parents OF local children
who are persisting in firing air
rifles and % calibre rifles inside
the city limits in direct violation
of existing city ordinances" May
or w. Horace Carter sad today.
Within the past week, l have
had several citizens complain
about the reckless manner in
which firearms were being shot
in Tabor City. I feel that parents
should be aware that this is illegal
but in case they do not know il,
this is notification that the police
men have been instructed to ar
rest all persons guilty of this Of
Tense. Those under l6 years will
be sent to juvenile court in
Whitevillc and fines will be i'm
posed upon the parents. This
shooting is dangerous and already
several reports of property DAM
age have been heard" the Mayor
said.
And for the last time. want
to point out that those youngsters
who are still riding bicycles on
the sidewalks of the business dis
triCt are breaking the law. Bicycles
are subject to the same traffic
laws as automobiles and they can
not be ridden on city sidewalks
III the business district. Accidents
between pedestrians and bicycle
riders have narrowly been avoided
several times. Policemen have
been instructed to stop this riding
on the sidewalk and parents and
persons doing this riding have had
ample warning to stop the prac-
tice," Carter said.

Rat Program Being Conducted
Here Today By Officials

A crew of workmen will be here
today wednesday, with a pro-
gram to reduce the infeStation of
rats j. NJ. SaulS, County Sanitar-
ian officer announced.
'Workmen will call on each
home with the poison and we do
insist and encourage that every
home in Tabor City take a small
quantity whether the home is in
tested or not" Sauls said.
The home program will be
worked only once Sauls pointed
out; however, traps will be set in
certain places around town. More
poison will be available at the
town office after the first program
and local citizens are urged to ask
for another supply if the rat in
Hesitation reoccurs.
The poison is not deadly unless
consumed in great quantities and
there is an antidote for the poison.
The element of danger to individ-
uals or pets is practically nil:
however, the effectiveness of the
poison on rats is very high.
The program was adopted Inv
the Town Board at a recent meet
ing when j. *. Thomas. represent
alive for the North Carolina State
Board of Health met with local
officials and explained the project
The Board urges all citizens in
Tabor City TO cooperate in the pro-
gram in order to eliminate anv
health problems created by rats.
1T is no reflection on anv in
dlvidual when they permit the
placement Of this poison in their
homes said Thomas. 1t is a safe
ty measure. If someone refuses TO
allow placement of the traps in
their homes there is nothing we
can do about it; however, if there
is poison in nearby home there
will be tendency to drive the rats
elsewhere and the home without
the trap will be the likely place
for them to 60"

GIVE YOUR OLD SHOES
TO A WORTHY CAUSE

Give your old shoes to the
Faith Memorial School was
the theme Of the plea made
by Rev. Claude M. Holbert, Of
Myrtle Beach, who recently
visited the school at Pawley's
Island and saw the tremend-
Gus need among the school
children.
The Faith Memorial School
Is operated for Negro boys and
girls Of all ages and denomina-
lions. The Rev. w. E. Forsythe
and his energetic and capable
wife have conducted school
for many years and now have
over 120 students.
Many Of the children have TO
walk TO school which constitutes
walking several miles during
the winter without adequate
clothing such as the situation
stands at The present time. The
emphasis at the present time Is
on shoes which many Of the
children are In great need Of
Immediately.
Rev. Hobart expresses his
keen desire that everyone will
be generous enough TO help out
In this most worthy call.
Take q good look around the
house and see II a discarded
pair Of shoes could be your con-
tribution. n so, bring them TO
the office Of the Tabor City Tri-
bune, Conway Field office, or
the Myrtle Beach Sun where
Nv. Hebert will pick them up
