A(ti0n On Safety
OF School Students
PoFents File Complaints
On Loxity Of 0fficoIs
And Careless Students

The strong arm of the law, the
village council, came into its own
when it met in special session
Monday night to deal with the
many complaints being regis
tered at city hall because of the
lack of protection for the young
sters crossing USR q, near the
grade school building, North
street.
Since the commencing of the
current school term, public of
ficials have been harassed with
constant complaints, demanding
that better protection be given
the school children, when it be-
came very evident that many
motorists were disregarding the
caution signs and traffic lights
in the vicinity of the school area.
This situation became apparent
when the mayor temporarily
stationed police on duty with the
startling results that five mot
orists were arrested for traffic
violations.
Efforts by Mayor Homer John
son to provide full time police
protection at the grade school
during the noon and afternoon
recess periods failed when his
orders were ignored. Apparently

Water Shortage Hits
Dexier City Schools
Measures Taken To
Increase Supply

Three potential water supplies
all ''flunked out" at Dexter City
school and as a result the school
closed down operations for just
one day.
Last Friday, School Principal
Willis Ogle had to call a halt to
activities when it was discovered
that an adequate and safe water
supply was no longer available
for all practical purposes.
Plans were made, however,
Friday, to get the systems back
into operation in order that
school could resume its normal
functions, beginning Monday
morning. To do this, supply of
water was hauled in from Mar
ietta by Broughton's and dumped
into the drinking system, this
being the most important for
safety purposes,
In the meantime, a new water
line is being laid by Dack Blake
of Caldwell, TO a nearby supply
which will serve as an emer-
gency. This source was origin
ally used as a supply and when
the lines deteriorated beyond
use it was discontinued.
With normal rainfall, the
drinking system and ciStern sup
ply all the water necessary for
the school.

the death of Foreman, which
resulted in an argument in
Richards Cafe, Belle Valley,
Sunday afternoon, between 200

1t is alleged that the argument
started when the victim, John

His refusal meeting with little
results, Cobb, it is stated, struck

charge, late Monday morning.

Five Nahbed For
Traffic Violations
Mayor Johnson Toking
Steps To Curb Practice

In an effort to curb the many
violations, which reflect little
regard for the safety of school
children, Mayor Homer Johnson,
with the cooperation of Police
Officer Jack Oliver, began to
crack down on would-be poten-
tial highway killers.
Placing an officer on duty at
the traffic light, corner of North
and Walnut streets, resulted in
the apprehension of five traffic
violators the first day. They all
were guilty of crashing a traffic
light, erected for the safety of
school children moving across
USR Il at the grade school
building.
Those fined by Mayor Johnson
were: Robert Green, of ParkerS-
burg, w. Va, $500 and costs;
Dale Milligan, of Caldwell route,
$500 and costs; Wayne Miller,
of Caldwell route, $500 and
costs; B. w. Thorpe, of Paines-
vile, $500 and costs; John Mar
low, of Charleston, w. Va, $500
and costs.
Officer Oliver stated today
that he has in his possession a
list of license numbers submitted
to him by the school patrol. 1t
is the intent of this paper to
publish the license number and
names of all violators.
Realizing the limited number
of places that an officer can
patrol at one time, special
deputies are being considered
for temporary duty in order to
break up this practice of show
ing no regard for the safety of
school children and pedestrians.
