sonable rate. Won't you give your
children chance TO attend? Don't
forget - Feb. Is is the day.
Polio shots are given FREE

you by Miss Paula Williams, ply
seal education teacher some time
ago? These things are important.
We know that you have a great
deal to do each day and time goes
by quickly, but the,le are our
children. Can you deny them this
chance to safeguard against this
terrible, cri2pling disease? If you
don't have time to take him to
the clinic, then carry him TO your
private physician where for a
small fee you can protect his little
limbs. Won't you take care OF
this small detail Today Please!

INTOXICATED DRIVER IS
CONSIDERED MOST
DANGEROUS MENACE

Raleigh.-"An intoxicated driver
lacks moral responsibility-one of
the most important factors in the
prevention of traffic accidents -
Highway Patrol Major w. B. Lentz
said this week.
The patrol executive, who is in
charge of the transportation and
communications division, wa S
speaking in behalf of the spring
Back the Attack on Traffic Acct
dents campaign in which moral re-
sponsibility is the keynote.
"The person who has Esew
drinks under his belt is in no posi-
ton to Judge his own driving
ability" Major Lentz said. with
some people there is even some
sort of irrational pride in their
attempts to drive after drinking.
They may admit that their speech
is blurred and their eyesight fuzzy,
but that their driving is dangerous
never!
Every driver on the road has a
certain moral responsibility for
the safety of Others" the major
said. Sand it should become part
of a self training program being
encouraged among drivers all over
the nation this year by the Nation
al Safety Council and cooperating
agencies"
Major Lentz cautioned motorists
that this moral responsibility is
often forgotten by the driver who
has been drinking.
Morality cannot be put on and
taken off at will like an accessory
on a late model car" he said.
(Which means simply that if you
are going to drive, don't drink"
Major Lentz said the driver who
fails to safeguard his own or the
other persons life in traffic is re-
vealing poor character, no sense of
moral responsibility,
"If there is a heed for a moral
code anywhere today, that need is
in traffic." he said. "The spectacle
of 1908 traffic deaths and 10000
injuries in North Carolina last year
is dramatic proof of this"
Major. Lentz urged all drivers to

EMPLOYING CHILDREN
SUBJECT TO REGULATION

Raleigh. - The $1.OO minimum
wage and overtime requirements of
the Federal Fair Labor Standards
Act do not apply to workers In
agriculture, but the employment Of
children ander 18 years of age in
farm work during local school
hours is specifically prohibited,
State Labor Commissioner Frank
Crane said today.
"The Fair Labor Standards Act
makes it illegal to employ children
under 16 years of age in agricul-
tural work during the hours the
school for the district where the
children are currently living is in
session." Commissioner Crane ex-
planned. "This provision does not
apply, however, to the farmers
own children working on their par.
ents' farm or to children working
for farmer selling to dealers who
market exclusively within the
same state"
During fiscal 1856, Wage-Houl
investigators found 4,285 children
under 16 illegally employed on L.
910 farms in 40 states while schoo
was in session." Mr.. Crane said
"That means 4,285 specific viola
tons of federal law by the farm
ers involved. Almost half of thes'
children were only 10 to 10 year!

BY Rev. Robert w. Turner
.'Sting-Ray" People

Some folks, perhaps most of us
have few of the characteristic
of the Sting Ray: We stay around
on the bottom minding our owl
business until some unwary foot i:
placed squarely on our "pet peeve'
then we let go with the stingel
and put the offender in his proper
place.
The Sting Ray is made that way
and fishermen treat them with
great respect; when caught in nets
or on lines, the stringer is care.

before the creature is tossed back
into the sea. No doubt, fishermen
often wonder just why Almighty
God made such creatures to in
habit the deep and l would be in.
terested to know what answer you
might give to the fisherman who
asks this question. Send your ans
wer to me in care of this news
paper.
However, let's get back to peo-
pie: one of the "stingers" human
beings use against each other, as
a protective device, is SANDER or
malicious gossip. In this way,
words are used as a means to de-
stroy, in the minds of all who will
listen, the character of the person
whom we dislike. This may be our
way of getting even" for being
stepped upon, For example, people
who think they are humble may
accuse others Of being filled with
the devil" or pride, not stopping
to think that this fills tl.em with
Tie pride of thinking themselves
more humble than the enemy"
1t is interesting that very few
human "slingers Of stingery' want
to be that way and are usually
sorry when, they find that the
sting has stung. 1t helps If we re-
member that the place to take our
complaints about others is not to
friends and neighbors, but to the
Lord, Who Alone is the Righteous
Judge. BY doing this, we allow
Him the opportunity to remove
our stringer as well as the other
fellows, thereby restoring peace,
which is the Fruit of Righteous
ness. to the human family of which
we are members. It might just be
that Almighty God desires US to
be "Removers of Singers" instead
of "minding little stings and giving
them"
Surely, the Lord is always re-
Winding the members of His
Church that they are called to live
together in unity, not as sting rays,
lying in wait for each other; but as
children of a Good and Merciful
Father, ready to lend a helping
hand, not a singer!
