Clary Clothing Co. “Newberry** Oldest Exclusive Men’s Store” NEW SAFETY SYSTEM J. H. Bovi ers and Maffett Fant, representing the board of trus tees of Silverstreet school, an nounced Wednesday that a new safety system for school buses will be put into effect immed iately for a thirty day trial. This announcement was made at the conclusion of a hearing held in the office of Magistrate Lonnie K Graham Wednesday morning, when six persons, ac cused of violating the state law by passing a school bus which was stopped to discharge child ren, were summoned before the magistrate. All cases were nol pressed, be cause positive identification of the drivers was not obtainable. The plan adopted by the trus tees of Silverstreet school re quires that when a school bus stops to discharge passengers, the driver will shut off the mo tor of the bus, get out of the bus before the children, and stop any traffic on the road before al lowing the children to cross. He will make a notation of the license number, descriptibn of car, and description of driver, if possible, of any car which re fuses to stop on bus signal or signal of bus driver. When a bus approaches a rail road track, the driver will bring the bus to a full stop. One of the larger boys on the bus will be requested to stand beside the railroad track to obtain a clear vision, and will remain outside until the bus is safely across the tracks. County officials expressed a desire that trustees of other schools in the county follow the same procedure, to further eli minate traffic hazards involving school buses.

Wertz Music & t Appliance Co. “There’s Rhythm In That There Store” , J. OU not only owe this bill, but you’re paying it. That’s what fire costs our forests, every year. Sometimes, the loss has totalled over $100,000,000, and many lives, too. The bill goes into the cost of things we all use. We—meaning all of us—ought to pay for it, because we cause most of it. Nine out of 10 fires may be traced to man. Careless smokers alone cause one out of four. Tree farmers, seeking to grow forests for tomorrow’s needs, fear fire most of all, for it may wipe out, in a few hours, the produrtion of years. That is why they ask all of us—who must pay for this loss—to exercise the same care in a forest that we would in our own homes. Meek'Hutto Lumber Co. Exchange Bank Building Phone 804
