CARROLLTON, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1941
NUMBER 1
TO CONDUCT QUIZ ON
U. S. CONSTITUTION
Some human lives may be worth but
$25; others $2500; others $25,000 and still
others cannot be valued in monetary
terms. County officials evidently recog-
nized this recently when they installed
a new traffic signal light on Lemmon
Avenue at In wood Road. This has been
one of the most hazardous intersections
on Lemmon Avenue which has not
heretofore had a light. Now, however,
the value of human lives has been
recognized and a few dollars invested
to purchase and maintain a light to
enable those crossing the main trorough-
fare to do so without risk of death or
a serious accident.
Carrollton, however, has even more
hazardous. Intersections, than. any. on
Lemmon Avenue with the exception of
the Northwest Highway crossing. The
crossings are not only dangerous be-
cause a person on a side street has to
dart in at the first opportunity, but be-
cause ears go through town—the business
distriotr-at speeds as high as 60 miles
per hour. Even the careful pedestrian
crossing the square has to wait some-
times several minutes to get across.
Others, not so careful, take their lives
in their hands when they “run” across.
These pedestrians and the cars from
the main sldestreets deserve the right
to cross U. S- 77, yet if there is a steady
stream of cars on the highway moving
fast, it is sometimes 15 minutes before
one can safely get across. UVfS ARE
VALUABLE, and it would cost only a
few dollars to install and operate
traffic signal light in Carrollton. The
county should pay for and install the
light if the city will operate It. Richard-
son has “blinkers,” Grand Prairie has
two signal lights, piano has a signal
light, Fomy has them—why are not
Carrollton lives worth as much as those
in other towns?
True, the new highway will pass
through Carrollton on the overpass, but
that will be almost a year before com-
pleted and ready for use. Too. the pre-
sent roadbed will continue to be a state-
maintained highway, will be used as an
approach road to the new road, and will
be almost as busy after the new high-
way is in use as now. The traffic light
would be well worth its price just for
use even until the new U. S. 77 is com-
pleted. Shall we continue to endanger
the lives of our school children, our
young people, and our adults by per-
mitting the through automobiles to go
through at such high speeds? LETS
HAVE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHT
TO HELP SAVE CARROLLTON LIVES
AND GIVE LOCAL PEOPLE A
CHANCE TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY!

The clean-up campaign is underway.
Yes, sincere efforts, valuable time and
planning are being put forth on the pert
of a few civic minded citizens who are
deeply concerned about the appearance
of Carrollton—the impression our town
will make on visitors and travelers. All
residents of Carrollton should cooperate
wholeheartedly with this drive to
beautify the community and to rid it
Of rats, unsightly weeds and rubbish.
Trucks will pick up the rubbish if in
boxes or sacks next Friday and Satur*
day, Nov. 14 and 15. Let’s make a more
beautiful and impressive town!

And Display Pot
Plants At Meeting j
The Annual Fall Flower Show which
was begun last year by The Carrollton
Community Garden Club, will be held
this year next Thursday night at the

interesting as well at outstanding meet-
ings of the year,” Miss Ollivene Patter-
son, president of the club, said this
week.
Each member is expected to bring a
pot plant to display. Lela W. Foster,
Dallas authority on flowers, will lecture
on “House Plants ” Members are also
urged to bring an arrangement of fall
flowers to be placed In Class 1. Class 8
is to be a novelty arrangement such as
fruit in a gourd, wild grasses in a shoe,
or flowers in some type of novelty vase.
A prize will be awarded to the member
bringing the best pot plant, judged on
condition of plant, coloring, relation-
ship of plant to container, and general
appearance of the plant. A prize will
also be awarded to the member bring-
ing the best arrangement of fall flowers
in a suitable container.
For the member bringing the most
beautiful or humorous yet unique novel-
ty display, a prize will also be given.

Do you have rats or mice hi, your
house, bam, basement or garage* It’.*
nothing to be ashamed of-yet, Burst will
be soon if you don’t follow the sugges-
tion below and cooperate with city
officials and Garden Club in its annual
Fall clean-up.
Mayor J. C. Davis, on good authority,
gives the following formula for killing
rats and mice:
5c worth of Barium which can be
bought at any drug store. (A government
prescription)
5c worth hamburger rq£a£.
Sprinkle some of thj# pondered poison
on some hamburger -mdbt, mix thor-
oughly, and wrap a small quantity in
paper (to make the rats think you
don’t want them to have it, the Mayor
says.)
After eating of the deadly poison food,
the rats have time to get away from the
house before the poison takes effect.
This is an advantage over some methods
in that others cause the rats to die
before they get out of the house or
walls
Tiny Janet Noble Is

MEMBEB OF FAMILY
“With many homes giving up sons,
husbands or brothers to the colors, all
others can at least give $1 Red Crow
membership for each member of th*
familv toward our national defense pro*
paredness,” A. J Cook, of Mesquite, dt*
dared at a rally of rural community
teams for Red Cross Roll Call this week
at the chapter office, 2300 McKinney
Avenue.
Mr. Cook is chairman of the rural
solicitation in the campaign which will
open Mondav to enroll every person in
the city and county in support of Red
Cross in the coming twelve months.
“This year, above all years since the
first World War, the Red Cross needs
the membership of every citizen, end
we urge every man and woman to give
his or her own dollar, separately and In*
dividually,” Mr. Cook declared. “Even
the youngsters are doing their share at
school in the Junior Red Cross Only
by every citizen giving generously at
this time can Red Cross be maintained
in the coming year for our boys in ulU*
form, for our defense preparedness at
home and the continuance of vital do-
mestic services of disaster relief and cent*
munity welfare.”
Those who have boys in service will
give for their sake, the chairman em*
nhasized. and those who haven’t should
"ive even more generously, thankful that
‘.heir dollars are the only sacrifice thfy
are called upon to make.
Four district leaders under Mr- Coak
will direct the rural solicitation siroul*
