Davis Buys New
Ditching Machine
Roy W. Davis, owner, of Pan-
handle Services, announced this
week the purchase of one of the
most modern pitching machines
on the market. The new machine
will handlp ditching from 6 to
14 inches wide and from 1 to 54
inches deep.

Vermeer ditch-o-matic and consi-

pieces of equipment in the city. It
cost slightly less than $6,000 and
will cut ditches cleaner and fast-
er than any ditcher in this area,”

a 100 horse power Wisconsin air-

First Aid
Class Set
Begining Sept. 9 at 7 P.M., Al-
vin Lewis will instruct a standard
first-aid class in White Deer to be
in the High School.
The 18-hour course is open to
the public, but new drivers of
school buses have been especially
encouraged to attend the classes.
A nine - hour refresher course
will be offered later to school bus
drivers who have already taken
the standard course.
Huelyn Lacycock, high school
principal, urged new drivers to
take advantage of learning the
precautions for artificial respira-
tion (new method), how to treat
for shock, bandages, frost-bite,
etc. It is felt that knowledge of
first - aid taugh in former courses
has been one of the primary
fastors in the low accident-free
record.
Lewis who is with the Safety
Department of Northern Natural
Gas Company, Skellytown, receiv-
ed a special award from the local

maintain its record of “no injur-
ies to a school student from a
vehicle driven by an adult”, again
this year, H. M. Nichols, farm and
ranch safety director said.
“Give children a brake,” he
urged' ... . • ■;
The size of our schools shows
the necessity of increased cau-
tion. Enrollment in the state this
year is expected to reach 1,883,-
881, plus 75,280 teachers and
more than 8,000 school buses.
Regardless of the police action,
individual drivers need to drive
with special care from now until
next May.
“I would like to repeat a
statement made last week before
the Lions Club. One-half of all
children will be in a serious auto-
motive accident before they reach
voting age,” he said.
Here’s my slogan for Carson
county this year: “Go Slow, Let
Them Grow.”
