Early in her married life she

and was a member of that organi
zation until her death. She was a
faithful church worker and was
true to her faith to the last.
She was a wonderful mother and
did everything in her power to
make the lives of her family happy.
Her life will long be remembered
and revered by those who knew her.
She leaves to mourn her passing,
five daughters, Mrs. Betty Archer,
Tilden, Nebr.; Mrs. Nellie Orndorff,
Twin Falls, Idaho; Mrs. Flossie

Grade School Notes
First Grade
The fairies have finished their
third supplementary reader. Next
week they start “Round the Year.”
The Brownies are working on
the last chapter of their workbooks
and hope to be ready for a new one
after Christmas.
t Fourth Grade
Our narcissus bulb has bloomed,
very appropriately for Christmas
week.
The “A” reading group have
been studying, “The Day of the
Automobile.” We have made lists
of all the things we have learned
about good drivers and about bad
drivers.
We are becoming more and more
interested in the story of the little
Swiss girl, Heidi, and her experi
ences in the big city.
Santa will be here tomorrow with
his presents and good things. We
are anxiously waiting for him.
Fifth Grade
In fractions we must learn to
be good cooks. Unreduced frac
tions in an answer are like finding
raw, drippy dough in the center of
a cake. It just isn’t thru baking.
But most of us are excellent cooks.
Come up sometime and we’ll bake
you a pan of fractions.
We made all our own decorations
for our Christmas tree. George
found that tin foil and cellophane
make bright ornaments of all
shape and sizes.
Kathleen and Margaret Jean
have often mentioned having a
little "Doll Day” but lately we
seem to be having a little brother
and sister day. Bobby Mitchell
and Donna Rae Dailey and Luella
Stewart, and a little friend of Ma
vis Bausch have been on the roll
this week.
Deloris Matula and Kathleen
Ives have earned 100 in arithmetic
every day for the past six weeks.
t Sixth Grade
We are glad that Betty Jane is
able to be back to school after a
few days illness.
A demonstration of the test-study
method in Spelling, was given Mon
day morning for the Senior Norm
al training class.
Among our little visitors recent
ly were Carol Lee Wilkinson, Betty
Lou Campbell and Shirley Robin
son.
To the Parents: We appreciate
the splendid cooperation you have
given us the past semester. We
wish you a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.
Seventh Grade
Many have brought decorations
for our room and tree which have
helped to give our room the Christ
mas feeling.
There were twenty-one from our
room in the Grade Operetta. We
wrere proud of the fine way in
which they did their parts and en
joyed the operetta very much.
A Total of 137 Fires
Adds To Accident List
Although accidents in general
showed a decrease, a total of 137
fires was responsible for the 324
mark for the week ending Dec. 11.
According to the records compiled
by the State Department of Public
Instruction and the Nebraska Press
association, this is^ an increase of
twenty-two over the report for the
week ending Dec. 4 In direct con
trast to the mounting toll of ac
cidents, injuries dropped from 240
last week to 190 for this report, a
new low in many months. Deaths
totaled twelve. The children’s
record shows one child killed, one
disabled and twenty-eight injured.
Auto Accidents Show Drop
A most encouraging drop was
noted in motor vehicle accidents
the past week as eighty were re
ported in contrast to the 100 of
the previous rdibrd. Injuries and
deaths dropped sharply from 109
the week before to fifty-five for
this period. Three persons met
death in collisions, two pedestrians
were fatally injured by cars, a
tire blowout caused a wreck in
which a man was killed, another
man died of injuries incurred when
he hit a parked car, and one other
was killed in a railroad crossing
accident. A child will bo disabled
because the car in which she was
riding struck a horse and broken
glass flew in her eye. The other
disability was the result of a col
lision.
Icy streets and roads in the last
two weeks have increased the num
ber of accidents caused by skidding.
Statistics show that in the last two
months there have been twenty-five
such accidents in which twenty-two
people were injured and one killed.
A further study reveals that two
causes are largely responsible for
most of these accidents — loose

life is work and save.

gravel and icy roads. Motorsts are
urged to practice the utmost cau
tion in driving, especially in slip
pery weather. A great many of
the accidents thru skidding could
be avoided if drivers would cut
down on their speed.
Three people were hurt the past
week because of cars skidding.
Collisions accounted for thirteen
injuries, thirty-three less than last
week. Nine persons were injured
when drivers lost control of thciy
cars and four because of tire blow
outs. Four pedestrians were hit
by automobiles and injured while

crossing mishap which cost the
life of her husband. Blinding
lights caused an accident in which
a man was injured and another
man was burned in a car fire. A
motorcycle-car collision resulted in
one injury, three were hurt when
parked cars were hit, three people
had hand injuries because of auto
mobiles, and two others were al
most fatally overcome by monoxide
gas which seeped into their car.
Two intoxicated drivers were
reported, one of whom was included
in the list of five hit and run driv
ers who made their appearance
this week.
Public Accidents Decrease
Other public accidents showed a
continued decrease with fifty-seven
accidents reported as compared to
sixty-one of the previous report.
Injuries tied last week’s casualty
at fifty-two. No deaths or dis
abilities were reported in this cata
gory. The basketball season open
ed with eight injuries reported and
mishaps at school accounted for
five injuries.
Play and sports were responsible
for twenty-two being hurt while
falls followed closely with twenty.
One man was injured when a gun
accidentally discharged and an
other was cut. Two people sus
tained burns, three had leg injuries,
a man was hit by a bicycle and
hurt, another had an eye injury,
and still another broke his thumb.
Five public fires were reported.
Agriculture Betters Record
Agricultural accidents showed up
better the past week with n total of
thirty-seven as compared to forty
two the previous week. Injuries
and deaths came to thirty-two,
three less than the previous report.
A farmer was killed in a runaway
and another disabled when he lost
the sight in one eye as the result of
a farm accident.
Ten farmers sustained bad cuts
while sawing wood, seven were in
jured by farm animals, machinery
injured four others, and one man
was hurt in a fall. Two persons
had hand injuries, two were hurt
cutting wood, another was injured
in a runaway, and still another had
a leg injury. Five agricultural
fires were recorded.
Industrial Fires Cause Big Increase
Nineteen industrial fires stepped
up this week’s record to thirty
■. ■■
?ight accidents. This is eleven
more than the previous week. In
juries and deaths came to nineteen,
>ne more than the pervious record.

Machinery caused three of the in
juries, two workmen were cut, and
two others were burned. One slip

ment, two had leg injuries, and a
