unit in automobile safety. A new state law now requires all high school graduates to have at least 20 lesson units in such a course. The local course will be under the general supervision of the physical education department and will be carefully planned so that students will receive what is thought to be the most essential information in this new field of instruction. Dr. Earl Bowman, who has been investigating materials in this field for some time led the discussion Wednesday and will continue another unit next week. Other qualified leaders will be invited before the group during the twenty unit course. Two new school buses, purchased by the local board of trustees were put in service last Monday. Both are of the large type, 19 foot bodies, and comply with the new state requirement in every respect. One is a Wayne body mounted on a Ford chassis, the other a Superior body on an International chasis. Next year, with the replacement of the remaining two older buses, the local school corporation will own seven buses of the most modern type, both with respect to comfort and safety, and will operate a pupil transportation system probably unexcelled in

the state.

Previews and Reviews AT LOCAL THEATERS

Voncastle “The Great Ziegfeld,” the conip'ete road show which lasts three hours, comes to th" Voncastle Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. William Powell has the title role and Myrna Loy and Luise Rainer are featured. Although “The Great Ziegfeld’’ is not just another musical revue, it has many and elaborate musical incidents which form the background for the story, give authenticity to the plot and recreates the atmosphere of the show world. The story was suggested by Ziegfeld’s career, his rivalries, successes and failures. Special emphasis is placed on the fact also that the character of Ziegfeld is not intended as an accurate historical study. It has been made partly fictionai. consistent also with spacious and glamorous legends that surrounded him. As a natural part of the plot the picture introduces spectacular musical interludes of the type which Ziegfeld made famous on Broadway. The singing and dancing is said to present the last word in entertainment, every role being filled by the artist top in his particular field. In preparing this production whose cast is studded with such luminaries of the stage and film world as Frank Morgan, Fannie Brice, Reginald Owen. Ray Bolger, Nat Pendleton and Harriet Hoctor, the studio duplicated tho profligacy of Ziegfeld himself by using sixteen reels and 15,.'100 feet of film. Chateau The first all-color picture of tho out-doors, "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," has been booked for a return engagement at the Chateau theater for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Sylvia Sidney, Fred MacMurray and Henry Fonda are starred. Natural color and natural backgrounds are used exclusively in this picturization of the John Fox, Jr., novel. . It Is 3 story of “feuding” in the Cumberland mountains, where family battles family for reasons long since forgotten. MacMun^iy is a young engineer who is assigned to build a railway through the bills Miss Sidney and Fonda are members of the same clan, and Fonda is in love with the girl. She is fascinated by the stranger from the outside world, and Fonda’s jealouy is aroused. He sets out to !‘get” MacMurray—but simultaneously the rival elan sets out to “get” him. A battle royal ensues when they all get together, bringing the film to a stirring climax. Granada Pictured against the majectic splendor of America’s foremost national park, “Yellowstone,’’ is the screen attraction at the Granada Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Filled with suspense, novel twists and unusual protography. the film presents a mystery which develops some of the strangest problems, and offers the most unexpected solutions offered to a movie audience. The cast includes Henry Hunter, Judith Barrett. Ralph Morgan, Alan Hale and Andy Devine. ROY NEARLY WRECKS TRAIN FINDLAY. O.

"Motor Manners’ Key to Accident Problem, Say Nation s Safe Drivers

jAEFINlTELY going on record 'L' that there Is no excuse for highway accidents, the 49 representative safe drivers from every state in the Union and the District of Columbia who convened in New York recently as guests of the C.l.T. Safety Foundation declared by unanimous vote that bad "motor manners" aro the cause of oar present deplorable record of deaths aud injuries. Careful analysis and study was devoted to the records of the individual drivers during the three day conference and many phases of the accident situation were discussed among which were: (1) condition of the car, (2) condition of the driver, (111 condition of highways, (4) uniform traffic laws, (5i attitude of driver, (6) stricter enforcement. It was agreed, however, hy the delegates tliai if the man or woman behind the wheel observed proper "motor manners" the authorities in charge of highway construction, law making, and enforcement would have les- to worry about, and accidents would be fewer In addition to the plaque shown on the rigid and an expense paid trip, each delegate was presented with a gold chop pin, set with diamonds, wiih the winili ' I T Safety Foundation Safe Driver League." On the hack of the pin t.ere the words "llouor Member,” and a space for the engraving of the delegate’s name. I The 49 delegates agreed to form the nucleus of the C. I T Safe Driver's League to promote better driving through encouraging "Motor Manners,” and to work with the C.l.T Safety Foundation In the promotion of the next annual Sate Driver Conference, delegates to which will be chosen on a somewhat different basis than for the recent Conference.
