State School Department Tuesday.
Superintendent M. D. Collins has
been in Washington several days at
work on the projete.

Lave already run out of money and
many of them have closed their
schools for lack of funds, it was said.

person is due back in Atlanta from
Washington Thursday.
Financial statements showing the
aid needed by the various county and
independent districts are now 'being
completed at the school office.
The general situation was survey
ed and outline plans for the work
laid out last week by two represen
tatives of Harry Hopkins, national
relief administrator, the men, E. M.
Foster and D. T. Blose, worker! in
the Department of Education offices
several days.
The program was worked out,
school officials said, precisely as re
quired by the federal representatives.
No specified sum will be alloted for
the work under present plans, but
funds are to be made available to
run the schools for a term equal to
that of 1930-31. In addition to the
county systems, city schools in com
munities under 5,000 population may
participate.
Superintendent Collins’ office re
ported that about 12,000 teachers
would be benefited by the program,
and that three-fourths of the state’s
school systems would be affected.
This aid is in addition to the more
than 1,000 teachers now serving in
various Georgia schools and in spe
cial adult and vocational classes on
the CWA pay roll. The teachers
now to be taken over are those reg
ularly employed in the schools which
can no longer pay them.
AUTOMOBILE WAS DAMAGED
BY FIRE HERE SATURDAY
A Ford automobile belonging to
Mr. J. H. Pope was pretty badly
damaged by fire Saturday after
noon. The car was parked bn the
west side of the court house square
and in attempting to crank it flames
burst forth. The blaze was put out
by use of fire extinguishers and
chemicals but not until it had caused
considerable damage. The fire, it is
stated, was probably caused by a
leak in the gas tank.

TRESPASSING BROUGHT
DEATH TO MANY PEOPLE
Atlanta, Ga.—The hazard of tres
passing on the tracks and trains of
railroads is forcefully revealed in a
bulletin issued by the Safety Bureau
of the Southern Railway System,
showing that during the year 1933
casualties to trespassers on the prop
erty of the Southern reached the
tragic proportions of 213 persons
killed and 236 injured. This was an
increase of ten per cent in deaths
and four per cent in injuries over
1932 and sets anew high record for
both deaths and injuries.
According to the bulletin, there
were 77 killed and 154 injured while
trespassing on trains as against 78
killed and 156 injured in 1932.
Trespassing on the tracks of the
Southern accounted for 136 deaths
and 82 injuries in 1933, as against
114 deaths and 71 injuries in the
preceding year.
In the twelve-year period, 1922
through 1933, the total casualties
among trespassers on the Southern
Railway System’s tracks and trains
numbered 1,807 killed and 2,147 in
jured. The lowest number of deaths
for any one year was 129 in 1922
and the lowest number of injuries.
133 in 1927, the bulletin reveals.
