"Among the several provisions of
the Game & Fish Bill passed by the
recent General Assmhly and appoved
by the Governor, is one which pro
hibits seining or netting in any of the
fresh water streams of Georgia for a
period of five years. The sec-titiug
of law prohibiting seinig reads as

for any’person to take from any of
the fresh waster streams of this state
any firsh with seine, net. gig or spear
or with any other devivce or by any
other means than with a hook and
line for a period of five years; provid
ed nothing in this act shall prohibit

The Changes of the Seasons
There is a change in everything from one season to another.
A different feeling goes with each of the four seasons. In the
autumn there is a sense of coming strength and a desire to ne mov
ing around and a love for the strong, ricn colors of fall goods a
desire for something more solid to eat.

Central of Georgia Urges Public To
Observe Grade Crossing Regulations
Last year 2,149 people .were killed in grade crossing accidents,
A much larger number were injured and there was great damage
to property. The railroads everywhere are endeavoring to save
lives at the grade crossings- The 1925 session of the Georgia Leg
islature enacted a law requiring drivers of automobiles to come to
a full stop at certain crossings, which will be designated by the
county commissioners as dangerous and which will ba so marked
by warning boards. At all other crossings automobilists must re
duce speed to six miles per hour.
The Central of Georgia urges that those operating automobiles
familiarize themselves with the provisions of this law, and observe
it. The states of North Carolina and Tennessee have "Stop Laws
Grand juries in Alabama have recommended that the leg'slatare of
that state enact a similar measure. There is increasing recogni
tion that this is a subject for regulation-
Employes of the Central of Georgia are supposed to do their
part. At the 1925 Efficiency Meeting of employes, resolutions
were passed pledging observance of stop laws by those in the em
ploy of the railroad. The Central of Georgia earnestly appeals for
the co-operation of the public in this matter.
the management is doing its part in reducing the perils of
grade crossings. Reconstruction of the line between Birmingham
and Oclumbus, Georgia, now nearing completion, eliminates forty
grade crossings within a distance of one hundred and fiity-six
miles. Elsewhere grades are being separated by the construction
of viaducts and underpasses. State highway departments and fed
eral authorities are working with the railways to avoid grade cross
ings where new highways are built or where old highways are re
located
The regulations of Georgia and of other states are reasonable

and should be obeyed. The Central of Georgia believes that right
thinking pec me will re gnize the desirability and the necessity of
such measur es, intended for the protection ot the public, and taat
they' will cheerfully comply with them as thev do wito municipal
regulations c f “Eoulevar-1 Stops”, ’ One-W cy o-nvi? » Jnincu

mors important in th it they are intended to pmserie a iman die.
The rail ’ays are constantly being m ule safer for those who
work for them and for those who ride on Lwir trams. Lt the last
thirty six ye; rs, although th? number of railway employes has
trebled, there has been a decrease of twenty-six per cent, in em
ployes fatalities. In a like period, passenger traffic has also treb
led, but there has been a decrease of iiL y-three percent, in passen
ger fatalities.
Gri.de crossing fatalities, however, in 1a24 showed an increase
of four hundred and thirty-five percent, over 189 t.
Engineers, trainmen and all other employes are required to
exercise the greatest-possible can?-m. Crowm rs are ah plainly
marked. Many of them are guarded or othe^v he protected. But
the railroads alone cannot pre /ent crossing acci Luts. Those who
cross railways must be cauti ms for their own sake. It is within
their power o protect themselves at a’l crossings.
Public support, through observance of the new Georgia law.
of the laws o’ other states, and common sense precautions is the
co-operation hat the railways seek.
Con str m five criticisms r id suggestions ar- invited.
