Ebeling Thursday cautioned motorists to cut down on speed as the one way to avoid traffic accidents, Two minor accidents reported to police Wednesday were direttly attributable at least in part to slippery streets, Ebeling said. Pedestrians also were urged to stop and look a second time before venturing across streets at inter- sections. “Anyone who steps in front of a moving car these days may as well make up his mind toa stay in the hospital,” declared Ebeling, “since it’s impossible for cars to stop quickly no matter how slow they may be moving.” Several pedestrians have been injured falling on slippery side- walks even though ashes have been scattered at intersections. 28,479 FARMERS GET FSA GRANTS Total Amount Released n State During November, Early December $740,032 Farm Security administration Grants aggregating $740,032 were given 28479 North Dakota farmers during November and early Decem- ber, FSA Director Walter Maddock said Thursday.

Thompson, superintendent of public instruction, sald Thursday. Announcing the December grants of $75,120—largest since distribution of the $500,000 special equalization fund began in September—Thompson said salaries of 711 teachers were paid with the monies, Approximately 15,000 pupils attend these insolvent schools which are in- capable of issuing certificates of in- debtedness or registered warrants for salaries, he said. Heaviest participants in the fund were Mountrail county with 13 insol- vent districts; McKenzie and Divide, each with 12, and McLean and Mc- Henry with 10. Grail school district in McKenzie county received $2,285 each month, @ total of $9,140, for salaries of 63 teachers, he pointed out.

William Langer, Attorney General Alvin Strutz and Thompson comprise the governing board in charge of apportioning the monies on a basis of need, “Whether the fund will be adequate to ald insolvent districts for the full school year depends upon the amount of help given in the distribution of the teacher-unit and non-resident tuition monies, half of which is ap- portioned at the end of the first semester,” Thompson stated. “Last year over. $300,000 in non- resident tuition monies were distrib- uted on the basis of $27 per non-resi- dent pupil at the half year mark,” he declared. “The teacher-unit pay- ments approximated $75 per unit for the year.” Wheeler Wants U.
