A. Howell of the Atlan- tic Coast Line Railway freight train, which figured recently in the school bus crash at Crescent City, with consequent-loss of ten lives. } The father of Elsie Gorton, one of the youthful victims of the tragedy, addressed a Jetter to the engineer, in which a cy brave message of coutagé iwas conv He says “I want you to know that I do not hold you to blame for this thing. I know you_coyld not help it: T'was once in the position that you are now. I lost my nerye and have never pulled again. Now Tfor one don’t want you to losexyour nerve. Brace up and stick to the throttle. It is hard for me to write this letter, bui I want to saye you the sorrow of losing your nerve. Stick to the throttle as I should have done, and it will please me much better than if you gave up. Please think of your family as they need you and your earning power. Work is hard-to get, and I know, as I am a wreck of a World War veteran, I do not draw a penny and am trying to make a liv- ing out of one hand anda oe of an- other,” Where would one find a paage ane message? Out of a heart torn with sdrrow, the crushed father turns to corhfort the’ an- guish of one who unwitting “figured in the accident that took the ‘life“of iis be-| loved child and other little, ¢hifldren.’j Out of his fortitude and courage he says further, “I have talked with other fa- thers and mothers and they also tell me that they do not hold you to blame, So ‘please try your best to forget if, and you will make me and my wife very happy.” We pity the parents of the children who Jost their lives in this tragedy, and rightly so. And like the gallant father of Elsie Gorton, our heart goes out to the poor railway engineer, who wept as he recount- ed the story of the accident and told of the horror that swept over him.as.he saw the bus Joom up on the railway crossing and knew that tragedy was inevitable, Railway engineers live in dread of killing reckless motorists, They are re- sponsible for the safety of those who ride in the passenger coaches, and then. have added to this. anxiety the fear.of encounter- “ing reckless automobilists at various cross- sings. The railway is operating on its own vight of way, on tracks laid’ down before the highways, which now cross and recross the tracks, were built, | All crossings are plainly marked and warnings posted, in- eluding the state law that requires all mo- -} torists to come to a full stop before cross- ing the tracks. The only way that acci- dents can happen is through a violation of rules of safety that have been formulated for the protection of the public. ‘The rail- way engineer is operating his train on schedule. The safety of his passengers and those on other trains is dependent: on meet- ing that schedule, and keeping’ tracks cleared according to the railway time table. He gives the customary warning blasts ‘upon approaching crossings, and more than that he cannot do..The r up to the | motorist, a and t less or ca divers a: its risks makes life one joe to'the go on, in the face of tragedy? A LONG WEDDED LIFE Most parents would be shocked if a daughter eloped and got married at the age of 14, and in most cases their appre- hension would be justified. But one never can tell, as a recent news story illustrates. A Tennessee daughter named Mary Adeline fell in love with A. V. Deadrick, but her parents forbade her to marry be- cauzs she was only 14. She ran.away from home and married her. lover, ,who was 21, and later received her parents’ forgiveness and blessing. ©That*was a long time ago: Mr. and Mrs. Deadrick lived to cele- brate their 82nd weddjégiamiiversary, sur- rounded by six children and more than fif- ty grandchildren and great grandchildren. Briefly stated, their receipt for happy married life is: Be considerate of each other; face troubles with a smile; work to the same end in life; each do his or her part in the best way possible; practice self denial). An excellent formula, no doubt, but vegardiess of its success in the case men- tioned, we would advise young people not to be too impatient to put it inte practice. join Ontario, Sault Ste. ie re is; coma anx-' ‘man who'holds the threttie But | a: eep his nerve. and. gqurage,.and | Mi SOOCCSCSOCOCOCCESESOCCCCEEEseeeeeNeresTeseEres.
