Bad Tires One Os
Main Reasons For
' Automobile Wrecks
Car Owners Urged to
Put Tires In Good
Condition
Statistics show that one out of
every five vehicles has some mechan
ical defect such as poor tires, faulty
brakes, lights, wheel alignment or
steering mechanism.
And one of the most important and
most serious are bad tires. Are the
tires on your car or truck worn so
thin that a sharp curve or stone on
the road would send you careening
into a traffic tragedy? If they are,
then you*would do well to have them
recapped or discard them for new
ones, not only for your own safety,
but to insure that your vehicle will
pass its inspection test.
The Manual of Motor Vehicle Me
chanical Inspection Requirements
states that all motor vehicle tires
“shall be free from any exposed fab
ric or bulges which indicate broken
fabric or which exhibit dangerously

weakened conditions.”
In 1946, 520 fatal accidents and
9,240 non-fatal accidents in the Unit
ed States were caused by punctures
and blow-outs alone, demonstrating
the importance of keeping tires in
good condition at all times. It is be
lieved by motor vehicle officials that
tires are an even greater factor in
accidents than is generally reported,
for often when tMe investigating of
ficer lists “drove off roadway” as the
principal cause of an accident-, it is
logical to assume that with perfect
tires, brakes and steering mechanism,
the accident might not have hap
pened.
Help prepare your car for its in
spection check-up by having the tires
in good condition before you report
to the State Inspection Lane in your
area.
42 Families Take
Children To Hotel
For Photographing
Pictures Will Appear In
Series of Installments
In The Herald
Despite the very cold and dis
agreeable weather Saturday, 42
families took their children to Hotel
Joseph Hewes to have their pictures
taken by a representative of the
j Woltz Studios of Des Moines, lowa.
The photographer was very well
pleased with the number who brayed
the elements and with favorable
weather he said he felt reasonably
sure many more would have come in.
Proofs of the pictures taken will ar
rive about February 16 and shortly
thereafter The Herald will be furnish
ed cuts from which the pictures of the
youngsters wilj be printed in the
paper under a feature “Citizens of
Tomorrow.”
Several adults had their pictures
taken Saturday and The Herald will
be furnished one of the prints from
which cuts can be made for possible
future use.
Some Excuse
The prize excuse was introduced in
a British court during the trial of a
man charged with wife-beating. A
neighbor described the blows in de
tail and the wife’s helplessness.
In astonishment the judge asked:
“Do you mean the court to under
stand that you stood by and let this
man strike the poor woman again and
again,”
“Yes, I saw it all.”
“And you made no effort to in
terfere?”
“I couldn’t.”
“Why?”
“I was filling my pipe.”

A. C. Griffin Elected
Farm Bureau President
(Continued from Page One)
Edwards said, farmers will have a
hard job on their hands, so that he
appealed for a united front and the
full cooperation of Farm Bureau
members.
North Carolina is fifth in the na
tion in Farm Bureau membo/ship, he
said, and this group can command a
hearing on farm problems.
The speaker explained the cancel
lation of present peanut quotas,
which, he said, will be detrimental to
growers. He stated that quotas and
support prices are necessary to stab

ilize crops. Labor is protected, he
'sßid, so that farmers are entitled to
be protected by 90% parity.
A peculiar situation exists in East
ern Carolina, said Mr. Edwards, in
that it is not mechanized as in other
sections. He urged the building up
of soil, adequate drainage and pre
vention of erosion. In the.latter re
spect he referred to “human erosion,”
pointing to the fact that many good
folks are leaving farms for other
methods of making a living.
“Chowan County has as good soil
as any place in the world,” said Mr.
Edwards, “but boys and girls will not
remain on farms unless financial se
curity of the soil is maintained. In-
I come should be increased which will
attract many who otherwise leave the
farm.”
In closing his remarks Mr. Edwards
ur&ed the development of a farm pro
gram through all agencies in order to
bring about a higher net profit. He
appealed to Farm Bureau members to
stick together and work together for
the best interest of agriculture.
Following Mr. Edwards’ address,
officers for the new year were elected.
Those chosen to serve are:
President—A. C. Griffin.
First Vice' President—J. E. Baker.
Second Vice President—W. A. Har
rell,
Secretary and Treasurer—E. S.
White.
Board of Directors —E. N. Elliott,
Tom Asbell, W. Hf Saunders, L. E.
Twine, Carey Evans, Guy C. Hobbs
and W. H. Hollowell.
