Injuries exceeded 17,000. Last year’s highway death toll was well under the near record breaking toll for 1955, officials pointed out. Mishaps that year killed 1,165 persons, the second bloodiest year in state motoring history. Delayed deaths—persons injured t in y 956 and who die this year— 1 raw Ire included in the year’s to iwJHPofficials said. This will boost the final death toll upward some what. They estimated perhaps eifcht or ten additional fatality re ports before the final figure goes into the record hook. Assistant Motor Vehicles Com-1 miksidnhr Joe W. Garrett termed! I thA year ‘.‘not too disappointing.” * He Vailed attention to increases of thr<V per cent in licensed drivers, ; 'yfivrlper cent in vehicle registra tion:! and a jump of 10 per cent in 3 Vehise travel mileage. “Considering these facts,” Gar i tott laid, “we are probably fortun -3 :i|e ifct to have had any more fa | tiUitits than we did. Still, the slaughter of this many people : n aj single year is a shameful record we.]re certainly not satisfied with.” Section The»fc.a among A Ather tl pi{ we O' init" o ,#ne n.-t -l*!' welfare neighbor’s. ■ “ft role then we as VCi(|Hßav&tiOns need to work to g4pvr more closely than we have .bfeSNoing.

He called for support of the four-county mental health] clinic. He asked that we eliminate I polluted waters, open wells, trashy | j backyards, junky places from our ] community. “The lack of cleanli ness is a large billboard telling the world what our attitude is,” he said. T|ie speaker pointed out how clearing our nearby waters would promote water sport's and fishing. He made an appeal to be good ex amples on the highway and make Kdenton a safer place in which to live. He called for good-looking storefronts, alert clerks and busi ness-like procedures. He asked that we promote our historical buildings and grounds by proper I maintenance. He reminded farm i ers that much scientific assistance is being by-passed. “Why not a Municipal Building, a library, and an adequate auditorium?” he ask ed. Finally, he asserted we ought to appreciate the talents of out youth such that some will want to remain with us in.the future. Prospects Fade For Drainage Relief Continued From Page 1, Section 1 1955 hurricanes which were des troyed or damaged and state the approximate amount of damage. Further, the applicant must state that due to improper drainage of land along watersheds as a result 1 of the 1955 hurricanes, he was un able to plant any crops during the year 1956, giving an approximate number of acres he was compelled to abandon for farming purposes and place an estimate of damage due to this abandonment. The applicant must also state on his application that in 1956 he planted and cultivated a certain number of acres in the accepted manner in crops but due to im proper drainage and wet condition of the ground the crops did not grow to full maturity and that the harvest was a complete loss or far below normal. He must estimate the amount of damage. Chowan County Commissioners were hopeful that under the stream clearance drainage project, the county would be able to get some "relief in opening ‘lip channels and making new channels in the vari ous swamps and low lands. How ever, it is understood that what work is done under the program provides only for the removal of trees and debris blown into chan ' nels by the 1955 hurricanes. No ’.excavation work is done in way of] J making or deepening channels, gov ! that if any farmer can qualify un-J ’ der the terms of the application j very little relief would be realiz-' ed as the result of present inade quate drainage. 1 However, the Commissioners ' agreed to send out mimeographed ! copies of the application so that if any farmer affected and so de sires he can fill out the form and send it to Civil Defense headquar ers in Raleigh.
