■ V* w '- -■ i 4 .7 • SECTION TWO New 1957 Statej Highway Map Now j Being Distributed! One of Finest Ever Provided By High way Commission The new 1957 four-color State highway map is now off the press and being distributed, Chairman A. H. Graham reports. The handsome pew colored (red, blue, green and yellow) map is one of the finest the Highway Com mission has ever produced, Graham added. f To facilitate the movement of through traffic, all primary US highways and bypassess are shown l in red. For the first time, ail the * ' State’s four-laned highways have ”, been designated by a black bamfr ■ along the red primary routes. . Another map first is the link across the Croatan Sound marking tye new William B. Umstead Bridge between Mann’s Harbor and 'ftoanoke Island. The Tine three mile long bridge replaces the long time ferry service at that point and opens up the Outer Banks to main land traffic. It will be formally dedicated April 25. easier reference, schedules for . ihe State-operated Alligator Rivdr and Oregon Inlet ferries have been* moved from the back to the face pf the map near actual loca tion of the ferries. For, the first time in response to popular demand and usage, the 15 roadside parks, built and main tained by the Highway Commission for the convenience of the motor ing, public, are listed with their re spective locations keyed to the map. The roadside parks feature off-road pa -kitig, protected drinking water supply, modern restrooms, picnic .tables, and fireplaces. There is no charge for use of the parks. How ever, Graham urged park users to cooperate in keeping the areas ..Clean, ij Since* the 1956 map, two towns have grown enough population-wise to lie shown as cities. Chapel Hill and Lumherton now qualify with 1 10,000 or more year-round residents i and are shown as “cities” on the , nwp. The face of the map has a high way log showing the approximate mileage between North Carolina ‘ towns iia numbered highways. For easy location, an index to,cities, towns, county seats and points of interest is keyed to the map. . The back of the map gives the ’• out of State tourist, as well as the Tar Heel motorist, a representative view of the State by featuring IP full-colbr pictures of typical scenes in North Carolina. Also shown are the State Flag, the State Bird (Cardinal), the State Flower (Dos.

In addition, three pictures—the old Salem Restoration in Winston-Sal em, the Tryon Palace Restoration at New Bern, and the new William B. Umstead Bridge connecting Roa- ' noke Island to the mainland—ap- 1 pear for the first tijne on the map. Graham said that '50,000 of the new maps are available for free distribution. As in years past, the map was drawn by C. M. Sawyer, cartographer, under the supervision of W. W. Hampton, research and cartographic editor. The maps were printed by the Winston Print ing Company in Winston-Salem. : March Roaring: Lion - Gentle Lamb j By SYLVIA C.

Delicate fabrics to heavy work clothes dry in cozy comfort in your dryer, regardless of the weather outside. With an electric dryer, every day is filled with sunshine. Your clothes can be “custom-laundered” any day or Evening—wind, rain o' shine! I Hours of drying time on- a clothe •' line shrink to minutes in an elec tric clothes dryer. .Electriejiving is carefree living —yes, even on washday. A survev by one manufacturer states that more than half of the women own ing dryers save more than twenty 8-hour days a year. (Quite a vaca tion, I’d say!) This is a saving of 3 hours every week. For example, approximately 1 hour saved hang ing clothes per week; M hour saved sprinkling clothes per week; and hour saved on ironing time -ach week. Now let’s take a look at the bud get. An electric dryer permits the growing child’s -washable wardrobe to be reduced to half. Even thr , cuddly toys Santa left look like new and last longer when dried electrically!

BENEFITS FOR DISABLED CHILDREN |l i J In the past when a parent asked if social security payments could be continued to his disabled child past age 18, the social security peo ple have had to tell the parent that i payments could not be continued, i according to P. E. Bettendorf, rep | l'esentative of the Social Security , Administration. He stated that j now we can tell these parents bene j fits are payable to some disabled | children who are past age 18. : Mr. Bettendorf explained there . are certain requirements which ! must be met before payments may : be continued to disabled children 1 past age 18. The requirements are fPLETE FIST I |cdNt»oirj COSTS ONLY A FEW CENTS A DAY PHONE 3223 ■ ’ (1) the child must have been dis-| a bled before he reached age 18; (2). the child must be unmarried; (3)j tile child must be dependent on a! parent, or a step-parent, or an! adopting parent who is entitled to; . old-age insurance benefits under ; social security, or tlie child was de- j pendent on a parent who died after 1939 and the parent was insured for survivors benefits at the time of his or her death. The payments to the qualified disabled child will continue indefi nitely so long as he remains total ly disabled. If the disabled child past age 18 is found to be eligible for these benefits, his mother (regardless of her age) will also be eligible for monthly payments as long as she continues to have the disabled child i in her care. Applications for social security benefits for disabled children should be filed promptly, Mr. Bet tendorf stated. The first payments under this part of the law were for the month of January, 1957. 100,000 Children Are Expected To Visit General Assembly If history repeats, more than 100,000 school children will visit the State Capitol at Raleigh and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this spring, Morehead Planetarium Manager A. F. Jen zano says. “Every spring school children go to Raleigh and Chapel Hill on a combination educational sightseeing trip, and the number is greater the years that the General Assembly is in session,” Jenzano said, “because they can see the law-making legis lature in action.” Capitol figures for 1955 showed that more than 100,000 children visited the ancient I structure. Beginning March* 20 anil run ning through April 29, special school programs of “Easter, the Awakening” will be presented at the Planetarium Mondays through Fridays at 11 A. M., and 2 P. M. ! On request of groups of 100 or more, special presentations will lie given at any hour. Reservations are necessary for all children’s pro grams.
