preparation of this special
observance, approximately
12,000 traffic safety kits
have been mailed.”
The safety kits contain
literature related to high
way safety, including
statistical data, editorials
and holiday data.
Commenting on this an
nual event, Powell said, “An
awareness of the
relationship between
religious responsibility and
obedience to the traffic
laws that govern and
promote highway safety
can, I feel, have a
significant and far-reaching
impact on our efforts to
make North Carolina a safer
(dace in which to live. High
way Safety must be more
than a slogan - it must be a
way of life.”
With the arrival of the
holiday season comes a
period generally high in
traffic accidents, due to
increased travel, adverse
weather conditions and
early darkness. Some 286
persons lost their lives on
North Carolina’s streets and
highways during the months
of November and December
in 1975.
“It is our hope that an
early awareness of the
hazards of driving will
spark the interest and
careful attention of every
citizen venturing onto the
roads,” Powell concluded.

Guidance Club Members vs.
Elizabeth State University
Students in a game spon
sored by the Guidance
Club’s Presidential
Classroom Project.
The donkeys will be
stubborn, as usual -
sometimes a little contrary -
and to put it mildly,
sometimes a bit un
cooperative. The rules of the
game are that you can only
shoot while sitting on the
donkey and recover loose
balls while holding on to the
donkey. This is where the
fun comes in.
About the time a player
goes to shoot, the donkey
decides he has been on his
back too long. The local
“cowboy” will then show his
skill as a rodeo star. Trying
to move the donkey two or
three inches when going
after a loose ball, can
sometimes seem like a city
block.
It will be a real challenge
to the local men of strength.
There will be thrills, spills,
laughs and more laughs.
The local drug stores will
sell their liniment stocks the
day after the game. It’s fun
for members of the entire
family. It’s the basketball
game of the year, where
everyone goes home
laughing.

Letter To
The Editor
I am a cruising sailor, qpt
a writer, but I did want to
express my appreciation to
the town of Edenton for the ,
wonderful reception a
yachtsman receives.
Your town pier, with
facilities, right in town
where one can walk to the
store and not have to get
transportation in order to
get supplies aboard ones
boat, are the answer to a
cruising mans dream.
Many thanks
to your town
