Vol ?noU no*pt Dear Mister Editor: During the past few weeks, we have been hearing a great deal about the law and such like in tl)is area. This brings to mind the thought of highway patrolmen. As I understand it, there are Just two patrolmen in this area to cover the entire county. 1, for one. don't see bow two men can be expect, g ed to cover the highways in tins section as well as they should. Regardless of how good a Job tljey try to do and how dedicated ?; to their task, two men Just ain't enough to go around. I'm sure everybody has had the experience of almost being run oft the road by a nut driving like they wanted to kill themselves and somebody else too. Maybe this could all be avoided if there was enough highway patrolmen to go around. ^ These two men that are on duty now certainly have to sleep sometimes and they can't stay on the Job during all waking hours. And during the summer months when the roads are filled witti tourist, it seems to be only common sense that a patrolmen be on duty at leaat from ? a. m. until around Sincerely, 1. D. Clare Dancing Youngsters Capture Hearts Of Television Executives At Florida The Carolina Sweethears have returned from ReJdincton Beach. Fla., where they preformed before a group of television executives with the promise of a return engagement and the chance to appear on at least one national TV show.
