Such was the case on Decem ber when three young men were killed near Marion during pursuit by a Highway Patrol Trooper. After such tragic incidents, the Patrol is sometimes ac cused of responsibility for the deaths of the victims. The fa talities would not hjjve oc curred, say the critic#, the Patrol not insisted upon its policy of hot pursuit. The Highway Patrol Com mander, Colonel Charles Speed offers a spirited defense of the policy. "Naturally, we deeply regret any falalities resulting from a high speed chase," says Colon el Speed. "Our aim is the sav ing of lives—not the destruc tion of them. "However, if the Patrol should abandon its policy of pursuit at whatever apeed is necessary, traffic law enforce ment would quickly become a mockrey," adds the Patrol Commander. "And many more deaths would surely result." Speed views the tactics of chase as similar to the duty of a policeman who happens upon burglars breaking into a store. Hollywood Happenings By WALTIR tUKRILL There's at least one actress in Hollywood who's the exact opposite of an ambition-driven star out for fame and material success. She's Juanita Moore and she had some worthwhile observations to offer regard ing her long and fruitful career when I talked with her on the set of her latest movie, "Rosie," in which she has a supporting role with star Rosalind Russell. "I'm perfectly content to do two or three movies a year." she said. "As for the money, it's no longer important. At my age I want more T than anything else to make a significant contri bution to theatre." Not only is Miss contributing to theatre, she's also bringing a very meaningful performance to a predominately Negro sector of Los Angeles with her starring role is Ossie Davis' hit play about Negro and white stereotypes, "Purlie Victorious." The play is currently run ning at L.A.'s Ebony Show case, which is operated by Nick and Edna Stewart. It was at the Ebony that Miss Moore began her stage career 15 years ago. A native of Los Angeles, Juanita recalls how "the Stewarts and I used to ride around in their old car and dream of having a theatre in Los Angeles someday." The Ebony has since be come the Angel City's most celebrated Negro theatre. "Take A Giant Step" cer tainly wasn't the first show the actress did for the Ste warts, but it was easily the one which brought both her and the theatre recognition. Miss Moore went on to play in "Lydia Bailey," which started her movie career, and "Raisin In The Sun," a play which enjoyed a long run in London. It was in 1959 when Jua nita, who thinks it's harder to make people laugh than cry, made a lot of people cry in a remake of "Imita tion of Life" and received an Academy Award nomi nation for Best Supporting Actress. "The Oscar prestige was fine," Juanita reflected, "but I actually got more work before I was nominated nated. It seems that casting directors "feel an Oscar nominee is suddenly in another category. They wouldn't think of asking you to do a mere two or three days' work. They think you wouldn't accept it. Believe me," She added, "I certainly would accept it." Of her part in "Rosie," Miss Moore says simply "it's a role —not a Negro rols. My agent read the script and told me not to expect anything. He pointed out almost apologetically that there just aren't many parts for Negroes. "I was happy to tell him later that the role I wound up getting (that of a nurse) .hadn't been written in as a Negro part at all; it was just a good role." As for Negro actors, Jua nita agrees with the Stewarts that it's time they did some thing for themselves and quit demanding things. "The Stewart's have always thought this," she added, "and we're trying to put it into practice at the Ebony. As for me personally, theatre is my whole life." "If the burglars run, the of* fleer's job if to pursue, at tempt to apprehend them, and use whatever legal means are necessary to th4lr capture," Speed declares. "Should the policeman stand by and witch the robbery take place and do nothing to catch the thievea, the word would soon gat around to other potential law breakers. And before long It would be open season in the burglary trade," the Colonel adds. Speed says public knowledge of the Patrol's pursuit policy serves as a deterrent to high speed violations. "But let it be known that our Troopers will not pursue violators above a certain speed, and you might as well issue engraved invitations to break the law." he added.

A real interesting letter was received a week or so ago from a lady in Thurmond, N. C., who reads this column in the Elkin Tribune. She was having prob lems with one of her hydran gea plants, i I wrote her in considerable > detail after reading her letter SATURDAY, APRIL 8, IM7 THE CAROLINA TIMES and eiimnlng the leaves she sent me. With my suggestions and reaching back into her own experience with her plant, she figured out what the trou ble was. The surprising thing to me, though, was this: She told me that she did not expect to re ceive an answer to her letter in the first place and was quite overcome when I replied in such detail. Tut! tut! now- If I have ever neglected a request from one of my readers I can't remember it.
