Talk On Highway
Safety By Parvin

More than 1,000 people are be
ing killed on North Carolina’s
highways evpry year, Cpl. M. S.
Parvin of the State Highway Pa
trol told members of the Rotary
Club Friday.
Cpl. Parvin, head of the SHP in
Moore County, addressed the Ro
tarians, meeting at the Country
Club, on highway safety. He was
introduced by Johnnie HaU.
“So far this year Moore Coun
ty has had 10 highway fatalities,
pretty far ahead of the 14 re
corded last year,” the speaker
said. “When you consider that we
haven’t even reached the middle
of the year and have almost as
many deaths as we had during
the entire year of 1955, the pic
ture is very black.”
Cpl. Parvin speaking in a hu
morous vein, said that highway
safety can be compared to a mar
riage—“you get tired of hearing
about it, but it’s necessary.”
He exhibited a collection of
pictures taken of wrecks that oc
curred in .this vicinity and briefly
explained the circumstances sur
rounding each wreck. “One of
the worst jobs the patrolmen
have,” he said, “outside of drag
ging crippled or dead yoimgsters
out of these horrible crashes, is
notifying the survivors after
wards. It' is not possible to des
cribe the terrible responses that
such a message brings from pa
rents.”
He said that careless driving
can, if a wreck results, cost a man
every cent he has. “Even though
people know the terrible conse
quences they face if they get in
accidents and kill people, or in
jure them, they still maintain the
’ attitude of ‘I’m Mr. So and-So

Westmoore Club
The Westmoore Home Demon
stration Club had Mrs. Otta Hus
sey as hostess for the May meet
ing. She is our foods and nutri
tion leader and had charge of the
meeting, preparing and serving
a delicious vegetable salad.
We had discussed and decided
at a former meeting to hold an
auction sale. The proceeds are to
be donated to the Home Demon
stration building which is to be
erected at Raleigh. Each member
was to bring some items to be
sold, and the sale was very suc
cessful. Some of the items auc
tioned were: strawberry and
Iflowering plants, fresh Florida
oranges and grapefruit, butter,
crocheting, and frozen meats. As
spme of the members were ab
sent, we are planning another
sale at our next meeting. ’The sale
ended with everyone compli
menting the auctioneer on the
fine job she did. 'The sale was a
lot of fun and we are looking for
ward to the next one.—By Mrs.
Wade Hare, publicity chairman
of Westmoore Club.

The Highfalls Club met in the
home of Mrs. Raymond Vaughn
for the April meeting. The club
collect was used in the devotions.
and you can’t do this to me’
when they’re stopped for viola
ting a traffic law.”
One thing that parents can do
to help in the continuous cam
paign to keep traffic accidents
down is to impress on their chil
dren the tremendous responsibil
ities that go with driving.
Even small violations, or those
that appear small, often result in
death, he said, citing the way
motorists almost always complain
when they are given a ticket for
running a stop light. “So far this
year. North Carolina has had 31
deaths resulting from people run
ning stop lights; they continue
doing it though, and think they’re
getting away with something.”
Guests at the meeting were
George Casey of Sanford, L. D.
McDonald of Southern Pines, and
two seniors from the high school,
Julian Pleasants and Deryl Hol
liday.
After the business part of the
meeting. Miss McDonald led a
discussion on pictures for the
home, which everyone enjoyed.
Through the social hour delicious
refreshments were served consist
ing of pound cake, potato chips
and soft drinks. The meeting ad
journed to meet with Mrs. J. A.
Price in May.—By Mrs. Tracy
Wilson, publicity chairman High
falls Club.
Hemmer’s Son Has
Photography Story
In New York Paper
John L. Hemmer, Brooklyn-
born son of photographer John G.
Hemmer and Mrs. Hemmer of
Pinehurst, is proving to be a
“chip of the paternal block.”
Last week. King Features, the
syndicate serving the New, York
Sunday Mirror, published a fea
ture story' on Fort Schuyler, the
home since 1938 of the State Uni
versity of New York Maritime
College—the story, occupying a
double-page spread, was illustra
ted with color photographs taken
by John L. Hemmer.
In its upcoming issue of May
27, the Mirror will carry a simi
lar feature, again with color
photo illustrations taken by Hem
mer in March at Tryon, of the U.
S. equestrian team during its try
outs for the Olympic Games, to
be held in two weeks in Stock
holm, Sweden.
Hemmer, who has been associ
ated with King Features since
1947, was educated in one of che
New York public schools. He
served overseas as a sergeant
with General Patton’s Ninth Air
Force during World War 2. Fol
lowing his combat service at the
war’s end, he did some flying and
general observation work over
Europe as a captain in the Ninth.
On his return to the states,
Hemmer, who had no formal
training in his chosen field of
photography, spent a year with
the Virginian-Pilot in Richmond,
Va., as one of its staff photogra
phers.
Hemmer, his wife, and their
two children, Johnny, Jr., and
Nancy Anne, live in Hicksville,
N. Y. and usually visit his pa
rents in the Sandhills a couple of
times a year.
