Page EIGHTEEN THE PILOT—Southern Pines, North Carolina THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1959' Aberdeen Outdoor Advertising Firm Recognized For Help in Road Safety The Mid South Company, an outdoor advertising concern with headquarters in Aberdeen, has been recognized by the National Safety Council and the North Caroliila State Highway Patrol for outstanding service to the cause of highway safety. The company, owned and oper ated by Jere and Marcie Mc- Keithen, is one of only four North Carolina concerns receiv ing the National Safety Council’s “Public Interest Award’’ for 1958. The others are the Char lotte Observer, WBTV television station, and the Reynnolds^ To bacco Company. Mr. and Mrs. McKeithen went to Raeligh this morning to re ceive the award from Mayor Charles A. Steed, director of the safety division of the State High way Patrol. Present for the award ceremony were ‘Senator Wilbur Currie and Representa tive H. Clifton Blue. The awards are made national ly to radio and teleyision stations, networks and syndicates, news papers, general and specialized magazines (except those special izing in the field of safety), labor publications, advertisers and out door advertising publications, in appreciation of their dedication of a praiseworthy percentage of their time or space to keeping the public informed and alert to highway safety. In listing 428 such awards made throughout the nation— with only four coming to North Carolina—Howard Pyle, presi dent of the National Safety Council, said: “A study of these 1958 public interest awards shows the tremendous contribu tions of mass communication media to the sharp reduction in the number of accidental deaths a year.” The McKeithens bought their small outdoor advertising com pany in 1954 and have since built it up to the largest North Caro lina owned concern in its field. It is a sideline, however, as Mr. McKeithen devotes most of his time to the Aberdeen Supply Company, of which he is a part- During the past year, he said yesterday, the company has, at its own expense, ordered at least one new safety poster each rhonth and posted it on a bill board in its coverage area, which is concentrated in several central Carolina counties. In addition to the safety posters, the company has provided free space (about $21 per month) in the interest of 29 different pub lic service projects, including the March of Dimes, Better Schools, Sandhills Veterans Association, Religious Overseas Aid, Red Thursday and Friday BUY ONE AT REGULAR PRICE, GET SECOND FOR 19< Now!
