ACCIDENT RESEARCH Research aimed at reducing ex cessive and needless injury in passenger car accidents has been initiated August 1 by the North Carolina-Cornell University Au tomotive Crash Injury Research program in Alleghany, Surry, Wilkes, Yadkin, Carteret, Craven, Pamlico, Greene, Jones and Lenoir Counties. It is estimated that thousands of American mo torists may already have been saved from injury or death by the application of data obtained in North Carolina and in other par ticipating states in recent engin eering safety designs aimed at in creasing passenger protection.

Eight North Carolinians are ex pected to die from gunshot wounds during the current hunt ing. season, according to Wildlife Resources Commission hunter safety specialist Bill Hammett. One non-fatal accident has al ready been reported, Hammett says, and seven more will occur if past records are repeated this year. Hammett is supervising the Wildlife Commission’s new vol unteer hunter safety training pro gram, which so far has available 259 certified volunteer hunter safety instructors. Wildlife Commission records show 23 fatalities in the last three hunting seasons. There were 25 non-fatal accidents in the same period, making an average of 16 hunting accidents each year. One Goldsboro dove hunter has already been hospitalized with self-inflicted shotgun wounds. Most Common Type Hammett states, ‘‘There is no such thing as the typical hunting accident, but from our records we can pretty well predict what will happen. The most common type of accident occurs when an experi enced hunter stumbles, falls, and shoots his hunting companion or himself.” Eleven cases of persons killed or wounded when a hunter stumbled and fell were reported during the three-year period. This year Hammett expects three of the shooters to be under 21 years of age, and seven of the victims to be minors. Five ■wounds, he says, will be self- inflicted, and here the younger hunters stand the best chance of becoming part of the statistics. Four will be minors, and only one victim an adult. Most Dangerous What is the most dangerous weapon? According to Hammett, a shotgun has figured in 35 cases while rifles involved 12. Less than half the shotgun cases proved fatal, claiming 15 victims. Fewer hunters use rifles, but rnore than half the rifle-wound victims, sev en persons, died from wounds in- liicted by the high-velocity weap ons. An axe was listed as the weapon in one case involving a coon hunter. Of the 16 cases expected this year, half the victims will be within 10 yards of the gun. An other third will be within 50 yards, and the remainder will include some more than a hundred yards from the shooter. Causes Noted In calling attention to the most frequent causes of hunting acci dents, Hammett listed the follow- John Harris, Courthouse Janitor Until Recent Death, Honored by Moore Court Good Reading for the « Whole Family •News •Facts •FaniQir Features 11!» OuMtot $etiiMe Monitor Norway St., Boston 15, Mess.

Solicitor W. Lamont Brown, in a little speech to the court, noted the loyalty and devotion of the janitor through a quarter century of service, and said he had often discussed court cases with him, wishing punishment of wrong doers even though they might be his friends or relatives, and equal ly seeking to clear the name of those he believer unjustly ac- “Though he was an uneducated man, his long association with this court had given him a strong sense of justice,” commented the Solicitor, asking the court’s me morial to “the memory of a good and faithful servant.” Judge Rowe, agreeing that this was fitting and proper, placed on permanent record in his judg ment book, ‘‘The Court upon mo tion of the Solicitor for the State adjourns the session out of respect and honor to John Harris, court house janitor for about 25 years, who died suddenly a few days ago. John was a faithful servant and a friend of justice, and a good janitor, and we will miss him.” Funeral services for Mr., Harris were held Sunday afternoon at the Carthage AME Zion church, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Bennett, and attended by a large group of friends, both white and colored. A native of Chatham exaunty, he moved to Carthage with his fam ily as a young boy, worked for a while for the Williams family, then for many years at the Currie planing mill. He started work as janitor at the courthouse about 1935, and for a number of years was also sexton on weekends at the Carth age Baptist Church. He was senior steward at the Carthage AME Zion church until his death, and was a Mason and Knight of Pythias. His wife died in 1936. Four chil dren survive, Mrs. Ada Harris Kelly and Azalee Harris, of the home, Mrs. Louise Manning of Norfolk, Va., and LaVerne Harris of Washington, D. C.; 10 grand children and 12 great-grandchil dren. . His death followed what was described as a “light bump” from a car driven by Mrs. Carr Paschal of Glendon, as he crossed toward the Martin Street entrance of the courthouse Tuesday morning. Taken to Moore Memorial Hospit al, he died soon after admission. An autopsy was performed, which, said Coroner Ralph G. Steed, showed no injuries, but that death had occurred from a chronic heart disease, and shock. Steed exone rated Mrs. Paschal of blame. He was one of three janitors at the courthouse, one of whom, Ed ward Brower, was taken on a couple of years ago when Harris, after an illness, was found unable any longer to do heavy work or lifting. The other, Hugh Barrett, has worked there “off and on” for some 15 years. Brower and Bar rett are now sharing the janitor tasks. MOUNTAIN FOLIAGE With 200 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway completed for va cation motoring in North Caro lina’s “Land of the Sky,” an ob servation tower atop the highest of the Great Smokies’ peaks, and new and improved highways throughout the mountains, trav elers are seeing the autumn color from more and higher vantage points than ever before. The mountain show reaches its great est beauty between mid-October and early November. ' ent heard campaign speeches by three boys. Tommy Richardson and Jeffrey Levy spoke for Nix on and Frank P. (Buddy) Smith spoke for Kennedy. In an impressive ceremony closing the meeting each person was given a candle which was lit from one of the three candles brought to Scout leaders here by Dr. J. C. Grier, Jr., of Pinehurst from the National Scout Jambo ree in Colorado last summer. The Rev. Carl Wallace, pastor of the Church of Wide Fellowship, ing categories appearing in the commission’s records: victim cov ered by shooter swinging his weapon toward game, victim moving into line of fire, crossing log with loaded gun, unloading defective gun, victim out of sight of shooter, removing loaded weapon from car, crossing fence with loaded gun, ricochet, trigger caught on brush, victim mistaken for game, weapon falling from in secure rest, and horseplay. gave the invocation at the open ing of the meeting.

PROTECTION Strip cropping protects against both wind and water erosion. It can be used on sandy and shallow stoney soil where terracing is not practical. It is also quite effective on slopes too steep for terraces and on land so nearly level that terraces are not necessary. It is generally used without terraces, but on extremely erodable soils it may be used with terraces. xn NEW FORDS — Among models in the 1961 Ford line are the Galaxie Club Victoria (top) and the nine-passenger Country Squire station wagon (below).
