{the week. Five years of the most
colossal road-building boom in
state history—$230,000 every
working day, half of it to go to ru
ral primary roads, the other half
to be split between secondary
roads and highways inside mu
nicipalities.
Exactly seven iiays after Gov
ernor Moore’s message to the
General Assembly urging the
road bond plan, the bill to ap
prove it hit the legislative hop-

continuing in force the one cent
per gallon tax which has financ
ed the secondary road bond issue
of 1949.
I am a member of the Senate
Roads Committee and am care
fully watching the bill’s formu
las for allocation of funds within
the 18th Senatorial District. As
proposed, our counties would
share as follows in the $75 mil-
hon allotted to rural secondary
roads, based on their proportion
of the state’s total: Harnett,
$947,800; Hoke, $212,000; Lee
$251,200; Moore, $856,700; Ran
dolph, $1,931,700.
Municipalities woulii share $75
million for improvement of high'
ways within their corporate lim
its, based upon population. Of the
18 incorporated communities in
our five-county district, the
greatest share would go to San
ford ($480,500) and the smallest
to Cameron ($11,700).
The $150 million for rural pri
mary roads would be allocated to
each highway division on the
basis of its proportion of the
state’s total primary highway
mileage. This half of the bond is
sue is of crucial importance in the
18th Senatorial District because
some outdated portions of high
ways such as U. S. 1, 220, 401 and
421 vary in condition from mis
erable to downright dangerous.
When assured that this $300
million road improvement pro
gram will neither bring on new
taxes nor jeopardize the state’s
financial integrity, every One I
have asked has been for it.
Highway Safety Problem
New, safer roads will answer
part of the cries for an all-out at
tack on highway accidents. Leg
islators must tackle the safety
problem from three directions
since hazards of the highway
exist generally in three forms—
the roadway, the vehicle, and the
driver. Safety - engineered road
ways are needed, as are vehicles
in safe operating condition. The
toughest part to legislate on is
the driver. To increase his safety
he must be further educated—or
punished. Too often neither ap
proach has seemed to be the de
sired result.
think we ought to try anything] feller grant and assigned first to
new to stop our slaughter.” Com
ments are invited and new ideas
sure solicited.
Legislative Interns
Ralph Hendren of Southern
Pines and Robert Wicker of San
ford, both undergraduates at
UNC-Chapel Hill, are two of ten
pioneers in a history-making pro
gram in the current legislature.
They are “legislative interns,”
transferred for this school semes
ter to the N. C. Center for Edu
cation in Politics at N. C. State
in Raleigh and assigned to help
senators and representatives in
research, study and the drafting
of legislation.
Selected from six N. C.
colleges, the interns each receive
a $500 grant. They work daily in
the legislature in addition to at
tending classes. At present, two
interns are assisting me in studies
of state policies in the fields of
conservation and women’s rights.
I can attest to their great value to
the legislature and I feel sure
their practical experience is
equipping them for valuable fu
ture service in public life.
This program is a “first” for
any state legislature. I was once
a “government intern” in Wash
ington, operating on a Rocke-
the White House and later to the
Senate. That incomparable ex
perience fills me with a special
interest in the success of the new
intern program at Raleigh.
Honey. Peanuts, Etc.
Mecklenburg produces good
honey, and the lone lady senator,
Martha Evans of Charlotte had a
jar of it on each senate desk last
week to prove it. Eastern Caro
lina grows champion peanuts,
and a bag was on each senator’s
desk last week as evidence, ex
cept that the peanut “lobby”
made the awful mistake of for
getting to give a bag to the sen
ate’s presiding officer. Lieuten
ant Governor Bob Scott. Now the
question is: with our district’s
superlatives ranging from Ken
nedy rocking chairs to bricks to
choice hams and turkeys to soap
and candles, what should we
bring to Raleigh as our “trade
mark’s. Nominations, please!
Bicentennial Approaching
With the 200th anniversary ap
proaching for the Moravian town

1766, there are 40 buildings still
standing of the town’s original

been restored in a continuing his
torical restoration project at Old
Salem in Winston-Salem.

One novel approach I heard of
is this: a “safety sweepstakes” in
which safe drivers can win big
cash bonuses. The plan would
give each licensed driver the op
portunity to buy a $1 ticket an
nually, half of the ticket going
into a giant sweepstakes bowl
held by the state. At the end of
the year if there had been, say
1,000 highway fatalities in North
Carolina, then 1,000 tickets would
be drawn from the bowl. If the
kitty totaled, say, $1 million, then
each winner would receive $1,-
000. The challenge to safer driv
ing would be this; if a winner
was found to have had any traf
fic violation during the year, he
could not collect and his win
nings would be divided among
the others.
“I know this idea sounds like
legalized gambling,” said the au
thor of this plan, “however, I
