Vi . vision of the North Carolina DepaTtafant ftt.,Vt!ti)''J-: , said today, "are the words that the public Is applying to youth- . ful. drivers with ever-Increasing -frequency and vehemence. : And, yet -- as in practically all such cases silch descrip- 1 tlons apply only to a small but conspldous minority." . iV.. ,.n "A study of drivers some time ago," Fisher- cohtmued, i V? Indicated that drivers between 18 and 24 years old account ; for only 13 per cent of the drivers on the road, but they were 4. involved In about 27 per-cent of all fatal ' irafflc accldenis ' and about 22 per cent of all non-fatal accidents' ... 9 It would appear," he added, "that drivers In this group ' arc having about SO per cent more accidents than they might be expected to have." i ' Inexperience coupled with Immaturity are blamed by the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles for this off balance accident record of the young drivers. Of these two - factors, immaturity far out-ranks inexperience - as the more dangerous. ' .' "Adequate' formal training In correct driving -attitudes, ; behlnd-the-wheel training, and a good example by older drivers is the three-pronged attack on fhe problem that must be taken," Fisher said. ' "Until this three-way approach, is universally accepted," he continued, "all of us -- young and old alike -- must suffer . the penalties. The Immature teen-age drivers will continue to kill themselves at a high rate and take a lot of older folk with them. 'V4'.!' . "Parents will continue to suffer both' emotionally and financially when these drivers are out in the family car. Worst of all, bad youthful drivers seldom Improve with age. Their faults are carried on through life and they become, In effect, 'carriers" of bad driving - influencing others around them to indulge In the same unsafe practices." Fisher offered the following tips for young drivers and . their parents: ' 1 - Young- Drivers: Nearly three-fourths of your life is still ahead of you. More than 201 individuals In your age brack et (15-24), however, died last year in automobiles. Are -you prepared to gamble 40 to SO years of happiness against an : ! hour of "excitement" In a fast, reckless-ride? 2 - Parents: Drive as you would have your child drive. Teach him correct attitudes when driving. If it becomes ap- parent to you that your son's or daughter's driving is Immature, reckless, or indicative of an unhealthy attitude, It is your duty to him and to those whom he endangers td deny his use of .'" . the family car until he can demonstrate to your satisfaction that be has improved.

The uc flood control-hydro-electric x,?er vs. private power companies "w could be solved very simply If :h sides woujd get the knives out of their hands and work together, In a speech last Week at Fayette . .Ue,' Governor Scott took another Lackhanded swipe at, the power companies , - for what he . called "lack' of vision". vw-z-.i-X, j".-;-And at a press conference the next day he said that flood control on the Cape Fear during the past 50- years would have saved more than enough In damaged farm land and crops to have built aU the seven hydro-electric plants Army engineers have recommended for that stream. i-v.-w.-vjv-- Power company spokesmen have pointed out that It is cheaper to buUd steam generating plants than It is to try to operate hydro-electric plants. That Is true, and If power la the only aim It would be foolish to build dams for power. . But no ope has denied the need for flood control. If at the same time more power can be manufac tureed, it's foolish not to do so. But the private power companies don't want the government to go Into competition with them by sell ing power. , , i Since the private companies are given exclusive franchises in their areas and since private power com panies are not expected to foot the bills for flood control -- a simple solution would be for the govern ment to buUd combination flood control-power dams. Then sell the power only to the private compa nies for distribution. Included should be a - provision that this cheap power be used to expand services to "new areas and for re selling to RKAs. Any extra power then would be available for use in regular .channels. ',fe,:'.s:r,i .
