If plana for the construction of a

Federal Government, and thlv remsia
inrtwe-thisds from atata and county
treasuries. Ordinarily, the state
wjrald furnish one-third sad the
county match it. Since Pitt is n
aidmred oae ef the wealthier counties
in North Carolina, it is quite likely
that the coonty will he called upon
to furnish slightly more than one
third. At any rate, the sum which
interested - Farmville citizens propose
Ijp offer as- an inducement for con
straction of the hospital in this com
munity will be roughly .one-third of
the sum Pitt must furnish.
Leaders of the move to lay at least
ttMUXX) on the line when the *>""?
comes feel that Farmville Is entitled
to have located within her linm-flato
area at least-one of the tax-support
ed improvements to which persons in
the community have contributed.
Should any of 'the other towns or
?onunuaitiss better Farmvilla's-offer,
an entirely -different situation will
exist but unless and until the offer
is bettered these leaders feel that
this community k entitled to first
consideration when the county execu
tives must finally decide where the
ew hospital will be located.
Tncksd away in one corner of the
county, Farmville is not as centrally
located as a county-wide center
should be. That much is admitted.
Ihttit is felt that tbh generous offer
to pay one-third of the cost, which
would lower the levy. on other sec
ot an otf-ceater location.

I The period beginning January 1,

be the time tor all operators whose
surnames begin with the letters C or

ses. All motor vehicle drivers,
surnames begin with a Jotter other
than A, B, C, or D will be notified
by press releases at the proper time
to when they should appear for
the re-examination.
The operator's license issued under
the 1947 Safety Act shall automati
cally expire on the birthday of the
license in the fourth year following
tire year of issuance, and no license
shall be issued to any operator after
the expiration of his license until
operator has again passed the
required examination.
Everyone wijl get a complete ex
amination, made up of four parts:
h<l) Ei* tost; (2 Highway sign test;
(3) Driving rules test, aad (4) Road
The poorest visual reading that
will permit passing with glasses is
20-60. This may be with both eyes
together, or it may be with best eye
The sign test consists of the show
ing to the applicant several pictures
containing highway warning rigna.
The driver will be requested to toH
what a driver should do when he
comes to such a sign. Inability to
read is hot grounds for denying a
driver license. ;
, The rule section of the examina
tion consists of 26 simple questions
that deal with the safe operation of
a motor vehicle.
The road test will consist of a
drive of sorrie 12 to 15 city blocks. In
the past some applicants have begun
road tests with the understanding
that the examiner would tell him to
pass red lights, exceed gpeed limits,
and otherwise drive improperly. This,
however, has not been the policy in
North Carolina, nor will it bo during
the re-issuance. i,; . ^ .
Previous practices of governing]
the issuance and uae of learners' per
mits will not be changed. The only]
change that will oosgs with. nape
