IIHITFOUD IL11DX1 & SUPPLY CO. "TRADE SERB AND BANK THE DIFFERENCE : HERTFORD, N. C. ' f After nearly 11 months of oDera- tion, North Carolina's new Highway Safety Program has i shown definite signs of progress-i-progress in the saving of human lives ,by preventing needless highway accidents. The 1947 traffic death toll of 836 persons killed was 19 per cent lower than the 1946 toll of 1,028 killed, And the 1948 figure through April stands at 186, which is" exactly 100 fewer deaths than the 286 recorded for the same four months' period in 1947. i Officials of the Motor Vehicles De: partment are encouraged at the dec rease in highway fatalities and point out that if the current trend con tinues, the death figure at the end of the year will probably be some where around 600. Even that is far too many lives lost, but it will show definite 'improvement over 1947, and will likely make 1948. the safest year on record for North Carolina on the basis of the number of vehicles now on the roads. Latest registration figures show there are 829,850 vehicles on the roads, while last year at' the same time there were around 56,00.0 less Officials point out that full credit for the reduction in highway deaths should go to the motoring public of North Carolina, who have cooperated with the new Highway Safety Pro gram passed by the last General As sembly. The program with its new laws calling for mechanical inspec tion of vehicles, driver re-examina tion, doubled force of highway patrol men, stiller penalties for certain traffic violations, and a financial res ponsibility act, has tended to make the motoring public more "safety- conscious. Ail phases of the new program are, now In operation. Perhaps the "most talked-about" law passed by the 1947 General Assembly ' was the Mechanical Inspection Law, which is proving to be a big factor in the prevention of accidents. Since the law went into force in January, 36 inspection lanes operat ing throughout the State have in spected 171,110 vehicles. Some of the vehicles had to visit the 'lanes more than once to get their approved stickers, thus requiring 252,421 total inspections. A report from tfce Mech anical Inspection Division of the De partment of Motor Vehicles, shows that 51.4 per cent of the vehicles in spected have been approved on the initial check, while the remaining 48.6 pe cent have been found defec tive and have had to return to the lane for a second check. Twenty-seven per cent of all re jections have been for faulty head lights; 29 per cent for other lighting defects; 18 per cent for braking in adequacies; 12 per cent for faulty steering mechanisms; and 14 per cent for all other defects, such as mirrors, horns, windshield wipers glass and exhaust system. pot cotton prices declined around 1.25 per bale during last week. In quiries were less numerous and the volume of spot sales declined. Most of the; domestic mills repiained out of the market However, purchases fqr the export program were fairly heavy. Middling 1516 inch cotton averaged 37.75 cents per pound in the ten spot markets on Friday, May 28. ' This compares with 38.00, i cents a' week earlier and 36.12 a year ago. Reported sales in the ten markets decreased and totaled only 38.000 bales Compared with 58,300 a week earlier and 47,700 a year ago. ' , - Vets Again Allowed : CORRECTION.' ,r ; In. last week's' iaaue in th story concerninif closinir exerclaM t Pi quimans Central Grammar School, it was reported that Principal J. P. Snipes, was presented a watch by the staff of the school. This was partial error, as the report should lhave i. - - .i. ty error, i beenu the watch was presented by the students and staff of the school. ; Full Week Schooling Heavy Rains Monday Slows Farm Work Farm work, planting and cultivat ing was set back somewhat during this week because of the heavy rains which fell in the county during the week-end. Rainfall here Monday capped off a three-day series of showers and the storm late Monday evening was the heaviest recorded this year. Water was reported overflowing most of the ditches in, the county and in Hertford several streets were flooded tempor arily by the heavy downpour.

Al f ord, district officer of the State Vet erans Commission. . . 'v ' "'"''' The Veterans Education1 Commit tee, the State approving agency for all on-the-job training and educa tional institutions 'training former service men under the GI Bill, at its last meeting modified its ruling on this matter. UntiL this change, the vjuis ntyu 10 uie ruie mat a scnooi will not be approved for more than 15 hours per week if it is planned for veterans who are regularly employed on a iuii time basis. Inquiries at a number, of night schools for veterans have disclosed that veterans holding down regular jobs and with families to support have excellent records as to grades and attendance. This was particular ly true in vocational courses.
