Boate, accident prevention department manager of the Associa tion of Casualty and Surety Compan ies, warns. . i , , . Commenting on results of the re cently completed Seventh Annual Nat ional High School Driver Education Award Procrram. Mr. Boate noted that while 16 states have been given quality of these chicks and the man' :ed at any &tor i 2.r Nor "oik lie or Portsmouth on October ih or 9Ji.? It is all part of the promotion forifi the annual Norfolk-Portsmouth Good Neighbor Days. R.

One of the biggest headaches of the market egg industry fluctuating of the supply of eggs during the year- can now be eliminated, K. S. Dear styne, head of the Poultry Department at State College, has announced, Contrary to what egg producers have always believed, 62-week produc tion is a distinct possibility if two thirds of the chicks for layers are started in the spring and one-third In the autumn. Dearstyne says that the poultryman should begin thinking now about Octo-ber-or-November-hatched chicks. The awards for outstanding quality in their driver training programs, there are still only 15 states in the country where all of the schools oiienng courses-meet minimum standards set up by the National Education Asso ciation. In all other states, Mr. Boate said, there are some schools whose courses fail to measure up either in the classroo:n or practice driving phases or both 'That so many schools are offering sub-standard courses," Mr. Boate said, "is part of the reason for the fact hat . there were actually fewer students en rolled in driver education courses dur ing 1953-54 than in the previous year. It is also part of the reason that vir tually no new schools joined the list of those offering driver education dur ing 1953-54." : Mr. Boate emphasized that "if we are ever to stop the horrifying rise in highway fatalities, we must get to the new drivers before they ever start driving." He said the "hit or miss' methods by which most of today's adult drivers learned to drive are no longer sufficient because "as recently ' as 1945 there were only 30,000,000 cars on America's highways; today there are 55,000,000; by the end of next year there will be 60,000.000, bringing the total increase in the past ten years to 100 per cent" He added that there has not been, nor is there likely to be, an appreciable compara tive increase in the number of miles of highway in the country. Mr. Boae said an improvement in the quality of driver education cour es will result in an increase in quan tity as educators become convinced Children picture1 Contest n r agement given them will be the decid ing factor as far as profits are con There are plenty of these ' chicks produced by North Carolina hatcheries but it is necessary that producers place their orders far in advance ofi the time desired for delivery.' The Poultry specialist emphasized that the poultryman should not be too much concerned about developing autumn-hatched chicks because no real problem was encountered in develop ing these chicks at the Test Farms at Waynesville, ' Willard, or KaleighMn research work conducted by the iuc-i periment Station. - hVissGocdltjigfcr To Visit Wcrd ' Friday, October 1st is going to be a lucky day for some 'local residents. For on that day "Miss Good Neigh bor" will be in town to distribute $5 bills. '' : Of course, the bills she distributes will not be Uncle Sam's $5 bills but they will be just as good if they are 1 promotion. "It is not our, plan to draw trade from the local merchants in our neigh boring towns, but rather to point out to our good neighbors that Norfolk and Portsmouth are better places to shop for .those hard-to-get articles than the other large cities where they may have been shopping." No defi nite time has been set for the visit on Friday but a one-car delegation con taining Miss Good Neighbor and re porters and photographers will visit the town some time that day to pay an official call on the Mayor and then go into the shopping area to distribute the Good Neighbor cash to unsuspect ing residents. These $5 certificates may be used toward the payment of merchandise purchased on October 8th or 9th in any retail store in Norfolk or Ports mouth but will not be accepted as payment for mail orders, as a de posit on time payment merchandise, or on payment of accounts. It is trans- tenable, however, so that if the re cipient cannot use it she can give it to a mend or relative to bring to Nor folk and Portsmouth.
