still lots of work to be done,
before he will put the barbecue

barbecuing the meat, takes It's

Start The New
Year Ofi Right
A New Year's resolution to
make yourself a better driver in
1968 will lessen your chances
of crashing into one of the
thousand - off traffic accidents
which the N. C, Motor Club warns
may take up to 27 lives onNorth
Carolina's streets and highways
during the long holiday weekend.
The state will officially count
its New Year's traffic toll from
6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 29, through
midnight Monday, Jan. 1, a 78
hour period. In the same 1966
67 period a record-breaking 29
persons were killed and 595 in
jured In 1,029 accidents. Leading
driver violations were: speed
ing, 245, failure to yield the right
of way, 136; and driving left of
center, 125.
"Let's start the New Year
off right and hold traffic fatali
ties to a bare minimum on this
first holiday weekend of 1968,"
Thomas B. Watklns, president
of the' motor club, urged.

People come from far and near
to get Glenn's barbecue, some eat
it there, others buy it by the pound
and take it to their homes. Many
people passing through Hertford,
have stopped and eaten at Glenn's
and have returned to buy the
barbecue on many occasions.
