C., a boy, Aug. 24. 10^ \ One thing Americans didn’t need back in 1776 was a statue of King George III What they did need was ammunition. So on the evening of July 9, 1776, a crowd gathered and toppled the four-thousand-pound statue. Then, adding insult to injury, they melted it down to manufacture exactly 42,088 bullets. That was one way Americans tmk care of their country’s needs. TixJay, over million Americans take care of their country s needs, and their own. by buying U. S. Savings Bonds. ■ Whether bt^ught through the Payroll Savings Plan, or regularly where you save. Bonds add up fast to take care <tf all your needs. Education, retirement, travel, whatever. ^ So buy U. S. Savings Btmds. There’s no limit to what you can save. ’ The North Carolina Highway Patrol wants you to know about a nationwide campaign under way to increase compliance with the 55 mph speed limit law. Since the dry pumps and gas lines have disappeared, motorists are speeding up. But only appearances have changed. There is less fuel today than during the 1974 crisis. We just have access to it now Then there is the safety bonus. Slower speeds reduce the likelihood of accidents and fatalities. It makes sense. Slower speeds mean more reaction time, less braking time, and greater control. Aside from the benefits of slowing down, there is the point of the law. 55 mph is the legal limit and that means the North Carolina Highway Patrol enforces it. 3 © ..it: Tate . s^k . m^^erica. 200 yean at the same locatkMi.
