• In every New Bern home where
there are small children, the place
eventually gets cluttered with dis
carded or outgrown playthings.
Itome of these toys and books and
games are in such bad condition
that they are good for nothing ex-
Mpt the trash pile, but many could
still bring joy to a less fortunate
child.
Far too often a parent will sneak
these toys—unwanted but intact—
to the junk heap in order to make
room for more.- Usually, if they
wait for Junior to decide when
something should be thrown away,
it will never happen.
Getting rid of them is practical,
of course, but this can be accom
plished and another tot can be
wade happy at one and the same

time. It’s a little more trouble to
find a child that needs, them, and
cart them o his home, but you’ll
feel better inside if you do just
that.
Most of us are so richly blessed
with the things we want that we
forget there are countless children
right here in Nwe Bern who have
very few toys to play with.
In some instances the parents
are to blame. Certainly an innocent
child can’t be blamed, whatever
the circumstances may be. There
are also situations over which even
parents who are doing their best
have no control.
Toys aren’t the only discarded
items that you can pass along to
underprivileged children. Clothing
is something else that we often
hoard for no sensible reason. When
our kids get too big for their wear
ing apparel it’s high time to start
looking around for some child who
can make good use of hand-me-.
downs.
Wearing a hand-me-down gar
ment is nothing to be ashamed, of,
whether you’re rich or poor. But,
ctlf things considered, the folks
who will probably be most grate
ful are those in dire need. Let’s do
somethihg about it this very day.
It’s all right to love your ene
mies, but don’t give away your
friends to do it.

North Carolina is building
throughout the state limited-access
highways. Some of these highways
are being built in cooperation with
the Federal Government and with
funds partially furnished by the
Federal Government.
A limited-access highway is a
roadway designed particularly for
the movement of through traffic,
upon which cross-traffic has been
eliminated or severely curtailed,
to which entrances and exits are
strictly controlled, and in which
abutting landowners have no ease
ment or right of access different
from that enjoyed by the general
public. Such highway.s are some
times called “freeways,” “thru-
ways,” “express ways,” “parkways”
or “belt-lines.”
A 1957 statute, enacted by the
General Assembly of North Caro
lina, vests in the State Highway
Commission broad powers relating
to the establishment and mainte
nance of limited-access highways.
Such highways are defined in the
statute as “controlled-access facili
ties.”
This 1957 statute, in part, says:
“No person shall have any right
or from abutting lands, except at
of ingress or egress to, from or
across controlled-access facilities to
such designated points at which
access niay be permitted, upon such
terms and conditions as may be spe
cified from time to time by the
Commission.”
The Supreme Court of North Car
olina has said: “Motor car trans
portation is a basic need of modern
society. It is of vital importance
is the social and economic life of
our people. The development of
high speed motor car transporta
tion has brought more and more
traffic congestion and an ever
mounting grisly toll of automobile
accidents. Forty thousand deaths, a
million and one-half injuries, and
two billion dollars worth of prop
erty damage demonstrates the grav
ity of the problem confronting pub
lic highway authorities.”
“It is said that less than 15 per
cent of the mishaps on ordinary
roads will occur on an equal mile-,
age of limited-access highways, and,
while limited-access urban high
ways can easily handle 1,500 vehi
cles per lane hour, only 400 vehi
cles per lane hour can be carried

on ordinary urban streets.”
“The most important private
right involved in limited-access
highway cases is the right of ac
cess to and from the highway by an
abutting landowner. Th4 basic prob
lem in every case involving destruc
tion or impairment of the right of
access is to reconcile the conflict
ing interests—i.e., private versus
public rights. . The construction
of limited-access highways is bound
to cause a dislocation of rights.
Justice demands that these disloca
tions be adjusted in a way that will
be fair to both property owners and
the public.”
The Supreme Court proceeded to
point out that the State Highway
Commission can take “land and any
other property whatsoever” under
its right of eminent domain, which
is the right of a sovereign state to
take or damage private property for
a public purpose on payment of
just compensation. Furthermore,
that abutting landowners are en
titled to compensation for the tak
ing or injury to their right of ac
cess to an existing street or high
way that has been converted into
a limited-access highway.
