"Check Your Cor...Check Accidents" Is May Slogan Of Dept. Of Motor Vehicles “Don’t drive a public hazard: You’re on your way to an acci lent if you do.” This is- the advice of the De partment of Motor Vehicles, and ' Check your car . . . check acci dents” is the slogan of the traf fic safety program the Depart ment is sponsoring during May. This activity is part of a con tinuing traffic safety education program in which many local organizations are participating. Each month a different phase of traffic safety is emphasized, a plan which is being followed in cities and states throughout the country in a nation-wide traf fic safety program sponsored Oy the National Safety Council. “Accidents are preventable,” said Arthur T. Moore. Director cf the Mechanical Inspection Divi sion of the Department of Motor Vehicles. "Safety experts agree on this. And if you will just .think about it, you’re bound to agree that one of the simplest ways to help prevent them is to drive a car that’s kept iln safe operating conditioh.” Equipment items suggested as having special relation to safety are: headlights, tail and stop lights, brakes, tires, windshield ; wipers, steering and wheel align- j ment, the muffler and exhaust j system, the windshield and other glass, the rear-view mirror, and horn. Summing up the importance of these car parts to traffic safety. Moore said: “You wouldn't want a lot of cars. Yet headlights, tail and stop lights are the most common rea sons cars can’t pass official in come in each day from our 36 mechanical inspection stations. Windshield wipers not working, glass that is obscured by dirt, cracks or stickers, and an obscur ed rearview* mirror are other things that can bllind a driver.” Moore stated that North Caro lina is stressing SEEING. STEER ING AND STOPPING in its of ficial mechanical inspection pro gram, and added that “Brakes often save lives. Keep them in good repair for your' own sake and the safety of others.” “The importance of safe steer ing.” he said, “is obvious. Don't take it for granted. Have the steering assembly and wheel alignment checked regularly ” “Not enough people realize the importance of the muffler and exhaust system. Almost anyone knows repairs are needed when the muffler gets noisy. But long before that happens you may have deadly carbon monoxide ga^ leaking into the car. It doesn't happen ' often—but once is enough. Don't take a chance.” Moore added that “to put your car on good footing you need properly inflated tires that are well mated and have good treads. Don't invite a blowout by run ning your car on worn-out tires.” CHECK YOUR CAR. . . . CHECK ACCIDENTS. Comments On Sports By Ed Sims BASEBALL The Yankees and Cardinals have held true to predicted form in the first month of major lea gue operations, but other than those two teams, the pennant scrambles are full of surprises. The Cards appear on the way to a pennant, but despite their traditional rolling-stone improve ments as the season stretches out. this year they have not one. but four serious contenders. And either Brooklyn. New York or Pittsburgh might turn out to be tougher than most scribes figured. At this point, it might be well to give the nod to the Red Birds, but with more qualifications than in past yeais when they got off to a fast start. Boston may well turn red hot lat er in the year. Pittsburgh’s Pir ates may continue their impres sive play. * Brooklyn can never be count ed out this early, and the Giants, if they get good twirling, are a real threat this year for the first time in years. Thus even if the Cards pile up a nice lead by July 4th. it won't be safe to sit back and plan on a October trip to St. Louis. This year the first should go right down to the wire. Whtle the Yankees have look ed good enough to cop the flag in the junior circuit. Cleveland and Philadelphia have bobbed up tougher than expected. Cleveland now seems to be a definite threat to Bucky Harris and Connie Mack has his Athletics cutting up all over the league. Mack has turned up with a hitting team, when everyone figured all he had was a nice hurling corps. Though the Tigers are tradi tionally late starters, it seems they can't be considered a threat this year. They actually have a tpam which has rattled off hits at a surprising rate, but some thing is missing from the Ben gal's lineup. They don't seem to win the crucial games—that is the gmes with the major con tenders. And that's how the Tig ers formerlly won pennants. The Red Sox are a surprise— in a sad way to Sox fame. Marse Joe McCarthy, who had such an enviable record with the Yank ees. doesn’t seem to hold any charm over Red Sox players. Maybe Marse Joe can get his men started later, but he doesn't have ’em clicking anything like championship style at present. Later in the year when the Res Sox and the Yankees tangle n their famous feuds—the tip-off will out. If McCarthy can whip the Yanks, he may pull his boys back into the fight. About the Mackmen — we'll have to wait a while longer. A lot of folks want Connie to win a pennant this year. It seems he has a better chance than at any time since the early thirties. For sentimental reasons, one hopeful wish for the Athletics, and a great big cheer for Connie Mack. Agnes Ellen Named To Society Office Society elections at Woman's College in Greensboro have been completed with Agnes Ellen, of Enfield, elected senior book ex change chairman of the Adelph ian society. Four societies. Adel phina. Cornelian. Altheian and ikean. held elections. Liquor Sales In County Drop From Last Year Liquor sales were up last month, but. State ABC officials said pointedly, the increase was due solely to the comparative newcomers to ABC ranks. Halifax County suffered a drop from April sales of a year ago.

While the delegates to the County Convention were caucus ing, a motion was made by Eric W. Rodgers to the effect that af ter the nominees for the perma nent committees to be named by the State Convention were select ed. Julian Allsbrook be named spokesman to place the nomina tions beore the various cau suses which will be held at Raleigh prior to the State Convention. This motion was carried. This followed the same procedure as has been followed in the past in naming a spokes man to present the various con vention committee nominations except that the caucus in the past generally had been held in some room at the hotel after the delegates arrived in Raleigh. It was explained that their selec tion at this meeting would elim inate a great deal of the con fusion which generally precedes the convention in roundinig up the delegates to one place. The delegates of course will attend the various district and other types of caucuses which will be held prior to the State Convention.
