No accidents of any kind have been reported, they said, and co operation is splendid. The people seem to realize that safe and care ful driving is necessary, a patro’ man said, and motorists are fol lowing the instructions to the let ter. The newly established zones were placed into effect Monday night. The regulation requires all motorists to drive with parking lights only and not faster than 15 miles an hour. The zones are: On highway 74-76 to Wrightsvilie Beach—at the curve ahead of the entrance to Airlee, continuing to Wrightsvilie Beach.

We suggest that this be investigated and proper steps be taken to discontinue the practice.” The grand jury said reports from justices of the peace had been examined and that all of them had rendered reports except F. G. Fowler.

JUNIOR MISSES and WOMEN SIZES Mayor Fergus Opposes Dimming Of Lights Only Along Atlantic Seaboard After reading a report of Army, Navy and Civilian Defense offi cials on inspection of the dimming out situation along the coast, May or R. C. Fergus of Carolina Beach declared he objected to “the lights along the shore lines of the At lantic Seaboard being the only sec tion penalized.” The inspection covered an area from Corncake Inlet to a point about five miles north of Wrights ville Beach. Mayor Fergus’ statement Wed nesday follows: “I feel as a public official that the dim-out of coastal resort lights along the Atlantic seaboard is an important thing, and that we must cooperate with the armed forces in the matter. ‘However, we cannot complete the program successfully as long as the lights from the shipyards provide a beacon that is much brighter than the beach lights. There has been no indication from the War department that the ship yard lights will be dimmed. “I strenuously object to the lights along the shore lines of the Atlan tic seaboard being the only section penalized. We are in a war, and think that everyone should do his part. “If dimming the lights along the coastal resorts will aid the gov ernment in its efforts, we stand ready to do our part. I do think that the other scources of illumi nation should be dimmed out, how ever.” Mayor Fergus’ remarks were made following the receipt of a letter from W. F. Nufer, assistant director of civilian defense, to Gov ernor Broughton, a copy being for warded to If.r. Fergus. The text of the letter follows: “I beg to report as follows on the dimming-out situation along the coast. Col. D. C. France, Cap tain Thresher of the Corps at Wil min*;on, the chiefs of police of Wrightsville Beach and Carolina Beach, and I made an inspection trip from Corncake Inlet, south of Carolina Beach to a point along the coast five miles north ol Wrightsville Beach. “As a result of this inspection we were in agreement that further dimming of lights at Kure’s Beach and Carolina Beach, particularly in the business section, were es sential. Also the above applies to Wrightsville Beach, particularly street lights which were partially dimmed out but appeared unsatis factory from the sea. “The worst lumes were observed from the shipyards at Wilmington and from Camp Davis. It would seem essential that some measures be taken to shade flood lights and to reduce the total amount of il lumination at both these points as ships can be very readily silhouet ted from both these points. “The local authorities were very cooperative and I feel sure that they will attend to street lighting as well as business and home light ing in their respective communi ties. However, the State Highway Commission has not passed its or dinance in regard to dimming lights and reduction of speed on roads near the coast, and it was agreed among the members of our inspection party that this should oe done immediately, as highway lighting provides the worst glow that we noticed. This is particul arly true of roads pointed toward the ocean, although roads parallel ing the ocean are also very notice able.” The letter was dated May 9, and on May 10, the state highway com mission began enforcement of the dim-out and slow, zones along the coast. \T OP A May Abandon Twilight Zone WASHINGTON, May 13 — MB — Gasoline rationing officials said to day the 50-mile “twilight zone’’ along the Western fringe of the gasoline rationing area would be eliminated in an order shortly to be announced. As originally drawn, the Office of Price Administration’s regula tions provided that persons living in the rationing states could not buy gasoline in the 50-mile wide strip without using a ration card. This was intended to discourage trips “across the border” for un limited gasoline supplies. However, OPA’s week - end de cision to exempt 93 counties in several of the ration states appear ed likely to complicate administra tion of the order, officials said, to such an extent that it was decided to abandon the entire “twilight zone.” Older folks ( soy it’s common sense..
