TIP t ROM THE PROFESSIONAL DRIVER? The main thing on
children'! minis in the summertime is play. The street is just as
much a playground to them as a vacant lot is, so it's up to all of us
?rivers to watch out (or the kids all day long now that school is out.
School Children Safety
Hazard During Summer
Raleigh ? "Vacationing school
children are an added road haz
ard i/i the spring and summer
and motor vehicle operator*
should be watchful for them,"
Mr. Webster Henry. President of
the North Carolina Motor Car
riers Association announced to
day.
"As a reminder to truck driv
ers," the industry official said,
"the NCMCA is sending its June
Courtesy and Safety Campaign
poster to member truck compan
ies throughout the state. The
poster legend is " 'School's Out
? Be Careful When (Children)
Are Careless'."
"It's true that parents must
show their children how to play
safely off the street and caution
them not to play or act foolishly
or. the street. But you and I
know that when the bridle of
school supervision is thrown off,
youngsters will often toss caution
to the winds. Whatever the rea
sons are," he continued, "it's up
to u.i drivers to defend ourselves
and the children from such care
lessness."
"Besides general watchful
ness," Mr. Henry concluded,
"there are some specific, easily
done things we must do to pro
tect our 'wild life' ? We must
rigidly keep within the posted
speed limits in neighborhoods,
playgrounds and parks. We must
give a wide berth to bicyclists
and people walking on the open
highway. And remember the
technique of the professional
driver: if a ball, hoop, tire, etc.
comes into view in the street
ahead, hit the brakes. Some per
son, possibly a child, is likely to
chase such an object into the
path of your vehicle.'*
Library Story
Hours Arranged
Mr. Homer Brown, librarian at
Watauga County Library, has ar
ranged with a class in Library
Science at A. S. T. C. to start a
series of .Saturday morning story
hours beginning June 20 at 10:00
o'clock. Children from six to ten
years of age are invited to come
each Saturday to the library and
enjoy these story-telling sessions.
Different story-tellers will pre
sent the program each time and
a variety of entertainment will
be planned. Parents of these
young children are urged to Re
mind them of this opportunity
to hear their old favorites and
perhaps some exciting new stor
ies as well. .
The Commerce Dept. acts to re
vitalize the U. S. merchant mar
ine.
There's only one answer. . .
Chevrolet trades
must be the best buy!
Fleet operators, farmers, independent trucker* ? truck users everywhere?
buy more Chevrolets than any other make. There can be only one reason
for that: Chevrolet trucks offer more of what you want.
As the official registration figures keep roll
ing in, they keep telling the same positive
story about truck popularity and truck value:
Again in 1953, for the twelfth straight pro
duction year, truck buyers show a clear-cut
and decisive preference for Chevrolet trucks.
If you're a truck user, this fact is mighty
important to you. Why? Well, as you know,
trucks are built and bought for just one
reason? to do a job. So isn't it logical then
that since Chevrolet trucks odt.iell all others,
they must do a belter job at lower cost?
That's why it will pay you to stop in and
see us before you buy your next truck.
MORE CHEVROLET TRUCKS IN USE THAN ANY OTHER MAKE!

Pulitzer Prize
Three Tar Heel newimen. two I
of them winners this year of I
Pulitzer prize*, received awards 1
last week in New York City for.
their coverage of Ku Klux Klan
activities in southeastern North!
Carolina last year. I
Winners of the Sidney Hillman
Foundation awards of $500 each
were Willard Cole, editor of the
Whiteville News and a former '
Winston-Salem Journal newsman;
Horace Carter, editor of the Ta
bor City Tribune; and Jay Jen
kins, a reporter for the Raleigh
News and Observer.
Mr, Cole, a North Wilkbsboro
native and former editor of the
Journal-Patroit at North Wilkes
boro, and Mr. Carter received
Pulitzer prizes several months
ago for their newspaper cam
paign which helped smash the
Klan in the southeastern part of
the state last year.
The awards, presented at a
luncheon at the Hotel Biltmore
in New York City last week,
were for outstanding journalism
in exposing Klan activities.
Principal speaker at the lunch
eon was Jonathan Daniels, edi
tor of the News and Observer,
who told the gathering that the
evil spirit of the Ku Klux Klan
is not as bad as the intolerant
attitude shown by some U. S.
senators.
Mr. Daniels nominated Mr.
Cole and Mr. Carter for the Pul
itzer prizes that they won.
The speaker said that "patriot
ism for politics" is a more dan
gerous force than "country hood
lums" masked in "bedsheets."
In an apparent reference to
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, Mr.
Daniels said:
"The senator who wore con
gressional immunity like a mask
when he dared question the
loyalty of Gen. George C. Mar
shall was meaner and more
cowardly than any dolt in a sheet
or a sack. The same is true of
those who bring unsupported
charges against men and organi
zations, universities."
He said that "in terms of toler
ance in America today, all of us
live close to danger."
Mr. Cole, 46, began has news
paper career at a reporter? in
North WUkesboro at the age of
