I “YOtJR FRIENDLY CHEVROLET DEALER" I Warning Is Given On Haying Hazards i “Approach of the haying season on America’s farms ushers in that per iod of the year when accidents to farm people occur most frequently,” C. W. Overman, Chowan County ageht for the State College Extension Ser vice, asserted today. According to records of the 'Nation al Safety Council, the peak of such accidents is reached in July and Aug ust Therefore farm people need to take extra precautions to insure saf ety at this time of the year. Haying machinery especially is important be cause it is usually operated with high speed gears and cutting mechanism. To reduce hazards and avoid dis astrous losses, Mr. Overman suggested the following steps 1. Carefully check all equipment for defective hitches, ropes, pulleys, lifts, hay racks or ladders. Loft floors should be put in good repair and hay chutes guarded. 2. Make starts and stops gradual ly in all haying operations and watch out for falls from hay racks, hay stacks and hay mows. 3. Machinery should be • stopped and thrown out of gear before oil ing, adjusting or unclogging, and safety guards should be kept in place at all times. 4. 'Pitchforks are dangerous; al ways place them where they are in plain sight of all workers. Never throw a pitchfork. 5. Do not wear loose or ragged clothing which may catch easily in moving machinery. 6. Damp hay is one of the prin ciple causes of barn fires. There fore, be sure that the hay is well cured. Check regularly for several weeks for any signs of heating. N.C. Safety Program Is Showing Progress In Saving Os Lives Year 1948 Expected to Result In Safest on State’s Highways \ , After nearly 11 months of opera tion, North Carolina’s new Highway Safety Program has shown definite signs of progress—progress in the saving of human lives by preventing •A oju niUwUJD, EDENIUN, ti. u, IHLUaUAt, JUNE 10, 1948. needless highway accidents. The 1847 traffic death toll of 836 1 persons killed was 18 per cent lower than the 1846 toll of 1,028 killed. And the 1948 figure through April stands at 186, which is exactly 100 ' fewer deaths than the 286 recorded ’ for the same four months’ period ; in 1947. Officials of the Motor Vehicles De partment are encouraged at the dec rease in highway fatalities and point i out that if the current trend con tinues, the death figure at the end of the year will probably be some where around 600. Even that is far too many lives lost, but it will show definite improvement over 1947, and will likely make 1948 the safest year on record for North Carolina on the , basis of the number of vehicles now on the roads. Latest registration figures show there are 829,860 vehicles on the roads, while last year at the same time there were around 56,000 less. Officials point out that full credit for the reduction in highway deaths should go to the motoring public of North Carolina, who have cooperated with the new Highway Safety Pro gram passed by the last General As " sembly. The program with its new laws calling for mechanical inspec tion of vehicles, driver re-examina tion, doubled force of'highway patrol men, stiffer penalties for certain traffic violations, and a financial res ponsibility act, has tended to make "PART* NEW*" V R I McLEAN I MAY I sir \ i t ON your \ V_ RIGHT ftEENTON^PfIRTSI 111 WHOLESALE L RETAIL-PARTS U ACCESSORIES II IVc kcuH, d - ij 427 S.BROAD ST.• PHONE 440 • EDENTON-N.C.

I M : ‘$ EDENTON, N. C I the motoring public more “aafety conscious.” All phases of .the new program are now in operation. Perhaps the “most talked-about” law passed by the 1947 General Assembly was the Mechanical Inspection Law, which is proving to be a big factor in the prevention of accidents. Since the law went into, force in January, 36 inspection lanes operat ing throughout the State have in spected 171,110 vehicles. Some of the vehicles had to visit the lanes more than once to get their approved stickers, thus requiring 262,421 total inspections. A report from the Mech anical- fpspection Division of the De partment of Motor Vehicles, shows that 61.4 per cent of the vehicles in spected have been approved on the initial check, while the remaining 48.6 per cent have been found defec tive and have had to return to the lane for a second check. Twenty-seven per cent of all re jections have been for faulty head lights; 29 per cent for other lighting defects; 18 per cent for braking in adequacies; 12 per cent for faulty steering mechanisms; and 14 per cent for all other defects, such as mirrors, horns, windshield wipers, glass and exhaust system. It -is_ easy to know and do right. When in doubt simply do whatever you least want to do. —Anon. / OF COURSE NOT SILLY- f I I'M GOING TO / \EAT WITH IT. / DONT oeuw IN oeAUNGwrm EDENTON AUTO PARIS jnWRMHTINW North Carolina Schools There are busy years ahead for North Carolina’s little red school house, says Dr. Selz C. Mayo, associ ate professor of rural sociology at the North Carolina Agricultural Ex periment Station. Dr. Mayo recently computed esti mates of the number of new first graders that white and non-white schools might expect during the next six years. He concludes that in 1964 first grader enrollment in white schools will be half again as large as it wah in 1946. In non-white schools there will be a third more new first graders in 1964 than in 1946.
