John C. Noe 1 Principal
, Speaker at Lions Club
Meeting Monday
John C. Noe of the N. C. Depart- I
ment of Education, Raleigh, was the |
principal speaker at the regular meet
ing of the Edenton Lions Club Mon
day night. Mr. Noe used as his sub
ject “Traffic Safety Through Educa
tion” in urging that local schools
adopt a driver education program. He
pointed out that 94,000 persons were
killed in aH accidents last year and
1,940,000 were injured during the
same period. Traffic accident deaths j
were highest on the list with a total
of 37,300 and home accident deaths ‘
were second with a total of 28,000. J
The cost of traffic accidents from
1946 to 1950 was $300,000,000 \
more than the last North Carolina ,
Legislature appropriated for schools ]
and roads in this State.
Mr. Noe stated that a high school
driver education program would re- '
duce the accident rate by 60 to 75 j
per cent. ‘This community needs a .
driver education program—both class- j
room and behind the wheel training,” .
said Mr. Noe. “The cost is small and !
civic clubs and individuals can fi- 1
nance the program.”
Mr. Noe suggested that a com- ]
mittee from the lions Olub confer
with the principal of the local high '
school in an effort to begin a driver f
training program during the next <
semester. '
Nathan Dafll was m charge of the 4
program and had as his guests Gerald <
D. James, principal of the Edenton
Junior-Senior High School, and W. T. 1
Harry, president of the Rotary drib.
I. E. Ward of Elisabeth City was <
