A friend told me the law says I must have one. Is this true ? Z.E.R.—Morehead City. Yes, the Motor Vehicle Manual states that every motor vehicle op erated on the highway must have a horn. This horn must produce a warn ing sound audible at a distance of at least 200 feet. Furthermore, the book says horns should not emit harsh or unreasonably loud sounds. Which is another way of saying com pression whistles, sirens, or other noisy devices are prohibited on pri vate motor vehicles. Education is our only political safe ty.

Edentni Acts lie WAamston 6 To 6 John Whitson Races 31 Yards for Edenton’s Touchdown Coach Bun Perry’s Edenton Aces were forced to return home from Wil liamston Friday night with a 6-6 tie game. The Aces got off to a sluggish start and it was not until the second half until they began to click. Williamston scored a touchdown late in the second quarter climaxing a 77-yard march when Billy Glover crashed over from the two-yard line. During the drive Bobby Mobley, Bill Lassiter and Jake Zeamon alternated in adding yardage. In the third quarter the Aces look ed more like themselves and early in the fourth quarter they scored a touchdown. Starting at the William ston 38, the Aces in four plays chalk ed up a touchdown. The drive was sparked by John Earl Whitson, who gained the majority of yardage and thrilled Edenton fans when he spotted a hole in the Green Wave line and raced 31 yards to score. The Aces again threatened when they advanced to the Williamston 35, but lost the ball on a fumble. Out of the Aces’ lineup were Robert Twiddy, Sonny Wright and Ray Rog erson, who are on the injured list. Jimmy Harrison was also forced to leave the gams early in the second quarter due to an ankle injury. Bill Hardison at center was easily the outstanding defensive flayer for the Aces, while Cecil Miller and Ted Wright played a splendid brand of ball. For Williamston, Glover and Lassi ter were best on offense and Har ris, Carraway and Perry looked best on defense. FACT S 7 !
