SECTION ONE— Motor Vehicle Dept Moves To Acquaint Public With New Law Driver Must Prove Abil ity To Meet Damage Claims To SII,OOO The State Department of Motor Ve hicles will move swiftly beginning this week toward firm enforcement of North Carolina’s new Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law, which be comes effective on January 1. The initial steps looking toward complete enforcement on the statu tory effective date were announced as follows: 1. The department has prepared a small leaflet explaining essential de tails about the law which motorists may pick up at any gasoline station, without cost. 2. Motor Vehicles Commissioner Edward Scheidt recently addressed the people of North Carolina by radio in the first official explanation of how the new law will operate. 3. Throughout the month of Decem ber, through the cooperation of the press and radio of North Carolina, the Department of Motor Vehicles will keep the public, and particularly the motorists, advised about various phases of the law up to the hour en forcement begins. The new law, which was enacted by the last session of the legislature, requires the automatic suspension of a driver’s license if he is involved in a traffic accident and fails to furnish satisfactory proof of his ability to meet damage claims up to SII,OOO. Forty-three other states have en acted the same type of law. Shortage Os Food Is Revealed By Soviets A new Moscow decree intended to increase food production proves the marked contrast between American private enterprise and Sovietized in dustry, according to the Crusade for Freedom. The Crusade, through which the American people support Radio Free Europe, said the decree was described as “evidence of untiring concern of the Party for raising living stand ards.” However, the Crusade quoted com parative figures on U. S. production byway of Contrast. By 1956 Soviet State industry is supposed to bring meat output up to 3 million tons. United States meat production, in 1951, totaled 10.9 mil lion tons. Cigarette production in Russia “will be boosted to 200 billion, 50 per cent more than in 1950.” Dur ing 1951, U. S. cigarettes totaled 418.8 billion, and 5.8 billion cigars were produced. Dairy butter output, the Soviet de crees, is to reach 650 thousand tons in 1956, “twice as much as in 1950.” Tn 1950 close to 700 thousand tons of butter were produced in this country, plus about 500 thousand tons of oleo margarine. The communist production target marks 160 thousand tons of cheese for 1956; whereas, in 1950 we produced some 600 thousand tons of that com modity. ——: LONG before she Iron Horse snorted its way across the western prairies, passenger travel was a hazardous affair and not to be lightly under* taken.

Queen Street PHONE 147 Edenton, N. C. — • •• • • * THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C.. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1068. How ready we are to blame the other fellow for a short-coming of our own.

Almost everyone does it—excepting successful folks. If they make excuses at all, they make excuses for the other fellow, and ac cept the responsibility for error them selves. If we would spring to the defense of others as swiftly as we make excuses for our snort-comings, this would be a happy world, indeed.
