Commission
Highway Chairman A. H. Graham
reports that the handsome new col
ored tourist maps for 1954 are ready
for distribution.
He said many changes and improve
ments had been made over iast year’s
colored highway map, which have
been printed in four basic colors, red,
blue, green and yellow, plus combina
tions of these colors.
One outside panel titled “North
Carolina Welcomes You” cites the
68,000 miles of State-maintained roads,
of which 33,200 are hardsurfaced. The!
State’s legal speed limits and the coas
tal ferries’ schedules are given. |
Another panel gives an index to the
cities and towns and points of interest.,
The map itself shows US routes in
red, NC and paved routes in blacky
The Blue Ridge Parkway is outlined (
in green. Below the map there’s a
new mileage log giving the distances
between Tar Heel cities. Another
legend gives the approximate mileages
from Raleigh to such out of state
points as San Francisco, 3,056 miles,
and Miami, 855 miles.
On the reverse side of the map are
16 brand-new colored pictures show
ing such tourist attractions as Grand
father Mountain, Biltmore House, Bri
day Veil Falls, Duke University Cha
pel, Pinehurst Golf Course, Wright
Brothers Memorial, Lake Waccamaw,
an ancient shipwreck at Nags Head,
Atlantic Beach, Hatteras Lighthouse,’
Airlie Gardens, State Fair Arena,
horseback riding in the dogwood sea
son, Blue Ridge Parkway, rhododen
dron on Roan Mountain and basket
weavers on Cherokee Indian Reserva
tion. In the center are sketches of
the State Flag, the State Seal, the|
State Flower (Dogwood), and the
State Bird (Cardinal).
Some 200,000 of the attractive new
highway maps have been printed by
the Winston Printing Company. Gra
ham said the Commission already has
a backlog of requests for the colored
tourist maps. However, the maps are
free and may be obtained by writing
direct to the Location Department,
State Highway Commission, Raleigh,
North Carolina.

ency problems that demand immediate
research or educational attention. You i
can’t anticipate all the problems you'
will meet two years in advance, when
budgets are approved. New diseases,,
insects and other factors that have a j
direct influence on your income strike j
quickly and without warning.
“Nickels for Know-How funds are J
immediately available to put the |
forces of research and education at'
work in emergency situations, subject j
to the approval of the N. C. Agricul- j
tural Foundation.” The Foundation.
directorship is made up of farmers i
and farm leaders from every county
in North Carolina.
Colvard has pointed out that Nick
els for Know-How has served to start
new areas to research and education,
or strengthen areas that were inade
quate to meet the needs of the state.
In some cases, after the projects
were started, other funds have been
attracted to take over the work, thus
releasing the flexible Nickels for
Know-How money to meet other press
ing problems.
As a result of Nickels for Know-
How, additional research personnel
have been put to work on major prob
lems in poultry nutrition, poultry
breeding, poultry diseases, evaluation
of cotton varieties, crop stands, chem
ical weed control, vegetable crops, the
effects of pesticides, nematode dam
age, insect damage, marketing and
bloat in livestock. Colvard has re-

I In addition, Nickels for Know-How
has made possible increased educa
tional services to farm people in to
bacco, peanut production, human nu
trition, home demonstration informa
tion, and the use of radio and televi
sion to disseminate new agricultural
information.
Beginning July 1, the directors of
the Foundation approved funds* to
support further research in other cri
tical problems in vegetable crops,
fruit crops, chemical weed control,
dairy marketing, grain marketing,
farm management, tobacco curing, soil
chemistry, forage crops, small grain
breeding, dairy cattle breeding, ani
mal nutrition, entomology, tobacco
insects, forage preservation, genetics,
tobacco diseases, small grain diseases,
soil microbiology and poultry dis-;
eases.
Mr. Overman explains that a two
thirds majority of those voting in the
October 15 election will be necessary
to continue this work.
The question before the voters is
| whether or not they will continue to

expanling agricultural research and
educational program.

“What, Never?”
“Well, hardly ever.” Even the Cap
tain of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Pina
fore” occasionally suffered the pangs
of sea sickness. You don’t die of
this horrible malady. You only wish
you would.
The fact is that modem science in
stead of controlling sea sickness, has
caused it to become more widespread.
More and more ways of traveling have'
been invented, and more and more peo
ple are going places. It is now known :
that it isn’t only sea travel that
brings on that awful feeling in the
pit of the stomach. Planes, trains,
and cars can also be the villains. We
have had to change the name to “mo
.tion sickness.”
I In wartime experiments thousands
'of military personnel suffered in the
'cause of science by being jounced in
| swings, spun in tilting chairs, flown
through turbulent air, and bounced
about in small boats in rough water.
One result of their sacrifice has been
a precise definition of the signs of
motion sickness: drowsiness, pallor,
(cold sweating, salivation and swallow
fog, nausea and vomiting, appearing in.
that order.
Among other things learned was the
fact that motion sickness is not “just,
your imagination.” It’s always caused
. by motion, even in the classic case of 1
the old lady who got sick before the
i ship left the dock. Boats do move
' while tied up. Inexperienced travelers
were found to be more susceptible, but
really rough travel will make 9 out of
10 persons sick. i
i The wartime studies also showed
that motion sickness is a Droblem for!
' the'doctor and pharmacologist as well j
as for the engineer. Shock absorbers, ,
gyros, and ojher devices to stabilize'
' the equilibrium of vehicles aren’t'
enough. Some types of motion are al-'
most impossible to abolish mechanical
ly. In recent years drug compounds
have been found to protect the pas-'
senger with some success, providing!
