I~tBCTtON TWO PAGE SIX Ibis is the Law By ROBERT E. LEE (For the N. C. Bar Associalton) Limited-Access Highways ! North Carolina is building throughout the State limited-ac cess highways. Some of these highways are being built in co operation with the Federal Gov ernment and with funds partially furnished by the Federal Govern ment. A limited-access highway is a roadway designed particularly for the movement of through traffic, i%ion which cross-traffic has been eliminated or severely curtailed, to which entrances and exits ere strictly controlled, and in which abutting iawnowners have no easement or right of access dif ferent from that enjoyed by the general public. Such highways are sometimes called “freeways,” “thruways,” “express ways,” “parkways” or “belt-lines”. A 1957 statute, enacted by the General Assembly of North Caro lina, vests in the State Highway Commission broad powers relat ing to the establishment and maintenance of limited-access highways. Such highways are de fined in the statute as "controll ed-access facilities.” This 1957 statute, in part, says: “No person shall have any right of ingress or egress to, from or across controlled-access facilities to or from abutting lands, except at such designated points at which access may be permitted, upon such terms and conditions as may be specified from time to time by the Commission.” The Supreme Court of North Carolina has said: "Motor cai transportation is a basic need ol modern society. It is of vital im portance in the social and eco nomic life of our people. The de velopment of high speed motor car transportation has brought more and more traffic congestion and an ever mounting grisly toll of automobile accidents. Forty thousand deaths, a million and one-half injuries, and two billion dollars worth of property dam age demonstrates the gravity of the problem confronting public highway authorities.” “It is said that less than 15 per cent of the mishaps on ordinary roads Will occur on an equal mile age of limited access highways, and, while limited-access urban highways can easily handle 1.500 vehicles per lane hour, only 400 vehicles per lane hour can be car ried on ordinary urban streets.” “The most important private right involved in limited-access* highway cases is the right of ac-j cess to and from the highway by an abutting landowner. The basic problem in every case involving destruction or impairment of the right of access is to reconcile the conflicting interests---i.e., private versus public rights . . . The con struction of limited-access high ways is bound to cause a disloca tion of rights, Justice demands that these dislocations be adjust ed in away that will be fair to both property owners and the public.” The Supreme Court proceeded Good Reading lor the Whole Family •News ■ *Facts •Family Features The Christian Science Monitor On* Norway St, Boston 15, Mao*. •and your newspaper tor th# Hms chocked.

Furthermore, that abutting landowners are entitled to compensation for the taking or injury to their right of access to an existing street or highway 1 that has been converted into a limited-access highway. TURKEY PRODUCERS PLAN LARGER CROP NEXT YEAR I Although producars have not: noved most of their 1958 turkey crop to market, Clayton P. Li- 1 beau, poultry and egg marketing specialist for the N. C.. Agricul tural Extension Service, says the producers are planning a larger crop for 1959. Libeau bases his prediction on the Turkey Breeder Hens 1959 Hatching Se.ason Intention report. The 15 states which "arried ovcr| 81 per cent of the nations breed-j er hens, on January 1, 1958, indi-j cated they will hold 7 per cent j more heavy breeder hens for 1959' than they did for 1958. In addi-' tion, they plan to hold 28 per cent more light breeder hens. If the turkey crops increases 7, per cent, Libeau said this could, depress prices 7 per cent below| 1958 levels. Leve’n per cent of 25 cents would be one and three quarter cents. According to the report, Vir ginia expects to hold 25 per cent more heavy white, turkey breed er hens and 35 per cent less Bronze and other heavy typei breeder hens. Beltsvitle and oth-j er light turkey breeds for hatch ing egg purposes in Virginia are' expected to be up 30 per cent, above 1958. Estimate Os Pecan Crop Is Unchanged Reports from producers as of November 1, uphold the October 1 , forecast of a North Carolina pe- | can crop of 1,900,000 pounds, ac cording to the North Carolina Crop Reporting Service. If such a crop is realized, it would be twice as large as the 1957 crop of 950,000 pounds. However, it j would still be considerably below* the 10-vear average production of! 2,116,000 pounds. Damage from Hurricane Helene! was quite severe in several coup-! ties along the southeastern coast- > line, but a fair to good crop st'll appears to be in prospect in most of the important producing coun ties outside the storm damaged area. Product : on for the U. S. is fore cast at 158,000 pounds—down 12- 500,000 from October 1, but still 12 per cent more than the 1957 1 crop of 141.350,000 pounds. INSECTS AND D-SVAS-S THRIVE IN DEAD LEAVES* Sanitation is the simplest and i easiest method of controlling' many insect and d'sease pests of* t-ees.

Some insects and diseases; thrive in dead leaves and limbs j on the ground as well as on the 1 tree, Douglas said. Burning j these dead leaves and branches promptly can reduce many tree troubles. Limbs on a shade tree that are obviously dying or dead should be pruned off and burn- | ed. In pruning, make the final, jcut as close as possible to the) j tree, leaving no stub. If exposed wood is as much : as two inches in diameter on; j most species, Dougiass said, the j I wound should be kept coated with- roofing asphalt or other; suitable covering until it heals* over.

From the King James Version i of the Bible will b« read the fol lowing ({I Corinthians 5:1): “For we know that if our earthly house . of this tabernacle were dissolved, . we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eter ; nal in the heavens.” Also bringing out man’s spirit ual nature is this passage to be read from “Soience and Health I with Key to the Scriptures” by I Mary Baker Eddy. I “Rightly understood, instead of ] possessing a sentient material' form, man has a sensationless body; and God, the Soul of man and of all existence, being perpet ual in rtis own individuality, har mony, and immortality, imparts, and perpetuates these qualities in | man—through Mind, not mat-1 ter” (280:25-30).
