Lt. CoL Edwin Guy, Pa

ported today that arrests

the same period in 1966.
The December DU I arrest

‘This compares to 984 ar

339 per cent increase in
this particular catagory.”
The Patrol executive of
ficer also noted there has
been a substantial increase
in speeding arrests over
the past several months.
“We do not have the
complete figures for De

‘‘but we do know there

Tips On Tableware
| This is the time of year when
newly engaged girls are choos
ing tableware for their future
1 home. While some may settle
1 \ on inexpensive china, glass and
Jk linens, their flatware is a “for-
W ever” decision and for both
quality and practicality, ster-
Br ling silver is their first choice.
Here are tips from the Sterling
HKw IPj Silversmiths Guild on selecting
yy? patterns:
''’sWtr • In the early stages of ster
ling selection, it’s wise to see
the nctnnl silver itself. Only
when sterling’s picked up and
SHL AR|S balanced ... its weight tested
. . . can it be “seen” and se-
Wsmjk ! lected properly.
• > • Ask your sterling retailer
to set up, if possible, a six
" '• piece place setting of your final
j. selections in sterling, along
4- with china and glass patterns,
to judge the total effect.
• Register your pattern
jfHD Vs choice with the store’s bridal
gift registry. While sterling
flatware is traditionally the
JRUBUgHHKUR ■ ■ ■ gift of the parents of the
hi Me. friends and relatives like
~ to give sterling, too. Ry check
j ing the bridal registry, they
jf can find out which place and
h serving pieces you still need.
9,146 arrests, and Novem
ber 11,090 arrests. Lt.
Col. Guy said, “We expect
another increase when the
figures are totaled for De
cember.”
The Patrol officer noted
that during December
there were 414 arrests for
speeding the new speed
timing device, VASCAR.
He stated there were near
ly three-fourths of the au
thorized 100. units now at
work on Tar Heel streets
and highways.
“We expect to have the
full compliment of 100
VASCAR units early this
year," Guy said.

He credits public ac
ceptance of departmental
programs aimed at curbing
the chronic and habitual
offenders as the main fac
tor in what appears to be
a downward trend in
highway deaths.
“The momentum which
built up during the latter
part of 1967 appears to be
continuing into the initial
stages of this year,” How
land said. “As of Tues
day morning (January 9) I
the fatality count was 12
behind the same period in
1967. And January of
1967 was a low month as
far as highway deaths are
concerned.”
Lt. CoL Guy noted the
Patrol continues to utilize
radar and speed watches
in addition to the newly
acquired VASCAR units.
There are also 70 Breath
alyzer units available for
use throughout the state.
This is in addition to
chemical test units operat
ed by local law enforce
ment agencies.
