The old days of motorists just looking fur that too familiar plain colored Plymouth with solid Mack tires are over. Increased Working Honrs For Patrolmen An (818,000 grant from the Governor’s Highway Safety Program has been granted to the Highway Patrol as an incentive to work on their days off. This will put an additional 375 patrolmen each week patrolling the state’s highways looking specifically for speeders and drinking drivers. Improved Com munications Because patrol communications stations operate on dif ferent frequencies through out the state, the Patrol has purchased five hundred new 12-channel radios. This will enable patrol officers to better communicate with the men under their supervision. Action Against All Violators Members of the Higiway Patrol have been instructed to stop every vehicle on the highway which is exceeding the speed limit by any amount and to take appropriate action based on the offense. Drivers giving the slightest appearance of driving under the influence of alcohol will be stopped every time. Strict Action Against Drivers of State-Owned Cars Secretary Carlton is recommending to the State Personnel Commission that 'any state employee found guilty of violating a motor vehicle law on a state vehicle be given an oral warning for the first offense, a written warning for the second and that he be dismissed for any sub sequent violations. He is also recommending that any state employee committing a serious motor vehicle offense while operating a state vehicle, such as speeding in excess of 75 mph, careless and reckless driving or driving under the influence, be dismissed for a first conviction.

(Combined Ac cident Reduction Effort). This program, endorsed by President Carter, will emphasize voluntary compliance with the national speed limit, high visibility of Patrol during holiday weekends, stricter enforcement of traffic laws in all states, more efficient movement of traffic, and more harmonious interstate cooperation in traffic en forcement efforts between states. Increased Emphasis On Voluntary Compliance Voluntary compliance on the part of citizens is the most effective way to save lives as well as the least expensive and least in convenient for motorists. Traffice information ser vices and frequent reminders of the Patrol’s commitment to strict law enforcement will be in creased. Carlton called on motorists, North Carolinians and visitors, to comply with the speed limit and to cease driving after consuming alcohol. “Let there be no mistake about it,” Carlton said. “This is a serious program, not a cosmetic attempt to satisfy bureaucratic requirements. When 65 per cent of die 1,500 highway deaths occur as a result of speeding or driving under the influence, we can no longer afford to think that violation of a motor vehicle law is any less serious than violation of any other criminal law.” Carlton added, “It is a crime to speed. It is a crime to drive under the influence, and this must be part of our total crime control program. No other crimes cost so many lives.” 'Little Girls' Visit College RALEIGH Ap proximately 75 “little girls” were college co-eds at Peace College for the weekend of April 8-9. The small fries...and some are almost old enough to be real “Peace Girls”...were special guests of the college during annual Little Sister Weekend. Among the visitors were Carol Baker and Liza Vaughan of Edenton, who were guests of Lori Baker of Edenton, a Peace freshman. Special events planned to entertain the diminutive guests included a cookout, ice cream party and sports activities. They also had the opportunity to see the movie “The Sword in the Stone” Saturday night and to ride a bus to the First Presbyterian Church where they attended Sunday morning worship services.

It is the purpose of the colters to provide increased educational opportunities to students and residents of the Coastal Plains area through expanded and improved, programs in teaching. Phillips also stated that the main purpose of the centers is to provide direct help to classroom teachers and administrators in grades 4-12 in teaching and administering com prehensive reading programs. The centers will also provide lectures, seminars, workshops, and give assistance to parents and community volunteers on ways they may help in teaching reading. The centers will serve as a storehouse for various films, filmstrips, professional books, journals, games and magazines to assist both educators and volunteers in becoming more knowledgeable about teaching reading.
