Carolina Power and Light
Company, told appliance
dealers from the four area
counties last night ttiltt
1954 will be an exceptional
ly good business year sec
ond to none. The sales ex
pert spoke at a dinner meet
ing held at Johnson’s Res
taurant for the dealers.
This was the first such meeting'
sponsored by Carolina Power and
Light Conlpany In 16- years, but lo
cal officials said today they hope
Ito make the dinner an annual
event for appliance dealers.
Discussing sales opportunities in
1854, Isley told. the dealers that
"sales possibilities are still good.”
Te pointed out (bat the standard
of living of the people has not
changed, and so sales are likely to
continue high for some time.
CITES TBENDS
Business trends thus far in 1854
are good, the company official told
the appliance dealers. And; he poin
ted to facts which tend to indi
cate that sales will remain high
throughout 1864. *
Also on the program was T. B.
Smiley, Raleigh, who is in charge
of the residential and rural sates
for the two Carplirias. Smiley agreed
with Isley that the outlook for 1854

I Double Parking
Hit By Mayor
Mayor Ralph E. Hanna took a
. step at the enforcement of park
ing laws of Dunn last night when
he charged that the ordinance reg
ulating double parking isn’t being
enforced.
“I don’t know who is responsible,
f but the double parking ordinance
- isn’t being enforced,” Mayor Haiina
; told City Council,
i Answering Mayor Hanna’s charge,
1 Chief of Police Alton A. Cobb said
today that more than 543 was turn
ed over to the town clerk yesterday
: for'fines. Most of this was for
‘ double parking, the Chief asserted.
“Looks like it (ordinance) is being
enforced pretty good,” Chief said.
Consideration of the parking ord
inance came up when the finer
Carolines Committee on Safety re
ported to the Board.
Mayor Hanna called attention to
the large number of persons leaving
cars double parked while parking
spaces are available three or less
cars away.
"There Just tent any need, for
that,” the -Mayor told the Council
men.
City Attorney I. R. Williams add
ed that double parking of trucks
for loading and unloading la be
coming particularly bad. In most
cases the trucks don’t even use the
loading and unloading zones, or the
beck alleys, Attorney Williams
pointed out.
THOUGHT IT WAS ENFORCED
City Manager A. B. Date said
that so far as he knew, the parking
ordinance is being enforced.
The Mayor told the Board that
over parking, and failure to “feed”
parking meters should not' be
"lumped” with double parking char
ges. City Manager Usaie informed
the group that this policy is not
being used. The fine for double
parking is one dollar, the City Man
ager reported.
Meanwhile, while stepping at the
lack of enforcement on one ordin
ance, some four Other city ordin
ances are currently going unen
forced. Included In the delinquent
ordinances are Q) thorn regulating
placement of signs. (3) City Tag
ordinance. (3) Building code ord
inance and (4) tax foreclosures.

j City Is Asked
To Help With
Safety Program
I. Members of the Finer Car-
I olinas Safety Committee
I headed by Herman Green
I last night called on the
I Dunn City Council to exe-
I' cute a three point safety
I program.
I Included in the points presented
I to Council were:
I (1) Purchase of a speed clock for
I the Dunn Police Department.
I (2) Continue the widening of
I main streets and avenues around the
I business district.
[ (3) Removal of trees and shrubs
I that block the view at corners of
| streets and avenues in town.
| Serving on the committee with
I Green are Jesse Capps and City
I Manager A. B. Uzzle.
[ Mayor Ralph Hanna heard the
I requests of the committee and told
I the group that the Council would
take the points under advisement.
However, Hanna pointed out that
the town would not be able to buy
a speed clock until after the July
budget Is drawn. He did promise to
' give consideration ta the proposal
at that time.
COMMENDS TOWN
Green commended the town for
the widening of North Wilson in
front of W. and S. Motory Com
pany, and South Wilson between
Cumberland and Divine. He point
ed 1 out, however, that there are
still a number of other streets that
should be widened.
Committeeman Capps told Coun
’ oil that the' widening of Edgerton
| between Wilson and Magnolia has
. beljjsd cut down traffic blocks, bus
“ w|sd that the project be extends#
' West to North E)lis. ”
"Tor a minimum, of oast and a
maximum of use, the speed clock
should be obtained for Dunn,”
Oreen told Council. Calling atten
tion to speeding in town, Green
said that a speed clock would cut
down on the accident rate in Dunn.
ASKS RECOMMENDATIONS
1 Councilman J. Vernon Bass ask
ed the committee to recommend
1 definite comers where trees or
’ shrubs need to be moved. Both Bass
’ and Mayor Hanna pointed out that
considerable (opposition is voiced
■ when Council attempts to move
1 trees.
Also mentioned for widening were
the blocks in front of the Dunn
• High and Grammar Schools. Green
pointed out that during the open
ing and closing of school, it Is
practically impossible to get by the
schools.
The Safety Committee Is work
