The North Carolina State
Board of "Education recently
authorized the establishment
' hr hrrbrftcfat Gedv GfchWaT'
Educational Development
Testing Center at Central
Piedmont Community
College
The GED is a program
whereby an adult who did not
complete his high school
education may take a series of
tests to demonstrate his
general educational com
petency and be awarded a
certificate recognized and
generally accepted as the
equivalent of a high school
diploma The certificate is
issued by the North Carolina
State Board of Education and
mailed directly to the
recipient.
The. GED certificate is
j recognized almost without
/ exception by industry,
agencies of the Government,
employers, colleges, and other
organizations ind institutions
as the legal equivalent of a
diploma from an accredited
high school. fThe certificate
signifies that \the holder has
educatic t
compara ti
school gi
Any pe „/i
school graduate may apply for
the certificate and take the
tests if: (1) He is 18 years of
age, provided he has been out
of a public school program for
at least six months; (2) He is
a resident of North Carolina.
No formal schooling is
required for an applicant to
take the tests; however, the
more schooling an individual
has had and the more
educational experiences he
has had, the better he will
likely score on the tests. Many
individuals advance their
educational level through
their employment, ex
periences, and through leisure
time activities after leaving
school.
The GED.tests are designed
%
to measure a person's
knowledge and skill in 5
areas ■ 11 > Test 1 measures
abililV to ’’use correcV Vnd
effective English in written
expression; (2) Test 2. .3. & 4
measure ability to read, un
derstand. and interpret
material in social studies,
natural science, and literature
respectively; (3) Test 5
measures the ability to solve
problems in mathematics.
The 5 tests require from 1 to
2 hours each -- a full day, or 2
half days, or longer.
There is no charge for
taking the battery of 5 tests at
Central Piedmont Community
College. Also, there is no
charge for the certificate
issued by the State Board of
Education.
Jim Alexander, Chief
Examiner for the GED tests at
CPCC, states that testing will
be held at the college the first

To Help Control I
jries -
fitter
A continuing campaign to
help control litter has been
given a boost with the delivery
of 250 “Pitch-In” cans,
bringing the total number of
the roadside depositories to
500, the State Department of
Transportation has an
nounced.
The cans were donated to
the state by the North
Carolina Beer Wholesalers
Association, who started the
program last year with an
initial gift of 250 cans.
Overall, this represents an 1
investment of some JdO.OOO
by the beer distributors during !
the two year period.
The 500th can was brought ,
by the Highway Building last
week and delivered to Billy
Rose, state highway ad- .
ministrator. Making the
presentation was Peter
Mallett of Asheville, president
of the Beer Wholesalers
Association.
Rose commended the
association for its action in
making the receptacles
available for the general
public.
"The only way to stop litter
on our highways," he said, "is
for people to place it in con- ‘
tainers. These cans will meet
a very real need and serve a
very real purpose just as the
first 250 did last year. We
could use several thousand of
them."
The cans are being placed,
as were the original ones, at
spots along state highways.
Many of them will be seen at
rest areas and at picnic table
spots in the state. Under an
agreement between the beer
group and the state, the latter
is constructing bases on which
the cans are placed.
James L. Saunders, state
landscape engineer with the
Division of Highways, said the
first 250 cans were used ex
tensively. They are emptied
periodically by state main
tenance crews.
The donors had originally
planned to have the cans
available for last summer’s
tourist season but a shortage
of steel caused delay.
Mallett said that his
association members "are
glad that the original con
tainers have been used so
extensively."
"Although studies show,”
Mallett said, "that beer cans
are only a small part of high
way litter, we feel w<» have a
responsibility to help expand
this program to keeplitter off
the highways and preserve the
natural beauty ofjfhe stale
We hope everyone will par
ticipate in the spirit of Pitch
In’
The effort in North Carolina
is connected with a national
campaign sponsored by the
l) S Brewers Association,
which has spent more than J5
million promoting "Pitch-In"

GET IT ON SAFELY
It is more blessed to give
than to receive. . .especially
when you are entering a
freeway.
In this case, giving means
yielding right of way to the
cars already
on the free
| way. If you
try to force
your car in
to the traffic
Df low, you
could force a
driver tq hit his brakes and
he could receive a severe jolt
in the rear from the car
following him.
Getting on a freeway safe
ly is your problem, not the
problem of drivers already
there. If they vary their speed
to accommodate you, they
couici cause a major pileup.
Entrance ramps usually
lead to an acceleration lane,
and it may be a long one or
a short one, or it may branch
off into an exit. If traffic Is
heavy, you must find a gap
between cars and time your
approach to bring you to
that gap as close as possible
to the prevailing speed of
the other cars.
Turn on your turn signal,
check your rear-view mirrors,
and take several quick glances
over your shoulder. If you
are alert, you will usually
be able to blend into the
traffic flow. If you are follow
ing another car, keep in mind
that it may slow down or
stop suddenly if the driver
is h iving trouble getting into
I hr iraffic.
When you are on a through
lane and see another driver
about to enter that lane from
a r,,fnP' remember ;- making
,«.,ri for him is for vour
o«, wf*ty » sake
