Right Turn
C Red Law
Starting January 1, 1975,
The Right Turn on Red Law
will cease in North Carolina.
The North Carolina General
Assembly, which enacted the
law this year, created the
statue effective only through
December j3l. 1974. North
Carolina Transportation
Secretary Troy A. Doby said
his department will seek
continuing legislation of the
popular law. Doby said, ‘‘I
believe this was an oversight
on the part of the past General
Assembly. Most of the legisla
tors I have talked with seem to
favor cbhflnuing The Right
Turn on Red Law and will try
to gel it passed early in next
year’s session."
.. D.O.T. safety officials said a
check of traffic accidents re
lated to The Right Turn on
Red Law are small In number
according to records. Doby
added, the State plans to keep
its 1.660 signs erected which
prohibit Right turn on Red In

Post Staff Writer
..Two of the West Charlotte
student leaders who went to'
Boston last month agree that
West Charlotte High School's
Vecent disturbances was just a
thing that happens and were
not racially motivated.
..‘‘I wasn't in the area in
which the incidents
occurred.” said Miss Barbara
Blakeney, a member of the
school's executive council.
. The 17-year-old senior said
the students didn't feel that
the incident was that serious
and that everything was nor
mal.
.."The school- Is not that
tense. Nobody is paranoid."
she said.
.."Anytime anybody gets
hurts It is sort of serious," said
star football flanker back. IA
year-old David H'aymer. "But
I'd like to commend the
students at our school. Instead
of taking sides and making the
inc'dents racial-white against
black-we stuck together."
Another student leader.
Kathey Crosby, had no com
ment on the recent incidents
at the school. And assistant
prinicipal Odls Housseau
could not be. reached for an
administrative assessment of
the situation. ^
