Thousands Visit
Fort Macon State
Park During 1939
Over 12,000 persons visited
Fort Macon State Park and the
historic fortress during the past
year (1939) according to a report
by Director Bruce Kthevidge of
the Department of Conservation
The report was issued in a general
story by the Associated Press
which appeared in print early this
week.
The Beaufort News is of the
opinion that the exact number of
visitors to Fort Macon would be
several thousands more than the
figure given by Director Etheridgj
This would be due to fact that no
admission charges are made to
young children and in usual cases,
school pupils. The figures as re
ported by Ethcridge undoubtedly
covered only tTiose who registere 1
as they entered thf. historic fort
ress. Fort Macon continues to be one
of the principal historical attrac
tions along the North Carolina
coast. It was built in 1824-36 by
the Federal government at a cost
of half million dollars appropriat
ed by Congress as result of efforts
on part of Senator Nathaniel Ma
con, for whom it was named. The
fort became obsolete and for years
it was in partial ruins. During
the past decade however, a detach
ment of CCC workers partially re
stored the fort and it was the.i
turned over to North Carolina by
the government.
Carteret Goes Over
Top In Jackson Day
Dinner Collection
Irvin W. Davis, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee
in Carteret County and also in
charge of the Jackson Day Dinner
campaign reported this week that
not only had the quota been ob
tained but that in collections, this
Coastal section had gone over tho
top. The original quota was $100.
Chairman Davis stated that he had
collected $150.
John Larkin of Trenton, general
state chairman of the Jackson Day
dinner campaign, which leads up
to the dinner itself, which will bi!
presented in Raleigh next Mon
day night, has advised Davis that
Carteret is the first of 12 coun
ties in this senatorial district to
raise its quota not to mention the
business of going over the top.
Those from Carteret who have
planned to attend the dinner ac
cording to Chairman Davis, in
clude: Judge Luther Hamilton,
Sheriff C. G. Holland, M. Leslie
Davis, George McNeill, Eugene O.
Moore, and James B. Long. Chair
man Davis is also planning to at
tend. War in Europe has caused ex-1

Ei'RKr'.I.EY, CALIF. Applied
prycholo.-'y may j et solve the prob
lem of chronic automobile trr.ffic
violators, ps has been demonstrat
ed by tests made here fur the past
two years.
The psychological driving test has
been perfected by Dr. C. E. Brown,
head of the department of psychol
ogy at the University of California,
working in conjunction with E. D.
Fletcher of the state department of
motor vehicles.
The tests were carried out in the i
usual research manner of compar
ing the results attained with one
group of drivers which had taken
the tests and another group which
had not.
The results as obtained from a
group of 97 of the state's worst traf
fic violators showed a drop of 63 per
cent in major and 40.6 per cent in
minor violations for the group as
a whole.
Proved Tro Ways.
A similar select group of chronic
and dangerous violators remained
untested. These continued to show
an increase in their violations.
For the two years in which the
tested group showed a steady de
crease in the number of violations
they committed, the untested group
had 557 convictions for traffic viola
tions as against only 164 convictions
for the tested drivers.
In addition to these tests on chron
ically bad drivers, similar tests also
were made on a group of truck driv
ers of a large corporation which ler.t
its men for the experiment.
Variations in their driving ef
ficiency were measured in terms of
accident frequency before and after
testing.
Following the administration of
the special tests, the records of the
tested drivers improved even more.
Rapid Improvement Shown.
A group of untested good drivers
from the same company, used as a
control group, experienced more ac
cidents after the testing date; al
though all of the drivers, both test
ed and untested, were considered
safe, cautious and capable.
The conclusions from the two
years' of experiments are that the
tests made better drivers out of
good ones and materially improved
both the technique and the caution
of the poor drivers.
An extension of the test also was
made on drivers who possess talents
and others who were rated as just
ordinary or poor.
One hundred and forty-four of
these were tested and compared
with a similar group of untested
drivers.
During the two years of the test,
the tested drivers had 85.5 per cent
fewer accidents than the untested
group.
Hill Families Losing
Ground in California
STANFORD UNIVERSITY,
CALIF. California's hill population
is rapidly declining, according to
Jan O. M. Broek, assistant profes
sor of geography at the University
of California.
"The passing of the old hill fam
ily and many of its descendants,"
he said, "is due to the decline in
lumbering and range operations, de
cline in the birth rate, the compe
tition of valley and rural commu
nities. "These combined with the fact
that California has a low birthrate
as compared with the country as
a whole, have brought about the
phenomenon of lower population in
the uplands, while population in the
lowlands is increasing."
As a result of this situation, he
declared, a high number of schools
in the hill country have been closed,
not because of the establishing of
consolidated schools for several for
merly independent districts, but be
cause the number of children has
so decreased that even the required
minimum of five for each district
cannot be maintained.
"The situation has become so
marked," he said, "that certain
counties in the hill districts are
obliged to depend on migration to
maintain their present population."
Three in Family Become

COVENTRY, ENGLAND. - The
"three Wilkinson sisters" of Coven
try all their lives have been accus
tomed to doing things tf aether.
Now that they are ljia-ried they
have continued the habit, for they
gave birth to baby sons on the same

Sutton, 25 years old; Mrs. Joyce
Holland, 24, and Mrs. Doris Waters,
26. Mrs. Waters is really the aunt
of the other two, being their father's
sister, but all three have been
reared together and known as sis
